Yeah, to be fair I would love to be wrong in this case.
Sadly, I'm absolutely convinced that it'll be something else - it always is. The Devs have never failed to disappoint where the Nova is concerned.
Well, in the Steamrunner's case Kael did at least say that would be later this year.
The Oberth is another matter though, and that 11:59pm on April Fool's day thing could be considered more a 'teaser' than a reveal.
Guess we'll have to wait and se…
Again, whilst I guess its good that those who want a T6/quality pass Oberth may well be getting what the want I can't help but think back to the poll from 2017:
21st October 2017
If the incoming ship reveal IS the Oberth it means that the only ship…
Well - apparently Kael said, during the livestream, that there is a new ship reveal/announcement incoming.
Looks like this was genuine and is coming sooner than was assumed.
Well - apparently Kael said, during the livestream, that there is a new ship reveal/announcement incoming. No doubt whatsoever regarding what it WON'T be.
Probably fairly safe to assume the T6 Oberth is coming sooner than was assumed.

Silly statement really. In term of performance, of course the Legendary Intrepid is superior to the Nova - its a friggin Legendary T6 ship which benefits from being a Miracle Worker ship. In fact pretty much any T6 Science ship outclasses the Nova b…
Agreed - and pleased am not the only one who saw through that very transparent statement.
I mean, why the heck is the Steamrunner, with its model that is already a lot newer than the Nova's, supposedly a better sales prospect than the Nova?
I guess…
Do any of the ship model Devs like it? If so, it probably stands a good chance of being made at some point.
If not.... well, simple fact is ships they don't like don't receive attention.
I suspect that the 'other thread' you referred to might be the now closed Nova-specific thread I made?
I'd start a new one, but after the unfortunate experience of having the CM emerge from his cave in Twitterland for the first time in heaven knows…
Yeah, good point actually. I mean, I've been trying not to give Cryptic any more of my money too, for reasons that are not entirely disimilar to yours and should be obvious in context. I'm sure someone will be along to tell us why we're wrong in due…
Well, sadly, the number of people saying that in this very thread does give some credibility to Kael's statement (in the last Nova thread I made) "Again, we've released a few of the "most clamored for" ships in the past few years, and they haven't d…
I still fly it on my oldest character and only ever 'swap out' of it to obtain new traits etc. It has been my primary 'go-to' ship for somewhere around nine years now.
That's the sad thing about all this though - I have no intention of sidelining m…
Again, we literally have a scenario where they've run two 'which ship do you most want' polls (2017 and 2021 as per my earlier post), looked at the results and on both occasions decided that what we must actually want the runner-up rather than the w…
I don't see it myself - I rather like these new uniforms, particularly since they've changed them to department colours again.
Okay - then don't watch it. Stick to 'Picard' - that series is going out of its way to try to please those who want more …
Hardly surprising though, is it?
Laughable when you think about it. We literally have a scenario where they've run two 'which ship do you most want' polls (2017 and 2021, as per my previous post), looked at the results and, both times, decided tha…
Of note is the fact that this is a subject that, whilst not overly visible on the forum anymore, still pops up quite frequently on Social Media, with the most recent example being Reddit:

They already did "which ship do you most want" polls:
21st October 2017
27th January 2021:
It won the 2017 poll with a 2% majority.
It won the 2021 poll with a 10% majority and over double the number of votes were cast.
But as has been said elsew…

Well, to be clear, if this isn't April Fools related shenanigans it's probably great for those who've been waiting for a T6/remastered Oberth class.
However, again, it does go to show that winning an STO ship poll is meaningless:

So far as I am concerned you've hit the nail on the head. I mean, they haven't really even tried to hide it, have they? It couldn't be more obvious which ships are their favourites - as well as the fact they'll sometimes outright SAY it they also ma…
Nova:
Has seen better days - that one who quietly sits forgotten at the back of the room. Those at the shipyard ignore her and she has inexplicably been denied entry to the beauty salon for several years. Too embarrassed to be taken on a date as con…
I don't know - at least she put some emotion in it. Jason Issacs, however, sounds as flat as pancake. Same applies to Operation Riposte - he just sounds really bored, to me at least.
I guess this isn't really the thread for discussing this - but by the same token I don't feel I can make another thread specific to 'that' ship because of what happened to the last one. I still feel quite humilated by the response that Kael crawled …
I'm really hesitant to involve myself in these discussions after the humiliation of having Kael make a rare appearance to post in the (now-closed) thread I made on the subject, to shoot the whole thing down and make me look unreasonable and sarcasti…
