In regards to the Bortasqu's Bird of Prey console that was unbound, but is currently making ships that aren't a Bortasqu' variant invisible: A lot of you are talking about the Jem'hadar Vanguard Carrier's console that launches a pet from the model of the ship, much like the HoH'SuS bird of prey, but is also usable on other ships because it uses a different warp-in animation on them. I hadn't thought of this while I was filming, but it was brought up on Ten Forward Weekly that day (I was still editing at the time). The issue there is that the HoH'SuS console is very old, so there's no guarantee they'll be able to rework it in such a way. Yeah, if be nice if they could get the HoH'SuS to be useable on other ships without turning them invisible, but right now I'm not holding my breath for it because we don't know how difficult difficult it'll be for them, plus if even they do get it to work players will just start demanding that they make the same change to other consoles like the Aquarius set or Areoshuttle (as both of these ships already have Legendary versions). The other big thing about this that I think needs to be addressed is that these aren't aren't good consoles. They're ancient, they have no passive buffs, the set bonuses aren't worth much, and the pets themselves do very little damage. Personally, I'd rather see Cryptic made new versions of these consoles. Give them proper passive stat buffs and buff the pet's damage output. Based on what Cryptic has has several times in the past, it often sounds like it's easier to make something new than to alter something that's old. It's usually more profitable too, depending on how its released.

I don't have the bundle yet, so I can't test this and as such could be way wrong, but i think that effect on the Disruptor Quads might be better than you think. That 10% reduction to Scatter Volley triggers per kill and there's no mention of a lockout. I'd be interested to see if a high DPS build using it with Withering Barrage could get 100% or close up time, at least in content with large numbers of weaker enemies.
@hypertion11 ай бұрын
OK, i remember reading that the one console that allows that one jemhadar ship to launch a small ship can be used on any other ship and it just has that ship warp in.. i assume the Bortas will have the same thing, and i can imagine the Aquarious Console can do this as well. the Scimitar consoles are amazing, even if you dont get the pulse from the set. i will get this bundle when the next 35% bundle sale occurs..

The whole secondary hull on the new Inquiry needs to be brought down a few decks of height as well. Right now the deflector is blocked by the underside of the saucer. I think this would solve the other design issues you are having with it... except the floating dish of course I could have sworn the Avenger material got a little love. It looks remarkably better than it did back in the day.

I really wish the Legendary Bortas wasn't Command yet again (after all previous versions were Command and the Legendary Odyssey as well), but I guess there weren't a lot of options. I really hope the Legendary Negh'var - once it comes out - will be Temp Ops (because it appeared in two great time travel series finales - TNG and VOY). For the T5 unbinding of the set consoles of the Bortas ... apparently they didn't - not surprisingly - check thoroughly what the consoles will do on other ships (such as the Bird of Prey).

Weird choice with the Klingon ship, the parallels to the Avenger/Inquiry are the Kurak/Mogh, which were already robbed of the promo parallel to the Inquiry and a third set piece, this should have been their natural redemption and update instead of another flagship, even a new raptor would have made more sense (Miracle Worker Mat'Ha ?)

I'm surprised they just didn't copy the vanguard carriers' console when trying to unbound that console, aka just summoning the ship when used on the other ships.
@Efyhxsl59m11 ай бұрын
I think when talking about the Bird of Prey console on the Bortasqu and saying they probably cant make it work on other ships i would remind you that the Linked command matrix console that summons a Heavy attack craft from the Jem'Hadar Vanguard carrier works fine on any ship. It has unique animations when it seperates from the main ship not unlike saucer seperation but when on other ships it just warps in behind you. I run this console on literally every carrier to get the max buff from the Strike group command authority trait. They can make it work if they want to.
@austinm563011 ай бұрын
Regarding the Ho'SuS being unbound, don't forget that on the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Carrier, its summoned ship console can be used on other ships. When doing so, the summon simply warps in, as opposed to a nearly-identical animation to the Ho'SuS when used on the Vanguard Carrier. It also changes the maneuverability stats of the Vanguard Carrier, while making no such changes when used on other ships. I'd certainly rather they leave it unbound. EDIT: That said, I have no interest in a Command-spec ship. If I want to run a torpedo build, I'd use a Pilot ship, the Eagle's console, 3 Kelvin Photon torps, and Stealth Torpedo Bomber (also from the Eagle.) The spike damage may be minimal but the raw DPS is actually very competitive with a CF3 build,, with the added benefit that it's equally effective in Normal content as Elite content. EDIT2: And yes, I'll be getting the bundle. I run lots of shield tanks and Weapons Hot, Deflectors to Full being account unlocked is almost worth the price by itself for me. The Lego Arbiter seems like an outright OP ship - that turn rate and inertia makes it now the 5th best handling MW ship in the game, the others being a raider, an escort, and an especially bad science ship. It's also the only battlecruiser ever released with 5 tac slots - plus 3 universal ones - and with its trait and multiple exploiter consoles, it might actually make SS1 viable, which is kinda crazy. I generally dislike Fed designs and the Arbiter is no exception (though I actually love the Brigid and I cannot explain why I like it and still hate the Arbiter) but I may very well fly it despite its appearance. And if I decide not to fly it, the traits are all excellent and the consoles are good too - the 2-piece bonus is +15% cat2 damage and some turn rate, which combined with phaser damage and more turn rate on the VADA itself should make the ship handle like an escort and hit like one too, but with more HP and better mastery.

