Revamped excelsior model coming?!

Darkthunder · « **Reply #5562 on:** July 14, 2018, 03:21:34 PM »

If it includes "revamped stats", I'd be happy to return, as the Excelsior has always been one of my favorite ships. Just never been a fan of the "flying brick" mentality of most Cruisers in STO.

They already have a T6 Excelsior though, so I really can't see it being a new ship.

Unless there going to do something like the T6 Sovereign, which has two (similar) variants.

Nice little addition

Quote

Superfans of the Excelsior will know that when it initially appeared in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, it looked a little different than how it appeared in later films and shows. This version, as the transwarp experiment “NX-2000,” is now also available when you purchase either the T5 or T6 Fleet Advanced Heavy Cruiser.

Tobias Richter also build this baby as he did the new DS9.

DSC Themed update coming in the future.

https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10962253-star-trek-online%3A-age-of-discovery

This feels like something CBS pushed for because it seems too close to ViL.

Some info from last nights stream.

They’re treating this like an expansion that is slowly released over time.

That being said DSC themed content will NOT be the only thing released going forward, but will be sprinkled here and there between other content, it’s an ongoing story.

They worked directly with the writers and producers, and I don’t mean over the phone, they went to their local offices in LA to discuss the game’s story. It was actually the show people who suggested they use T’Kuvma’s sister from the comics.

They worked out, theoretically, how the game’s story would fit in the Discovery’s story line to make sure it won’t contridict the show.

Lots of new ships, but didn’t say what.

More info coming next week at Vegas.

The Vegas panel on AoD isn't until Sunday, though some other STO devs are on other panels throughout the week.

Bunch of AoD info dropped, take a read. I'll most a summery from any news site that makes one once they're up.

T6 Ambassador, based off Probert's concept art and Tobias Richter's version. Him and his team even built the STO model

So AoD missions are not time travel missions for 25th Century characters, they're 'Historical Simulations'

https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11005613-age-of-discovery%3A-secrets

Quote

It will also be available to 2409 and TOS-era Captains as a historical simulation, in the mission journal after Victory is Life.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #5572 on:** September 25, 2018, 01:01:14 PM »

Yeah this part makes a lot of sense...

"Be on your guard – this could be a Klingon ruse. Be ready for anything. If things get desperate, one of Starfleet’s top-secret vessels is in the area and can assist if necessary."

Here's a tip: If it's top-secret, don't broadcast it to every Starfleet Captain in the fleet. It would be almost as bad as building a top-secret warship in the vicinity of Saturn, and displaying a model of said ship on your desk for everyone to see (hint hint Into Darkness)

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #5573 on:** September 25, 2018, 02:24:34 PM »

How do you know it wasn't an encrypted message? And it's only being broadcasted to 'You' the player character, not the entire fleet.

Another mission

Surprised you guys haven't mentioned the starter ship yet. It's the Miranda wannabe, the Malachowski-class starship and to be honest, it looks really good.

Haven't done anything but the tutorial for the Discovery expansion. Mostly a rehash of the 2409 tutorial but still fun with some new cutscenes I think which were pretty good.

Probably won't start the missions until after this blasted hurricane is over with though 😒
