    This event/season is most definitely going to be an interesting one, with a playable Wolf 359, Fluidic Space Incursion 2, and the very pretty Rex Pilot Escort.

      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?

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