Ships level with you, so is that being applied to all ships? Or just all T6 ships?
Earn Zen store ships playing events, does that mean you'll be able to pick a Z-store ship in lieu of the event ship? Is it all Z-store ships, or just a select few curated for the event? Does tier have an impact on how many vouchers you need to turn in to claim the ship? For example, would a T2 ship require only 200 event vouchers while a T6 would require the usual 1000?

They are adding more missions in May with "Rise of Discovery" which will invariable involve "Priors World" a location added onto the game map not too long ago, the place where Lorca, and Mirror Lorca, switched places during the Ion Storm.
So, in June we get the Disco-prise (IE the version of the 1701 seen on Star Trek: Discovery.)

Going by what's in the 'screenshot' of the June graphic.
I do hope is IS a C-Store and not a Lockbox or Resource pack ship, but we'll see.

So no actual new places to go, no exploration to replace the foundry content you're going to remove, just ships and the same old events or re skinned existing events? More detail would be great because to be honest I see nothing there for end game vets.
Matt, in my years of playing this game (started as a Free 2 play captain, still am), endgame has always been something that they had struggled to really make anything defining. I believe that people running the harder TFOs was what they wanted for endgame. Then again, this is an MMO we're in, so endgame is always going to be a goal post that's moved countless times.
I assume that major update is more then just leveling ships for the PC?
The major update is called "Rise of Discovery" which the title of Age of Discovery Part 3. Make of that what you will, but at the very least, we're getting at least 2 more episodes that will be inserted into the Age of Discovery storyline for Discovery captains as part of their leveling path.
So is that ALL ships level with you? Like T6 Nova and T6 Oberth???
If it's anything what they mentioned on Priority One Podcast almost a month ago, It'll be T6 ships only, so stuff that normally can be flown from level 50 onward like the flagships, multi mission Explorers etc. Can be flown as early as Level 4-5 or lower if the character skips the tutorial.
T6 Nova and Oberth may be made, but it wouldn't be to raise ships that don't have T6 to T6 status.
Well they did say back last year that they would be tying things in closely with the TV show as wished by CBS. So that they are pumping out Discovery related content is not that unexpected. When the Picard Files (or whatever it is called) drops then wouldn't be surprised if content comes out for that and so on. The arc will end eventually and the next one will roll on in.
Though something other than a seemingly endless run of events and same style missions would be good. Exploration, heck even pure diplomatic missions would get some interested.
June sounds interesting. Hopefully not ships I've bought already.
Glad to see a T6 Risian Corvette. It's a fun little ship and looks good. Vorgon ships were ok, but just didn't really seem appropriate for the Risian Summer Event. Two of them hassle Picard when he's on vacation one time. Not a lot of reason for them to be Risian ships, imo. I much preferred the actual Risian 'flavored' ships.
Who asked for "ship levels with you"? Do you think that's an improvement? I disagree we need more end game and more content not ways for PWE to make profits. At least look up the quality of life improvements that really matter like fixing maps, bugs, improving PET/R&D tabs and the such.
Real disappointing infographics IMO.

Happy Dance time if that's the case!
The Discovery Constitution was already in the previous roadmap blog, for March.
Happy Dance time if that's the case!
I missed that one (hospital), so I shall remain excited and do a Happy Dance regardless

But I wanted a Risan Yellow Science Vessel Submarine!
Okay, I admit, a T6 Corvette would be fun, too, especially if it means more kitbashing.
Yes. No. Maybe.
I guess you'll have to wait to find out.
Landry or Mirror Landry?
Last Roadmap used a screen grab from the show though. This one's an in-game model so Happy Dance away, my friend.

I'd have been shocked if it was NOT coming at some point. More a question of when not if.
