I thought it could be usefull to have a place we can store new Informations for STO Updates. Some of them are hard to find cause they wont be a dev blog.
Link to the original Post sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=18359201&postcount=1 Being broadcasted now at Vegas. www.livestream.com/trekradiotv
There is a dev Q&A happening soon on the livestream.
IMPORTANT POST BY QUACK REGARDING T6 SHIPS: sto-forum.perfectworld.com/sh...1&postcount=53
Old ships will not be obsolete.
Coming October
EDIT: Level 50 to 60 and story based content confirmed.
Mark MK XII and MK XIV confirmed.
New methods of captain advancement via specialization trees.
Many new races to encounter.
Tier 6 ships introducing new class of starships and new class of boffs.
Voyager interior (I'm told the option with or without Neelix's kitchen.)
Better intrepid model
Exploration
Homeworld of a rarely seen species.
Many new ships for all factions.
New ships having new powers.
There were new concepts of new world art.
Tim Russ will return as Tuvok. Several more Voyager cast will be joining. Garret Wang the next confirmed actor reprising his role as Harry Kim.
Harry Kim will be captain of the Rhode Island.
Talaxians and Ocampans will be allies, unsure if they will be playable right now.
(Find updates at twitter.com/Drogyn1701 as well.)
Q&A:
Q&A: doffs through Gateway? Revamp allows that. Dev time for that not scheduled, but is possible.
Q&A: generic boffs on bridges. Geko wasn't aware, thanks for bringing that up
Q&A: science ships not competitive, especially when not in fleet. Crafting is for that. New tac heavy Sci ships coming
Q&A: more underrepresented Alpha quad species? "Trek is so huge, right now focusing on Delta Quadrant." only small section of that even
Q&A: Achilles Class? "interested in blazing our own trail." mostly sticking to STO designs for non canon ships
Q&A: Not raising existing rep caps, but adding new rep tracks
Q&A: Kzinti? No, don't think they'll ever get access to that.
Q&A: Only have partial access to Animated Series material
Q:&A Existing T5 ships will be competitive. Will be way to "make them better"
Q&A: Baz asking about foundry. "Have some plans that will make it more visible to more people"

"Obsolete" is a funny word, isn't it?
For example, my 2006 Toyota Camry isn't "obsolete". It gets me from here to there. Sure, it doesn't have GPS or Sirius satellite radio, or heated seats, or automated braking or push-button parallel parking. But it isn't an "obsolete" car. It still works just fine. It doesn't even have much visible rust.
I have a feeling that's what our Tier V Fleet, Zen, and Lobi ships loaded with ultra-rare Mk XII gear are going to be pretty soon. A whole lot of 2006 Toyotas.
Also... That TRON Ship. What?
On the other hand, NEW QUADRANT, WOO!

I am fine with the level jump, but what I will not be fine is if the ships from the shows and the movies become obsolete. That is why you play Star Trek, to fly the iconic ships and what not. If you can't do that why play Star Trek Online when you can pick up something different?

I totally agree Idej and when Sito saw the first artworks of this Tier 6 Ships she said: "Okay I'm no brute but I will never fly such a ship!"
I maybe will buy a T6 ship, but only if it comes with original Star Trek Designs. I would like to use my Defiant again, or a nice Akira or something like that but I don't wanna fly this "T6 Artwork ships", and i definitively tell this our community Manager on saturday.
I hope they will allow us to upgrade most of the T5 ships, or better all of them.
There is an Information which says "We can upgrade the JemHadar Attack ship to T6 for free. This is at least one of Sitos ships which will be running perfect in the new endcontent.
I think they will allow this for every Lockbox ship, cause why should we open Lockboxes if the "crazy rare" ships in it are only obsolete? They would loose much Money if many Players don't buy keys anymore.

Today I talked to our Community Manager on GamesCom.
Upgrade your T5 ships to T6: It is planned, that you can upgrade all your T5 ships (which you had to pay for) to T6 for free. So the only T5 ships you need to buy an upgrade coupon in C store are ships you get as a gift (for example from summer or winter Event and from Feature episodes)
this Information is without Engagement, but he thinks they don't wanna Change something on this regulation

It seems they changed some things on the free Upgrades. complete listing of ships can be seen here www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7002163
I heard rumors upgrading for zen would maybe cost same like one or two fleetship modules. That would be 500 to 1000 zen per ship. But thats only a rumor I heard in sector Chat.

And another new Information. If you buy a T5 ship upgrade it's an accountwide upgrade. So you pay once for a ship class, and all your toons may upgrade the same ship class for free.

Wow.... so the Breen and Risian and Lobi/lockbox ships are getting upgraded for free, but Fleet and Zen ships are going to cost Zen?
And mirror ships (also lockbox) can't be upgraded at all?
That's just... ugh...
Looks like I might have to get the old Chel Grett out of mothballs for a little while.

Yepp, that would be better than flying one of these ugly T6 ships. The klingon ship is okay, but i will never fly one of these Federation T6 ships when they don't come with real star trek designs. T6 Federation shipdesign is a cryptic error Sito said

All the T6 ships look horrid. Except for the KDF ones.

Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it.
