"Currently, all Fleet ships are Tier 5 and typically have +10% Hull HP and +10% Shields; they also typically come with a 10th console slot"

so the man himself says fleet ships are tier 5 but better!

-_-

i dont want to live on this planet anymore....

so any speculation as to what will make a tier 6 ship?

    +10 percent SP and HP eh?

    ROFL.

    Someone clearly forgot to check the stats of the Destroyer, the X WING BOP, and the other Bop.

    Morons.

    Uh, for a new tier, they would have to have more Boff slots. As it stands, they are just very, very good Tier 5 ships.

    can you at least agree that the fleet ships are not teir 5, but 5.5? (like the other half tier ships they introduced?)

    the point being that even a little change like more hull and more shields and more console slots is enough of a difference to make a tier 5 vastly supperior to other lowly tier 5 ships, to the point of putting them in their own class.

    i dont think any tier above 5 will introduce more bo slots or more weapon slots. just more consoles, maybe higher current bo slots (but not more).

    if more slots and weapons were put on at every teir above 5 theyd have a solid cap they could hit with only a few more tiers.

    he did qualify that with "typically"


    a tier 6 is going to look a lot different then those fleet ships. tier 6 would have expanded station powers, something like COM, 2LTC, 3LT and 11 or 12 consoles, 8-10 weapons, stuff like that, the difference there is between tier 4 and tier 5 now. (theres never going to be a tier 6 BTW) the difference between a stock tier 5 and a fleet tier 5 is really not that much, certainly nothing that will make the skilled lose to the unskilled. except when theres things like 5 tactical consoles

    perhaps they are not tier 6, but at least 5.5... tier 5 tho? noway!

    the fleet vorcha, even tho has similar layout as the galor, has far more hull, shields, extra tac console a cloak and turn rate/inertia. its got 2x more crew(1500 vs 700) the same lt universal, an ensign eng instead of ensign sci, a ltc and lt tac instead of just ltc tac, and can equip dual cannons. i think thats enough to say its at least 5.5 ???

    Yeah, and they were never intended to be Tier 6, so what's the problem?

    I'd say they were Tier 6. A ship on a higher tier has more shields, hull, console slots etc.

    As for what they'd do for Tier 6, I don't care. Frankly I doubt the game will still be around by that point.

    Who cares what tier label anything gets ?

    Does it make any difference... lets call all new ships tier 8 its meaningless.

    All you need to know is if you pay money you get a better ship....

    Make no mistake Cryptic has learned some stuff from there new masters... and the fleet ships are as P2W as the lock box ships. The amount of grind... and the amount of the stuff needed for the grind will = people paying money. The amounts of Dilithium and raw materials needed has been measured and calculated. Every fleet ship that rolls of the line in STO will have made a % of money for cryptic.

    Lock Box and Fleet Ships > then every thing else... you have to have a reason to grind for them and drop real $.
