New 4* in Shipyard- Harrad-Sar's Barge

W.W. Carlisle

I hit a bundle of schematics in a single portal and spotted this while upgrading my T'Ong.



This is the Orion ship from Enterprise's "Bound". Lord knows I've watched the episode enough to recognize it. It's a top five favorite of mine.
Are we getting two new Orion ships next week?

Glad to see they added another freighter! Oh wait. It’s a 4* as well. Pain point continues

Why do you think we're getting two new ships next week? This ship is in the rewards for the event; it looks like the 5* feature ship will be the ISS Enterprise (while the 3* ship will be the Terran Empire Constellation Class ).

I will grip for a moment and say that it's pretty annoying that both "freighter" trait-ed ships are 4*. It tasks me...

I see that @EnderW beat me to it on this one:

Then why are they talking about the Viridian, which is a Mega warship from Disco, season 3, and giving us a merchant vessel from Enterprise? Giving us the Viridian would make way more sense.
Something is very off about that to me.
The fact that neither D'Kora has freighter is ridiculous to me. The only Ferengi ships we have and they don't haul freight. No Ferengi would work on a ship he can't profit from.

Short answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Slightly longer answer: They mention a lot in the story lines that never make it into the game. I think they've mentioned the Romulan Bird of Prey in multiple events and they seem determined to not put it in the game. Which just leads me back to: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

So get ready for our next, new, game-changing feature called Ship Retrieval which will be preceded by an almost-comprehensive audit of all ship traits!

I wonder how it competes with the Borg Sphere. 6s boarding is interesting. The -2 evasion makes it a sitting duck. The 10s nuke can probably end the battle, but you might have to go manual so you last that long.

Killy would also be a major liability aboard. I usually pair her with Ardra as a countermeasure, but not on this thing.
