STO....


Having a look at the charity support bundles I went with for the $5(€4.50) 'bundle', which also included the $1 items. Not out of choice but because the even better deal, the $10 bundle was sold out for a second time!



Pink Vanity Pack

Pink Risian Lunarian Caracal

Pink Ribbon Badge
-The Alliance has given you special dispensation to replace your rank badge with this show of support for the cause.


Unpacking and claiming the ships leaves me with another cannon build to faff about with. Cannon builds do seem to the the order of the day. Fingers crossed the winter event ship won't be similar.
I think I've got a bit of a handle on cannon based ships but not enough to be really comfortable let alone knowledgeable. For my new Shran class ship I stayed with my previous 'cannon build' bridge officers. Which worked out well for ease of use.


I'm sure there are players out there with knowledge screaming that I'm not using the Pilot specialisation for bridge officers/stations; But what I had on other builds works here, it's not perfect, it's not min/maxed, but it works. Not as well as on my previous cannon builds but well enough.

As for the ship equipment; Well it was all based on what I could scrape up from the bottom of the inventory (usual fit mouse-over in the vid below). Not a good or thought out fit but the best of what was left over, for what it's worth....


The Shran class in action makes me think it looks a lot like a classic 80's Cylon raider.
I really like the ships boost/barrel-roll abilities.


For a cannon build it's great to draw in enemies, boost backwards and blast them with cannons.


As for the ships console ability(Console - Universal - Graviton Displacer). I think it's my new favorite 'super weapon'. Like a DPS'ing hoover in space. A portable tornado.


I claimed the KDF version of the ship, the T6 M'Chla Pilot Bird of Prey on my Klingon aligned (non-used)main. I've not messed about with a fit there and may not but good to have it. Likewise the Shran on my other Federation characters. It might be more apt on one or more but that'll be down to how I perceive a character along a roleplay line rather than the ship being better in a practical way(character using only federation starfleet ships and only phaser tech etc). All my alts are in such a mess.

The Pink vanity shield on the T6 M'Chla looks like it has a nervous system in some sort of x-ray.


I'm no discovery fan but the stats are great in game. The ship in looks reminds me of a death glider from Stargate.

Anyway the fit and first use of the T6 Shran in the Kobayashi Maru event(fit mouse-over was done after the Maru run which is why the mastery shows activity).
