They've been talking about bringing in the Vesta for the better part of the last year. This is the same answer they got then: "We're working on it".

this one sounds more promising, he didn't say anything about working it out with CBS, so that part must be done.

Fair point...

Vesta? Seriously? They named it after a brand of ready made curry?!

Something's telling me Capt. Obvious is trolling.

Not intentionally. That was actually my first thought on hearing of this vesta class.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3486 on:** August 13, 2012, 03:43:02 PM »

The Vesta-class is named for the Roman goddess of home, hearth and family, and many of the first ships - such as the Aventine - are named after the seven hills that comprised ancient Rome.

oh, from those novels?

Season 7 will revolve around the Azure Nebula (the new sector, not the KDF explore nebula) and that an upcoming Fleet Holding will be an Embassy on a certain colony

Season 7 is going to focus on mission content.

Good, maybe that means the Klingons will have more to do than the couple of missions they've given in the last close-to-three years, hmm?

Don't count on it. Cryptic seems to treat the KDF faction as the "ugly stepchild" in the game.

That's true, but I can dream, can't I...?

And I maintain that even the Mk 11, "semi-complete" uniform you get as an Honor Guard is still a shitload better-looking than the MACO outfits. The MACO ones - and the Omega Force ones, come to think of it - just look like semi-updated versions of the standard body armor Fed characters usually hide and Klingon characters wonder why they can't show (to which I would add, "Why would you want to?")

Cryptic have posted different view shots of the Regent Class. Here are links to them so we can see why a ship based on the sovereign shouldnt have forward swept pylons. (BTW what is that white glowing dome on the bottom of the saucer that we keep seeing creep up?)

enjoy for those that are interested! Luckily though it supports the sovereign constume, so i may see what it looks like with sovereign pylons...

Killallewoks · « **Reply #3493 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:59:49 AM »

Those Pylons look awefully like DJ's Excelsior-A's.

007bashir · « **Reply #3494 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:33:17 PM »

Yeah thought that when i first saw it.

flarespire · « **Reply #3495 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:52:23 PM »

i see what you mean

are cryptic secretly looking to us for ideas for ship parts and then just using them?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3496 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:58:38 PM »

I like it, but....well, there WAS a reason that they went with swept back pylons on the Sovereign. Put her in the oven come Thanksgiving.

That accusation is quite a stretch. The only real similarity is that they're both swept forward and up. If that's grounds for plagiarism accusations, you'd better write up DJ and John Eaves for plagiarizing Probert's Protoambassador. The fact that the pylons curve in the forward and aft profile makes them even more dissimilar.

You do know that was in a jokey sense right?

FarShot · « **Reply #3499 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:39:15 PM »

No because you never used a "

" and you posted that in reply to two serious comments. Also your chosen emote, ":L" is a concerned face. Some might say concern is a serious emotion.
