also...as these ships are being modified, will their consoles also be getting their equip restrictions removed like most consoles recently have been out the door?

An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

They actually updated a bunch of T5 ships, but temporal ones, no. Simply because no T5 ship has a specialization.
Is this important? Have I missed something?

It would make sense, since they are from the future and would probably have the ability to hide themselves (if they want to fill a console slot with the device). This is would be especially true for ROMULAN time ships.

Interesting info @ambassadorkael#6946, lol
Edit: good god that screenshot came out huge, I'm going to photoshop it down a bit
Edit 2: Done!
Edit 3: Link is working for me now, idk if you did anything about it or something.
> I'm disappointed that it's only the T6 ships. I've still got my T5U Talvath and R'Mor dry docked on my original Romulan character.
It's only T6 for the Temporal Change, because T5s don't have specializations.
The change from Flight Deck Cruisers to Flight Deck Carriers is even for the Daciot which is a Tier 3 ship.
That makes sense. Devalues the T5s T5Us even further, but with the new "Fly T6 at Level One" update, I guess any non-T6 ship is pretty much useless now. (Except for the ones with useful consoles, of course.)
Why not FlightDeck Escorts?
Also isn't flight deck carrier just a tad redundant? Are we able to think up a better name for them? Probably keep the new carrier part of the name, and ditch flight deck from these ships and find a replacement word of some sort to put there instead.
Not just timeships. The Wells was the OG ship specifically dedicated to temporal shenanigans in canon that appeared playable in the game.
That the T5 version didn't have the temporal mechanics was normal because they didn't exist back then, but the T6 version not having it at its time of release was ridiculous.
That was the ONE thing not to "forget".
Now I can use say Elite Cutpurse Fighters AND Elite Inceptors on my Blsckguard, or Elite Marauding Shuttles AND Elite Orion Slavers on my Dacoit, Elite Orion Taychon Drones and say Cardassian Yukawa Frigates on my Retrofit Fleet Corsair.
I own the Daciot, the Corsair, the Retrofit Corsair, the Fleet Retrofit Corsair, the Marauder, the Blackguard, and best of all the Fleet Blackguard, heck I also known the what is now the Cardasaian Intel Flight Deck Carrier Ghemor Class, so this change is HUGE for me it buffs 8 of my ships in a way that is fun and awesome.
I am curious if Flight Deck Raptors will be effected at all, if not that actually makes them more unique beyond their ability to cloak. I own those too. This seems pure win for me.
The Flight-Deck Cruisers & Carriers seem a bit more complicated & could affect, negatively, how players had previously chosen their certain Skill path prior to this change but I still like this change & clarifying.
The Strike Wing Escorts is simply a relabeling so straight forward again for better clarification. Sadly I don't have any of those ships so no effect on me though I want that Hur'q Ravager & I fear it will increase in price even more now lol.
The last patch notes were pretty good & those were right before Cryptic's shindig in Vegas & now this is pretty good too, imo. Nicely done, Cryptic. Now please release some synopsis of your Las Vegas trip maybe?
They did update lower class ships with regards to Hangers, because lower class ships have... hangers.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'

And I have ALL OF THEM, every Orion ship and Elite versions of every Orion Pet. See the problem with Orion ships is each came with a unique hangar bay pet + Orion Slavers as an option, but Orion ships could only ever use 1 of them at a time which is frustrating. Seriously there are Orion Armoured Maruading Assault Shuttles, Orion Interceptors Fighters, Orion Taychon Drones, Orion Slavers, and Orion Cutpurse Fighters.

That could just be an error that the paradox is not mentioned.

Good catch, the Wellsshould be added to that list, itsan important one too because it's canon .
However, the distinction between "carriers" and "flight-deck carriers" seems a bit weird, given that the renaming is supposed to clarify what type of ships they are. Why not something simple, like "engineering carriers", similar to how there are "science dreadnoughts"?
Now.. most of these changes seem pretty good, there is only one thing dissapointing to me..
The Command Battlecruisers should be part of this change in my opinion. They're already obsolete and left in the dust, adding a second hangar bay to something like the Presidio could give it a new life and help it fit better with the current generation of ships. It's a shame to not see these changes applied to these ships.. they could really use something to breathe some life back into them.
They could call the mainline carriers like Obelisk and the Orion peanut just "carriers", the heavy mixed cruiser/dread carriers "strike carriers", the escorts with a flight deck "escort carriers". Science oriented carriers could be called "support carriers".
No it doesn't. Specialist seating is not required to make a good build. It's only another flavour.
i'm happy to see my ships losing the carrier stuff, personally I don't use pets or I forget that I can use them. so for me, this modification is great:
8 weapons, 1 hangar = Flight-Deck Dreadnought
8 weapons, 2 hangars = Dreadnought Carrier
7 weapons, 1 exp. weapon, no hangar = Heavy Escort
7 weapons, 1 exp. weapon, 1 hangar = Flight-Deck Escort
7 weapons, 1 exp. weapon, 2 hangars = Escort Carrier
6 weapons, secondary deflector, no hangar = Science Dreadnought
6 weapons, secondary deflector, 1 hangar = Flight-Deck Science Vessel
6 weapons, secondary deflector, 2 hangars = Science Carrier
...or something like that. Flight-Deck Carrier sounds a lot like Science-Deck Research Vessel.
