I'd consider an insult to the cat to put her in a ship that ugly, but that's entirely on the Disco team.
The seating does make me sick though.
Not looking like that it couldn't. They can take their space boomerang and put it somewhere uncomfortable. Why the heck is cryptic releasing wave after wave of ships that nobody has ever asked for?
That said, kudos to the team for managing to implement this shape-shifting monstrosity. I don't even want to know how much of a nightmare it was to get everything working for this thing.
Ship itself seems pretty.. decent. It reminds me a bit of the Elachi Qulash - with pilot maneuvers and battlecloaking(did it ever using cloak during combat?). Always nice to see more pilot maneuver ships that aren't tactical-centric.
(judging by that bridge window, it also seems really small. Like "a bit bigger than a runabout" small. Or do 32nd century ships also have TARDIS-like space expansion inside, to allow for actual rooms beyond the bridge?)
I don't particularly care for DSC ships either, particularly these generic season 3 ships, but that doesn't mean no one was asking for them. Every ship has its fans, even the bizarrely mismatched Intrepid/Maquis kitbash.
I hope those who do want and get this ship enjoy it, though.
They haven't, because it ain't true but they can't say it. This ship is for those with FOMO and the collectors that have to have absolutely everything that get in the game.
Same as with every other "number", as is usual in this business, the customers - because some white knights on these forums still need to understand that we're not only players, but customers too - are kept in the dark.
Their "metrics" says whatever they want them to say, because no one will ever see them. Doesn't mean we cannot call them out on their TRIBBLE though.
As for the ship, it just goes on the pile of "stuff that I'd never want in a million years".
Not only it's ugly, it's a poor mix of Hugh's ship and the B-Wing with weird Transformer "capabilities". Waste of time to develop. Waste of money trying to get it.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
Considering it's one of the hero ships for season 3, this one most likely DID have demand. I myself like it enough that I'd buy it right away if it was C-Store (I never expected it to be there just to be clear), but I don't like it enough to pay the lockbox ship price for it.
They only kind of hint at things like this, I don't believe they are actually allowed to reveal any real sales data. I suspect though that the New Orleans could be a ship that people asked for but didn't sell well.
It is small, in fact it fits inside Discovery's shuttle bay. It's Book's personal ship, not a military vessel.
A shame it isn't Lobi at least, it's definitely not Infinity Box valuable. Then again, maybe it'll make Mudd's early alongside the Jovian; as a "Mudd's Light and Transformable Discovery Bundle".
Despite the look of the secondary hull the Yeager is not an "Intrepid/Maquis kitbash". They use the same model for several considerably different sized ships. The Maquis ship was a converted courier, the Yeager secondary hull was from a freighter you only glimpse for a second at the end of a communication, and some people like the idea of the Yeager being a military ship hurried along in construction by the use of a freighter as a secondary hull (and if you can get around the fact that they also used that model for other ships of different sizes like the raider it actually looks rather good).
You wouldn't believe some of the crazy ships the military built out of civilian hulls during crunch of WWII, including a side-wheeler aircraft carrier for use as a training ship:
There were a lot of oceangoing warships with civilian hulls too, like the British Flower-class frigates, most of the US subchasers, and a lot of escort carriers.
They problem is, Cryptic wants to see what ships can do in the show first, before bringing them into the game (though the Janeway class seems to be an exception from that rule). Not much is known about 32nd century Starfleet ships and their abilities yet. Book's frigate was featured prominently in season 3 which is why they are releasing it now.
It probably means the Janeway cannot do anything special and CBS told them it doesn't.
Am I going crazy or is the other thread missing/deleted?
Unfortunately it blends in with the interior of the dock too much so a lot of people don't even notice it is there so it is mostly a waste of display space.
As for Booker's ship, I wonder why they are calling it a 'frigate' when it is not much more than a runabout with an uncrewed wing shaped thing stuck on one side. Personally I wouldn't even call it a corvette, especially since it is not supposed to be a military ship in the first place.
Well I agree but there's precedent. The Jellyfish from the 2009 Star Trek movie was a one-person shuttle, even smaller then Booker's ship. Its size was increased and it was introduced into the game as a full blown science vessel with crew, generic starship interior and all.
Personally, I'm not bothered by such inconsistencies anymore. Not with 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 29th and 32nd century vessels from all corners of the galaxy flying happily side by side, and being evenly matched. It is what it is.
