Thanks for these great ships Cryptic. I love the Boff layout with Lt.Cmdr Sci and was looking for a sci-oriented cruiser like this for some time. I especially appreciate giving them their own bridges, so thanks for that as well it's a nice detail for us players. All in all it's a GREAT anniversary present and I'll have so fun times with these.

For those who say that the Ambassador is "meh" or not worthy my advice is to take a one more good look at the ship, it's stats, layout and role. If played as it's suposed to be the Ambassador is a real gem. I find it most usefull and durable so far. It's a proper Support Crusier and it plays it's role really good. I'm planing to make much use of this ship.

I also supose we'll see a Z-Store variant with 10 consoles in the near future. I only ask Cryptic if this happens the one extra console to be a sci. one. I'll be owning that as soon as it comes!

I'd Really like the bridge from Yesterday's Enterprise as well, we need more special bridge as well

Hola! I LOVE the new Ambassador-class ship! Probably one of the most detailed ships in-game! This has definitely been the one ship I have been waiting for since I started playing STO and now that it's in-game I can't pull myself away from it! It's just so PERFECT. Well almost...

But being a nitpick... the impulse engine should be blue!

Skip to about 1:18 on the video.

Anyway. HUGE thank you to the devs who put this thing together! It's been worth the wait! Not only is the ship great, but the mission to get it is amazing too! I've run it about half a dozen times because it's just so well put together. It's the perfect balance of ground RPG and space combat! Not to mention all the voice acting, ESPECIALLY the wonderful Denise Crosby!

Thanks again devs! And um... let's get that impulse engine color changed, mmkay?

My Tac, Thul Sarvour is Lv 34 Captain w/ 5 ships and 3 Ship slots remaining/open. Account is f2p currently. Will he gain any ship slots at promotion to Rear Adm, LH? An important factor in my decision to uncrate/launch the t3/Cdr Ambassador or not, as the 2 Ambassadors plus the Chel Grett make 3.

Perhaps pwebranflakes can correct what i think the f2p metric is:
Account F2P / Gold
Tier 1 - 2 ships / 2 ships Lt
Tier 2 - 4 ships / 4 ships LtCdr
Tier 3 - 6 ships / 6 ships Cdr
Tier 4 - 8 ships / 8 ships Cpt
Tier 5 - 10 ships / 10 ships Rear Adm,LH
Tier 5 - 10 ships / 12 ships Vice Adm

A less important question yet one that concerns many; what else can we do w/ the t3 Ambassadors that are superfluous to t5 characters?

use them in my upcoming "TNG wars" themed pvp match, look for it in the pvp forums sometime around after the 3 year event for details.

itll be fun
