The set bonus is absurd. Basically a science ship with a phaser lance, DHC, 4 tac consoles, plus sensor analysis and subsystem targeting, oh and a perfect shield.
Why fly anything else? It even makes the Odessey obsolete.
Meh.. I'm not as interested in it as the Odyssey/Bortasqu.. But still yay ANOTHER 5,000 Zen needed for 3 ships. And Yay more craptastic P2W Consoles that when combined form Voltron.. :rolleyes:
You think that your beta test was bad?
Think about this: American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
Sounds delicious. Can't wait. Any word on whether its gonna be Ody/Bort style with the triple-threat pack, or just a single premium ship?
The Vesta line of Multi-Mission Science Vessels is truly beautiful and extremely fun to fly ? we can?t wait for you to be able to command them. All three Multi-Mission Science Vessels will be available in the C-Store for individual sale (2500 ZEN) or as a 3-pack bundle (5000 ZEN) when Season 7 launches. If you?d like to start saving up now, consider taking advantage of the Bonus Zen Promotion that?s currently running.
Reading really is fundamental.

id just like to say i told you so to everyone that doubted that this would be the most overpowered ship ever. called the station setup too. i underestimated how overpowered it would be actually. those console configurations, the tractor pets, the incredible ease of use it will have with DHCs, this is truly a ship of nightmares.

Yeah, it's a Science ship that can use DHC's and Hanger pets..
Oh well, the Feds get all the toys. Nothing new.

It's sad to say, but so did I. Just from some of the stats that were discovered prior to the blog it was obvious the ship was OP. After the blog though... Wow.
13 turnrate
1.35 shield mod
Can equip dual heavy cannons
4 tac consoles on the tactical version
Sensor Analysis (so effectively after 1 min it'll have more firepower then an escort)
Console powers
And Danubes!?
Cryptic is obviously seriously desperate for cash.

I said it in the other thread, but I'll say it here too... not only was I wrong (well, technically they're wrong - but it's their game, so I'm wrong) - but I was so wrong with this monstrosity that in 2013 editions of most dictionaries, you're going to find my face next to the definition of wrong.
I mean, seriously... WTF were they thinking?
Well, I know they were thinking - giggity giggity, 5k zen - we're going to make money!
Good to know Geko didn't lost his touch at creating imba ships...

One ship to rule them all indeed.
Sadly some are crying that it's not OP enough. Obviously you can't please everyone all the time.

But...but...the way that blog post starts off...
...to where it goes?
That's more of a lost touch with reality.
How do you go from starting off saying that they wanted to avoid the potential OP of what the ship was to some folks to a ship even more OP than was imagined - whether hoped for or dreaded?

i really don't see how they could have made a more overpowered ship, i don't think its possible. well, unless they did silly things like give it a 2.0 shield mod, 20 turn, 60K hitpoints. i mean without grossly exceeding stat parameters it isn't possible to make anything better then this. it has literally everything. the best pet, the best weapon, the moat crippling skills available, the most synergistic station and console setup possible, and BS console powers.
heres what a vesta that would neatly fit with in the game in a balanced way would look like
Sadly some are crying that it's not OP enough. Obviously you can't please everyone all the time.
I'm still laughing @ 3 forward weapons
Your darn right I am crying - they gave me the 13 turn I ask for - the almost 1.4 mod - it's only 3 weapons up front - but I think you missed the innate Aux DHC MII that runs off Aux power.
i just did not get the 37k hull I wanted - still there is some time left to up the stats. And I will keep after them.
I still say that a ship that's supposed to be that big - shouldn't even have a TR of 10.
I'd make a base ship with lower TR, lower shield, and no hangar. It would have a "Multi-Mission" console slot - one slot. In that slot you could drop in a TR module, a shield module, or the hangar module.
If you took the TR, you've got your "Escort" Vesta.
If you took the shield module, you've got your "Healer/Tank" Vesta.
If you took the hangar module, you've got your "Carrier" Vesta.

Nope, didn't miss because I don't care. I won't buy one, I'll never see one (won't do PvP anymore), and don't expect to see something KDF to blow my 5k zen on in the c-store soon. They won't even address the T5 KDF fleet ship upgrade problem.
I find it funny they ship has 3 for and aft slots but it really has 4 fore weapons because of the aux phaser duel heavy. This is such an oped ship and with tractor pet spam it will be way oped. I'm a sci capt and I honestly don't feel this ship. It's to much like an escort. I've always piped in a sci ship and plan to always do so but this ship is insane. I expect them to need it after 3000 sales that way they will have all the money they can get off it and then laugh.
-"There is no such thing as an I win button!""Um, Sir. Whats this button that says (I win) for then?"
How can cryptic dare to sell Nebula for 2000 zen ?

Well, at least you can't activate all of the consoles at the same time.
And the perfect shield takes all weapons offline.
It should shut off engine too. Better yet, shut off aux as well. You'd think the "perfect shield" would require diverting all power to the shields to pull that off.

Thats nice build a nebula...oh wait...lol compare those two ships

same layout - check
better turn rate - check
dual cannons - check
better console layout - check
