One could argue however, that the nacelles look shaped rather similarly. Right down to the narrowed end with a "glow" from behind.

your right, there's a very uncanny similarity between the Regents nacells and that of the Excelsior - A...

Great now youve got me thinking  :banghead:

Which has been done with a lot of designs.  TOS Connie, JJPrise, Emissary class, Shikahr...  There's nothing new under the sun.

The structure is completely different.  The top profile similarity is due to the cowl, which is pretty much a direct rip from the Odyssey.

According to the STO Panel at Las Vegas con (Which was hosted in the DeForest Kelley Theatre, I didn't even know he ahd a Theatre named after him)

The Vesta will be part of Season 7, Though, remember when Cryptic means a season, they mean during it, not just launch, so that means it could be released anytime between the launch of Season 7 and the launch of Season 8.

Should I read that as "new-ass cruiser" or "new ass-cruiser"?

Well the 180 Degree quantum launcher sounds useful for us cruiser captains. I'm not too sure about the metron gas thingy, but I imagine it might be useful coupled with vent warp plasma (fly in with green stuff, leave a little present behind. And yes it does sound nasty.) As for stats, it's basically the assault cruiser with a Lt. Commander tac station instead of a Lt. station. Yes it does come with a Lt. universal slot, but lets face it, that's going to hold your science guy like it did in your standard cruiser.

The latter.  I always called the assault cruisers "ass cruisers".

Many ass cruisers are flown by people who's skills could be described as "ass" :P

What a jip. The admiral's uniforms in Season 1 were HID-E-OUS.

They're -still- hideous :)

I would like to see them add, FOR FREE, the canon Admiral's "jackets" for each of their existing uniform packs. The TNG-era Admiral's jacket most commonly worn by Admiral Necheyev would go nicely with the TNG "late series" costume pack. The "First Contact" style Admiral's jacket is in the "DS9 pack", but not part of the DS9 "uniform pack". I don't want to have to buy the Defiant interior, Chaffee shuttle etc, just to get my hands on the Admiral's jacket.

Some people actually said that they should have expanded this upcoming set - to include the much-asked-for skant (seriously, what is it about these people wanting their men to have skirts?), the dress uniform overcoat thing (which was used right up until late in DS9/Insurrection)...

Some would argue, even Scotty wore a "skirt", although it's generally called a KILT :P

But yea, if your gonna call it an "Early TNG Uniform Pack", it should include ALL pieces for the Uniforms of said era.

Speaking of Scotty's outfit, when are they going to release his classic vest look, Kirk's vest from WoK, the away team jacket from WoK, or the TMP era engineering suit?

Or proper rank insignia (complete with braid for admirals and the like) for the one we have now, for that matter...which, IMHO, we should get for FREE, considering...

I'd settle for them putting it back the way it used to be with the armor covering the belt of the uniform.
