I caved and got myself a lightbulb ship - It might not be the most competitive ship, but damn if it isn't the cutest little thing I have ever seen in ST:O. http://sto.gamepedia.com/Fleet_Research_Science_Vessel_Retrofit https://trekazoid.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/federation_research_science_vessel_horizon.png
Got one last ship I am considering. The Fleet Research Science Vessel Retrofit - Would that be a complete waste of money to buy at this point? As far as I can tell I'd have to buy 4 ship modules and an upgrade token, so... 2700z plus fleet marks. That spherical hull on the Horizon variant is just beyond hilarious - Reminds…
How do these giveaways work exactly? Does everyone who's logged in automatically receive loot out of thin air? Can you log on later that day if it suits your timezone poorly and still get stuff? I am surprised at how little information is actually included in the announcement for us mere mortal newbies.
The weapons setup is mostly leftovers from my Steamrunner while I was leveling before the Breen ships arrived - I'll definitely want to commit to exotic damage if I end up getting a Sci ship.

Even if the Intel and Cloak abilities are nice. The Nebula... Actually... I initially didn't consider them because the "neck" less ships looked odd - But the…
My playstyle? You know I am actually not sure yet - I haven't had the chance to play a lot on my Science Officer. Right now I am flying around in the Breen Warship (to avoid being lured in by the Breen Carrier's frigate pets) filled to the brim with heavy dual cannons and turrets - no torpedo atm. I've been switching…
Or at least a confirmation that they are going to retro-actively offer them to anyone affected if it isn't fixed by the end of Wonderland. I for one would like to get the frigate pets for my carrier after running the race over 75 times this Christmas alone as a new player to get all three ships...
(Since I'm not allowed to make my own thread yet - Here's a semi-related issue I hope someone can help me fix - or at least point me in the right direction) I keep getting this odd "see through walls" glitch where particle effects like engine cores (on stations) and monitors will show through the walls - or even start…
