I got this notification but there's no video, what's that about?

#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
It looks like it has a Red Matter torpedo that generates a minature black hole. Hopefully, it is not a Promo Box ship.
As if there is not enough spinning with that thing already...
Why? The cockpit is in the fixed ball in the movie, that hammerhead part spins around it just like the engines spin around that that axel that sticks out from behind the ball. I imagine seeing the edge of the hammerhead spinning from the "bridge" might get a bit annoying after a while though. It looks like the silly offspring of a TIE fighter and a B-Wing but it could be based on the same kind of "fast dynamic warp" tech that the Orion Intruder class uses since the remastered stuff came out.
It would make a good fast non-pilot ship with a built-in sector speed advantage on the side or whatever, or maybe even a sci-pilot one (though they have been hitting the pilot ships trough a lot lately). Also, it seems like all the weird torque effects would make it a bad candidate for a pilot ship.
Hopefully it is not a lockbox ship, I heard rumor's it is supposed to be the anniversary ship like the Vulcan science one last year but rumors are not exactly reliable.
If it was an R&D gamblebox that'd be a nail in the coffin for the dilexchange's hopes of recovering.
One thought is that it might get put into the muggs market, maybe as a shuttlecraft though likely full ship as shuttle content is very few and far between.
It is not going to be the anniversary ship since the roadmap stated the Jellyfish would come out in December not January or February. As a C-Store ship or part of the Mudd's Market would be far more preferable than the R&D Promo Pack or Lockbox.
If it is introduced by Promo then "let them eat cake" & I won't have much interest unless Cryptic has upped their criteria for being a Promo ship compared to the last (Franklin). It would be nice to see in the C-Store but I don't see them releasing just 1 ship for C-Store although it has happened in the past, I just don't see it as efficient. I think the probability is Lobi, Mudd's, or lock box.
Good vid on this soon to be ship & it looks like a darn nice little ship, but I'll await stats & Cryptic's delivery method.
Unless Cryptic plans to have a nice cyber-Mon sale I was disappointed in this year's black-Fri sale again. Kudos to Cryptic for going beyond -25% on a few things, but not all so lackluster for a black-Fri sale overall. I didn't mind the staggering of the sales as they did, it had decent pacing. Expansion packs didn't even have a deeper discount pass -25% & this is suppose to be the biggest sale of the year?

Well, in my own "Goddesses" cannon, Cassy's ship, the Hoagland, is similar.
I just got a bad feeling about this.....is this gonna be ANOTHER RD box? The promo ship horders/scalpers are probably licking their lips at another opportunity for billions of EC. >_>;;
To nitpick, the term miniature black hole is nonsense. Black holes are utterly tiny things by virtue of the strength of the gravity collapsing things that could be comprised of the mass of ten suns (usually far more) into an object the size of a basketball.
However, the force from something so tiny is the same kind of gravity you get from that much mass in a star form. It is ludicrous to see Romulan warships implode in STO, yet the uncontained singularity has no effects on the rest of the ships in the map. If they were actually black holes that generated that kind of gravitational force to fully implode a Romulan ship, then you should have map-wide effects not unlike the Gravity Kills STF. Yet they also evaporate in seconds so they couldn't have been very massive at all, and could never actually be proper black holes.
Some people might remember there was some silly hysteria back in the day regarding the CERN collider and nonsensical fears of it creating a black hole. Not only is that absurd, its impossible. There is not enough mass in the entire solar system, much less our own planet, and certainly not the collisions of two subatomic particles, to create a black hole. A hypothetical singularity created from collided particles could pass through anyone with zero ill effects, because the gravitational force of such a singularity would be far less than the gravitational force of a cell in your body, which is far too small to do anything itself.
Seriously?
There was a theory that micro black holes could form on a scale that was small enough to sustain itself for brief periods if matter was present but really we have little beyond mathematical models which as we've discovered only last until the next big practical observation which turns everything around again.
Safe to say that since it is described as an artificial singularity (and it is very different since it gave that one species fits when they put their young in it) that there is some way they artificially maintain a small enough singularity that it would self collapse. Maybe what we see when the ship implodes is the burst of the singularity momentarily going out of control before imploding.
About as easy to handwave as some of the other issues from the previous series, and less annoying than magic mushroom drive.
Didn't even bother looking at the stats otherwise. I did the grinding for T6 Connie, because that ship was worth it. A billion-plus EC for Jellyfish? Nope. Just nope.
The jellyfish is the new promo and the freedom is being added to 'chose your ship' promo box. Same thing they always do basically. New one is added last one is moved to the infinity style box.
Same here. Second time in a row I can savely pass.
Glad that not everything in this game is about DPS, saves me a lot of EC.
Thumbs up Cryptic, way to go!

Technically the Romulan powerplants are not 'black holes', they are zero point quantum singularities (more or less a crude form of a Stargate ZPM) which is a quantum distortion, not a huge supercompressed mass though they both have similar effects when containment breaks down. They cannot last long in normal space though so they pop like soapbubbles as the infinitesimal knot in the quantum membrane straightens itself out in the absence of the chamber.
And yes, it is wonky sideways science but that is typical for Hollywood since most writers are not physicists and tend to misinterpret the popular explanations of theories.
Read that and first reaction was I F'ing knew it. Put even more pressure on the dilex and encourage folk to waste money on R&D boxes that have pretty much zero value due to the volume of materials folk already get via endeavours and the endless tfo event system.
R&D packs are worthless (unlike lock boxes) and you must open (on average) 100 packs to get one ship, so the pack ships sell for 1.3 billion EC on PC.
Honestly not a good sign.
