    No every special ability has become a console slot, not a device. So doing this for the Galaxy and not the others, would simply be unfair.

    What I will say, is that it makes no sense to make a console based around cloaking, buffed by a tactical skill (Stealth) but placed in an Engineering Slot.

    Isn't it a 'universal console' equippable only by the Gal-X?. If that's the case, move it to a Sci slot (or Tac Slot, but that would be silly).

    These abilities are being turned into consoles which is good because it gives people more options (use it or not) and the trade off of a console slot works towards balance. If they made these things devices there wouldn't be any real trade off. That would be broken and broken isn't fun.

    No to devices, please.

    What everyone else said.

    On top of that... it's been how long since the non-combat cloak came out? And, I am still being decloaked whenever one of my bridge officers wants to talk to me?

    Add that one to the list of a thousand bugs that have been around forever and Cryptic has no intention of ever fixing.

    Yeah, they fixed that one by labeling it a feature. Since it's working as they claim it is intended, it's no longer a bug... right:rolleyes:?

    The cloak is a UNIVERSAL console now. You get a 3rd tactical console back for having this option. Move your cloak to the useless sci slot and BAM.. a ship that hits as hard as the sovereign... but has cloak and a lance. This, in my opinion, makes the X the best cruiser in starfleet hands down.

    I am elated at this change, as it once was a joke.. now it is a beast.

    I love my ship.

    It also makes no sense to make the cloaking skill tactical, or science powers engineering, or engineering powers science but that seems the be the theme of the day.

    the problem is that the klingons can cloak all their ships and none of them have to have a console to do it so why does the dreadnaught and the defiant refit have to have one and besides its called a cloaking device nor a cloaking console so it only makes since for it to be a device

    Klinks actually pay for their cloak in other ways. The current Fed ships that can cloak only lost a console slot which they are getting back and now they have the option to use it or use something else. Options are good. I wouldn't suggest being caught up in the words "device" or "console". They could just as easily have been called a cloak regulating capacitor and where the hell would that have gone, lol.

    Do klingons use cloaking as a console? 'Nuff said.

    Didn't see the few posts before mine so I'll add this. Yes Klingon ships lose in some ways to make up for cloak.... but they gain in other ways. Better turn rates, more aggressive builds. I play both sides rather heavily, and I never feel underpowered in a klingon ship for lack of a console as a cruiser. Their cruisers are better overall. Its not huge, but it is something.

    its a crime that the galaxy R got an additional 'worthless' as you put it science console, wile the galaxy X got that oh so important tactical console. the galaxy R was a joke befor too, now even more so, it got a worthless console wile every other ship got the buff of a useful consoles.
