Here you go, as promised - full detailed specs on the upcoming Advanced Odyssey and Bortasqu' ships. We are hoping to get these ships onto tribble Monday or Tuesday next week for testing and feedback. As always, all stats are not final, and subject to change at any time.

Overview:

• There are 3 new Advanced Odyssey Cruisers and 3 New Bortasqu' Battle Cruisers.
• No, I do not have any info for you on pricing, but they will be C-Store ships.
• All ships that separate will not allow you to fly the pet crafts (like MVAM). Part of the reason is because we don’t want to take away that special ability from the MVAM Prometheus. Also, note when you separate a ship, you don’t really change what you are - you only change stats. So in the case of the Odyssey escort or the Bortasqu BoP, if you were to fly it, you would keep all your weapons, and not gain any of the weapons or abilities that the escort pet gains. That’s just how the system works.
• All ships that separate use new technology that allows you to separate while flying. Also, all re-docking animations will look exactly like your ship (a marked improvement on how the galaxy saucer sep and MVAM works). This new technology will only work on these new ships for now. We will eventually start working on upgrading the other ships once we are certain this new tech is solid.
• Each ship comes with its own special console. These consoles may be equipped on any of their sister ships, in any console slot. They may not be equipped on the standard models or any other ship. Each is part of a Set. The 3 piece set bonus:
  • Decreases the recharge time of the set console abilities
  • Bonus Skill Stats (Odyssey: Starship EPS, Starship Hull Plating, and Starship Armor Reinforcements Skills. Bortasqu': Starship Targeting Systems, Starship Energy Weapon Specialization, and Starship Energy Weapon Specialization Skills)
  • Slight increases your ship's Turn Rate.

Which makes it being carried by a mothership of some kind.. all the more odd, all in all.

But it is indeed an escort, and pretty loaded:
It has quad phaser cannons, phaser turrets, quantum torpedoes, and a point defense system.
Here are the stats for the Odyssey and BortaS variants:

Considering the lack of new escorts, they really should release it as a separate ship.

Note the bold red bit near the top. Wont be flyable as part of the Odyssey.

As a separate ship purchase? Who knows?
