Vovin Obelisk Carrier Stats Breakdown

[@stankyyboi]

seems decent enough for a free event ship, I was never expecting top quality so I'm not disappointed

[@redwren4182]

You'll never get top quality from a 3/3 loadout carrier

[@ChefFox]

I think it will do just alright as a free ship. For a free event ship, it's surprising to see a full specialized free ship and I am all for it. Is it lacking? Yes, but hey it's free, it's different and we should at least give kudos to the positive aspects about it. I think overall they did good all things considered.

[@SkydreamPony]

Yeah, full spec seems to be a next step now on event ships, ever since the Hysperian gave us the full intel suite abilities. They've been steadily expanding event ship capabilities.

[@erikhawkke4861]

On the bright side, you can use the Ancient Omni and the Herald Omni that just game from the recent event too, so that's at least all your omnis taken care of for free.

[@tomasr.]

I've been saying this for a long time, full carriers (3/3, 2 hangars) need some buff. Probably something what will boost frigate pet damage, but really significatly, f.e. Caitian Frigate or Callisto Escort should the best dps pets, not the worst like now.

[@gameburn178]

For some reason STO doesn't do a good job with making each major ship type indispensable in its own way. In the real world, Carriers don't DPS, lol, their aircraft do. In the real world Carriers need some protection/screening -- they are and indispensable part of force projection for BIG navies. So, I guess the insufficient group content and the proper definition of the classes are together the problem. In the real world, submarines are incredibly powerful, but they have their limits. I just wish STO could work this out better. Would require a different game I suppose.

[@tenaciousgamer6892]

I say give them the vanguard mechanic.

[@Reoh0z]

The ship already looks cool, they couldn't let it actually be cool as well. On the bright side I'll finally have a carrier, I'm sure it'll make a great admiralty card.

[@MBroam]

Not crazy about the BOFF layout but as someone who plays around with the T5x Obelisk, that extra 3 turn rate is very welcome.

[@robsolf]

Indeed. When the first one came out I'd hoped that they'd increase the size of the instances just so I could complete a turn.

[@MBroam]

@@robsolf That's right 😂

[@dragnridr05]

Despite the hate the Obelisk gets, I can get this old in the tooth ship to keep up with some players that are running the new hotness. The T6 version is just another good ship if built right. It's not meant for DPS, but for support. And if played right, can be a beast of a ship. Not every ship has to be a DPS monster.

[@CorelliEngineering]

As a carrier pilot, I think its great. As someone who is allergic to meta gaming, its also great. No, it doesn't have 8 weapon slots, and the perfect officer layout, but it seems like its got a lot of potential to be a fun tanky ship, and I look forward to flying it! Hope to see you out there. Not every carrier build has to follow the DPS chase.

[@OrdinarilyBob]

Thanks for the breakdown. Sorry about the brochitis, I hadn't noticed any audio issues. Hope you feel better soon.

[@darthllama1]

This is the same as every event with a ship reward.. it awards a free admiralty card. Thanks for the extensive breakdown, it's pretty much exactly what I expected. These ships once had value because it was the only way for F2P players to get T6 ships. With the introduction of the yearly event campaign though, ships like this just became admiralty cards. Sorry about the Bronchitis.. I hope you kick it's ass!

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

It'd be really spiffy of Cryptic to run a 1 week only acquire the T5 Advanced Obelisk for doing the mission so that won't happen lol. Also, best to you for a speedy recovery.

[@Syrenite]

I'm quite happy to see these stats! Sure, it's less of a newbie-powerhouse than the hysperian or the rex, but it offers a different playstyle and should be a very potent free introduction to carriers, especially with full cmd (and a bonus MW)! It won't replace my Sarco for sure, which has even higher hull and a cmdr tac with 4/3, but it sure will earn a place on my roster!

[@Mac_1701]

A free ship is a free ship. Event ships are never going to outshine C store or lockbox ships, otherwise they would hurt sales. Good for F2P accounts as it’ll make a decent entry level platform for some builds. It looks nice. This for me will be a ‘yeah new ship’ for a couple of hours and then back to my normal ships.

[@Mr_Waffle.]

I would make a new themed character build for this like I did the dyson ships just for something to do, but man the need for that lobi ship to do the four piece is just too big a deal breaker :( hope you get better soon!

