So third ship from dominion wars

Achilles maybe?

Best guesses right now

Ship one premonition(probable, maybe temporal juggernaut or more likely temporal assault cruiser since I don’t think we have one of those in the sovereign family yet)

Ship 2: maybe the party piece of the bundle, as a flyable t6 fighter squadron since a dev did say they saw aT6 squadron ship in test several months ago but it wasn’t ready for prime time yet. Other boring option is a typhoon class(as either a strike wing escort or something new as a flight deck escort, like the tac focused version of a FDC)

Ship 3: almost definitely the Achilles class, probably as a variant of the star cruiser given its looks, or its own thing since it’s supposed to be smaller, but it wouldn’t be the first time STO has messed with size(or maybe a Norway/Valdres now that I think about it)

It would be a real surprise if the Premonition wasn't a science dreadnought.

Yea, but they have done that before, the Sirius model was almost purpose built to be a science dreadnought(I mean come on, the secondary deflector is right there in the model), they made it a boring command dreadnought instead

There's also the fact that there are only like 2 sci-dreds that can be directly purchased. And I wonder if they will also come with 25c skins.

The cardi one and what’s the other one?

Unless you mean in mudds bundles(the merian and collector)

It was one of the scimitars or something, either way, I would love a new C-store Sci-dreadnought

Damar, Collector and Merian, those are the ones. The funny part about the latter two is that actual science builds on them don't work as well as they do on a frickin' event ship, the Compiler (LE: sorry, early morning brain fog) (the Damar's full Intel isn't brilliant either, but 3k zen without any discount will, at least, unlock a solid DEW trait and Spiral Waves).

The premonition wasn't a dreadnought in Armada so why would they make it a dreadnought in STO? If it's staying true to the original game then it would probably be some science cruiser or science ship of some kind e.g. spearhead. The Typhon is already the obvious pick for a dreadnought/carrier and the Achilles the escort/destroyer

In all fairness the Assimilator in STO right now was a just a Cruiser in Armada 1 and a Dreadnought Carrier in STO.
