But kudos on the Perry Rhodan link! Good to see someone has taste.
Wow that does look similar to the Tellarite vessel.
Well, Trek is known for taking an existing design, making a few cosmetic modifications, and using it for another ship. The Husnock and Amerie are prime examples of this.
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!
So I guess that gapping hole left in the Klingon Defense Forces that can only be filled by the release of a T6 Vor'cha will continue to be unfilled.
I'll keep looking down and when I see hell freezes over i'll check STO blogs and we might see this ship added.
Would have thought with a TNG celebration coming up some of the missing TNG ships might get added. You could have bundled the Vor'cha with either a New Orlean's/Steamrunner/Sabre/Norway/Ambassador (TRIBBLE the Guardian its not an Ambassador until it wears the skin).
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Also, I dunno if it's just me, but the Orion ship looks NOTHING like all the other Orion ships.
It's the only one that's ever appeared in a live-action Trek episode (other than the "Journey To Babel" TOS ship), Harad-Sar's cruiser from Enterprise. "Bound" if you want to look it up. There's at least three other reasons to watch that episode
Been having problems with purchasing Zen from the Labour Day weekend sale and still do. I don't think I'll be able to buy it when it becomes available.
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.
Just my luck that missed the later episodes of Enterprise when they introduced the Tellarites and their ships

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.
Which powers? The only things I can think which are similar are either from spec trees (Pilot), personal traits (Coalition Tactics), or other ship traits (Numerical Superiority), etc.
Edit: Which powers, in the sense of being an adaptive/updating effect based off of a varying number?
Plus, who knows, the console could distinguish itself by being hard to clear/enforced for a period like the sabotage probes or corbomite maneuver, something that compels action by the target.
The Blackguard is an updated Harrad Sars Barge, look at the memory alpha pics to get an idea about what the rest of the ship looks like. Where do the pets launch from?
Unlike the other Faction based allied race ships, these aren't similar, but original designs, they are canon iconic ships from the Enterprise series. I wonder if we will encounter these ships as NPCs.
This explains why the Blackguard has no windows.
I hope the Blackguard comes with the beautiful main cabin, maybe as a ready room (it was functional).
I also expect the Blackguard to have better turn rate, given the ship it's based on had good speed and mamvuerablity.

The Console does a lot more then Scramble Sensors.
It effectively scrambles sensors, but also makes the main target threat level go way up, so it's a primary threat/target.
If that not enough, it also reduces the targets damage resistance, with the amount depending on confused allies it has, less is more.
So it's a mix of scrambled sensors and Attack Pattern Beta, while boosting the threat generation of your target.
Oh and it boosts crit severity for energy weapons and enigeering readiness.

What's more, they reused the same model again for the Xindi-Arboreal ships.

Oh my, thank you all for pointing out these are all canon designs. I seriously didn't recognise any. Somehow I was believing till now that the Tellarite ships in Enterprise were only seen as little brown dots in the distance, not actual modeled ships. And the others, no clue they were in the show.
On the plus side, the Orion ships looks to actually be Orion upon inspection of screencaps from the show.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
So... we've had an Allied Escort bundle, now an Allied Flight-Deck Cruiser bundle... should we expect somewhere down the line an Allied Science Vessel bundle too?
Federation - a new Vulcan science vessel (obviously).
Klingon - Lethean perhaps? (we already have three T6 Gorn science vessels. While Letheans aren't know for scientific exploits, they're deceptively intelligent, and excellent information gatherers. And we've never seen a Lethean ship).
Romulan - maybe Yridian? (there's a Yridian presence around Republic space, and they're typically depicted as information brokers and traders. "Scientific research" might just take on a broader meaning to them )
Please be science cruisers. Please don't be yet another lt.com tac cruiser
I want this too. Sci focused FDC to replace the Corsair. But the "FDC Assault Cruiser" naming pretty much locks in a tactical focus.
Will keep hoping and using the Klinzhai until then...
Also, I dunno if it's just me, but the Orion ship looks NOTHING like all the other Orion ships.
Bulbous potato looking ship with turret emplacements all over? Looks perfectly in-line with the thematic stylings of the other Orion ships to me!
Granted the greeble work on the ship in the single shot we have for now is nowhere as good as the others, but my guess is they're going for screen accuracy rather than conformity across the Orion line-up with the non canon ships.
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.
Yikes!
So Starfleet hired the Tellarites who in turn contracted out to Gamilas to build the Pralim?
The Klingons went for the Orions who hired the Zentraedi for the Blackguard.
And the Romulans hired the Meltrandi for the Silik.
Good to know.
Now, how do I get my Tier-6 Cordoba Heavy Cruiser from Crusher Joe?
All joking aside.
It is really nice to see designs that are clearly inspired by other science fiction artists like Kazutaka Miyatake, Leiji Matsumoto, Jun Okuda, and Shoji Kawamori instead of the standard Federation, Klingon, and Romulan style of ships of Matt Jefferies, Michael Okuda, and the other great artists of Star Trek.
Branching out into new styles is a positive direction in my view.
Kudos to Cryptic's 3D art staff for a job well done and for introducing new ideas, designs, and styles to Star Trek.
Keep up the great work ladies and gents, you are breathing new life into an old SF universe.

These will probably be available for sale starting Thursday. They will be released for the first Weekend only at T5 prices (ships 2,500 Zen, Bundle 5,000 Zen). If, and that is if, they run a 20% off Ship Sale, they will instead be on sale for 2,400/4,800 Zen.

It's good that the less used races are getting ships based on them, was starting to get tired of the "norm". However, where are my carriers? still waiting on a 3 pack on them.
Unless the Federation gets another there won't be a Carrier Bundle, as the Jupiter has been out for almost two years (Thanksgiving). The don't let you buy a Bundle if you already have something in that Bundle.

Right, didn't say that I'm happy they're developping ships of other than typical Federation/Klingon/Romulan design.
That deserves commendation.

For comparision! http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tellarite_cruiser
Look like they did used the same model >.>
Star Trek series reused models (either physical or CGI) a lot so it's not so surprising that 2 essentially backround ships share models.
