A plea for the Fleet VoQuv

cmdrskyfaller

Devs,


Please make the Fleet VoQuv into what the Voquv itself should be : A carrier first.

Make it a fair trade of things.

Rather than giving it extra shield/hull hitpoints and an extra console, trade those two things in for a change in the BOFF layout:

Lt Cmdr Tactical
Lt Cmdr Science
Lt Cmdr Engineering
Cmdr Universal

Note the only change is the increase in the science station to lt cmdr, and the conversion of the cmdr slot to a universal slot.

Trade one fore and one aft weapon slot to gain two more hangar bays. Fleet Voquv would have four hangar bays.

Trade one tactical console for an extra engineering console.


The end result would be a true carrier:

2 fore, 2 aft weapon slots.
4 science consoles
4 engineering consoles
1 tactical console
4 hangar bays
4 device slots

BOFF Stations:
Lt Cmdr Tactical
Lt Cmdr Science
Lt Cmdr Engineering
Cmdr Universal

Nothing else changes. The Fleet VoQuv would have the same shield/hull hitpoints as the basic version (and any other modifiers and stuff).

(though if you're feeling kind it would be very nice to have a new costume option for the ship.. slightly different nacelles/nose/hull options).


This is the last and only chance this ship will get to become a true carrier. Make it happen this coming season patch ...because once its done it wont ever be changed.

Hell I'd settle for just the normal Vo'quv with 3 hangar bays.

Not how Fleet ships work. Every Fleet ship has more hull, more shields, and an extra console over its T5 counterpart. There are no other changes.

I would've been happy with just the tenth console being tac personally.

The point is to make the fleet voquv a true carrier. A ship that uses its pets as its weapons not a science ship in terms of armaments with cruiser equivalent hull than has damage-add-on pets.

I would like the Fleet Voquv to BE a pet user primarily. That is why it loses its weapon hardpoints. 2 fore and 2 aft are more than plenty to be used as support (subsystem attacks mainly) and to defend itself from heavy torpedos and such. All offensive power of a Fleet Carrier should be the pets not its own guns.

I would have nothing against a more focused carrier as you're proposing if it were not for the terrible lag I'm experiencing with a single Vo'quv in STFs.

Not long ago, I actually "lost" all the fight with Donatra when a Vo'quv released all he got and someone else added a couple mines to the mix. Not a big fan of such freezes.

Other than that, the Vo'quv would probably deserve a 3rd hangar.

I think it should stay exactly how it is in game, and get one more hanger.

The thing is for those who fly that ship. its not a attack ship it is more of a support ship used in large fleets. so asking for 4 hanger bays would really take out the aspect of "Fleet" and make it more of a solo ship. personally its going to be a great ship either way and with other fleet ships around it will pick up any of the faults it has.
