Just started testing, will post more as i find it
ETA: But thank you for letting Roms fly more ally ships! This is a great boost to my favorite faction.
rip FED
Also, is there a reason the command assault cruiser is in that list? All of the others are ships with romulan versions or ships with a cross-faction trait/console box, but not that one.
Can't get on tribble due to sub lock, but can you even test that feature without the c-store working?
Zen store ships aren't purchaseable on tribble
The rolling airlock doors use the wrong SFX, and it appears that they are the only ones that have SFX at this point.
Obviously, it's still being tweaked, so the second part will most certainly change... but I'd love to see the proper SFX for the various doors and what not... if possible, of course!
Given that we've had four factions already, but didn't get any new TOS-era ships after the Connie and Atlas were released... there was never a guarantee that there would be Jem'Hadar ships released for the rest of this game's life. At least I never have thought that.
They also do not say they're not going to release more Romulan ships in the future. Let's not just to conclusions, unnecessarily.
Or a rotation between ROM and JEM ships with the three-bundle. One question I'll throw out for speculation/panic is whether ROM ships will get the other feature coming for Jem'Hadar (probably safe to say this change is to bring ROM in line with new sub-faction template.) Ie. T6 mastery and unlocked ship use for FED/KDF.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
> Can someone explain why the zen store (or a tribble equivalent) isnt available on the tribble test server? If I could test a ship before buying it it would I crease the likelihood of me actually purchasing it by a huge margin, for example the only reason I wanted (and luckily got) the bug ship from the Phoenix box was because I tested it on tribble first to make sure that it was a good ship. Im not here to complain about it I'm just asking why it isn't a feature, like is there a big server issue or something?
Possibly there are technical reasons but it’s just as likely that you’d be less likely to buy some ships if you could try them first. I’d never have bought the bort bundle all those years ago if I could have tried it first.
Doesn't mean they're gonna make them purchaseable on tribble
I think they actually did this at one time. Then people would just play on Tribble and NEVER buy the ship on Holodeck.

Does this mean we are losing the reclaimable starship traits from those on new characters? As it stands if I've unlocked a starship trait for my FED or KDF toon that I can't normally get on a ROM I just open a reclaim box, but if those are accessible I guess I've got to grind it out on a ship I don't want to use like my FED toons do.
Yeah I agree. And anyway, say I didn't like a ship that I tested, if I had just outright bought it I would (and am) much less likely to buy another ship in the future, even if it is good because I haven't been able to test it.
If NOT being able to test ships on Tribble LOST them sales, they would reinstate it.
Because, you know, whole point of selling ships.

I can confirm that is intended. Gamma reputation items (apart from one or two of them) are meant to be re-engineered. Spartan confirmed it for me personally ingame when we were talking in reddit chat ingame after the latest patch dropped. I'll link the screenshot of chat later, busy with dinner
awesome, but i would really like a button to claim all the admirality cards from the ships owned in the zen store without claiming them all manually
ingame: @Felisean
But its been years since they took it away and the amount of ships available is overwhelming meaning if people would likely only test the ones that they want and then buy them when they're ready. I'm not asking for it back because I don't know what the deal with it was (sales, server issues, time etc.) I was just trying to figure out why cause its something i've wanted for years now.
Oh yes, claim all ships for admirality only, or something like that.
It would be such a time-saver. Rather than obtain every ship, then open the Admiralty panel to ensure you get the cards, then dismiss all the ships, repeat for ages until you have every ship you own as a card.
