I too am very happy this is the new luckbox ship

As usual, the ship art team has done a stellar job, but that design they were given to work with is terrible.

Or the Mon Calamari from long, long ago in a galaxy far away...
Mon Cal ships are better looking.
And I am beginning to think that whoever's designing them and also signing off on them, have some very bizarre fetishes.
From the exhaust trails I would assume that it travels with the long narrower end forward, not that it makes it look much better than if it went the reverse of that (some things just don't look good no matter which way you look at it and that design is unfortunately one of them, though it is an improvement over the last DSC S3 monstrosity that came out in the game).

Well they are in luckboxes, so good luck!

Ugh.
edit: but yeah, it's not Cryptic's fault. They're stuck with whatever drek CBS shoves into the shows.
And Cryptic's ship guys actually do a great job recreating those ships. They can't be blamed for the designs, but that still doesn't make them look any better

The Fed bridge design was cool, but the Klingon ships and future ships are not my cup of tea at all.
This is good news for any fans of them though, I'm happy for them getting ships they want and supporting the game with their gamble box purchases.
The only tiny regret I have is the livestream thread shows the STO team did a great job on implementing the ship with new firing animations, experimental weapon, etc. -- I'd like to see that on a ship design that I actually like.

> The only ones from DSCs3 that look even remotely good (to me, purely subjective) are the ones that are clearly based on the the classis ships like the Connie and Intrepid.
Have we seen a 32nd century cruiser of Connie lineage? Because I would save up for that...
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.

It was not seen clearly on screen but this is from a book Eaglemoss made after they got the rights to make the model from CBS:
I'm not saying I love it, and probably wouldn't even buy it when it's added to the game. I'm just saying it and the Intrepid are the best looking of the 32nd century ships, IMO.

Pretty much that. These designs are not at all on Cryptic and the Trek license does come with some baggage that being the case. It's just that we are in an era where the folks in creative control of the television broadcasts do not at all seem to like anything about the older Trek shows, lore, universe or really anything recognizable that can be identified with Star Trek? They prefer to chart their own course, which would be fine, well at least if they hadn't saddled us with a mutineer as lead character. Burnham can go suck one!
