Indeed it is. Interestingly, there are three, sort of. The Explorer Warbirds (Surhuelh, Galas, Taenen) have the D'Kyr 'ring' (they're explicitly noted as having been developed with Vulcan assistance).
-
That the persistent issue is on the ropes, if not quite yet vanquished outright, pleases me to hear. I've had no problem expressing my displeasure with what I consider shoddy communication practices (i.e. using social media as a substitute for, ins…
-
I've said this before, but it seems to yet again bear repetition: social media postings are meant to supplement and direct players to, not substitute for, official forum threads. Here, it could be a thread whose initial post can be modified to clar…

In comparison, the 'correct' design - the simpler, possibly-smaller one - looks more like it'd be the (Phobos-class?) frigate. Did anyone take screenshots from Synth Wave highlighting the enemy ships? The saying 'measure twice, cut once' is a sayi…
-
That it does. It's strange, given that the examples seen in Synth Wave apparently use antiproton ordinance... and the first comparison which came to mind is to the Phantom-class escort, which has a similar console (lance + phaser boost). A logical…

Indeed, sir; permit me to round that out... * 'Installation 18': piercing-tetryon dual cannons, turrets, dual-beam banks; * 'The New Link': resonating-tetryon beam arrays, dual-beam banks; * 'The Renegade's Regret': tetryon pulse generators, emitter…

It is surprising that a playable version of the K'Norr - or, for that matter, the Fer'Jai - hasn't shown up already. That aside, one does wonder if introduced alongside this new ship will be S'Kul squadrons and/or a K'Norr hangar... which, in turn,…
-
Which is kind of funny, given that Kirk 'appropriated' a Bird-of-Prey out of necessity at the end of the third movie. That aside, the Alliance initiative does make for a good in-universe explanation... imagine, if you will, that operators who max o…
-
This wouldn't need a new variant, just a console somewhere that turns those effects off. Tholian bridges (video) have a similar functionality.
-
Not bad. I have a couple of alternates that could go with that shot, or this one from 'Brushfire'... "Space. The final frontier. "These are the voyages of the starship Zatmeniye. "The continuing mission: to prowl the darkness between stars; to…
-
Not a bad choice. The Solonae Dyson Sphere is another... that place is huge. For an idea, let's just say that the interior radius is 1AU (the average distance between the centers of Sol and Earth - 149.6 million km). Feeding that into the surface…
-
Yes please. Among the things I'd like to see in this vein would be neck gaiters (the Iccobar ambassador in 'Midnight' has one) and more color variants for the MACO battledress (why shouldn't players be able to replicate the 'Mantel'/Facility 4028 c…
-
This is extremely bad form on general principles; never mind that whoever made that call would likely complain quite loudly were the proverbial shoe on the other foot. See also, foxman00's concerns above regarding the apparent lack of proofreading …
-
This is troubling. I will reiterate an opinion I'd posted elsewhere...
-
Something like this actually exists ingame... Jem'Hadar attack ships may implement a kamikaze manuever when dropped below half health; when they do, they pop up a speech bubble to the effect of locking in their trajectory and preparing crew for emer…
-
And the historical insight is appreciated; thank you. Returning to the intention of this thread: Aigaion would be a completely understandable name for one of the Vanguard carriers. Note that the original was nicknamed 'Great Shadow'... which could…
-
Thanks; this proved informative. A bit further out, aside from their hopefully following through on squadron forms of all existing fighter bays, I think a new secondary spec is in order, devoted to improving the effectiveness of hangar pets. An ob…
-
And it'd be easy to justify in-universe as the KDF, RRN, and Starfleet having evaluated the Vanguard Wing doctrine and deciding to test it on some new platforms...
-
One possibility would be a built-in passive that's a version of the repair nanites that are the full-set bonus from Desperate Defenses, or the field from the Protomatter Field Projector... I imagine applying one of the New Romulus shields (or the o…
-
I take it you mean that the new squadron pets should be usable on any ship with a hangar bay (faction permitting). This is something I see and raise adding squadron versions of all other fighter bays (i.e. Peregrines, Widows, Bleth Choas, Obelisk s…
-
As for the eye accessory (and hairstyles)... I hope they didn't get lazy and render the heads as unique one-piece models...
-
Which brings us to an odd omission: why on Terra isn't Dom-polaron the default type Dominion operators have access to at ship gear stores?
-
That's it exactly. How sad, then, that more work wasn't put in on this simple front. Why isn't there a basic ball cap with color and logo options (the latter can draw from the various rep tracks, faction/service logos, and even certain accolades)?…
-
As noted above, works quite well in concert with gravity wells. Note, however, that it only works with mines you deploy directly... no 'making it rain' with the quantities Echentises deposit, unfortunately. With four per Ryn'kodan, a full team can…
-
Mostly, I understand, because Sisko is a big fan. That does not, however, mean that STO shouldn't branch out. For example, into football (the variety much of the world refers to as 'the beautiful game'; I'm sure the art team could have a field day…
-
The apparent lack of proofreading is just bad form - not only is it sloppy on general principles, but can give people cause to wonder what else is being skimped on. Aside from the console ability (which is in some ways similar to the Cheirax') it w…
-
New and revamped Klingon content is welcome on general principles. That said, I hope they devs aren't pressured to push it out the door without proper testing. I'm sure folks will be posting it here, as well as Reddit and other places, but will su…
-
This is a good idea, and actually synergizes well with some tailor options. Quite aside from this (and the idea of selectable transporter FX - for example, owning any Hur'q ship makes their 'globe' transporter FX available as an option), there's no…
-
I would add to talgeeze's sentiment that this is an opportunity to release concept badges for the KDF and RRN that didn't make it into service. Also surprised that Zef's outfit isn't an unlock (they did have to do much of the modeling for it to mak…
-
Which I do not propose as a solution (the theoretical T6 Kar'Fi would still be a KDF-specific ship) - for a fourth Fek'Ihri ship there are, aside from an all-new design, the Fer'Jai and K'Norr to consider. Besides, it can be argued that the closest…
