Why do I get an error 404 saying they can't find the webpage when I try the link?

corerunner · July 25

Can we please have a 24th century version of the Premonition closer to the game as the original was an emergency built time ship and while the new one is fine I'd like the option for the game as the original was built in a time where federation design stagnated thanks to the Borg invasion. Also like the Legendary Scimitar could we have an Assimilated hull material for the Borg campaign version.

Isn't that just a matter of headcanon? You can imagine the Premonition being built more recently. Not every FED ship needs to be shifting over to newer patterns of hulls and nacelles, and the Federation is a gigantic entity that you would expect to practice heterogeneous ship building programs to meet Starfleet's needs. It doesn't require (for example) Gagarin-style nacelles to imagine this being produced in 2412, especially if the focus of the ship isn't on the bleed edge of regular service operations. It can thus can get away with using older nacelle patterns (as a proven, robust design choice giving overhead to the project) when the design focus is on some *other aspect* of the ship.

You get the most out of the Trek universe if you don't assume constant Lemarkian progress in the evolution of designs and embrace historical/Darwinian patterns of messiness in the progression from one ship to another (see. real navies). The sense that created the Premonition out of the Sovereign's overall design applies across universes. It just came with more stress in the original and more economy here.

The original Premonition prototype was built in 2376 as an emergency ship. Having a skin based on say Luna and Sovereign refit parts as opposed to the new STO Sovereign and Vesta style wouldn't be that bad as an alternate hull. Especially when in the article for its description it's called a Copy. I'm all for having a design based on the concept but most people know of the final product version. I'm not saying remove the new hull either.

I do not know its a problem that happens a lot since they moved almost everything from the arcgames.com site to the playstartreckonline site, I also get a lot of endless trying to load or are you a robot screens if I am not logged into arcgames.com site before i click on links to the playstartreck site.

Also does not help that it logs you out if not totally atleast sow it shows you not logged in until you click the login bit.

It also took 6 goes trying to log into the playstartreck site and it was only when i used the refresh buitton at the top of the browser it finally showed me as logged in.

I never had any of these problems when they used the arcgames site for everything.

Much as I'd love to buy this, I can't: In game, through the Arc launcher, and arcgames.com, I am unable to buy Zen. All I get is a big blank screen, and that's on multiple machines and browsers.

Two of these ships look ever-so-familiar...

Not because they come from prior games, but because they closely resemble existing designs.

So, I ask:

Why is the Premonition not built to utilise the same space-frame as the Luna/Titan?
It mostly shares the overall base shape. Have we missed a kit-bashing opportunity?
Similarly, but to a slightly lesser extent, the Achilles looks like it should share the same frame as the Emissary/Sentinel/Vanguard/Justiciar.
Did we miss a kit-bashing opportunity here as well?

For a number of days links posted here on the forum and X are producing 404 errors, not loading, or taking multiple attempts to load, the same when wishing to purchase zen. It was brought to their attention on X but looks like a resolution has not been found yet or it is going ignored.

@baddmoonrizin can you look into this please as many are having the issue.

They are aware of the issues and are working on it. Thank you.

I'm more for giving the ships a 2409 and their original style design. The Premonition needs it's 2376 prototype form( keeping the engine trails in the spots the new skin has) you can get the look by mixing Sovereign refit and Luna class design styles, the Achilles could be based on the new T6 starcruiser and the Protostar, the Typhon could have a newer form based on its STO big brother the Jupiter but more armored in appearance.

Funny yall should mention this Bundle since theres a Varient of the Typhon which i think would fit well with that ship in this Bundle which i once searched up on Google that has quite a fan made reputation. Tell me how many of you here on this fourm have heard of a Carrier varient named after the Valkyrie fighters themselves This varient is called the Valkyrie class 6 nacelled Mobile command carrier This varient of the Typhon is slightly inches larger and has a few resemblances and similarities to the original Typhon Carrier with some aditional differences #1 the aditions of a Definant Class escort as well as rear mounted hanger bays. but Im also imagining that this Typhon class Valkyrier varient would also share the same Fortress mode universial console as its Typhon counterpart too.

THE HERITAGE STARSHIP BUNDLE!
