The skills from that box were supposed to be common drops. Instead the reward box that gave them was a rare drop, with all three ranks of each three skills being a possible reward. So basically a 1/3 chance of getting something useful from that skill box. They're literally rarer than lockbox ships, and they aren't even general unlocks, you have to buy a new copy for every rank for every boff.

Today we drove another pubbie insane, Stark. After finding out his ERP partners were all men he went on a long homophobic rant on Risa a few days ago. Last night I was approached by some random pubbies stating Stark was under their protection. Today we showed Stark how much "protection" they could really give him.

Just occurred to me that Cryptic could handle the Omega's pet situation like a lockbox carrier. Classify a bunch of smaller, outmoded escorts ships as frigate pets and allow access if you own the C-Store version. Would work well for the Pilot ships in particular.

They began with a vicious flurry of emotes directed at me.

But I fired back with 2 disco balls and a few seconds worth of party poppers.

It was over almost as soon as it began, and I'm not sure if the scars will ever truly heal. But I did my part for goon and country.

There's a pub league for doing that.

They have rules on both minimum and maximum dps, along with equipment loadouts.

The idea being that the way to make space combat look like actual trek in this awful game is if you deliberately build a ship to do it that way.

Do we need to re-invite him to the TOS interior briefing room for negotiations?

Though I think nowadays the starbase would be better. The far office on the tactical deck is most appropriate for inter-fleet conferences.

Just remember it's mandatory for at least two (2) Starfleet Dental engineers to be present.

EMERGENCY POWER TO PARTY
Jupiter-class carrier stats are out:

http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9667053

Apparently it is a "science carrier", which seems an odd choice for a combat ship, but I'm also interested to see if hangar pets and Gravity Well I are a fun combination. Is it still more optimal to run science ships with a tactical captain?

quote:

We’re excited to reveal the stats, items and abilities for the community-designed Tier 6 Jupiter Class Carrier. As one would expect, this new carrier comes equipped with a new console and can unlock a new Starship Trait. Below are the stats for this new Tier 6 starship and its fleet variant that will be released at the same time as the standard Tier 6 version.



Developing the Jupiter Class Carrier

When we initially sat down and began talking about a ship that would be heavily influenced by the community, we discussed many options. We knew we wanted to make a ship that would generate a very high level of interest amongst the community. We also knew that the ship should probably be something new altogether, so a Tier 6 retrofit was not a valid option.

After some discussion, we finally settled on making a Carrier. Starfleet players have access to plenty of Escort and Cruiser options, but not very many Science ships and even fewer Carriers. This gave us a perfect opportunity to fill that gap.



Very early on, we were pretty sure this ship could potentially replace the Jupiter class Dreadnought. It later occurred to us that the ship could truly do so by assuming the Jupiter class name. It was our intention to have this ship be massive since it would be both a carrier and taking on the Jupiter-class namesake. The new Jupiter class Carrier would serve as a mobile fighter launching support platform, and it was for this reason we decided to give it a universal console with a team support ability. We knew we wanted the Jupiter’s starship trait to interact with its hangar pets. Many options were considered; ultimately one came out on top. The Insult to Injury trait was decided to be a clear winner and would allow for some interesting gameplay options.






Carrier [T6] – Jupiter Class

The Jupiter Class Carrier is the first of its kind to be built by Starfleet Engineering. It was designed to serve as a mobile fighter launching platform with durability and fleet support in mind.

The Jupiter Class Carrier features a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Intel bridge officer seat.

The Carrier [T6] has a pair of hangar bays equipped with Peregrine Fighters. These light craft are equipped with Phaser Pulse Cannons and Micro Photon Torpedoes.

Insult to Injury (Starship Trait)


Fleet Carrier [T6]

The Fleet Carrier [T6] has been specifically designed to support your Fleet. Fleet Starships are built to the highest standard and have increased Hull Hit Points, Shield Strength and an additional Console slot. Tier 6 Fleet ships do not have a fifth Starship Mastery level and thus do not unlock a Starship Trait.

The Fleet Carrier [T6] features a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Intel bridge officer seat.

Console – Universal – Fleet Coordination Matrix

The Jupiter Class Carrier comes equipped with the Fleet Coordination Matrix Universal Console. Activating this console provides a boost to damage and accuracy to allies. Additionally, affected allies will receive a large amount of temporary hull hit points for the duration of this console's effect.

This console also provides a passive boost to Accuracy and Shield Hit Points.

This Console Mod can be equipped on any console slot, but it may only be equipped on the Jupiter Class Carrier and its Fleet variant.



Insult to Injury (Starship Trait)

Upon reaching level 5 in the Jupiter Class Carrier's starship mastery, you will unlock the Insult to Injury Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, and you activate either an Intel Bridge Officer ability or Tractor Beam I, II or III, you will allow your pets to use Torpedo: Transport Warhead I.

New Hangar Pets

The Jupiter Class Carrier is capable of equipping the Callisto Light Escort hangar pet. These agile small craft are bristling with weapons. Each hangar bay is capable of deploying a maximum of 2 of these light escorts. 1 is deployed each time the launch ability is used.