[@S1337theoddoneout-ip9xc]

Get better soon Spencer. Comparing the Vovin with the D7 MW carrier or the fed version is unfair lol. Is a 5-3 MW carrier vs 3-3 command carrier, no contest, even with cruiser commands the Vovin falls way behind.

[@CasualSAB]

Thanks! And aye, the point there was more to show what the other eng carriers have feature wise nowadays and just how far behind the Vovin is.

[@CardGameNut]

@@CasualSAB Right. The more apt comparisons are really the Ahwahnee (C-Store 3/3 Carrier) and Suliban Silik (C-Store and Fleet 5/3 Flight Deck Assault Carrier), correct? (the D7/Connie and Voth Rampart both being *I believe* Mudd-available ships when Bundles re-list.) Especially considering the Silik could *technically* also be free via a Fleet via 5 (?) Fleet Ship Modules from T6 Reputations if you don't mind not having the I.F.F. Manipulator?

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, pricing wise Ahwahnee, Silik, and Cardassian Ghemor would be better comparisons.

[@CaptainJasonC]

Limited weapon setup just makes this one not as capable as many others. Its free but its not as it requires time. However I will complete the task but just not my cup of tea as far as a ship. I am happy for those who love this ship as I know there are a few. To those enjoy this ship!

[@giantdutchviking]

Ty for the detailed runthrough of the stats and get well soon (didnt notice any audio issues btw). Seeing the 4pc set bonus, trait, additional aux, I think they had a pet focused carrier build in mind. Which I like as a theme build, running one on my Silik. Just wished, if this was their intention, to at least add something to make them more viable. With SAD, ToDuj pets, FPN, Hydra, 4pc space core, etc they do fine in advanced but in Elite your pets just melt away (might lack Scramble Fighters trait). So the Vovin trait will allow a tad more pet surviveability but they should've added something meta for pets, like a combined shield to make them more tankier.

[@QuantumNova]

Full carriers need 3 bays. 2 fighter/Frigate bays and one Frigate only bay. I'll be okay with target sub-system III instead of I too. Something must be added. Maybe a second shield slot LOL

[@3Rayfire]

Feel better soon man.

[@robsolf]

First! Thanks for the vid, Spence!

[@xyreniaofcthrayn1195]

Right pure space barbie vessel than a tangentially useful t6 obelisk so I weep on that front but space barbie is space barbie and she is tantalizingly flashing her ample nacelles, tormenting my dreams (sometimes turning into a scantily clad female version of the yugioh card obelisk the tormentor).

[@nunya3163]

I think it is viable for players new to the game, who need a ship that is a bit more survivable.

[@xyreniaofcthrayn1195]

@@nunya3163 On that we can agree if they can Risa fast enough or whale drop in lockboxes for the lobi or wait for the next couple years for an overpriced mudd bundle or slapped in the Mudd front of the c-store.

[@3d1stp3rs0n]

Considering that this ship is free just for participating in the summer event, it is great. I don't even own a command ship yet.

[@PhillipLemmon]

Why all the hate for this ship I don't understand? 1. It's a free ship 2. The summer ships aren't that good anyway (as far as I know) 3. Don't all the carriers in the game have a 3/3 layout anyway? Someone please help me with this....

[@CasualSAB]

1. Free for the first month. 1k Lobi for a year after. Then 2+ years for it to be put in mudd's store for ~$42. 2. The hysperian from last year was good. 3. Flight Deck Carriers are 5/3 or 4/4 with 2 hangar bays.

[@impohnny88]

It's a sci carrier with no sci seating

[@axelhopfinger533]

Event ships can be plenty good. The Cnidarian Defender can be one of the most powerful and mechanically unique ships in the game. The Hysperian cruiser has a great console and trait for Disruptor and exotic damage types builds. The Fek'ihri Byr'Jai is a mean and nimble little anomaly spammer (albeit extremely fragile). The Temerian Depp Space Cruiser is a solid ship with a very useful console/trait combo which lets you switch off enemies shields in an AOE, then debuff their DPS output significantly with a weapons hit. The Jarok Alliance Carrier is a beautiful ship with a good console for carriers and pet builds. and decent hangar pets etc. All decent and useful and often quite unique and fun to fly. And the best choice for anyone who can't afford to buy regular T6 ships yet.

[@ryananon779]

I'll be having a lot of fun with this ship. Not everything is about "optimal". Can't wait for the Summer Event!

