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.

Also command specialization has never been my favorite.
HOWEVER, I have to say, this has got to be one of the most ugly ships I have seen from STO for a long time. STO's earlier 25th century design aesthetic has always been rather not good. Though, it did improve over time especially the surface materals with balance between the grey and dark areas that actually look pretty ok on canon ships. Not to mention the 25th century interpretation of canon designs, basically upgraded but following the same lines, look pretty great. But I am really surprised this ever left the drawing board. It to me looks like a low effort sickening kitbash that wouldn't even make it as one of the background ships at Wolf 359 or the Qualor II Federation Depo.
I thought the idea was for innovative cross-faction designs evolving from the best of Federation and Klingon technologies.. Of course this is obviously supposed to, at least design wise be an interpretation of 25th century Crossfield-class ship. So they can keep doing Discovery but call it new 25th century content. Sorry but I am just not in any way impressed by a D7 drive section attached to saucer.
There was a reason Andrew Probert's 70s design didn't pan out and it was kinda silly to use it for Discovery.. BUT there was SOME effort to make it seem like it COULD be a one-off Federation Starship albeit not a very good one. This, skin aside, is worse than that.
I am not mad so much as I am disappointed because, assuming the majority of staff are still there since Victory of Life, I know that you guys can do SO MUCH BETTER than this.
And it's far better than the pizza cutter we did get. >_>;
Too aggressive looking. The round saucer looks far less aggressive, and that's good.
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

Hopefully we can modify the layout of the ship to accommodate this.
Also hopefully we can opt for various alliance skins/color schemes.
Still not sold on the command specialization.
Well remember... Kael DID say we wouldn't be seeing any romulan designs till mid-year....
I haven't seen a 10 forward in a while, I've lost a lot of interest in STO when they decided to practically dump the Romulans. I catch bits and pieces here and there like this ship being announced and like I said I am genuinely appreciative in them not hiding behind some.. little fluffy BS, maybe saying well the Roms designed the back spoiler or something.
It's better to just be honest about choices they make instead of pretending something is holding them back like with Disco
I'll probably pay more attention as Picard is airing since it has the possibility of adding new Rom ships
Hey hey.. we where going through our edgey phase ok?
The new material looks really good. Despite that, I still kinda want the other standard FED/KDF materials (at least the better ones, like Type 0/6/7/8 for Fed and Type 4 for Klingons).
Let's just blame that on Spike envy.
I'm hoping for a lot of customization options (nacelles up, various faction skins etc) since the design shown in the pictures doesn't really tickle my fancy.
It looks like a KDF Qib, with Fed Saucer, Fed Painting and Fed colors on all light sources including the Nascelles. I think due to the aerodynamic design of KDF ship bodies a more pointy saucer like voyagers would had fit better. It will take a bit to get used to but overall, it does look fairly good

However I'm going to reserve full judgement until I can see more angles, probably when I actually get it because Free is Free.
What I would like even more, is a ship incorporating design elements of all the alliance members (and maybe even the dominion or cardassians).
I'm also curious about the usable hull materials and the interchangeability of parts from the anniversary megabundle (if there will be one).
