Thanks, I must’ve missed that. The effect looks cool, seems like they’ve copied the look of the 60th Anniversary thing that pops up ahead of SNW episodes this season, but without the part where it would cycle the ship’s appearance through that of the different hero ships, which I was worried it might do.
This is the thing I was referring to. Maybe it is meant to symbolize Pride colors, but that mostly just looks blue to me. Regardless, I think it's a cool visual, I like it better than the default slipstream VFX. Mostly it reminds me of the poster for Star Trek TMP, or the three colors of Starfleet departments.
I just thought since they're adding these holo-disguise things that turn our ship into one of three hero ships, that maybe the slipstream vanity thing would do the same, I'm glad it's not. Though I notice the holo-disguises literally have "vanity weapons" as part of their effects. Really wish they'd make that a full feature. Even if we could only swap weapon visuals to another weapon of the same damage type and class, that would be more than enough. Like I could switch my Prolonged Engagement torpedo launcher to a quantum torp visual, and equip slightly discolored set weapons like the Terran Task Force and Trilithium phasers with a fixed uniform orange color.
I know what you're referring to and it's not that, it's literally just the colors from the pride flag turned into a slipstream effect
people have been asking for something like that since they released a video of different ships flying with different flag effects earlier in the year so they put all the colors together into one effect
It really ain't it tho. It is emulating the 60th anni intro, as evident by comparing the intro and the visuals, as well as the text in the blog announcement and item description.
For a pride slipstream, it needs even more colours and actually try to attempt to emulate the rainbow. Given the past few pride-themed items, they would also probably pair the rainbow one with a trans flag themed one. The blog art you put above has two extra flags-inspired trails too
I'd like to see them release pride-themed slipstream vanities too, but this is not an attempt at that.
Pretty sure it is the warp animation originally intended for the Motion Picture. They ended up going with a simpler, easier to achieve effect, but the original plan was an effect that I think was supposed to look like this
Sigma Strategem:
Adjustments were made to this console to alleviate any issue players were seeing where their flight speed was reduced when using this console.
Weren't there are also issues with crit chance and firing cycle haste being reduced as well?
60th Anniversary Vanity Slipstream:
I've been away from the sub/news for a little. What's this all about?
Console still didn't have the whole "any omni update" and the rest that came with it... Don't tell me they're going to delay this until the Herald hunt event?
Expect it delayed until then. We are now delayed with this flagship/60th on PS, and then atleast one week in between 60th and Halloween event, maybe not u til Nov before we see the Herald/omni and everything PC got since July of this year.
Yeah, but I haven’t bought it while I wait for it to be fixed. No point giving them more work to give me the ships manually when I can just be patient.

I wonder whether that's hinting at an upcoming bigger rework of the lock box system