[@morgan22156]

For th weapons lay out why don't they do a 4/2 layout if they want to keep the same number of slots on carriers. Or go crazy and do the 3/3 with an experimental slot that dose something to buff fighters or is anti fighter

[@matthewkeeling886]

They really need to overhaul the engineering abilities to make them more useful... Will I get the Vovin? Yes, it is free. Will I use the ship enough to get the trait on most characters? Yes, I use the Norway with Type 7s on several characters regularly so it might be useful. Will I play the ship? Probably on my AP using character as they already have Iconian ship theming. So, even for casual FTP, not too exciting but at least it is a pretty ship.

[@user-yc6sc4kt4v]

Good timing, I’m just getting into Anti proton.

[@nunya3163]

So a decent starter ship for players new to the game, that they can eventually grow out of.

[@kernergades]

Iv noticed the 4 set bonus the pets get ranks with the high energy communications is used.. so there probably getting buffed by your hanger power consoles..

[@elpatron549]

Thanks for the breakdown

[@Warmaker01]

I expected this ship to be bad because the original Monopoly Shoe version in Tier 5 from many years ago wasn't good to begin with. But Cryptic took my already low expectations and made it worse than I thought they could. 3/3 weapons Extremely limiting BOFF seating arrangement Pointless trait Pointless set + set bonus I'm a completionist. I have every event ship so I'll still get this thing. But I won't be using it. You are also correct in throwing in comparisons of this Carrier to the Flight Deck Carriers out there. It's an issue an Engineering 3/3 Carrier has compared to these vastly superior FDCs. Subsystem Targeting skills also suck balls in this game. Always has. I wish they were useful but Cryptic has an extensive history of hating Science abilities actually doing useful things other than damage. Not to mention with the higher end Elite content and NPC ships being such massive HP sponges, Subsystem Targeting's value drops even harder. I recall we used to have Science Drain Builds that turned off NPCs. But Cryptic hated that and nerfed Drain Builds.

[@CardGameNut]

As always, as a freebie, highly recommended for F2P players, budget players, and those with few T6 ships. 3/3 hurts, but you start learning to let other sources of damage do the work for you. Plus, Carriers are a huge help in leveling, at least while doing the pre-Delta Rising story content. But if you make a decent amount of C-Store ship purchases and perhaps get the occasional Premium ship, yes, this is underwhelming and not worth the time to use for an actual ship build unless you just like the Iconian/Obelisk theme (which isn't a bad thing, sometimes theme beats meta in fun factor!).

[@Sadarsa]

Just a reminder, on the flight deck carriers you can't equip frigates.

turret build here i come

Why? You'd only be able to get scatter/rapid II. Turrets are shite, too. Better off with two omnis and the cutting beam (Omega rep) on the rear, and dual beams on the front, or even torps as it's a Command ship. Won't be optimal but it'll be fun.

It will turn better than the original Obelisk but the seating for sci/tac is really bad. Gonna use tac for the LC Uni myself. I get along just fine with eng though as my Cap is an eng. At least it looks good but it will be an admiralty ship after I get the trait done(even though I won't use it).

[@Yandarval]

Subsystem targeting is worthless. Only if they upped it to something like a 90% chance of working is it worth using. Giving up cruiser commands is rubbing salt and sand into the wound. Its amazing that one set of ships gets the heavy penalty for having two hangers. Yet the other, none to speak of (FDC).

[@wojteks2481]

The real question is will the engi pet consoles affect obelisk warmers from the set.

[@shadowhenge7118]

The weapon slots kills what would have been a halfway good ship, honestly. It could be worse, but again... another ship that still isnt as good as what we already have in any category.

If it was a 4/3 or a 4/4 with a full Lt comander tact or sci I would be down for it. but as it stands I won't even bother doing the event, I'm playing Wow right as I'm so tired of anything being decent being locked behind gamble. I get it the company needs money but once in a while we could get thrown a bone and get something decent.

I'm a bit torn it's a dreadnought carrier but I can't choose it over my legendary intel class scimitar dreadnought warbird

[@GalacticGaming96220]

One thing that you didn't mention in this video, it's very poor when it comes to Unconventional Systems triggers, even more so if you use that Universal seat as a Tac seat.

[@Mtthwpez]

This ship is okay if you don't have the Hur'q Dreadnought Carrier, but not if you do. Will get it for completion's sake, but will likely never fly it, as I have the Hur'q carrier and it's much better (for me).

