I saw some comments that it should have had a pilot hybrid spec instead of a command hybrid spec (I mean gently caress, one of Sulu's famous lines flying the thing was "fly her apart then!"..), and if Cryptic did that then it would at least have been unique. You'd have a fairly mobile cruiser with extra potential mobility from the pilot skills, or you could use them to shore up the weak tac seating, or whatever. If nothing else it'd be a less useless spec than Command.

But nope, it's yet another command hybrid cruiser except objectively worse than all the others in every aspect. :effort:

Maybe if IQ Fleet hadn't leaked it early Cryptic would have had time to put more thought into the stats.

They are cracking down on how easy it is to get that information due to IQ Fleet pasting the info everywhere so everyone will slobber their knob about how smart and awesome they are for posting it

Meanwhile they're using tools available to anyone with a simple search that were designed by a goon who used to play this in Starfleet Dental, wonder how many pubbies would find that hilarious? :v:

It's just stupid. IQ Fleet publish a leak, then Cryptic panic and rush the announcement. If IQ weren't so vocal we'd probably get better quality ships and lock boxes.

Thing isn't coming out for two days, it can't be that loving hard to swap a BOFF seat or something.

IQ fleet's 'leak' page doesn't even exist anymore. Couple days ago it was wiped just saying "First rule about fight club" but now its just blank.

I wonder if Cryptic finally told them to stop it.

The girl on the screen is Max, the protagonist of the episodic game Life is Strange. Early on in the first episode, she finds that she can rewind time, up to a certain amount, using not only information she has from the previous timeline but also having anything she takes from the time in her possession, rather than where the object originally was. Long story short for that signature, time travel joke.

This. Was Grom bitching about it on air, by any chance? This is absolutely amazing.

Unfortunately not, local and zone chat remained quiet. He was probably complaining in SSR or some other channel.
Grom was streaming on Twitch at the time, but there isn't a VOD available of the event, and his death happened while music was playing, so we can't hear him drawing his last breath on the SSR replay.

Pulse came by to watch the killing, and got a shoutout from Grom.

So people will buy upgrades.

Also I believe all the T5 ships are level 40. So something for the lowbies to use for 10 levels.

That's the consolation prize.

One of the new ship traits is literally called "invincible"

It makes it so that when your hull gets low, you cant die.

You shouldn't be dying anyway in space.

But yeah. I guess the Krenin Timeship is alright? Decent boff layout and a 5/3 destroyer. But overall all the ships are kind of unexciting, and the ugly-rear end voyager canon designs don't help.
