Bozeman's been replaced with Fed Fighter, for those that care.
@STT Community y'day you mentioned you wold check and get back to the forum regarding the Bozeman - not sure if you confirmed or denied that it existed / would be released / what went wrong?
Yep, it was replaced because I mentioned your catch to the team, and they realized that Bozeman wasn't supposed to be there this month. So, it was a bug after all. Thanks for letting me know!

That is interesting, it's been there since 1st of April. When I originally posted about it on here.
So this would have been included in an planned server update, well before that. And was clearly missed during a QA/QC checks. Since then.

They use fillers not infrequently. Them changing January and February after they'd been up comes to mind. First time it was an all new ship though.

Well played. And wasted time getting back up trying to get a new ship and you switch it in litereally the last minutte, when you had 3 months!!!!! to catch the so called bug.

If this was a glitch, bangate was a part of the ToS.
You guys ever wonder if your sleuthing and “catches” are doing more to harm the game than help it?
My money says a brand new ship in the arena awards would have changed daily game engagement.
But there clearly isn't a brand new ship on the way*. The pitchforks would have been out in force if people had stashed a bunch of schematics that then couldn't ever be used.
*or at least, not the Bozeman; the skirmish next week is going to give us the Enterprise-J
At least we’re getting the Doomsday machine in August
I saw that. On a side note, is anyone else having their Arena rewards preview like this. Mine's been doing this since the newest upgrade was installed. They are all distorted and squished to the left. You can see it behind the Doomsday Machine.

I'm inclined to say it means "Playable", as opposed to FB Doomsday. I'm very curious as to how it stacks up to its FBB self. No Evasion. No Shields. This could be interesting. Doomsday on Doomsday at least once for fun!

With respect, having the Doomsday Machine as a playable ship is even more absurd than sending the Federation Fighter on a voyage.
It is an automated machine that was never intended to be crewed.
And can you imagine the episode?
Captain's Log: We are heading to Planet Whatever for a very delicate diplomatic negotiation. Starfleet decided to ease tensions by sending in the Doomsday Machine...
There is no way Doomsday is playable. This was clearly put there as a dummy ship that they plan to swap out later.
Then why go to the trouble of creating ship art for the schematic icon, when they didn't do that for the Bozeman schematic? Besides, we already have the Gomtu as playable, which wasn't really a "ship" like the others.

Actually Gomtu was. It was an organic ship that was bonded telepathically with it crew, who died. It was suicidal even and Tam Elbrum went with it so they both had peace.
I agree about making ship schematics, just for a dummy. It feels wrong. I understand them not deciding so far out, especially if they are trying to see how an event comes together to tie it in or something. Couldn't they just make a place holder of say an empty dry dock as a standard placeholder? It wouldn't be so annoying as getting excited for something that isn't happening, we'd all know what it meant, and it would be a neat little in universe touch.

I could see something where FBB utilizes the same code as arena battles. And that code needs a ship object. And one of the things the ship object expects are schematics to exist. So when they added FBB they created dummy schematics because that's what was needed to add Doomsday Machine. And they just set those schematics to not in portal.
Why they then chose to put that as the rewards as a placeholder is a separate question.
I don't get this sudden issue with ship schematic placeholders. They've always previewed the next couple months and they have no shortage of options to choose from. Just more poor planning and lack of quality control.
It's simple. Next time they don't know what ship to give us for arena rewards, give us the Jem'hadar Flagship. It's never been the arena reward and it's long overdue.

Honestly, we don't have any plans for that at the moment, but thanks for sharing your opinion! We'll keep it in mind!
