Dev blog #43 is up!

Caitian carrier anyone? I like the look of it but it seems rather pricey at 2000c.  I'd also like to see one of the science console slots swapped out for an engineering slot especially seeing how the science side is pretty broken atm.

EDIT

Eeeep! Look at that turn rate  :eek

Slot 6 Beam Arrays on that sucker (3 fore, 3 aft), and use your fighter wings to support you. Don't need to have much mobility if you're a carrier (a floating brick in space). Would love to see some larger/clearer images.

Bleh, It's a science ship and I'm not to happy about it.  If they changed that commander rank science slot to a universal slot I would be so happy.  
I don't know, it's a lovely looking ship but that layout just doesn't look good.  Far too science biased for my liking but at least we don't have to go through a goddamn lottery to get her eh?

EDIT

You know, thinking about it in the first shot of her (which I presume is us looking at the front of her) she looks rather like a hatak/odyssey mashup.  The back end being the hatak inspired part. 
There's definitely some SG inspiration there!

Looks pretty slick.  Won't be getting it though.  I think they're starting to go a bit overboard on these C-Store ship prices...

To be honest, I kind of see it as an elongated (and just bigger overall) AlKesh bomber... But I definitely see some "Venture" class (AKA Mission Scout Ship from Insurrection) in it too.

That's what happens when you go free to play. Gotta make up the losses in profit somehow.

If I'm remembering correctly, 2000 c-points = $25.  That's too damn much.

Indeed it is.

Also dev blog #44 is now up.

Except, there's absolutely ZERO reason to charge more than the standard "monthly fee" for any given item in the C-Store. Unless ofcourse it's part of a "pack" of items.

15 USD (or aprox. 1200 C-Points) is more than enough for the larger endgame ships. Not gonna pay 2000 points.

Surely having more sales of items that cost less is better than having very few sales of items that cost a lot? Or is that just me being stupidly sensible again?
Meh.

Careful the thought police my start knocking.

Cryptic is run by business men, not Vulcans.

[captain_obvious]

Featured episode rerun anyone?

[Shadowknight1]

Well.  I guess I can pick up an Ophidian Cane now.

Pimpin'!

EDIT

Hey, where'd the old pimpin' smiley go?

[BFGfreak]

I don't know, IMO fighters just arn't star trek. I mean on screen the closest we've got was the delta flyer and peregrine, both of which seem more analogous to a Raptor than an X wing. Also, $25 is quite steep, make it $10 or $15 and you might make up the diferance with more people buying it.

Cool looking ship though, and yay for actually having a flight deck Shame I've already named my odyssey Galactica, maybe if I got it I could name her Atlantia or Pegasus

So the Carrier is quite popular it seems.

[Shadowknight1]

Reminds me of when the Odyssey first came out.  Warp into a system and see at least half a dozen of them.  I eventually disabled the visuals for the Jem'Hadar stuff because there were so many with that set up.

Just got hold of that lightning whip thing.  I LOVE IT ^^
And only 15 lobi an absolute bargain compared to everything else in there!

[Shadowknight1]

Lightning whip?  I supposed I should actually look at what the lobi thing has to offer...and figure out a way to get a bunch.

please tell me how to get it. I really have no idea.
