So, with the release of Wave 20, and a second round of (not complete, but not devoid of) disappointment, I found this little gem of a beast. I can tell that this next upcoming wave has the Bajoran Lightship, Dreadnought, the Robinson, and something that looks like a Borg Sphere. I Was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on what we might be seeing out of these packs, as well as some of the stuff releasing in further Waves, beyond wave 21.

Any upgrades you hope to see, any abilities? What factions will he Dreadnaught and Robinson be? What will the Dreadnaught's stats look like? How about the Andorian Warship? What will the Kumari be packing?

its not Borg, its the Xindi Death Star. Just what this game needed another super weapon/ship.
Dreadnought should be Dominion. Robinson should be neat.

Why Dominion for the Dreadnaught? From the episode synopsis, it looks like it was a Maquis thing.

The Robinson confuses me... is it going to be a Dominion ship, or a Federation one? Or the Named is Federation, and the Dominion is generic? With another Jadzia, Sisko, Garek, maybe even a Dukat?

As for the Xindi weapon, it shouldn't bee too crazy... its anti-ship defenses were next to nothing, it was just too big to hurt (with a firepower of 2). So maybe a Hull of 6+, firepower of no more than 3, agility at MOST 1, and a Shields of maybe 3.

I will probably have a single use power weapon, like transphasic torpedoes or the thaloron weapon.

Dreadnought will probably be Dominion because it was Cardassian and all of their ships have been part of the Dominion faction. It is possible it will be Dominion/Independent, for the Maquis.

I am hoping that the Robinson will come with 3 ship cards, one named Dominion, one generic Dominion, Robinson for the Federation. However my hopes are not high. It was part of the Dominion before it crashed in "The Ship". There is enough stuff from that episode to give us some Dominion stuff in the pack too. Hopefully it is at least duel faction so we don't have to pay a faction penalty for it. Though in reality no one used Jem Hadar Attack ships in OPs, so we will probably only see this one in casual play and there we can do what ever we want anyway.

If it's Federation... It would almost be another defiant esque class, open to all kinds of fun upgrades... lol

Thoughts on the Andorian ships?

Would be interesting if the Robinson is federation if can take all of those fun shield upgrades

As for the Andorian ship I expect something similar to the D7 and the Somraw.

I'm hoping we see a certain vorta and her two lovely friends. And I'm hoping she rocks the house in captain skill and options... ATM Dominion are very limited with decent captains, what with multiples of the 'dynamic duo' of Dukat and Weyoun.



Kilana
Skill 7
"I brought snacks and tatas" Any ship with a male captain attempting to perform any action or interaction with a ship carrying Kilana must roll an attack dice and only on a crit may it do so, if sucessful, the opposing ship does so at half captaincy skill... (basically the same skill the two lasses in the Lamborghini used in Cannonball Run...).

She is definitely my favorite vorta, she posses some of the Dominion's best assets It would be really great if she was in the Robinson. I think they used a head shot of her in one of the other Dominion expansions, but it wasn't a very flattering picture
