It looks rather interesting. A cross between the bugship and the Defiant is a surprise to be sure, but certainly a welcome one.
Also “commands entire squadrons of escorts in battle, coordinating them and forming the tip of the spear with its superior maneuverability and ability to strip enemy defenses before a devastating strafing run”? A vanguard Khitomer ship? Very, very intriguing. I will most defenitely be participating to earn this ship.
Although, I’m rather let down no Romulan designs were incorporated, with Rex being a Latin word similar to “King” and the Romulans being based off of the Romans. Still, it looks very nice.
Yeah, I was trying to parse out what that phrasing could mean. At a minimum, it sounds like it will have the “wingman” mechanic that was introduced in the Gamma expansion, with each wingman being…another Rex?
We have our answer, @GaiusGornicusCaesar@startrek.website - the Rex is a Jem’Hadar/Defiant mashup.

Maybe. The phrasing seems unclear on what the ability actually is. Hopefully it will be specified on whenever we get the actual blog post.
