With the Intel ships being only on C-Store, and the comment of us getting "6-9 ships in Delta Rising" (with 8 of them revealed thus far), I'm willing to bet that the Guardian Cruiser will be some kind of multi-role Cruiser (Universal Commander maybe?!?), and that players will get it for free. One could hope so anyways. Not that the Guardian Cruiser is that good looking, but it would make sense. Otherwise it would've been listed in the blog alongside the Intel ships.

The Guardian seems to be semi-based on the Galaxy class, if the concept art is any indication; that's a helluva lot better than something out of Halo or Tron. (Says the guy whose ship used the Aegis for the longest time, lol.)

Well the Blog was only about the Intel Ships, so thats why the Guardian cruiser wasn't in there.

One assumes that to be correct, and it's certainly possible.

But the fact remains: Of the 8 thus far revealed ships, 7 were Intel ships, and 1 was the Guardian Cruiser. I don't know if the Guardian will be a FREE Tier 6, or if it will be purchased for Dilithium. But 8 ships, in a line-up of "6 to 9 ships for launch", suggests that we pretty much know every ship that we're getting for launch. Which also means, they are effectively trashing the idea of having 1 ship per career (1 Escort, 1 Cruiser, 1 Science Vessel), and then possibly running this Guardian Cruiser as a "multi-role", capable of being flown/fitted for all 3 play-styles. Time will tell.

Unless they do something similar to when the Odyssey and Bortas were first released then I doubt the Guardian cruiser will be a free ship since it's listed in the Delta pack along with the Romulan and Klingon ship that wasn't mentioned in the last dev blog.

The new missions are nice.

The Hierarchy are a pain in the ass though, all their ships have the blind sensors ability.

Taco has posted some higher res shots of the MSD

http://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/2fy9wg/voyager_master_systems_display_official_wallpaper/ckdz24y

There is a TARDIS hidden in there.

He also added Astrometics (replacing what looks like a Stellar Cartography on the on-set MSD), Borg Alcoves to the Cargobay and Hazard Ops from Elite Force 1 (Well he calls it an Away Team briefing room, but he said that with a Winky face.)

The artist said he used the CG model for the outline.

The Phaser Compression rifle you get from that Rep is the the big phaser rifle from earlier seasons of Voyager and DS9

If your target is exposed the Alt-fire calls in a Orbital Strike. I want.

Another Tier 6 ship, that ugly "fake Starfleet ship" from Voyager, the Dauntless (sorry for any fans, but I don't like it):

We already have a 2409-style Galaxy Class in the game (the Venture). Would I be totally off in guessing it's a 2409-style Excelsior Class? Probably one of the more popular Federation Cruisers in the game.

Honestly, looks like a 25th century Ambassador.
