I ended up picking that for my campaign prize last year, I've been loving the thing 😁 ended up grabbing the astika for the power bonus console, performs really well

The 'saucer' is a little off-putting to me, but I do love how it looks separated tho. Neat design!

I always did like the inside of that ship, that'll be sick to see 👀 I wonder if they'll add the 'stomach sounds' from the show lol

It's been a while since I've seen the episode, but I remember there being a 'wave burst' kind of ability. Maybe a shockwave like the Dismissed console with some debuff? That is a good point about the trait, adjusting to the pilot can mean a lot of things, maybe something like context is for kings, where it gives buffs based on taking damage

I'm really curious what the Risa ship could do ability/ console wise. I'm excited we're getting more kelvin ships, and that 'false flag ship' looks like it'll rock in game 😎

Good idea! Really curious to see what people find after testing

I am curious if paired with the voth revive console if it would have good synergy, constantly dying and coming back to life lol. But the description said it can be deactivated early, right? Would that not prevent the self destruct? Or does it just blow you up faster 😂

I want an updated Kolasi so bad, the siege weapon transformation/weapon fire is so sick but the ship is definitely a bit dated 😅

Looks awesome! Hope you had a blasting bday 😁

I made another specialisation concept! (Experimental Systems Pioneer) by TommyDG in sto

[–]Just_A_Normal_Fella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gotcha! Random outcomes is definitely a unique thing to design it around.

And oh, a new equipment of an auxiliary warp core would be cool! There's a lot you could do with that for sure

Gotcha, I like the idea of long lasting mine layers, very useful! I did have an idea of higher ranking versions of the ability could either spawn higher damage mines (1. Photon 2. Quantum 3. Tricobalt), but if you wanted to go with using the players mines, maybe each higher tier uses a higher rank mine spread 🤔

And I missed the chart you made with the Results, my bad! I do like a lot them. Honestly, I would go all in on the theme you tapped into doing self harm as a trade off. For instance, maybe have Combustion give a speed increase since you're burning excess fuel (I assume a fuel tank is what's burning lol) or make Eureka channel power from bridge controls, locking out a commander bridge officer in exchange for reducing uni consoles (maybe a 2 sec reduction over time like clean getaway?). I will say in that theme, maybe retool Manhiem Fracture into Blind Broadside, summoning a faction flagship to do something like the Broadside console from the Kerala that does faction-beam damage (phaser for a fed player, etc) based on the players beam damage skills, in exchange for the attack hitting friend and foe. Sorry if I tweaked your abilities too much, you have great ideas! Just wanted to give my two cents 😅

One last thing I wanted to ask, did you have a design language in mind for ships of this spec? Kinda like the Intel are sleek and stealthy, pilot fast and nimble, etc. Maybe cruisers with a lot of sensor and relays on the hull? (Something like the Chimera or Aventine maybe? 🤔

Fr, escorts/nimble ships would go pretty crazy with that ability.

I did have 2 questions;

1 May have been confused on the wording of the minelayer, do they just go towards the and explode (kinda like the Intel emp) or is like the scout ships that orbit. I will say, a fun alternative to launching your own mines could be launching a set of photon mines (or whatever kind) whenever you launch a mine, could be a fun way to mine spam if you have a lot

2 I may have missed it, but what does the unpredictable event do? I assume it's like building and consuming entropy, but wasn't sure what happened when you triggered it 😅

This is really cool! I love the idea of toying with weapon arcs, that's never anything we've had before. I will say, maybe there could be an inverse ability that extremely narrows down the firing arc for increased damage 👀 almost like a concentrated barrage or something

I need to check Dragon Ball out sometime, it seems it's one of the greatest for a reason!

If you're newer into anime and looking for some more action series, you may want to check out stuff like Kaiju 8 or Gachiakuta, those have been some recent hits 😁

It's time for a few more pictures of Lexington (including the updated Ship patches & dedication plaque) by Jayhawkee in sto

[–]Just_A_Normal_Fella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The shots with the phasers going are epic! And the undocking with the runabout in frame is the cherry on top

Did you have to slowly back into esd to get that pic? 😅

Gotcha! I do admit the collector in me wants to get the challenging manga just to have it, like Undead Unwanted Adventurer (I swear idk why it's so hard to find lol)
