I kitbashed mine the same way yesterday oddly enough lol

Another favorite configuration I came up with used the Miranda saucer, Centaur pylons, Saratoga struts and the Miranda beta nacelles.

I think my favorite thing is graviton spike being turned into a training manual. It's pretty damn brutal as a kit module already and now that boffs will be able to use it...

The new Lore Blog is giving big hints to the Son'a

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10525903-%22cold-dishes%22

The desk and computer UI on it are Son'a, seen in in Insurrection

Plus  "I have relied on those face-tightening taHqeq"

Also I think they might be bringing Martok in next.

The blog mentioned Torg holding a prisoner for 17 years. 17 years before STO's current year (2410) was 2393, the year Martok was killed by J'mpok.

However J'mpok was the only witness to that duel, they were together alone in a locked room. He could have easily faked it.

JG Hertzler said in some podcast I've never heard about that he is recording for STO in June. Geko tweeted yesterday they had someone recording yesterday. He doesn't say who he is playing, but as I said in the above post, it is probably Martok.

Wow a few quality improvements for the Miranda, Refit Connie and the TOS connie

The Fleet T6 Miranda gets a Soyuz option and a 'DS9' variant, Connie Refit gets a brand new model and the TOS Connie gets a 'Where No Man has Gone Before' variant.

They also brought back the roll bar deflector as an option for those who liked it.

I've been wanting the pilot episode variant of the TOS Constitution for a long time. Glad it's finally being added.

[Tuskin38]

Huh, if you own the T6 TOS connie you can also use the NX-Class Materials on it.

I wonder what that looks like.

[Darkthunder]

Only 2 more TMP era ships I'd like to see...

A revamp of the Centaur Class (possibly even a removal of the current Shirkahr variant, which is a Cryptic sub-standard model). With the Soyuz and Saratoga variants now being available, I really don't see the need to include Shirkahr.

The Raging Queen "Excelsior Variant", possibly included in an Excelsior/Lakota update:

[Tuskin38]

Thomas said the Connie Refit model has been in the works since before the Miranda revamp, in fact the Miranda uses parts from that model, not the other way around.

I could see the raging queen being an excelsior variant, though it seems a bit obscure for the game. I don't think they've done any of the background TNG Kitbashes

[Darkthunder]

Fair enough. Thou I would think the Raging Queen would be relatively easy to put together (Connie nacelles, Excelsior saucer, stardrive and neck). Only really the struts from the nacelles to the stardrive that needs adding

Also would like to see the "Wolf 359" pack at some point. It is after all TNG's 30th anniversary this year.

[Tuskin38]

The excelsior model needs a revamp anyways, the only reason it wasn't done with its T6 was because Thomas didn't have time.

Edit: The new models are on tribble for testing

Kobayashi Maru event

Kobayashi Maru event

You beat me by like one second.

I like the model, it is inspired by the Kelvin Timeline design, but TOS with the movie aesthetic. Even has the same registry as the KT version.

Lol

Some more images of the new model

The Cryptic version looks BETTER than any of the POS ships in the JJverse (imho). And that's saying alot, given my dislike of most Cryptic designs (especially the swiss-cheesed ones, with holes everywhere)

From what I read it's still 2410 so only a single year has passed, unless I missed something...

[Tuskin38]

So they've finally pushed the game ahead another year. It's been 7 years since the game launched, and only 2 years have passed ingame.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Whoever told Kael it was 2411 was wrong and it is still 2410.
