Mention of an IKS Amar? The original destroyed by V'ger. Might this foreshadow the long sought after art pass for the beloved K't'inga class?
(Sincerely, STO would have done a much better job creating the Klingon ships for the show, rather than the designs that were thrown out there by the Bad Robot production company)
Hopefully the full profile pictures will be shown in the follow-up about their stats.
I concur with your prediction. Aside from some minor weirdness with the present UI for ship equipment, the leveling ships are a promising concept, and I look forward to more of them.
This was expected. Discovery to date has no Romulans at all. There can't be any Romulan Discovery ships if there are no Deisgn cues to take from.
I can dig it.
Still upset that there are no Romulan or Dominion designs, but as the Prince of All Two and a Half Saiyans pointed out, there's no data from that era to extrapolate from.
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!
but by the way i like the gagarin.
Hoover. Very appropriate name for a ship operating in the vacuum of space.

Well we already have a Dyson-class, so why not...

I agree, looking forward to the Romulan War
If Scopely can whip up KT based romulan designs for the 23c I'm pretty sure Cryptic can do a few S.. T.. D.. era ones too. So that 'no reference' excuse doesn't fly with me.
really guys? yer gonna replace S.. T.. D.. with 'tribble'?

It may be a case of CBS not allowing them to make Discovery era Romulan ships
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Won't matter... they want it and they want it NAO, even with 0 reference material.
I do have to wonder though, is this potential mega-pack going to differ from past ones? I mean, Fed side we have a Raider/Escort, potentially a cruiser and the third could very well be a Sci ship. Perhaps instead of three variants of a single class of ship, we're getting 3 different classes that could share a console set.
It could be interesting if they go that route.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
> I know it’s disappointing that we have to wait even longer for Romulan ships, but to be honest I’m glad Discovery won’t be using Romulans as they’re not supposed to be interacted with at that point in time and the Disco writers would just ruin them anyway.
Considering Starfleet lost most of its ships to the Klingorcs Earth should be preparing to welcome their new Romulan overlords at this point. I fail to see how they could stop them given the utter incompetence Starfleet Command displayed in the late war.
You're right! I forgot about that when I was typing my previous message. Dyson, Hoover, fans and vacuum cleaners. I wonder what else they'll name a ship or location after. Wonder (as in Wonder Bread), or Oscar Meyer ("I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner..."), or something along those lines?
