So yeah...when Febuary hits, we should all talk about forming a "fleet" i think it would rock to be in a guild with you guys, I plan to name my ship "Daystar" of course, i know you can name your ships. Upon reviewing the types of ships you can choose from and customise, i think my style will be the smaller but tough types such as Akira, Vigilant(the new defiant type) i do like the look of the Vigilant. I know that the ship classes serve purposes example, the new constitution looking ship is a "shield" buff ship whos purpose in a group would be to help buff/defend fellow ships, some ships act like tanks and pull aggro, Command oriented tactical skilled players can augment the groups to hit stats etc because it reflects their tactical skills and command skills etc.
My only beef with STO is their flimsy excuses to this storyline, i agree with some nay sayers who compare this story to a copy of the Dominion war but using species 8479(or whatever) as the shape shifters manipulating the war rather tha changelings. I find it lame lame lame that they make the Klingons enemies of the feds again and find whatever reason to make that happen.
If /when Romulans are player allowed later i will definetly be flying a warbird. If i had a prediction on what other races may fall under the romulan empire faction (klingons have Gorn and orions) it'd be one of the cat races ( kzinti/lyrans. zenkethi)
Note- in a ds9 episode, they revealed that feds went to war with a race called the Zenkethi, but we never saw them. an interview revealed that the race was written as a cat like feline humanoid species.
