true, but they always have the option to delay something before its release. They chose to not delay this, and release it at possibly the worst time ever conceived for making tons of cash.
An ugly blob.
Stats seem powerful for raider on first glance, to be expected as promo ship, business as usual.
Traits and console could allow for an alternative to photonic officer.
Another ship in RnD box wont be getting with the terrible drop rate. just like the locked boxes went thru 200 keys just to get 1 t6 ship. dont even bother save your money
You do not need to open lockboxes. Instead you can buy the ship you want on the exchange if it is available.
True, but that defeats the object of gamble boxes and thats precisely the point mentioned here - they're a tired old cash cow idea and heavily unfavourable.
Life is not always favorable either. I disagree they are a tired old cash cow idea.

they are? - i suppose that RnD condolence prizes and lobi crystals stacking up is a bonus but since everything is available cash in hand on the exchange, it defeats the point of these boxes. Not to mention the free 1000 lobis round the corner which further defeats the purpose of these hideous boxes. This makes accessing the La Sirena much more difficult that it needs to be.
No mention one way or the other in the announcement whether or not any faction can fly it.

A hard and expensive to acquire, unusually ugly hero ship that does not fit the overall Trek design conventions and looks more Elachi than Federation, from a so-so series made obscure by only being offered on an obscure little streaming service behind a paywall? Definite pass on this one
Hey Picard is Romulan focused so all you Romulan fans should wait for the ships from that show.
First ship from the series is a promo box...and not Romulan. Shocker...said nobody from the Romulan faction.
Well it IS the HERO ship. What did you expect for the first ship release?
Considering I never believed any of you all saying just wait for it...nothing really. Just pointing out...still no Romulan stuff...from a series you all claim has a lot of Romulan stuff for them to add to this game. Like ANYTHING none feddie bear...I will believe it when I see it. So I'll gladly tell ya that you were right about all the glorious Romulan stuff to come from the show in this game when we see it. All the Romulan ground weapons and costumes...all the ships in the c-store (because if the Micheal Burnham show ships gets placed there, this one should too...some can be otherwise of course...but the majority should be c-store). All the storylines about it. All the voice actors. But I don't see anything...or them even HINTING at any of this as we are moving along to the Micheal Burnham show tie in again. Not that I have anything against the KDF getting some love...assuming they do...because once again...believe it when I see it.
I remember when they first made the change to Romulans that they can use allied faction ships. You, me and a few others were quick to point out that this likely meant the end of the development of Romulan ships and we were quickly shouted down because the devs 'promised' that wouldn't happen.
I would like to say 'who's laughing now?' but sadly the answer is.. no one. I am still holding out some hope for a C-Store Romulan ship release at some point, but as the months go by I am definitely not holding my breath. A C-Store Romulan ship would have generated far more interest from me then this.. whatever. The 'La Sirena' was just some random ship in Picard that no one cared about. I have watched the entire season twice and I didn't even know the name of the ship before this was released..
Don't count on any new romulan ships in the c-store. If anything it is going to be a Zhat Vash lockbox where the grand prize is a single romulan ship. Also, they won't add any new ships to the Lobi store, just ground equipment. If I was a gambler, I would put money on this being correct.
No mention one way or the other in the announcement whether or not any faction can fly it.
"We're going to give the Klingon players some luv. Just not quite yet!"
They've yet to do a Promo ship that can only be used by only one faction, and considering this ship isn't part of Star Fleet, it's a fair assumption that it's not Star Fleet only.

No, they have done it. The Mirror Crossfield is fed only. Klingons have to get the gear from a lobi pack

Well, not one faction since Cryptic has homogenized the factions somewhat, but probably have to be Fed-aligned for Roms & Doms.
I thought only Fed-aligned could pilot: Sect 31 Comm Heavy BC, Mirror Crossfield, & that Freedom-class Frigate.
I could easily see Cryptic making La Sirena Fed-aligned only too.

Yeah I think all 3 of those are Fed or Fed Aligned only

*shrugs shoulders* I wouldn't waste a promo ship for the Mirror Crossfield, so I wouldn't know about that.
It's a cool ship. You can even get a look a the bridge (but no actual bridge interior to visit).
Still need to figure out how I can boost EPG further so I can make a Gravity Well / Scatter Volley build. Having Dual Commanders is unusual.

I do that with my Maquis raider with just GW1. It works, but its not as good in either area as either type of build focused on one or the other. It is a lot more fun and interesting though.

Yeah - that's what concerns me. Although this ship could probably throw science powers around pretty well, it doesn't have a secondary deflector and it just feels more tactical-orientated.
And I don't really want to be a Sci char pretending to be a Tac char.
I've long since gotten over maximal efficiency in a build since I avoid fleet stuff. I don't feel the need to fill my console slots with the relevant fleet console because I can't. That, as you can imagine, severely hampers science builds most of all, yet I do them anyway and still get perfectly viable results for advanced difficulty. They also tend to be cheap because I have to get a number of consoles from missions/reps and cheapish consoles from the market. They may not be optimal, but this game doesn't need optimal if you aren't doing elites.
Well, power is a key thing to work out in a hybrid build. It isn't easy, but it is possible to get it pretty good to both weapons and aux.
Unless you play on console where it is not possible to have custom power levels, only the 4 "standard" settings.
I have no idea why anyone plays on consoles, reason #1029. But if that's true, how does anyone do a science ship? There is no standard power to aux setting, as you have weapons, shields, engines, and balanced.

Hard pass as it is a promo and STP related.
Not interested.
Loved the show.. but this does nothing for me.

There is no assault on the franchise.

It sounds like he thought that STO was an assault on Star Trek.
*shrugs shoulders*
I had hoped more of the ship was going to take a bigger part in the show myself & more of it revealed, it was mostly just a space-taxi.