Well, one of my kdf toons has the t5 from the lobi store and the core and omni from the set at mk15 UV already. So I guess I could update that old build with some Ba'ul ap's. Although not having the lobi Ba'ul set and sentry mode console will hurt quite a bit.

[@MrVeps1]

Love the Risa Summer Event. Best platform to meet and make new friends in game, in my opinion. Last year, the Hyperion Battle Cruiser was actually pretty surprisingly sweet. Fantastic Admiralty Card too. But this Vovin Carrier looks kind of like a flying brick. I’ll claim it - but it’s getting mothballed immediately as the only advantage seems to be a free, decent Maintenance Admiralty Card. Disappointed. Was expecting at least a fun decent ship this year - not a useless flying brick.

That's the thing that annoys me.

Nothing is as frustrating as incomplete sets.

[@hughejass9461]

I haven't missed an event ship for almost ten years so I'll put in some effort to log in to get this completed. With that being said the ship looks very underwhelming. The 3/3 weapon layout is awful especially when combined with the weak consoles and trait. The seating, turn rate, and bad pets ( I remember them as bad but it might just be me) doesn't help either.

Nice hull stats, nice hull regen console, no free RFC console so meh, performs like a normal full carrier but with little exotic dps. Torpedo build it if you want but even that will be suboptimal. I dunno about this ship...

[@calebbrown3658]

Why do they like to do a 3/3 weapon layout? You can't do very much with that.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Because carriers have 2 hangars as additional "weapons". Thus making them practically 5/3. Carriers should focus on their hangar pets and summons, also EPG/control with weapons as secondary. They're generally more support focused. Since this one is a Command carrier, putting a Torpedo build on it should prove plenty effective. And with its many engineering console slots, you can put on plenty of the hangar pet boost consoles.

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

[@vorgonrynkodan1569]

It feels like CasualSAB is measuring this Carrier by the wrong metrics. The Obelisk can pump out massively more pet torpedoes then most FDC’s pets due to the link between Command Kodai and Inspiration. Inspiration is critical for anyone building a high end Federation pet Carrier build or building torpedo pet spam builds. 3 and half hangar bays worth of pets all with EPtW from the ship being passed to the pets. Inspiration, Commander Command, low rank MW all included which are key elements in high end pet/minion builds. Its not the best but its right up there near the top Carriers for pet/minion builds and all for free. If we judge it as a carrier for carrier builds based around minion/pets as primary damage its an amazing ship.

[@redwren4182]

I like your thinking. 3.33 hangar bay power assuming your 4pc spits out buffed, buffable obelisks. Shame they're not that good though. I'll be putting elite alliance fighters on this, flying it maybe twice then shelfing it because it's meh, even for pet build.

Sabs reviews are always the same. He is a STO whale and his thought process reflects this. Always compares free event ships to P2W Cstore ships, then says the Cstore ships are better. Comparing the free Vovin to the Awhanee is a joke. This ship is good but it doesn't compare to this $30 ship. Gosh golly gee I wonder why the $30 ship is better then the ship they are giving you for free during the event. Just for once do an honest review from a ftp player perspective and judge the ship on that, not how fat your wallet is.

[@CasualSAB]

Important to keep in mind that Event Ships are only free for a single month. In this case, if you miss this event in July of 2024, you will have an opportunity for the next 10-11 months to purchase it for 1,000 Lobi Crystals, which have a value of ~$200. After that, in about 2 years it will either end up in the Phoenix or Mudd's stores, where it will cost much more than $30.

[@canadensis8237]

@@CasualSAB That's a problem with the game developers and the way they run things. Take the Voven. Why is the Obelisk still 800 lobi when they have made an updated version? The price should be dropped or it should be removed from the lobi store, or retired and its console added to the Voven.

[@canadensis8237]

Do you think the 4 piece console set is a way for them to test out how a 3 hanger carrier performs? I know for awhile now players have complained about some carriers not feeling like true carriers and talk of a third hanger is common. I wonder if this is a test for a possible 3 hanger carrier.

[@CasualSAB]

I agree, but hopefully you understand also why I often am comparing these event ships to more premium offerings. Because for anyone not playing in this month, it isn't free. As for the T5 Obelisk, the price absolutely should be lower now, but they want to monetize off people going for the set. And for the 4pc, yes, but my concern with that now is that some of the recent carrier powercreep caps out at buffing two bays of pets. If this is a new trend, need them to increase the cap for how many pets are buffed by things like Fleet Power Network Array and the Credence console.
