I'd settle for Cryptic just making space command abilities not poo poo. It's kind of weird and annoying since the ground ones are pretty good and don't require bullshit group positioning stuff, but then the space ones have massive hassles and drawbacks for tiny bonuses. They also really show how little Cryptic actually plays and understands their own game. Reroute Power from Life Support is just embarrassingly bad and should never have made it past the drawing board with that concept, for example.

Did they shitify supressing fire? I've been using that.

They nerfed it a little and fixed a few bugs but it's still one of the two space command abilities worth bothering with. Even that's mostly on command cruisers where you have enough engineering slots that you won't miss one.

Not only that, but Grom, in his usual fashion, had another mini-meltdown on air about how NOT pissed off he was about Dental crashing his party and how he has NEVER been pissed off by us for the 3+ years we've been showing up. He then informed his fans that they should mute all the "retards" (his words) and that he would have never in a million years moved to a bridge if things were up to him but his fans kept begging him to leave.

Actually they fixed a lot of the bugs on it a while back, if I recall. Like they used that tech they did for the revamped saucer separation so you can move and use skills and such while it's activating/deactivating.

I mean the actual console and pets are still useless and they die instantly like all spawned pets like that, but at least it's functional. And you don't get the MVAM console with the T6 boat anyway. :v:

I really like the Vulcan ship aesthetic and the D'kyr isn't completely useless after they gave it a universal seat, but I will never be able to understand why the gently caress it never got a fleet variant. They gave it a T5U upgrade, but no fleet version. :psyduck:

They're pretty popular on Reddit.

Half-Hearted how? The model looks excellent to me. They even made new escape pod textures for it.

Also Thomas doesn't make these revamped models on work time, he does it on his off time.

Though he likes working on them, so it is probably fun for him.

There is a little image selector at the bottom of the blog, you can cycle through different screenshots and click on them for a larger view.

Everyone wants a T6 connie. Just like they all wanted a T5 connie. Rumor is that CBS won't allow cryptic to make it, because even cryptic isn't clueless enough to ignore the demand if they're not being forced to.

The top profile for Gamma seems interesting. I'm shocked and excited they're actually adding a dedicated, non-furry Federation carrier. Excited enough to log in again when S11 drops.

I don't see why they don't use the Achilles class or other existing third party designs - I'm fed up of these new Cryptic designs all looking like the same ugly rear end ship with stupid nacelles.

Seriously though, what's the deal with IP rights of non-canon yet licenced-worked ships? Does CBS ultimately own the rights to ship designs as the licence holders, or does it stay with the creator? iirc the Vesta was only featured in the licensed Destiny and susbsequent series (Full Circle etc.) novels and never onscreen, yet that made it into the game.

Also I find it quite funny that the Voquv Carrier bears a strong resemblance to the Battlestar Galactica.
