Giving STO Another Try

[evilchumlee]

I realized I had all of the Pheonix Box ships except for two of the Vorgon ships and the Ferengi Nandi. I don't care about the Vorgon ships, but now that you can use any bridge for any ship, the Nandi is handy for logistical purposes... the D'Kora bridge is super convenient, with bank access, exchange, special DOFF missions, etc.

It's kind of cool they redid the Obelisk carrier for the summer event. I still think it's super odd they're revisiting all of the Dyson stuff. I'm not mad at it... it's just something of an oddity. Although when the yearly event campaign is over, i'll probably use my C-Store tokens on the Klingon and Romulan Dyson ships. I'll get pretty much anything KDF that comes out at some point.

I am looking forward to this carrier, as it looks like it will be a fun ship to fly, and the best carrier i have is the Klingon Gok'tad with it's souls pets, which if you add fire damage consoles and traits will wat though just about anything even in elite runs....best carrier i have come across as of yet, although the Jem vanguard bundle has a very good carrier.

I'll probably only use the carrier as an admiralty ship. Been fun flying my Legendary Dreadnought again. Upgraded it to T6-X2, as I also upgrade some other parts on the ship. It's good to playing the game again.

The new console isn't half bad, off the Vovin. You can pair it with the Sphere of Influence Omnibeam and boost those sorely underloved antiproton builds.

I have 7 days left before i reach the 20 days, almost there.

they're teasing what I think is the next ship bundle

Not sure what the numbers mean, but the images are recreations of Star Trek Armada and Star Trek invasion. So maybe ships from those games? Please let it be the Typhon from Invasion.

I really did enjoy Star Trek Invasion as a kid. A lot of the people involved in the Colony Wars series were behind it, so it was easy to get a hang of the gameplay.

I'm going to guess there will be a Typhon class in that bundle.

 

[evilchumlee]

I'm hoping... but i'll be disappointed... that this announcement will be something they claimed to working on YEARS ago... having Admirals actually be... Admirals and be able to command more than one ship.

Also... possibly "shooter mode" like on the ground, but for ships... that could be neat. Maybe a revamp of small craft?

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I am putting my money on ships from either the old ST fleet Command or ST Dominion wars games.

There was also a third mock up posted a couple days ago, this one based off the Dominion Wars game. The number code translates to BUNDLE repeating. The stuff in the brackets is just shouting out a user that figured out the code earlier.

Makes sense. Old game ship bundle.

Typhon-Class for almost damn sure.

Premonition-Class from Armada? It's one of the only unique ships in the game I can think of.

I don't recall anything from Dominion Wars.

Depending on how many they put in, i'm wondering if they will go into the Movie-Era Interplay stuff. The Dreadnaught was awesome.

Is this what the controls look like on a PC? I use an XBox and they look nothing like that.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

The top one is STO with the hud elements moved about a bit, the botton one is a actual screen shot from the old PC Simon and ST Shuster Dominion wars game, mission 3 or 4 if i remember correctly..

Star Trek Online Art Director And Writer Reveal Starship Heritage Bundle

"[I] feel like I'm living a Star Trek life."

[evilchumlee]

Sweet. I don't think i'll bother with the bundle, but i'll get the Typhon.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I just found out that if you take the console from the new carrier event ship, and put in onto the jelly fish ship, you can now teleport anywhere while the JF is in turret mode, basically making the JF a mobile killing sphere now. Ha

 

[137th Gebirg]

Oh AWESOME! I use the Cnidarian Defender regularly. That makes an already balls-out powerful ship even more insanely powerful. Thanks for the heads' up - I'm a couple of days away from finishing it.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I just did gravity kills with the JF in turret mode using the console to jump back to the partical ship......now that was fun......and yes, the ship is now more deadly than ever.....i hope they don't nerf it or the console. Lol