The Saucer Sep one will stay bound as no Warp In is possible if you don't have Warp Nacelles.

Actualy they have a point unless they were talking about Aux craft such as the Aquarius crafts from the Oddesy and Bortesque ships since those themselves were built and made with Nacelles im betting those will remain unbound with Nacelles while the saucer seperation ability will remain bound to certain Galaxy classes and Galaxy X class dreadnought class Dreadnoughts

Run it full mixed with cannon in middle two toros and 2 beams, in back I have a torp and two beams and doesn’t matter if I’m slow turning, everything is melting! Also noticed with Klingon recruit yesterday that the previous versions don’t let you fly the ship till 50 but the legend I’m flying at level 7😂 also not all of us have been around for previous events so I at least appreciate the throw ins, although I do agree that legendary bundles should include enough upgrades to x2 the ships in the bundle.

Combining Thirst For Battle with the Janeway-class trait (which is broken for Scimitar cloak and enhanced cloak*) will make your ship super fast when you engage cloak. * Enhanced Cloak Integration only gives you half the benefit if you have an enhanced cloak or scimitar cloak. Scimitar gets the cloak buff but not the decloak buff, while enhanced cloak get the decloak buff but not the cloak buff.

The HoH'SuS Bird-of-Prey will probably either fade into appearance (decloaking would ideal, but that'll probably won't happen) or it'll warp in when the console is activated. That way they can be summonable without the undocking/docking animation the Bortasqu' class has for the Bird-of-Prey.

At 8400 zen discounted price is a good price. i also got it so I now have all three legendary flagships. I'd get it every time there's a sale rather than full price. Two ships and 1 t6 coupon (3000x3=9000) and the t6-x upgrades more than makes up for 8400 zen price. What I wished was they could have given us 6 t6--x so we could get both to t6-x2. I got Bort to t6-x2 and I'll just buy more for the Avenger. but I guess they want the additional sale. my one wish for the Bort-- would have been if it was a command dreadnought so I could launch a playable BoP. but that's ok. Command Battlecruiser is great.

I bought one. And I had to get the ships out of the purchased tab in the C-Store menu. Because for whatever reason they didn't show up in my inventory. And as you might expect, sending in a ticket on it yeilded _no_ results. Because they told me to get them from the C-Store tab...and they told me that I already had the ships. And I was like, yeah, because that's the _only_ way I could! And I'm a little disappointed that the Bortasqu' only has one Commander station. Which is of course Engineering. But then, I wanted to turn mine into an energy build. I've never made a torp build. But...having some of these consoles available for everything...is a good thing.

I'm pretty glad they paired the legendary Inquiry with the Bortasqu' instead of the Mogh/Kurak (the true KDF counterpart to the Avenger/Arbiter). As to someone who has the Arbiter, Avenger, and promo Inquiry, the "value-add" would've been near-nil for me otherwise (since the Avenger skin update is free and the legendary's nearly identical to the promo ship in the ways that matter to me). Luckily the Bortasqu' is a top 5 STO ship for me, so having it in legendary form with a skin update (and making the inquiry available for the rest of my alts) was enough to tip me over into picking up the bundle.
@eatatjoecs10 ай бұрын
Really love the Inquiry but I already have a great Lexington build, and giving up a hanger and a lance weapon in exchange for 5/3 is tough, especially since I think the Lexington looks better, 5 eng is better than 5 tac consoles now, and the cost of the bundle. I own the Flagship t6 9-ship mega-bundle already, so I got the t6 consoles and the t5 ones aren't good, so no need to get this for the consoles. If this was $20-$60 bucks I'd buy it, but even with 30% off this console is 8400 zen, which is $84, for a ship that is only a bit better than a Lexington... I never thought I'd say this but I'll pass.

@peppercallahan8286 in STO's defense, they kinda have to work with what the shows provides them. Star Trek is a very Federation focused show, obviously, so there are a lot more Federation ships than Klingon (or any other alien faction). STO has an obligation to introduce ships from the new shows as well as the old shows, but the new shows haven't introduced any new Klingon ships since the early seasons of Discovery. And all those Discovery models are already in the game (and a lot of people still hate on the Discovery models). And as for the old shows, there's like 2 Klingon ships that still haven't been done. The K'Vort, which is literally the same model as the B'rel but just scaled up to appear larger, which is why they never bothered to do it. And the D5, and there really hasn't been much demand for ENT-era content, and STO hasn't given any indication of them going in that direction. Not to suggest that STO will never do those ships, but the fact that there are only two canon options left means they probably want to spread those out a bit, assuming they ever have the chance with all the other ships Star Trek has introduced.
