So I saw a FB post that the stream tonight will feature Dave Blass (Production Designer from Picard to unveil the new ship, so given that tie in it's going to be good odds it'll either be the Duderstadt or the Shrike. I'd personally hope for the former as despite the Shrike's cool tricks, I wasn't a fan of the design.

I'm hoping for the Duderstadt too! More Picard ships the better!

It is indeed the Shrike and at the risk of sounding miserable, that's an easy pass for me. I'll go back to sleep and await the Dunder!

Well, they caught my interest when saying it is actually close to building a shadow vessel with all the customization options (colour free to choose).
Platform-wise it seems solid for a cannon build. The mechanics behind the portals will probably break a lot of things along the road but still something fresh and new. Reminded me a bit of Lost Ark, though lol.
Still, another ship I ain't gonna buy due to the prize tag to be expected.

Ten Forward Weekly 14/11/23
- Cryptic is just past the middle of development on the anniv update.
- Anniv update will have new episode and TFO.
- TFO is said to be different gameplay and narrative wise compared to what they normally do.
- Anniv ship is awesome, and Kael describes it as one of the prettiest ships they've ever made.
- Elite random TFOs will come with the anniv update. More details/blog closer to release of anniv update.
- Jarrod says we might see new elite TFO versions for some TFOs that currently don't have it, but he doesn't promise that will happen.
- Cryptic might do something with Moopsy, Kael says there's been discussions.
- Jarrod wants to get Patrick Stewart to do something for STO, have him do Locutus and Picard somehow.
- Jarrod will look into making single character unlocks from zen store bundles, like the Tommy gun, account unlocks. Says it would be possible in a lot of cases, but it depends on the reward type.
- Weapon vanity slots is something Cryptic wants to do, but there's time/resource issues behind the idea, and other stuff takes priority. Jarrod said its something they could put on their list of things to try to do.
- New ship the Shrike
- Design originally came from a mix of the Klingon and Romulan Birds of Prey, wanting to find something in the middle.
- Everyone on the Picard team from John Eaves to Doug Drexler took a pass on the Shrike to develop its final design. Final design was Doug Drexler mixed with Eric(didn't catch the last name)
- Dave Blass doesn't see how people think it looks like the Nerada.
- Shrike isn't a Dominion ship. Wouldn't make sense Vadic would be using a Dominion ship to do crimes. Wouldn't use your own car to rob a bank.
- Pod on the bottom was originally going to be the portal device instead of the deflector. Wanted it to look bolted on. Device was later moved to the pincer because it looked cooler.
- Cryptic got the show model for the Shrike to use for the in-game version. Mauricio added the ability for players to tint the material any color they want.
- Ship is an Intel Juggernaut
- Console is portal device. opens a portal in front of you, and target ship up to 15km away. The longer you leave it on, the longer the cooldown. Weapons fire goes through the portal, allowing you to target enemies that are further away than normal weapon ranges. Targetable torpedoes, hanger pets, tractor beams, and ships, can pass through the portal. Will likely change the portal to be locked out during the TFO prep phase.
- Trait is "Eclectic Collector of Armaments". The more different kinds of weapons you use the more bonus damage you get.
- Ship is infinity promo
- Cryptic is open to feedback if small tweaks to the portal device would make it easier to use.
- Comes with Lethean polarons to match the visuals of the weapons used on the show
- Traits works with mixed armament synergy. Damage will refresh the stacks from its own category but not from other categories.
- Event Maelstrom is on the slimmer side. Doesn't do as much damage, but doesn't take as much time to recharge.
- Pure kitbash ships that let you pick whatever parts you want wont happen due to the way ships are built in-game around skeletons, and each part needing to be fit for each skeleton. Also issues about visual scale between things like the different Connies.
- If Cryptic ever made the clump ship you would be unlikely to customize it in the normal ways due to the need to fit all the different material types on it.
- Someone asked about putting the Hegh'ta on the B'rel skeleton, Thomas says no plans due to scale issues.
- Cryptic has done work internally in regards to letting players disable other player's visuals. Big question is how much control can they give players in disabling effects, and issues in that the game doesn't always know where the power came from, so it can't detect to turn off another player's effect since it isn't registering any difference between you or someone else casting it. Also issues stemming from things being controlled at different levels. Like the server is what keeps track of who casts a power, while the client is the one that plays the effect.

https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comment..._weekly_12523/
- Kael has told Thomas there is some player interest in the Jamestown(a kitbash Lexington with a different kind of mission pod)
- Kael will look into Integrity Reality Labs selling STO 3D printed ships with NFTs(apparently Cryptic is aware of it)
- Adding Temerian parts to alien gen is about the same amount of work as making a whole playable species
- Kael will look into why the pink nanopulse weapons are missing from the winter store(at least according to someone in chat)
- Anniv ship is one of the prettiest ships Kael has seen
- There's been talk about doing more charity tie ins. Cryptic wasn't doing them for reasons Kael cant talk about, but those reasons are likely clearing up soon.
- Kael will bring up KDF lower decks DOFFs again
- Unlikely they will update ESD to match what was seen in Picard
- No current plants for a new Red Alert
- Not much internal push for a new reputation though Kael has brought it up a few times
- Moving STO to a new engine would take 2-3 years of work just to move over the game as is. Engine change and/or total graphics overhaul unlikely.
- Unlikely we will get playable Valkyrie small craft because small craft aren't really popular/Cryptic doesn't focus on it
- Kael thinks its more likely they could get Chris Pine to play Kirk in STO than Shatner, thinks the Kirk from SNW would be even more likely
- Kael has brought up unlocking all bridges for all ships because he thinks new alien ships being stuck with the default bridge sucks
- Cryptic is aware of the Gravity Kills bug, the team is working on it. The team can see the bug on live but they can't replicate it internally
- Promotion with Star Trek Infinite happened because Thomas is very good at reaching out to other licensors and making things happen
- Kael will ask about the Burnham braids hairstyle
- No update on the removed Klingon War missions being brought back
- There is a new lockbox with the anniv
- They haven't started planning anything for the 15 anniv yet

The mention of the new lockbox, wondering if we might see the Duderstadt coming in that as I was expecting it to be a promo ship over a lockbox.
Whenever it does appear, here's hoping they make it a cruiser and don't try to shoehorn it into an escort or yet another science ship.
