Today people should start getting their hands on the Elachi Qulash frigate without having to use the buyout.

So what are your first impressions on this latest event ship?
For me it's sturdy, but at first it was a bit getting used to since i expected a higher turn rate for a ship that size.
LtC Intel is useful, but access to SS3 would have been awesome.
Downsides are that the console still uses the Undine visuals https://sto.gamepedia.com/Console_-_Universal_-_Fluidic_Phase_Decoupler and a lack of a fleet variant is also a (temporary) stain.
I do not think this ship will break DPS records, but it can provide a good ship for advanced content.
Opinions folks?

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

After a quick count, 11 consoles. Yeah i guess it's at fleet level already. Was kind of hoping for a Commander level Intel.
The other positive is that it's account-claimable.
It sliced through the patrols before I leveled it - the mastery traits are fine for this class of ship (you can't expect the cruiser mastery). Seating is completely flexible and 5/3 gives it some punch.
I have to be honest, since the Beam Overload change, I prefer it (in practice) over Surgical Strikes. Easier to slot and hits twice as hard per slot rank. (It even sounds cooler when you light something up with BO, compared to the normal sounds of SS.)
As for the ship itself, I won't have it for a couple days yet, but on paper it looks like a slightly squishier Arbiter that otherwise surpasses it in every other category. I am a little surprised it doesn't have the high shield modifier that every other Elachi ship does though. With how much I adore the Elachi ships and bridge, I imagine I'll be getting a lot of 'screen time' out of the Qulash as well.. whenever I can pull myself away from my current experimental builds.
Some statements regarding the rework of the event-system make it seem like points are supposed to carry over in order to complete them later. Not 100% sure if this is already in place though.

I believe Elachi weapons have a chance at full shield pen.

Ok... chance to ignore shields and have armor pen.

They should be at least quite decent. Given that their popularity was quite some time ago, not sure if under current game mechanics and the way things work and proc where they will land in the scheme of things as compared to a good set of crafted disruptors. Perhaps somebody will be able to comment further.
Upgrade costs will be considerable if you're starting at Mk 12. Perhaps I should have claimed the ship and weapons on a level 10 toon at Mk II?
Possible /hindsight /facepalm on my part...
Iff they come as level-scaled and not always mk12, that is.
It is almost identical to the KDF QeHpu. IF you have one you really don't need the other.
It seems the ship does scale but the elachi weapon pack is level appropriate (going by the news releases).
2.5% Chance: +50 Armor Penetration and 100% Shield Penetration versus 2.5% Chance: -10 All Damage Resistance for 15 sec for standard disruptors.
Procs are per cycle except under BFAW which was a bug that got fixed in S13. Could it be that procs between weapon sub-types work, but are more of a choose your animation thing at this point aside from at a 'very high end' perspective i.e. spiral waves?
I'm looking how they're similar. 5/3 vs 4/4, Intel vs pilot, no cloak vs cloak, Different console layout.. etc.
They're about as similar as a cat and dog.
Well, they all have four legs at least (even the new ship) which is something in common I suppose
As for the weapons from the box you get along with the ship (or rather with the first ship only), they definitely come out as the level needed by the character who unpacks them. I made a new character specially for that ship who is currently level 13 and got Mk IV weapons out of it.
*edit*
So there is a "reclaim" button in the Events tab in the Missions window. The Qulash is visible there, along with other ships visible in the "account reward claim" list in the reputation events store tab, but the Elachi ship isn't visible with all the other ships in the rep store, because reasons....
The most recent Risa Racer isn't. Spending a fleet module gives you a fleet level pilot ship.
