U.S.S. Vengeance Model Update

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
On the launcher I saw a notice of the 'U.S.S. Vengeance Model Update' and clicked on the link to open that page. Now I personally am not a fan of the Dreadnought skin. I always felt it had a texture that appeared to have been created by a sullen child with a half dried paintbrush. So I was really happy to hear about this update.

Then at the bottom of the page it says: " If you already own one and wish to see these updates on your ship, simply set it as your active starship, go to the Starship Customization screen and select the "Dreadnought" option from the list on the left." So I followed those instructions and... it was the same old crappy texture. Seriously, I wish you'd just tell us when things are planned for the future and not lead us on that way. It's unprofessional.

    They kinda did, as they said this was because of the upcoming lockbox. That implies that it will go live when the new Kelvin Lockbox drops.

    "For the upcoming Season 18 Kelvin lockbox, Lead Ship Artist Thomas Marrone and I decided to take a look at our existing Kelvin-Timeline ships to see if there was anything that needed a visual upgrade to match the quality of the newer ships that will be included in the bundle."

    It's says so at the begining of the text!... upcoming!... not released yet... i want the upgrade too, but really, it says that on the text..

    Like I said, I appreciate them updating details like this, and I don't mind waiting for it to happen.

    Then Donny Versiga says, on this page >> Vengeance Update, that we could check it out "Now". He's a 'staff ship artist', and I like what he's doing, but he's obviously not in the loop about when this will go live. A detail which some Editor should have caught before that page published.

    Client side changes often can't go live without a patch, but yes adding a date or catching the word "now" would improve the news post.

    Actually... you CAN check it out now... on Tribble. So technically it isn't a lie. While it is not available to Holodeck yet, anyone with access to Tribble can check it out.

    I'm hoping the Kelvin Connie also got some love too.

    lol.. whatever guys.. the OP is right, the post was ambiguous and you know it. We're just all so used to this type of thing from Cryptic that we have moved past accepting it and even on to defending it.

    If you don't read forums or Reddit and you just go by the launcher, it does look like it should be available now. Is this a huge issue? No.. it's not, but it's another one of those small annoyances that is just so easily avoided by putting a 'Coming Soon!' banner over it or something similar.

    Just because it's available on Tribble is does not mean it's currently available and we all know it. The majority of the player base doesn't even know what the tribble server is. :D

    Insert witty signature line here.

    I never cared for the design of this ship honestly.

    Although it's not the topic of the thread, I agree. It looks, to me, ridiculously out of place even in the Kelvin Timeline. But I'm in general not fond of supersizing everything to make it "more dangerous/powerful".

    Laughing my butt off at these comments bemoaning the supposed lacking quality of the Kelvin timeline ships.....

    Yeah, you poor snowflakes...

    Guess we need a Nova-lockbox for that to happen :/
