That is one sleek looking ship! Can’t wait to see it’s specs and special console reveal next week!
Original from the Enterprise series
Cryptics 2409 versionIt reminds me a lot of the Normandy.
My Commander Shepard lookalike may have to find himself in this.
someone please pass Sargon a napkin for the drool….
i likey!
i wonder if this will be a z-store ship or lockbox? please not a lockbox. sick of lockboxes.
will it measure up to the JHAS?
next week….i can’t wait!

Q: (whamhammer1) If it is true that the game’s space combat engine cannot handle more than four weapons per side (front/rear)…
Dstahl: Let me stop you right there. We have a ship coming that breaks this rule, so it is not true.
Could this escort sport 5 forward weapons slot and two rears (I say two because three is being greedy)? Imagine 5 DHC or 4 DHC and a hyper torp! 😯

If it’s 5 front, 2 rear , but with only 4 tac slots, it’s not maximizing its damage potential =(
No more or less than any other ship with 4 tac consoles.

Which is in line with the max tac consoles that all tactical oriented c-store ships offer.my interest is waning. and here is why;
the oddy was a 3 pack. use to love them. i now have one left and it is seldom used.
the vesta was a 3 pack. i never wanted any of those, beleive it or not.
sounds like this andorian will be a 3 pack. will it be like the oddy with one ops, sci and a tac?
if you have to buy all 3 i will probably skip the andorian ships. if i can buy the “best” one only i may take a look.
not getting my hopes up for sure.
better ships always come and most ships i paid for are not currently in my inventory.
and it’s monday…..yuck.

If the Tac Kumari only has 4 tac consoles, but with a 5/2 layout, then it’s damage potential is only a sliver above that of a 5 tac 4/3 escort, making it decidedly not worth $50.
That being said, we’re just speculating right now, and who knows what the ship layouts are going to look like. I’m also thinking right now, if the turn rate is less than 13, then it’ll be a PvE focused ship like the Chel Grett (which is fine, and I won’t buy one, because honestly, PvE’s easy enough as it is, and in that situation, I’d rather have the HEC’s hangar. Being able to do ISE 15 seconds faster just doesn’t appeal to me).
okay so it is an escort, sci and eng 3 pack.

my interest is coming back on the kumari class.
i will be in no hurry. i will wait and see.
