All three factions have reached out to their allies - the Tellarite, the Orion and the Sulliban, to produce three new Cruisers, each with their own wing of fighters.

    Reserving judgement until stats are released on the ships and pets, but not holding out much hope, as cstore ships don't tend to get the good stats that lockbox/lobi ships get..

    Not going to win any awards on looks, either.. ;)

    Another Orion ship. Bravo.

    Hope they come with unique bridges. Tellarite low ceiling, Orion with lots of lingerie and new sullliban bridges.

    I'm not big on secondary/allied ships generally. Or flight deck cruisers. One hanger just seems more annoyance than anything; watching them die and having to send more out. Really need an Autofire for hangers again. I'll probably pass on these, none catch my fancy.

    (Cryptic always seems to pick the most horrible angles to post for the ships, imo. Show very little of interest.)

    This bundle is sounding very similar to the Heavy Escort Carrier Bundle (Alita, Qa'Tel, & Jhu'ael) so will this be just another rehash?

    As already stated since no statistics were mentioned no one knows whether these ships will be subjectively good or bad.

    The one struggle I've had with anything carrier-wise for STO is that you have to be specific in your Skill selections to optimize any Carrier abilities which negates another possible good choice then decide if it's worth it since so many carrier things are "gamble" rewarded.

    I'm glad Cryptic is weaving-in some of the more peripheral lesser focused-on factions though into the newer designs & these ships do look interesting ... so far.

    Hopefully those that will automatically buy these will enjoy them, & I'm hoping that the next reveal will offer something that separates these newest ships from the previous versions besides visuals & a console/BOFF slot.

    These look nice, the ship team once again doing a great job - and they're a lovely homage to the ships of Enterprise, but when I saw the headline my anticipation rose as I thought for a tantalising moment we were finally going to get a Vulcan Suurok class ship (the beautiful needle and ring starship from the same series)...

    Hopes dashed. Maybe next time!
  • eradicator84eradicator84 Member Posts: 1,116 Arc User
    Well, it's not a T6 Corsair, but I'll take an Orion ship any year. Thanks Cryptic for finally doing one!
    Hoping the stats are respectable. Assault cruiser sounds like it'll have a tac bent to it after the engy slots.

    Will be interesting to see how it differs to the tac leaning command cruiser.

    Why the command cruisers for KDF weren't Orion based I shall never understand.

    I'll continue hoping per my sig for the cool looking Warbarge Dread will become a playable ship. One year...

    I was wondering when we get a new ship announcement.

    Would have rather had something Vor'Cha or Nova based, it's really time.

    I suppose I'll end up buying them to satiate my collector instinct. Or maybe I'll wait for a sale this time? (Unless they are already discounted on the first day).

    Assuming the ship featuring on top is the Tellarite one, I'm confused how it's green. I've always expected gray-brown for them.
    Then again it might be Orion, in which case I don't get why it's so different from all other Orion ships. Basically the Suliban is the only one easily recognisable.

    Yeah, the looks of the ships make me confused...

    It will probably be more akin a Command Cruiser light, but with the new miraculous repairs boff slot instead of command.

    As i already own all of the Orion FDC i am very interested in the new Orion Ship, but as i mentioned in the General discussions topic i don't know what to think of the Tellarite and Suliban Designs.

    Will hold off on the purchase though since i recently purchased a cross faction flagship bundle and the kitty is empty for now.

    Also.. Stats please. (don't forget to include an article about the new miraculous repairs thing.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Great designs, they look really awesome.

    I just hope that the starship trait won't cause too much lag. Not that I know much about these things, but that trait looks like it will need continuous updating with even the slightest movement.

    when I first saw this I was happy. New ships sweet cross faction ships. I love flight deck Cruisers. then I saw the console, its a good console i gess but when i saw thet it can go on a Fleet variant, I stoped reading. and now I don't care i'm not joining a fleet just to get a proper T6, the ship you buy should be top of the line. most T6's are just T5's with a ship trait, and most ship traits suck. there are T5U's with better stats then non fleet T6's and just as good as some Fleet T6's so. you should not have to pay extra for one console slot and a sliver of hull.

    They were, but not bright green, more a dull/dark green with bright green nacelles on the front sides of the ship and big impulse reactors on the rear, a bit like 24th century Romulan ship color on the DD's and later Valdore types.

    Will the Suliban one get a Warp Core (instead of Singularity one) and/or some cruiser commands?

    The Universal console is something that leaves everything to be desired.....Nothing scramble sensors can't do......let alone jam sensors for shutting down foes targeting you. As for the trait....Meh. Now for the ship design, nice. But I want to see the ship stats BEFORE making any decision. But as of right now, they are a pass for me. Console doesn't do anything you already can't do, and the trait is also something you can already do with Boff abilities.

    Also, I dunno if it's just me, but the Orion ship looks NOTHING like all the other Orion ships.

    That's actually a good question, I'd like to know that myself.
  • szerontzurszerontzur Member Posts: 2,723 Arc User
    Wow.. they're.. actual Tellerite ships. Definitely want to see some more angles of the Orion ship.. as it feels a bit different from the current ingame designs. (Not in a good way - it looks like a plastic toy with cheap decal stickers glued on its hull.)

    I have to say though, after playing the amazing Stellaris Mod - Star Trek: New Horizons - seeing the inclusion of these allied ships in STO is causing my geek-cup to flow-eth over.

    To me so far they still sound too familiar to the previous bundle, but as always for at least me, the statistics matter more. We can only pilot 1 starship at a time after-all until Cryptic gets innovative & allows some sort of wing-man function for our other owned starships to be used. I still like how Cryptic is incorporating the other lesser factions even if it is in a small way & the 3 ships do look pretty good so far with me liking from best to worst: Pralim, Blackguard, & Silik. We've had very limited angles though so far for viewing. Interesting Starship Trait too & I wonder if it will be useful for Carrier pilots.

    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Hey guys! Figured I'd pop in to respond to a few specific requests. Remember that a complete Stats/Details Blog will follow this announcement within the next day or two.

    Assuming the ship featuring on top is the Tellarite one, I'm confused how it's green. I've always expected gray-brown for them.

    As has been covered by a few other responses, this is the screen-accurate material.

    However, we're also including a more subdued material (which has a more brownish hue), as an additional option for this vessel, since we understand that may be what many players expect. I think this is actually the Arkonian material, but is among the top results if you look for "Tellarite Cruiser" using any popular search engine.

    Will the Suliban one get a Warp Core (instead of Singularity one) and/or some cruiser commands?

    It will have a standard Warp Core. This means it will not have access to Singularity abilities, but will have Cruiser Commands.

    More details will be included in the Stats blog!

    Branching out into new styles is a positive direction in my view.

    All three of these vessels are canon designs which appeared on-screen in episodes of Enterprise.
