We've made an update to the venerable Centaur class, and this new look will be free to anyone who owns the ship! Coming very soon on PC, and a little bit later on Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Looking foward to it.
Thank you for the visual update

From what I see, it doesn't look much different to the canon Centaur Class.
The crew of these ships are apparently quite lucky torpedoes have a guidance system and can change their path, considering the canon ship fires torpedoes downwards before they level out.

Re the comments on accuracy of the model above. To be honest I found all the extra greeblies detracted from the design. Sure, they look more messy on the studio model compared to how they actually appeared in the episode due to the UV lighting pass and so on, but I think using the tidier magazine version (if that's what the team did) was a good call. Looks slicker in game, and the more prominent extra pods and add-ons below the saucer are there, so it's a good compromise IMHO.
My main toon will be giving his Sojourner and Wells-class a rest and reverting to his venerable Centaur (updated with 25th century tech in my head-canon) again once the new skins have been fixed - pulse phasers already fitted and ready to go! Shame about the bugs on launch but these things happen, and it'll definitely be worth the wait.
Thanks once again to the ship team, keeep up the good work, and please keep the late 23rd century love coming! :-)
Wish we could use the Pioneer class as well for light cruisers
And lose the wonderful possibilities of kitbashing? Come on, do you even Space Barbie?
Looking foward to it.

Maybe they might get a chance to do the Vor’cha and Negh’var.

Nova first.
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

Just purchase 1 today and counter the same problem. hope they can fix it soon.
Not necessarily.
It's not a new thing where canon STO ships are concerned. It's actually a predictable pattern we've seen before:
- ship receives quality pass (in this case, Excelsior class and Miranda class)
- ship that uses 'parts' from the quality pass ships receives it's own quality pass (centaur class)
- and in this case, new ship introduced that uses 'parts' from the quality pass ship (Georgiou)
We saw the same thing with the Galaxy class. Once that ship received it's quality pass, the Nebula and Galaxy Dreadnought were not too far behind.
Sadly, it seems the chances of us getting canon ships that would be 'start from scratch' on the quality pass front are rather a lot less.
