It would be very weird to be worried about confusion now, they already have 3 different types of Constitution classes.

Edit:

Ah they updated the blog with the correct phasers. The previous screenshot was taken before the FX was finished.

Well they've done a first with today's patch. They added a promo ship to ESD, that being the Janeway class...

They updated some of the TOS starter stuff. Updating lighting, and removed the film grain. Also the TOS ship bussards look a lot better now, more vibrant.

Before:


After:

Headline: Legendary D7 Intel Battlecruiser

followed by...

Legendary B'rel Bird of Prey Stats

Something seems wrong here, can't quite put my finger on it. Proofreading is hard I guess.

Was honestly expecting the T6 Oberth to be announced today, instead we get this: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11485433-command-the-jovian-raider%21

I'm expecting the T6 Oberth to be around the same time we get the T6 Steamrunner that was teased, which they've said would be closer to the end of the year.

Also surprisingly it's a regular lockbox ship, and not a promo box ship.

Being the primary ship of a main character and all that, I was expecting promo.

Sneak peak at a new Starfleet interior kit they're making for an update later this year

It's a chain of 5 tweets.

Book's ship but not Book's ship since it was scaled up: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11487283-command-book%27s-frigate%21


Apparently it wasn't scaled up according to today's dev stream. The ship in the show shrinks to fit inside Discovery's shuttlebay.

Physically it folds up in the first episode you see it land. But for the last couple episodes, they just shrunk the CG model instead of doing that folding.

STO's model is based on how it looks most of the time in space with everything extended.

Also there is a cat sitting in a bed on the bridge.

That was the community manager, he assumed it was scaled up, but he was corrected on the stream.

Yay, more gambling boxes!!!

Also, why couldn't they put the uniforms in the C-Store, where they belong and where more people might actually get them?

The Refit will come with the base 23rd century model, you won't need to own the original it to use it on the refit, however the nacelles will always float on the refit no matter the skin you're using. If you use the refit skin on the other existing variants, the nacelles won't float.

I'm guessing an engine limitation prevents them form tying animations to a skin.

List of wildlife you'll be able to acquire with the Bond With Life ground trait: https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1394773726713970690/photo/1

Kinda bummed the Viriosaurus Rex isn't listed but I guess that makes sense with how big it is.
