Even if the console is meh I just absolutely love the mechanics behind it. Different passives from where you slot it and multiple abilities? I really hope we see many more consoles like this in the future.
After watching Picard Season 3, Episode 1, I was assuming the Eleos would be a Lock Box Ship but to my surprise is the next Winter Event Ship. Awesome can't wait.
Yeah! Hate the lockbox trend, really excited for this. And really hoping that the Echelon class is released like this or released into the Zen store. It's weird that STO hasn't made that yet; it's just the Sagan without the lower nacelles, which they already have in game.
The Eleos is actually looking like it'd be a REALLY decent DewSci platform, especially for a free ship. That combo of Intel/Miracle Worker is gonna go great for buffing both your weapons and certain Exotic Abilities. I would love to experiment with it as soon as I can!
As someone who enjoys science more than the other play styles, I find the two uni ltcmd seats more flexible than forced tac and eng seating like on the chekov. I appreciate the potential for high level science abilities this seating offers. I'm happy with this event reward ship, stat-wise. Console will be the true must-have; like it was with the vovin.
Woo it's a Scout ship, we need more of those, think there's only 6 in game! The console looks interesting, glad they're trying new things, and the Trait seems to be a support/Shield Tank hybrid, bit leery on that. Wonder if this is an attempt to make Shields relevant again, hope so. The Commander Intel and LtC Miracle Worker seating is going to make it a nice DEW boat or DewSci boat. Over all looks to be a nice little ship, especially since its free.
I like their innovativeness of the Eleos's console mechanics allowing versatility. The Eleos wouldn't had been my first pick but I figured STO would gain the ship one way or another & I don't hate this entry method. Time to grind & earn. It looks true to its tv form. Wasn't that Real-Merch sale earlier this year a better deal where we had to buy 6 or 7? The Andorian melee weapons look 'cool' too.
Quick thanks for your "Real Merch" discount code. Acquiring some TOS Battlestar Galactica ships. Today, the Basestar and the Viper(been out of stock for months) Thanks as always for the information, sir. Should curse you though for exposing me to this site though. Have bought quite a few ships....poor pocketbook. :)
After the Typhoon yet another banger for a free ship. Really looking forward to it! By the way, I have a build with 100k each facing shield. That trait's gonna go wild.
Do like these vids and the take on the latest news. This ship will probably be a fun ship to fly, doing normal content on and general space barbie. As Spencer says, won't stack up to the T6 ships available in the store but it is free, so we can't complain.
Not gona lie its a cute little ship and i will be able to diversify more Captains. Just got the Typhoon on Xbox today and i really hoped the winter event starts a bit later but well its winter so here it is.
Not an Elite task ship but it’s decent one.May be with the right ship console combination (of course after 2*T6 upgrade) it would become some sort of interesting control and dps output🤔 The ship console,totally deserves for opening a separate page though especially for tanks and tanky science ships.
I was hoping you would throw in a quick suggestion for the best/quickest winter activity for those of use that haven't played it in a while. (or for those that haven't played it ever) I'm sure it'll come up during the stream, though.
Any daily activity in winter wonderland counts. Some ppl prefer the ice race that used to be the only way back in the day - and you can do that at any time you like. I just do whatever is «next up» when I log in.
Since I don't care for the ship, I was going to skip it entirely. But since the Snowperson device and Moopsy sweaters are tempting I'll play STO for those.
Thanks for the video. This looks like a not so strong ss3 build. The cyclone for instance has a 5-2 weapons with an experimental slot. But i will be going after that console
To be honest I am glad its sci. Im not sure I would use anything else at this point lol. For casual event content I really like that extra 2nd deflector damage.
Like I said its a free event ship a free ship its good especially on paper still waiting on the trait and console tooltips but for an event ship its good it wont break the meta but its a good DEW/SCI platform.
The trait could be decent for someone just getting into science builds, especially considering its on a free ship. Is there any reference that translates what +30 skill translates to in terms of % damage boost, or like weapon spec into crit chance? Edit: Answering my own question, under captain skills it says 0.5%damage per skill point so like a 15% epg damage boost on the trait
@sora6748 I think you misread the question there are plenty of examples of consoles/traits that grant a skill bonus instead of a straight percent bonus.
I thought Eagle Moss went bankrupt. I see a lot confusion and people talking about another company buying their inventory giving the impression they were not longer being manufactured.
Eaglemoss did go bankrupt and the inventory was largely acquired by Master Replicas who had the license to sell that inventory up through earlier this year. That license has now expired and that remaining inventory is at retailers like Real Merch who are selling what's left. Fanhome has the license now and is making models of newer ships that Eaglemoss never did. They are planning to do new batches of a few of the popular Eaglemoss ship models in the coming years, but the vast majority of Eaglemoss models will likely never be made again.
I'm probably too reserved, as I like to keep my play style as lore friendly as possible. I indulge in the needed dailies for ships but there are some aspects of events which turn me off. For this, colored uniforms and weapons.. anyhow just me, cranky old me.
@@memitim171 i hope you're right. but back in the day i had a T5 titan and it had 18K shields, it couldn't even complete an advanced tfo and struggle with normal tfo's. Sto shields got me jaded lol.
Is it me or are Starfleet Engineers (i.e. dev team) not very good at BO stations on many of the ships? They always seem to place specialty stations that are somewhat useless on certain ships. I just do not get it. Oh well. I will still take a free ship! 🤷♂😁
Anybody getting kicked off STO frequently with a server timed out message? I can barely go a whole match without STO dropping like this, and sometimes come back to a 30 min man for being labeled as abandoning a match. Very frustrating. I log in through Steam. No other issues with any other MMO's or Steam games. Is this affecting anyone else?
->Free -> Has to invest at least three to five hours of real-world time to get (assuming 15 minutes times 20 days) Lol at my hourly rate I'd prefer to just drop 3k zen and *buy* it. Thankfully, there are other options. It's nice we're getting a new scout ship though!
@@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God That would be "straw person," homie. :D And that narrative would only apply if there weren't already half a dozen comments on the blog posts shrieking about it. No need to fabricate them.
Won't be replacing my T6 Fleet Nova (Rhode Island Refit). The stats are complete junk. If you even consider using a useful tac Boff. You gimp yourself on science. So torps are out of the question if you make it science primary. And you are forced into EPtAux 1 or 2 or ET 1 or 2. There simply is no middle ground anywhere. I can have torp spread 3 for my gravimetric torpedo on my Nova and still have good science. Hell even the Oberth can have torp spread 2 and not give up any science abilities. I will do the event. But won't ever use the ship.
I love how the DEI fanatic kept emphasizing "Snow-Person" then at the very end accidentally put Snow-Man... Such a weird religion. You don't need to be inclusive of inanimate objects...
Its an ugly scout ship super negative to me and its not an enormous dreadnought like the scimitar class double the super negative still im doing the event for the snow person module with 4 abilities

