"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
I like the shape of it, but I wish it had the current Fek'Ihri colors (rusty black with red Klingon script all over).
They talked about it in the Ten Foward Stream and call the designers made was that black was simply too dark for the details to show up. I'm paraphrasing here obviously but that's essentially what they said.
What is this heresy?

"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
Fastest Race on Ice in Q's Winter Wonderland, looks like. Same as usual for Winter ships.
So you can get more than1 per run through?
From how it played last winter, you can run the races as much as you want; the race itself had a 10 minute cooldown, but the Stack of 40 vouchers/portraits was on a 20-hour cd.
Me, I have to plan/plot my logistics, and make a schedule as some chars will be racing to complete projects for ships from previous years I was unable to complete (One completion on an account unlocking the Ship for the Account), and which alts to run for the new ship.
And I really, really want the Heavy Metal Warship! Fickle Store ship! The Fek'Ihri S'torr Warship!
The real question is how is for roasting chestnuts?

No, no, nothing heretical here! That's a Combi-Warship! Industrial Cooking-fires! Soldiers need to eat, you know! Few things motivate troops to kick TRIBBLE than the promise of a favored meal, cooked to perfection, waiting for their victorious return from brutally slaughtering the enemy!

I like warships, so will be going for this. Gonna go for it on the other family accounts as well so they can have it.
I've long extended STO's leash when it comes to things like fire in space and the like. It's a game, it entertains me and that's all that counts.
I just considered it plasma of some sort. The Kar'fi looks more steampunk in space with its "smoke stack" than the S'torr but with some of the other crazy ships and tech in Trek neither are too far out in comparison.
Only able to get via a stupid race I'm very not happy, I'm furious!! Nobody I know in game even likes those ice races!! Foot races would be better for risa not winter wonderland!! I was excited for the new ship and the event, now I'm simply angry cause I suck at the races and won't be able to get the thing.

I thought I would have the same problem, but after some frustrating runs I got the hang of them. Mostly you have to relax, use the inside lane embankments a bit to slow for turns, and be ready to cancel the running toggle by using the "roll" key if you fell like you are going to slide out of bounds. You have to do it with running toggled on as much as possible (in the straighter sections of track at least) you will never beat the npc on the regular jog setting.
It helps to think of it like a hovercraft race, you need to face the direction you want to go or even a bit further, not the direction you are going at the moment like you were in a real footrace.

I lose a little bit of speed, but making constant mini-turns/course-corrections helps me to make the turns easier, and mitigate sliding so I don't slide out. Also, someone mentioned failing the race deliberately until you get a race w/o any opponent, and then you can just walk.

I promise you this: If you take the jump/roll advice you will never lose the solo race again... you'll win by a wide margin every time.
To reiterate the method(s):
- Use sprint, and run manually (easier without toggle run on)
- When you reach a turn where you'd slide more than a little do one of the following:
- - Jump and LET GO of the movement keys until you've landed.
- - Roll and let go of the movement keys
- You'll end up at a complete STOP, and won't be sliding.
- Face the new direction the track takes, and sprint... repeat until you win
You can practice the jump/roll stop on the track before you actually do the race. Once you have it down (and its really not hard to do) you will destroy the AI opponent in every race.
Just remember, if you have no opponent you are eligible to be hit by snowballs thrown by snowmen if they are active.

According to the video I saw of someone reviewing the ship it has three materials available, one is the shiny new one in the announcement, one looks like something fished out of a trash fire (almost like a Reaver ship from Firefly), and one of them is rusty and dark with Klingon graffiti in red.
Also you can change the look with the color and pattern controls in the customizer. The reviewer did not spend long in the customizer but it looked like the graffiti stayed on top when patterns were applied so you could use the black and dark gray with one of the more covering patterns if you wanted in more black than the ashy smoke-damaged look of the material with the script. The down side seems to be that it apparently has no bridge at all, or at least didn't when it was reviewed.

I'm sure some ppl tested it on tribble server first. Then there are the Whales of STO. The players that can afford to open hundreds, or even thousands of Lock Boxes, and are now swimming thru massive piles of Lobi Crystals like Scrooge McDuck in his gold. So they have no problem just forking over Lobi for Vouchers.
Power to the Whales! TY for supporting STO! And thank you to those kind enough to share previews!
