That ship with pulse phaser dual beam banks would look glorious
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
I always thought this ship was a fighter sized vehicle.
A perception the black 'cockpit transparency' certainly helps.
I guess cryptic upgraded it with a mass device?
Did you say 'MASS Device'? Yes, transporters certain fit the bill, function-wise... but the pun really works given what else IDW has comic rights to besides Trek...
it is ugly... it has wings... for space. the design is junk. some designs look good... but if you think about them practically.... they are design mistakes that would never work in real life. some you can roll your eyes and forget about it and just let it go... this... no so sure. not saying I wont grind it out... just that it doesnt seem like they spent any real time designing this ship at all.
There isn't a single ship in the series or the movies that would "work in real life".
And spaceships are allowed to have wings if they want them. The Space shuttle has them and it goes into space.
See. warbirds and birds of prey. The Bajorans were a little too conservative IMO for not detailing in the feathers.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Look forward to it. My second oldest toon is Bajoran and this will complete everything.
Now if only we could equip the Bajoran Phaser Rifle/Pistol from the DS9 pack on all of our crew. Including Boffs.
I thought you could. I never bothered to try it myself, but I was thinking you could claim several.
Nope. They're "unique". Max of one per character. If you fiddle with the upgrade window, you can have 2 of each (One upgraded and one not). Not enough for an away team.
Maybe I should have said, "Now if only we could claim/upgrade enough Bajoran Phaser Rifles/Pistols for our entire crew".

Honestly I think I would've preferred the Cardassian Hideki, but free is free so I'll take it.
*thumbs up to that*
Add 2 more thumbs up to that thought.
I cannot help but think this Escort is pretty powerful though. Good speed and maneuverability, tough hull and shields for an Escort. I really hope that this ISN'T the forerunner of a T6.5 line...
But I'm still underwhelmed. Clearly they have run out of ideas.
Nope. Because that is actually a CANON design seen in Deep Space Nine. And with the upcoming expansion centering around DS9 if "Victory is Life" is any clue... its actually a clever move to bring in a canon DS9 related design.
Looks like an interesting ship to play with. And who knows... might look pretty good with certain shield visuals to make it look like a non-Bajoran ship (for those who are objecting to the fact it is Bajoran). I mean... Terran Taskforce shield or even the Jem'Hadar shield might make it look interesting. I am dreading the idea of what it could look like with the Reman shield. There are some ships that the Reman Shield visuals just do NOT go well with. *looks at the Ambassador class*
guessing it will be a by toon unlock an not account wide. have not played STO in a long while FB post about the ship has me reinstalling the game. hope the ol gen 1 T6 ships can hold there own still I remember how power creep tended to be. May even roll a new Baj. toon

Nope, account unlock. Only have to grind on one toon to get it for all. Has been this way for several years now.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.
You really shouldn't just scale up a fighter to starship scale. Makes it look out of place and stupid.
This was my thought and on first glance I thought it was a shuttle-sized giveaway. That it's a fully capable escort is pretty cool I admit and it does give my Bajoran alt a reason to be played more. Those big front cockpit windows make it look like a cockpit, you know? I guess I can twist it to be an observation deck...I guess....but seems a very frivolous waste of space.
Not saying I don't enjoy the Bajorans getting a little love, and hopefully with the Cardassians and Dominion to follow it will be nice to look forward to something like Season 15...The Gamma Quadrant. It's not like it hasn't been screaming to be done for years. And there were a lot of alien species there that could use some story.
Nice ship, I'll definitely go for it. But c'mon, excuse for using a generic bridge is super lame. How come lockbox/lobi ships have special bridges that every faction can use, hmmm?
that's rather easy to explain, it takes a lot of time (and thus money) to make a unique bridge, I've heard it said repeatbly that it takes as long to design a unique bridge as it takes to design a ship.
Looks great! I have been waiting for this ship to be included in the game for a long time, and am very happy it is coming soon. Am eagerly awaiting any further Bajoran content. )

people who hate this ship (probably only about the size of the Defiant) for having wings, probably loathe the Scimitar line with the fury of thousand suns seeing as that's massive Dreadnaught and most of it's size is wings or the 26th century romulan ship that's pretty much nothing but a huge wing. Well you get the idea...
Ship looks good (even if it is second Tac ship in row)
The Warp cores on the ship are nice, the Experimantal Heavy Weapon too, but that console is targeted more for equipping on Fed ships - it's got +Phaser damage passive bonus... the problem is - it will propably be part of a set for a gear on future Megapack - which means 3 ships Fed, 3 Romulan and 3 KDF - are you sure you want to keep the passive bonus +Phaser damage for all factions?
No it's not for a pack. The console goes with the set from the upcoming Episode.
Wrong - it is stated clearly in the blog, that the Warp Cores are part of a set from episode!
These Warp Cores are part of the Bajor Defense Set, which may be completed by obtaining and equipping additional pieces of the set rewarded by playing the “Scylla and Charybdis” Featured Episode each week
Err That's what I said! You said that it would be part of a set of gear on a future Mega Pack, which it is not.

Sure i said... but if you want to hold to it maybe you shouldn't quote the whole thing yes?
Where you (and me) write clearly about console....
Well it's far from the most interesting design I've ever seen. Pretty boring and bog-standard if we're being honest. Not that it's bad - it's a pretty solid, time-tested look - but that doesn't make it not generic either.
Still gonna get it tho. I don't own many Pilot ships!
Does seem interesting the ship being Bajoran and the expansion this summer covers Ds9 and the Dominion.
Guessing a lot of T6 ships will be released ,but will any of them be other Bajoran or cross-faction ships.
Also would anyone like to guess on the odds for a major pack-bundle etc to tie in with the summer expansion.
Nice too. Might take a bit to get used to 5 front weapons if I roll her on one of my KDF toons. Then again took me a while to get used to my KDF Destroyer.
Slap on some blue paint markings, chuck some Borg gear on, purple fuzzy dice hanging off the viewscreen and a hula girl Gorn chick on the dash. Maybe orange Shag Pile carpeting, 8 Track player, bumper stickers that says " Disco Rules! ".
Look forward to it. My second oldest toon is Bajoran and this will complete everything.

Maybe I should have said, "Now if only we could claim/upgrade enough Bajoran Phaser Rifles/Pistols for our entire crew".
By using the upgrade system they lose the Unique mod which allows multiples to be claimed. There is a trick to it though, besides the phasers, the Type ten shuttle and the duty officers also have the unique mod on them dismiss those as well. Then you should be able to reclaim the pack and get the weapons again. Although in my experience it takes some time before the pack in the store updates to be reclaimable. Sometimes its minutes , others its a week or more. On my main toon, Ren, I have about 10 Bajoran Phaser Rifles and 10 Bajoran Phaser pistols. All at either MK XII to MK XIV Epic.
Was expecting something related to DS9 and well we got it..Good one cryptic..Good one..The console is interesting and want to see how I can fit it into my sov with phasers, fore quantums & aft photons..If it works it will be up for an upgrade on the upgrade weekend!! Eager to see what kinda punch it adds to phasers..
