  from where do we get the ships?

• merryprankster2 @ Feb 25th, 2013 5:02AM

  Yea, so? Looks like the whole thing was just a means to show off the new Season Teaser video they made. Curiously, I still have a Boff that teleports in, stuck halfway, in the floor, on a basic, F2P bridge, 3 years, after launch. Quick question. Other than arbitrarily, reversing the names to suit the whole "mirror" thing, what is the advancement, on the MU "advanced" escort? The name suited the prime universe version, on account of the multi-vector thing, but the MU version has no such capabilities. Oops.

• wakerw @ Feb 24th, 2013 6:37AM

  is it me or are the mirror universe advanced escort and mirror universe patrol escort reversed? cause the patrol one looked like an advanced escort with leprosy

• cers001

  yes they are reversed

• breadandcircuses

  They are reversed, which gives you the option of having a Milti-Vector Patrol Escort, with its increased Engineering focus... though only if you have the console from the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort. It opens up a couple more options, though not much since it only shifts an Ensign boff seat and a console.

• breadandcircuses

  Hehe, "Milti-Vector" was a typo, but you get the idea.

• mortotheman @ Feb 24th, 2013 3:10AM

  Pfth another ship i CANT get cos of the stupid max limit on starships you can own

• shpoks

  Just discharge any Z-Store ship you are not using atm, you can reclaim it anytime you want to use it again.

• transamerica @ Feb 23rd, 2013 4:51PM

  You know what I want..... what I really really want..... I want that big old massive ship that I have seen in some of the federetion episodes.... THE USS SAN JOSE!!!! Now I would pay some good money to that monstrosity in my arsenal..... I could just imagine the amout of weapons, photons, missiles, hangar bays, consoles, hull, shields, etc, etc, etc..... NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!

• stomperx99

  I think you mean the Jupiter class.

• transamerica

  @stomperx99... I do not know what class they are stomperx99 but I would luv to get me a ship like that... The reason I called it The USS SAN JOSE is because after one of those episodes (and I forgot which one) I saw it and when I looked for the info on that ship, the name was USS SAN JOSE and I WANT ONE!!!

• stomperx99

  That would be f)ckin awesome Transamerica. But I dont think they would make something that bada$$ :(

• sevenpenny

  from the STO wiki: The U.S.S. San Jose is a Jupiter class Federation Dreadnought in service to Starfleet in 2409. just thought I would clear that up!

• tomcat115

  Dont you think that ship is a little over powered?

• rickysmith1

  If you actually bother listening to podcasts and/or interviews, you'd know they arn't going to re-release that ship... but down the road they will do another Jupiter Class, differant, ship, same name, likely a proper Starfleet Carrier with minimal weapons but massive hangars and hull. Oh and the next few ships released will be 'Founders of Federation' so think Tellerite, Vulcan, etc

• cub358

  In "Hive Onslaught" PVE mission, u get to c 1 in action...

• jcp26

  Why would you ever want a garbage scow like that? From what I've read on the Wiki, the Odyssey class is classified as a Dreadnought. It's larger than the Jupiter Class with a larger crew(2500 as opposed to the Jupiter's 1000), has more advanced equipment(Quantum Slipstream Drive) and more powerful shields and weapons. It even says that many ships that were originally Jupiter class ships in PVE have been redone as Odyssey class. The Jupiter class is slow, underpowered and obsolete. The Odyssey is the future, faster, more durable, and more powerful.

• stomperx99

  @Jcp26 I the Jupiter is a little bigger then that! Odyssey is a "glorified curiser" If the Jupiter class came out as a carrier it would much more larger then the ody The never gave stats on the Jupiter class. He he sorry mate! :D

  Tholian lockbox V2 meaby......

• mrschmits @ Feb 23rd, 2013 1:30PM

  nice! But, could you make these kind of videos before you release the new ships?

• thebumble @ Feb 23rd, 2013 6:59AM

  Peoples ignorance crack me up. If the Romulans were more popular than the Klingons, they'd already be in the game. Cryptic likes money. If the Romulans would have made them more money at launch, they would have been in the game. The Romulans will be what they've always been. A second class race with less content than the KDF. Cryptics already given thenm the Tau Dewa sector. Don't look for much more.

• neoakiraii

  Notice the primitive rage in his eye... the uncontrolled brutality. Klingons can be quite entertaining, don't you agree? I think every Romulan zoo should have a pair

• criticalthinker

  Im sorry neoakiraii, but didn't the Klingons plow through a significant chunk of romulan space and then gave it back to the New Romulans out of charity. While I would love to play as a romulan/reman trying to rebuild an empire that has split into many different factions, the Klingon Empire is the faction to beat. The Klingons have more than doubled their size, conqured 4 major galactic powers, is offering assistance to the Defri and Romulans, anexed four new sectors and fought off the Borg, Undine, Dominion, True Way, Felk'ri, and the Tholians. Eat your heart out Romulans.

