More details about the Fleet system/Ships From Priority one.

[Gerron Vek]

I was listening to Priority ones interviews with Al Rivera and learned a few interesting tidbits about the upcoming Fleet system.


First The intent is to have more holdings than just the starbase. Eventually they are thinking of expanding to allow us to build a colony, a mining station, a distant communications array etc. So the building the Starbase isn't the end all be all of the system.

They are adding 45 new ship variants to the game with this system. Once we open up stores, such as armory and shipyards, WE will be able to do fleet projects to stock them. An example he gave was with armor. WE would do a project and stock this armory with 50 'units' We would then use fleet credits to buys from this vendor. Once the 50 units are used up we will need to resupply it. This goes the same for the shipyard and every other vendor.

There are two types of items we will be able to buy from the fleet stores. Fleet Items and Elite fleet items. These items will have 4 properties on them. The elite version will had 3 normal properties and one special property not seen before. an example he gave was with armor where the special property would be the activation of nanite health monitor automatically when you take damage.

Finally ships. Most of the existing ships across all tiers are getting a Fleet refit option. This will makes many older ships available for Tier V use with their own special properties. These ships will also have a fleet and elite fleet option. The only ships that are not being put in the fleet system are: The Tier 1 ships. The Constitution class, Any C-store ship that does not have an actual console you would buy from the C-store such as the Excelsior. Ships such as the armatige will be available for players to buy through the fleet store but if players want the special console or skin they would need to buy the armitage from the C-store.

It will be cool seeing the different variants at end game. It will make it feel more like Starfleet is made of all the ships instead just the handful there is considering it dont take long at all to lvl up to max.

Especially the Stargazer, neat looking ship. Im sure people will love it if the Excalibur and Exeter are going to be in the store for refit

I just listened to it Lang, and Al said he was goin to look into getting the Miranda in the fleet store.

I'm excited about what he talked about, going to be more higher end gear we are going to have to earn.

Capt Lang has a...fondness...for the Miranda hull. For it not to be included as one of the hulls that could be "upgraded" into a Tier V vessel has him...irked.

First off Sorry for losing it. Second if you don't know me by now...I'm the Crazy Captain who still to this day flyes a Miranda Class. Yes I still fly a miranda no lie from the begin of this game. I've got every console,engine and shields maxed out to make this old girl keep up with the fight...So I pick and choice my fight wisely and most of the time I fly with my teammates here at the 7th. Having said all of this I have been waiting for a refit and hope the fleet system was the answer. Again it doesn't have to be a tier V miranda maybe a tier III ...maybe just a little more hull and another weapon slot in the rear. Just saying and been waiting.


Oh and I think there a bet still going that I would drop the ship as my primary but I haven't.

[Gerron Vek]

I don't think it is crazy to want to fly your favorite ship. I've done something similar on a different character. Maybe one day they will add the Miranda but they are adding alot of stuff already. I'm excited at the new options available at end game. So much more that I am probably going to make the Iapetus my main ship depending on how hard it is to get the refit Nova.

This really sucks. I've had my Constitution Class since I started this game. I got it from Gamestop as a pre-order promotion for ordering the STO Limited Collector's Edition Box Set in December of 2009 [Borg Bridge Officer (Amazon), a classic Constitution-class starship (Gamestop), Sniper Rifle (Target), Chromodynamic armor (Steam), 500 bonus skill points (WalMart), Neodymium deflector dish (SyFy), or a Tribble/Targ pet (Bestbuy)].

Next they will they will take my Red Matter Generator, which was the in-game special item that came direct from the LCEBS activation code.

[Morgan Shackelford]

The Red Matter Capacitor is one of like 3 items they have never re-released into the store or otherwise messed with. I doubt they're gonna do anything to it.

[CAPT Huckabee]

haha I don't know why, but it just flooded my mind that I had a dream last night where they announced the Miranda being in the fleet store. Except it only had x3 fore, x2 rear weapons, and it was pictured on somethin like the SpiderMitch chart........weird so maybe it will come true, just better stats Lang.

Btw has anyone else been the the Ship Req on Tribble? They show the "Fleet" ships and retro fit stats.

20,000 Fleet credits for a ship, tier I-V right now, with the token from a fleet project. Most have the same bridge officer layouts of the other class specific tier V's, but the interesting one was the Fleet Assault Cruiser. Lt and LtCmdr Tac slot, Ensign and Cmdr Engineer, with a Lt universal slot. The Nova for a Sci had a nice lil tac LtCmdr slot as well.

Well, this morning I landed a well placed rant, semi-tactfully, in the right area on the STO forums, and got a response, which allowed me to recant what I said, which was justified. But, based on the discussion in the area where I posted, I kind of left a seed for old "Connie" - maybe as a retrofit skin, if nothing else.

There was a lot of talk about the Tholian Fleet action. And, I put out there that it would be fun to run a TOS fleet against them. The 28th I was able to jump into the Tholian scenario. It was a fun one. They had 5 of us darting all over the system, trying to keep them away from the Starbase.

And, no names involved, I put out there the fact that the Miranda Class had no path for a refit either - just for you Lang.