I honestly believe that when it comes to ship stats the team should work with you😊
Check out the romulan science dyson ship, similar seating to the chekov, but also has an experimental weapon slot.
Even if the console is meh I just absolutely love the mechanics behind it. Different passives from where you slot it and multiple abilities? I really hope we see many more consoles like this in the future.
that's the idea I suppose
I hope so

Over all looks to be a nice little ship, especially since its free.
Ship and console look neat. Historically they don't let Scouts use Aux cannons, but fingers crossed.
Hmmm....an Ushaan-tor set that delivers _emotional_ damage. Do they call your enemies names?
The slot specific aspect of the console is very interesting indeed.
Appreciate the news on this. Looks like i won't be doing the christmas event

Cute little ship. Can't wait to fly her
Nice little Dew-Sci ship. Thanks for the video!
Ss3 capable is nice. Sst might have pvp viability, especially in non intel driven builds. Could be a good addition as a stopgap to maintaining rsp
As part of the excelsior mafia, I was hoping for the Albena, but oh well...
I will use that trait on my support build for random adv and for supporting new players
Not an Elite task ship but it’s decent one.May be with the right ship console combination (of course after 2*T6 upgrade) it would become some sort of interesting control and dps output🤔
The ship console,totally deserves for opening a separate page though especially for tanks and tanky science ships.
Thank you!
I do like the Eleos, but I wish they went with the original hull scheme of gold, which has been declared as the actual colour of the ship for Picard.
I was hoping you would throw in a quick suggestion for the best/quickest winter activity for those of use that haven't played it in a while. (or for those that haven't played it ever)

I wonder if the NAR registration will be for all ships or specifically for this ship
Will we even get the NAR prefix?

I'm SO HAPPY!!!! I been wanted this ship and it's FREE!!!!! STOlife baby 🖖

We will find out tomorrow when the numbers come out.
@sora6748 I think you misread the question there are plenty of examples of consoles/traits that grant a skill bonus instead of a straight percent bonus.
I was thinking the console has some new dyanmics it must be DECA's work, then we get to the trait - and it's Bort shield simping - again.
Was hoping for a carrier or a fuck off dread myself but my DEWsci can use this I suppose, the console does look nice though.
Oh, that's cool (about the Eleos). Glad they're giving it to us rather than making it a lockbox ship.

Still no Kazon carrier? Another fed ship for dry dock? **sigh**
Causally buying out the event on day one. 😂

Cool!
That shield trait reeks of Borticus.
I was thinking the same but 20% of your max as regen is a *lot* of regen so it could be half decent for ships with tiny amounts of hull like this one.

The daily race takes like 2-3 minutes. So 40-60 minutes over 20 days.
"Snowperson"?
Really Cryptic? Read the room ...
Brace yourselves. The angriest dudes you knew in high school are coming to complain about the term “snowperson” being used.
Do you strawman everyone that doesn't agree with you?
nah..they f´ed up anyways xD used that term 2-3 times and then still called it a snowman in the end..

@@adamruiningeverything riiiight. Enjoy your social credit brownie points thumbs ups. I will admit the straw person was pretty funny though
It's not anger, it's ridicule. Use 'snowperson' in the real world, see how that works for you.
But this ship is free, the Chekov costs 30 bucks. So its a bit unfair to compare them, no?
Console has a problem ATM 😢
Yeah, just saw Playstation isn't even getting the Winter event today, been delayed
snowperson... * facepalm *
Eh, looks like a worthwhile grind a least. Not the best looking ship, but a decent, albeit fragile EPG platform.

These ugly sweaters are FANTASTIC
That trait is a waste of time. I don't need SHIELDS... What am I? A Vulcan!
Bort trait....
I have little faith that the console will work as advertised. Way too many variables changing functionality
It's ok. Nothing special and nothing to crappy.
i confess...i hope its garbage and i dont have to do it...😉
I love how the DEI fanatic kept emphasizing "Snow-Person" then at the very end accidentally put Snow-Man... Such a weird religion. You don't need to be inclusive of inanimate objects...
Yay! A "real" ship for a change.
I'm going to get it but not impressed.
Thank you for sharing all the winter events info. It's all crap, the truth had to be said. Not even worth it.
Its an ugly scout ship super negative to me and its not an enormous dreadnought like the scimitar class double the super negative still im doing the event for the snow person module with 4 abilities
going to get the ship and pry off the console and then forget it exist xD