• howiebabey82 @ Feb 23rd, 2013 5:04AM

  as for the fleet version of the ambassador looks ok but im gona hold out for the oddy fleet version

• ahilles7

  There is no Oddy fleet version that is freeper one from 2 year anniversary. So it's better to buy Z-store Oddy than get one from the tier 5 shipyard. Plus Geko and others said there won't be ever fleet variants of Oddy,Vesta,Bortasqu.

• darthpostal

  Never say never. When LvL cap will go up, Oddy

• darthpostal

  will become obsolete. Fleet is a good way to distribute new Tier 6 refits to people who own T5 Oddy for a discounted price of 1 FSM. So I still hope we will get T6 Fleet Oddy/Vesta/Kumary with full Admiral upgrade. (sorry for double post, seems like ampersand breaks message into two halves)

• rickysmith1

  Why dont people listen to podcasts? no Andorian ship, Vesta Class or Olympic Fleet Versions as they are over clocked! Thats why there isnt a Mirror-Defiant Class, because there is already a Fleet version that rivals the Andorian ship 121! and its only 500zen! BOOM

• ahilles7

  That's the problem Ricky and as a person who follows podcasts. I know what Geko said and what Dstahl said. "There won't be fleet Oddy,Vesta or Andorian escort ever".

• howiebabey82 @ Feb 23rd, 2013 4:57AM

  lock box for that reason i would be out

• wolfgar2 @ Feb 23rd, 2013 4:56AM

  Honestly the video was so short it didn't show the potential for any of the ships, hell it didn't even give a good visual of the ships. So in all I give this video a failing grade.

• bridgern @ Feb 23rd, 2013 2:53AM

  There is no Yamaguchi Class it is the Ambassador class Refit.

• shpoks

  That is the Yamaguchi class. It's the fleet version.

• r3ad2 @ Feb 22nd, 2013 10:38PM

  seriously?

• d9411 @ Feb 22nd, 2013 9:04PM

  A new faction seriously? Thats where their effort went? Not i dont know giving the kdf more content?

• dracounguis @ Feb 22nd, 2013 8:57PM

  geez, get some bandwidth. freezes up when you try HD

• vonhellsting @ Feb 22nd, 2013 4:49PM

  I paticularly like the march beneath the raptor's wings may 2013 part(1:40)...I just wish it wasn't so far away...I need me my Romunlan starships!

• stormdrag0n @ Feb 22nd, 2013 4:25PM

  Fricking awesome

• cptfauler @ Feb 22nd, 2013 4:19PM

  Jem hadar dreadnought, better known as eunuch ship, the ship that ja He was born without the balls to be that you do not have 450 million in energy credits and want to make the joy of a few players who have the jem hadar ship atack power to you have the maximum that nature can offer DPS. If you do not have the CE 450.000.00'll have to settle for using some insignificant fighters and be happy with mediocrity that gives the crypt!

• cptfauler @ Feb 22nd, 2013 4:18PM

  Jem hadar dreadnought, more conecida as eunuch ship, the ship that ja He was born without the balls to be that you do not have 450 million in energy credits and want to make the joy of a few players who have the jem hadar ship atack power to you have the maximum that nature can offer DPS. If you do not have the CE 450.000.00'll have to settle for using some insignificant fighters and be happy with mediocrity that gives the crypt!

• tl3205 @ Feb 22nd, 2013 2:57PM

  Pretty cool I want a carrier

• khayuung @ Feb 22nd, 2013 2:47PM

  This is how more of your trailers should look like!:D

• daedalus304 @ Feb 22nd, 2013 2:13PM

  They should have put the dominion beams on that jemmy dreadnought, for one thing they are very powerful, secondly it fits the motif.

• haldan1968 @ Feb 22nd, 2013 2:13PM

  COOL!

• apachenation @ Feb 22nd, 2013 2:12PM

  So the Roms will finally be a playable faction soon. Maybe. After 3 years. If the Klingons are any indication, I expect very little content....then again, Roms are generally more popular then Klinks with the STO playerbase.

• godimas

  No they wont.

• imadoctornota

  I doubt that is true. Klingons win in popularity over the Romulans in just about any circle. Perhaps more people talk about how great it would be to have a Romulan faction, but we already have a KDF faction (which isn't perfect, although very much improved) so it might appear that way.

• wazzagiow

  well truth is that tng and ds9 played a huge part in race/faction popularity shifts. not only have the romulans easily proven more popular than any hardcore kdf player will ever admit but the cardassians are not that far off the same levels of popularity.

• chernovich

  I'm willing to give playable Romulans a chance, but I suspect we'll end up with an example of how "wanting" and "having" are often very different. Hopefully, they'll make it more story-based and not just "Plasma equipped Klingons flying bitdlike ships for PvP."

• fudgeoflife @ Feb 22nd, 2013 1:27PM

  KDF was a sideshow in the Star Trek shows and it can be that way in the game also. Deal with it!
