Aetherian Revelation First Impression | Star Trek Online 

I think it's ok to be overly negative as far as this ship is concerned, Stu.

you had me until i heard "lockbox"

Every time they bring out ships like this it makes me feel more and more like the devs are out of touch with their own game and how it's played.

I am fine with lockbox ships being extremely mediocre, then no one has to buy them.

Upside, no FOMO here. ETA: "Definitely A Ship." :P

The setup is more like a free event ship.

It could. Be just me , but it seems like the ship doesn't know what it wants to be The basic stats screams tank But the rest of it, I'm not sure. Really supports being a tank

11:12 You're not wrong, I do a lot of EPG DPS runs and I for the life of me cannot understand what the thinking is behind this ship. It's clearly meant to be a science tank, but it also doesn't have the science tank essentials, namely a command seat for suppression barrage. That console just feels like a weird play on Feedback Pulse that also doesn't help with tanking all that much, and that console just sounds like you can use it to troll more than anything else. It's a pretty ship, but stats wise, they really dropped the ball with this one unfortunately.

Honestly i have reached the point of 'i dont care about any new lockbox ships they add', Recently I have gone back and started playing around with some of my old T5 and T5 Fleet ships and have been having a ton of fun revisiting some of the unique ones that dont really have an equivalent, or an equivalent that i dont care to pick up on the C-Store.

Thanks for the update Stu. Yet one more ship that fits in those Lockboxes... Be nice to see some of these, good or bad, going to the Pheonix Store or even just on the C Store. But hey, lets feed the gamble box! Have a good one Stu!

bought an EPIC store game with your creator tag, ty for the continued content

Well, it looks really cool. Kinda feels like a cruiser that got lost and wound up in the Science department though.

I am excited for this one. Great design for variant shield space Barbie. Sci Tank sounds like a fun concept to play with. This looks PRIME for a devastating SS/MAS/NSB Build using those newer Sci consoles for Phaser damage. I know most Sci ships are best for anomalies, but I think this one goes pew-pew. ❤

Great video dude!

It's a star destroyer

A lockbox? And I wasn't that enthusiastic before you said that

You say they really dropped the ball on this one, you are not wrong, however have you ever thought about looking at it from a different perspective, perhaps this ship is "terrible" because most players including myself are used to the "up close and personal slap the enemy upside the face before they even knew what hit them" or the "cloak like im running scared but in reality you are about to meet your maker" Look at it this way, perhaps it is meant to be a long range annihalator type destroyer to be kept at distance to deal as much damage as possible given its weakness.

Gotta use a lot of consoles with turn rate for this ship. I think they should have made this a carrier or at least a flight deck.

hmm sounds like this might be a hull and shield tank ship....if its possible for both to run at the same time.

It looks cool, that's something at least.

If that console were in the lockbox singly and people could put it into the Exchange it might have been interesting to pick up there. With it being tied to a cool looking but extremely poorly balanced lockbox ship it is just not worth the hassle or the EC and certainly not worth the Zen.

So its feedback pulse but you pick who you hit

Honestly such a pretty ship, such a cool astatic to add to star trek. It looks almost like something from the forerunners from halo

Its because of ships like these its either Muds Bundles/C Store/ or Event ships and what do they have in common account wide unlock, lockbox for anything other than ships I may dabble but was burned too much chasing my one and only epic so moving on either the muds released next month or summer ship will be the next step for people. - I do niche and this is too niche for me.

sci tanks are fun for eng

What else comes in the box? Any new beam weapons? Also, another source of Proton damage. Which is a positive. But, the way you deal that Proton dmg isn't good.

Since I already have an infinity coupon from the free giveaway a while, I think I might get this. At the very least it should sell

This whole thing has me a bit perplexed. The console sounds like it's just the Feedback Pulse III BOFF ability, except it does a different damage type, I guess. And putting a ship associated with a STO-original species in a lockbox feels a little odd. Lockbox ships are generally ships from the shows and movies, or at least inspired by them in some cases, which makes sense from a business perspective, since people are more likely to gamble for their favourite ships from the shows. I know the T5 Lukari N'Kaam is also a lockbox ship, but even then... I don't know, the Aetherians are still so new that I'd struggle to imagine anyone rolling a T6 Prize Pack and picking this over popular TV ships like the Protostar or Excelsior II, even _if_ the Revelation's stats were better. Plus, its been forever since a new ship was added to the Lobi store - personally I'd think it would make more business sense to put this there, which could still incentivise people to open boxes for the Lobi, while not throwing it into a list where 99% of people are going to be more interested in the other options.

It was a no straight away for me as it is in the gambling box. This is another round of Dyson ships, subpar console and trait, more space barbie than anything else. Depending on the passives, the console may have some use on a tank build, but then you'd have to get the ship from the exchange or lock box. The recent ships (Dyson, Connie II, this one) have all been very underwhelming. Explains why they are putting so much effort into building up the rewards on the events as the new content just isn't up to what it was. The only thing I can hope for is the next season that drops, the mission isn't as stupidly long as the last one that dropped. Also hope Alienware does a decent giveaway for it.

