Surprised so many went Omega when Sigma is the first design Cryptic/PWE has ever put out with quad nacelles that actually look like they belong together...
None of these, except Theta, look as though they'd be anything more than the same ole same heavy escort. Heck even our Akira Class was given a hangar slot but no docking bay looking piece. Of course, we don't know if these will be stretched to the size of an Obelisk or Jem Dread, etc... we just don't know. I still think…
The fact that they look in design and shape of an HEC or just Heavy Escort in general. And, since they didn't give any general dimensions of either ship. Nowhere, at all, did I say THEY told us these were HECs. I merely pointed the fact out that none of these designs even look big enough to be considered a cruiser
You're right. in most sci-fi shows/books, only Cruisers like (Star Wars ref here) a Mon Cal MC-80 can carry 3 squadrons of 12 fighters each, ALONG with support craft, landing craft/ground assault vehicles... Or Star Destroyers with 6 squadrons of TIE Star Fighters (usually smaller than the Rebel ships... Sadly. this is…
Theta is the only one with a hull that even appears large enough to be classified as a CARRIER. Carriers should (and historically in real modern Earth) be capable of carrying lots of smaller aircraft... Ranging from 72-120+ fighters/bombers, scouts, rescue helicopters, etc. In terms of Star Trek, however, I know we're…
My thoughts exactly. And, of course.. this looks like another Heavy Escort or medium cruiser design contest, not a full blown carrier/dreadnaught that the Feds are lacking. Then again, Klingons (followed by Rommies) are getting very little love these days, if ever.
While Beta has a larger looking hull, thus suggesting it could carry a squadron of fighters/shuttlecraft . ALL the designs look like Escorts or Heavy Escorts to me. Only Theta looks like it could do all of that AND possibly carry a small escort ship. Either way, if you truly wanted to engage your players in a "Design a…
No info from the devs.some other threads talking about hangar pets being sad and ex sad due to "exploits" but the only exploits I can find are regarding a console that people are mad is going to be nerfed
Rounding tier 3 starbase and not stopping till we're maxed. PM @kosree or @xenopheer in game. Already in a huge fleet with T5 starbase, but can't seem to find projects to donate to so you can get fleet credits to purchase fleet gear? Why not join us temporarily and earn your fleet credits? Mutually beneficial win-win.
