TIER 6 DAUNTLESS CLASS!!!!

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7006273-announcing-the-dauntless

Dauntless Experimental Class Science Vessel

The original Dauntless class science vessel was discovered by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager in the Delta Quadrant in 2374. Completely alien in origin, the ship and its Qauntum Slipstream Drive were created as a trap for the crew. Recently, however, specifications for the ship were discovered in the Delta Quadrant, and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers has been able to recreate this impressive starship as a Tier 6 vessel.
The Dauntless comes equipped with a Particle Synthesis universal console. This console allows the ship to take on the appearance of a nearby foe while nearby enemy ships are given the appearance of the Dauntless.

Oh, great. Another fugly-ass ship that's likely to have stats that will at least make me consider it.

Oh you mean like the Vesta? At least this one appeared on screen

If there were a reason to buy the operations pack, this is it.

I sense you get my point.

Which wasn't a Starfleet ship.

I figured they were going to do something like this, they did this with the LoR Legacy pack as well if I recall. Sweetening the pot. I was going to get the pack anyway but this is added incentive. I always liked the Dauntless, especially its bridge.

Plus I'd rather fly a science vessel that looked like this rather than that T6 Intelligence one that's an affront to the human eyesight. :P

Remember kids, sometimes it pays not to speed read:

At first I was like, "Okay, another one of the few Starfleet ships that I won't spend $ on since I don't like the design unless it comes with alt skins" ...

Then I realize it comes in the Delta Pack, so yeah I'll fly it eventually. :laugh:


And technically, thanks to an Enterprise ep, the Dauntless Class is already a canon Starfleet ship design since we did glimpse several of them in some future space battle. B)

Which is a future timeline - and if there's a single lesson from the many iterations of time travel in Trek, it's that future timelines are mutable.

I mean, the DS9 kitbash fleet is canonical, and has a greater claim to immediate canonicity than Dauntless, and I don't think anyone here cares to see most of those ships show up.

Thank goodness for mutable future timelines if only for the Galaxy Dreadnought.

Count me as the one guy who would love to see the DS9 kitbash fleet show up in game as NPCs. I wouldn't mind them adding a Shelly Class as a tow-of-shame-to-the-nearest-starbase for major task force fracc ups. :laugh:

I'd probably be inclined to target my own allied ships.

Plenty of Wolf 359 ships left to add to the game also.... :whistle:

We've got one clear example of the Wolf 359 kitbash series - The Cheyenne.

And I don't want my previous statement to indicate my distaste for all kitbashes.

There are several that I find rather fetching. I'd like to see New Orleans and Springfield make it into the game.

But there's an upper-limit on these. Particularly the kitbashes shown in DS9's run.

The provisional-names that are applied should be some indication that these things were even less meant to be examined than the TNG ones.

God it is so ugly i mean really ugly (the vesta isnt pretty but it grew on me over time i doubt this one will) tragically i bet they give it awesome stats so i have to fly it :(

I have no problems at all with all canon & soft canon Starfleet ships being in the game. Add the Abramsverse ships and the Voyager Full Circle fleet (legal department permiting) to the game for me as well.

My immersion won't be impacted in the slightest by someone fighting next to me in a Tier 5U Connie, DS9 Kitbash or Perfect World Precursor. IDIC & all that. B)

LOL

Hoo Ray! :woohoo: this is my favorite ship from Voyager! (with a close 2nd going to the Relativity)