Damn I was hoping this would be the new summer event ship... Oh well

if it was like the Compiler then I'd not complain.

And its a lootbox ship; nope. Maybe next year's event ship.

It could be noted that the console plays into the Proton damage style seen reappear recently. Maybe soon Proton will be more viable than Tetryon. (Just kidding. Cotton Ball damage beats Tetryon)

They say "science" JUST because 3x3 weapons slots, Defector & Scanner. STO needs to stop selling ships as loadouts, as we already have what we want. AND switch to ships being just models or skins for our current ships, like outfits. I love my Silik FDAC, but would love to slap a ship costume of the Nebby, Intrepid, or 1701-A Refit on it. As it is I use the Holographic items to change the look up.

Yeah. I saw the post earlier and I was just like...meh. Thanks for the video!

Straight to exchange & drop like a stone 🖖

Another gamble box yay😢 The ship just doesnt seem worth that kind of cash. Maybe its just me....

Another lockbox ship. Fantastic.

gamble box equals a pass for me. Good luck to those who want it.

Does anyone actually use Subsystem targeting. Every Sci ship has it. Yet its so lackluster, its pointless.

At least they didn’t make the console a 1 up of the DPRM. Whew ! 😅

Star Destroyer?

Yeah should've been a c-store Mudd ship (not a mudd's bundle ship) rather than a lockbox because it seems far, far more experimental solo "space barbie playtime" than are you lucky punk boxes usual quality.

I don't fly sci, so this is a hard pass for me, but it does look and sound kinda cool!

are you sure it's new that feels more like a defiant with a inferienced skin

The only good thing about the ships coming out lately is we are saving money by not getting them.

I miss Jonathan...

Was this ship meant to be a science tank? Well, not many people play it. 3/3 weapons, 7 turn rate, it couldn't be worse. Intel/MW is not a good fit for a sci build, on the other hand, you'll still want to play science abilities on those seats. That another eng seat is not that bad here , use Reverse Shield Polarity. If I wanted to make a science tank, as a dev I'd take another ship, the Borg ship from PIC season 2. And I'd give her an invulnerable front shield (like in the TV show), so it wouldn't matter so much she's slow. Most NPCs can't flank. And then I would try to beat Turei Maru (Korfez with Turei) with her :) or at least solo ISE.

I fall under that "really into EPG" crowd. It's expensive and taxing like torpeees but I use a lot of cannabis products so... Pretty screen. Oooo......ahhhh..... KABLOOIE!!!! That's just good times. While that's a sturdy science ship as a ship overall and as a lock box ship? No thanks. It seems way more "event" than "lock box". Overall extremely low interest. As in if given to me as a gift or if I won one, I'd just put it on the exchange and I love control stuff.

I like science ships but yeah this doesn't appeal

1. It's a lockbox ship. so I don't care. 2. It's not a giant floating pyramid, so I don't care.

You're being way to kind to this ship, especially considering this is a pricey Lockbox Ship. The bridge layout is bad For a Science Vessel she'll handle terribly. The damage reflect gimmick is going to be funny considering how much Cryptic nerfed such gameplay many years ago. And +Dmg Resistance is pointless because of Diminishing Returns. I still hold it against Crytpic for nerfing Feedback Pulse into the ground, even after introducing an event ship with literally "Improved Feedback Pulse" trait. There's a number of good account unlock, fleet t6 science ships with easier, cheaper access than this ship.

Pass!!!

Why is a new race in a lock box? Edit This ship sounds meh. Honestly this should been C store. Reserve judgement until stuff on it. It's not good. First ship from DCA era and it's not good at all.

An absolutely terrible ship to be put in the infinity lockbox... No need to worry about being negative towards it when that's the correct response. Terrible ship, terrible console, terrible trait.

Useless traits on mediocre ships. If it were not for the events, I would be taking a long break from the game.

not realy a ship that would interest me, sci ships that are that slow, even tho have alot hull but still... thx for the vid, the more u know ^^

I don't trust them Aetherians...

Doesn't look like a ship. It looks more like a modern building. How big is it?

Another ship with awful equipment/traits? All the ships lately have been bad. Why make a lockbox ship with a niche appeal? Surely these should be made to have a wide appeal. Stick the niche stuff in the store...

Another science and intel ship. So I instantly lost interest. All in all, the picture on the left is going to be the front. Disappointing all around.

Major meh ship. Not sure what they were thinking here.

it doesnt look good to me..... edit: my sto ship build follows the teachings of Grand Admiral Minsc. you point I fire my phasers. this ship nope

Yeah, pretty much a horrible ship. They should have added more Rom or kdf ships.

New race ship and its paywalled, and it's meh. Zzzzz

3-3, poor Boff layout, cramped console layout with a trash trait and console. Hard pass.
