Speculation on next C-Store ship/ships

khaniris#5451 khaniris Member Posts: 34 Arc User
I really hope that we manage to get more Khitomer Alliance Fleet Service ships, but what kind of hybrid ships would we get?

I personally kind of hope for a Romulan/Klingon ship, but that's just me.

    Personally, I hope we never get another hybrid alliance ship again. I prefer the factions/fractions having more unique features with less overlap. However, this is in conflict with the state of the game and the current trend towards homogenization. I wouldn't be surprised if we did see future hybrid alliance ships. Romulan/Klingon is a possibility as is Federation/Romulan. Since the first ship was a battle cruiser, the second ship may be a carrier, dreadnought or escort. Or even less likely, a science ship.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    That is a fair point, but it is also in the lore of the game as well when it comes to the formation of the Galactic Union.

    The ship is a hybrid of ALL the factions, i.e. Fed, Klink, Rom AND JH, not just Fed and Klink.

    I think this Aliiance Fleet thing will be the theme for the next series of episodes so I can see the range of ships expanded. I'm not entirely against it. The game has to progress forward somehow.

    Might also cut down on the number of ships they have to make for megabundles.
    I still see individual faction ships being made, and 1 per faction bundles, but I think the days of 9 ship megabundles (12 now with Jem'Hadar) is over. Takes a lot of work to design the same ship for 4 factions already. Multiplying that by 4...

    We haven't had a megabundle for quite a while. And I'm not counting the Legendary that is coming out as that isn't a crossfaction like say the flagships or multi-mission science.

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    Mega-bundles usually come out for either new expansions or the introduction of a new primary specialization. We're due for a new expansion this summer so if we get one that's when I'd expect to see the next megabundle. Maybe we'll get a Cooperative "faction" and a bunch of Borg ships?

    Hybrid of ALL the factions you say?

    Where's the Romulan influence? It sure as hell isn't in the core, since it's not using a singularity core for the power plant that's prevalent of a WARBIRD. Singularity powers? Nope, not without a singularity core. So that Romulan/Reman gimmick is out the window. Oh wait...the Romulan influence is hidden, by means of a Romulan Battle Cloak on something separate from the ship. *gasp* You can't see it, but it's there, we promise! Maybe it's a sneaky Tovan Khev, waiting for you to claim the ship so that he can move in and make his residence on your couch.

    Where's the Dominion influence? Is there a Vorta bridge officer thrown in the package? Wingman gimmick? Maybe complimentary beer can helmets for the crew that pump out "Ketracel White" from a sippy straw?

    I don't believe that there's a Dominion or Romulan bridge, so where's the purple or green guiding hand in all of this? It's a Starfleet ship with a Qib rump. And it was designed to be a spacebar mashing BFaW beam array boat with that low base turnrate. As though whoever designed it, had Starfleet on the brain. Cloaking device? Found on all Klingon battlecruisers starting with the humble K'tanco all the way to the latest T6 Klingon battlecruiser. DHC/DC mounting? Klingon battlecruiser staple.

    There's enough geometric shapes (symmetrical and asymmetrical) for Cryptic to create new Borg ships for the Cooperative (like D&D dice: d4, d8, d10, d12, d20) :)

    My bet is an Alliance escort and dread at some point, maybe a carrier.

    As BoP is the only thing the KDF has that's unique I am certain some kind of Alliance BoP will be released so feds can have everything.

    Feds already have access to a cross-faction BoP. The Batman popsicle temporal raider ship. Comes in the same bundle as the "Wells with a Weight Problem" temporal dreadnought ship, aka the Chronos.

    Next ships will be more feddie bear ships...with maybe something for the KDF. And Roms and Doms not getting squat...again.

    All those opportunities for a T6 Ha'feh, or T6 Ha'nom, just pissed away. Or a Romulan D-7. Or a Romulan T6 carrier in the zen store. Or giving the Dominion a T5-U LTS/veteran heavy destroyer, or an LTS/veteran shuttlecraft.

    There are still a few EssTeeDee ships missing from the Klingon side. From the show episode "Battle at the BS." Such as the bortaS bir.

    Hmm I wouldn't mind a cleave ship with some bonus a that stacks with ramming speed

    My personal desire for a hypothetical Cooperative faction is that they only get the five canon designs of probe, sphere, diamond, cube, and tactical cube, but to acknowledge the borg's ability to adapt to any situation have every seat be universal, including borg exclusive lt cmdr universal spec seats. And that should be it for actual borg ships, beyond that Cooperative should have access to the assimilated shield, deflector, and engine visuals on all non-borg ships directly from the customization screen without acquiring the gear from the Omega rep.
