Devs let me say the Vesta is the best looking ship so far. Beautiful and I might even start a Sci Char just to get the full set with all 3 ships.
But 1 thing that bothers me is that, it makes the ships Dreadnought and Atrox almost obsolete.
The other ships have fleet versions making them a step above them all.
But the Dreadnought and Atrox need a refit or retrofit to keep up with these guys. So is there any word on a change or even the rumored Galaxy Bundle that was suppose to come out?
An Atrox Bundle/Caitian Pride Bundle will also bring life to the Atrox.
It will be dull to have all Vesta Classes queuing up for PvP or PvE.

1) Teamwork and timing is #1
2) You cannot "Kirk It" in every ship
3) You are going to die, just get back up
To be honest, the Dreadnought could use some love as is, without additional cost. People paid good money for that thing, and it's getting overtaken left and right. Not just terms of the special consoles/equipment new ships tend to get, but even in raw stats.
Atrox, never flew one, so don't know how it compares. Might very well be similar.
But, for the love of god, don't give them any ideas. Allowing people to rebuy/upgrade expensive top level ships, just because newer ships are even more powerful is fishy business, in terms of costumer respect, as far as I'm concerned.
NO update for the dreadnaught. It was a 1-time episode ship in an alternate reality future that never existed because cuasality changed and the present changed thus negating the future ever took place.
It's a gimmick ship, and CLEARLY, based on EVERYTHING since that episode, timelines and ship designs have gone down other paths.
Forget about it. Leave it. It's fine for a z-store ship for those that love it. It isn't obsolete and it doesn't need a fleet variant.

Right... how many episodes did the Vesta get again?
The Vesta clearly made not only the Galaxy-X 100% worthless, but the Regent, Nebula, heck almost all other Science Ships got hit too.
Who wants to waste money on the Intrepid Refit when you an get the Vesta with an extra console slot, a Phaser Lance, Heavy Cannons, fighters, and an shield that's better than the Intrepid Ablative Armor?
The Vesta really needs mega toned down. If they don't nerf it then .......
When it comes to the Galaxy-X, as I said in another thread, EVEN if they gave her that Saucer Seperation and the Phaser Shotgun they told us about, that would NOT be enough!
The Galaxy-X supposed to be a Dreadnaught, a ship made purely for fighting. So she needs at LEAST a fourth Tactical Console slot, and why not add another Science console slot for further shield reinforcement? Add a Hanger, because we know the Enterprise-D had Runabouts too.
I find it hilarious how they justify splitting the ship into three variants. I mean, seriously.. just say ' we want cash and it worked with the Odyssey so now we release Odyssey 2.0 pack'
The Atrox is a full carrier. Deploys 4 wings of fighters. The Vesta deploys only one.
Dreadnought ... well, welcome to pay to win scam. You paid for its power and now the game has been upped. Do you not feel uber anymore? Do you feel inadecuate? NO WORRY! WE RUV U RON TIME! Buy Zen. Buy Zen and Buy Vesta. Vesta rov u ron time! :P
Oh and this 'balance' thing.. or this 'purchase integrity' myth... forget about it. Cryptic is a cash cow for PWI.

Yeah, I was looking at that. I'm pumping fighters out pretty regularly with my Atrox, so having only one hanger seems sort of... underwhelming. Also, its an all or nothing there, whereas my Atrox I can have a mix of ships or double up on one thing. I like that versatility, you know?
That said, if there was a carrier with 3 or 4 hanger bays, I might be interested in THAT.

If your saying this ship replaces the Gal-X because it has a big gun on the front, you are missing the point of the Gal-X in the first place. This ship does not compete with the Gal-X. Apples and oranges.
I must admit it puts all the sci ships to shame... I can't wait to get my hands on one.
I once again match my character. Behold the power of PINK!

Now my dear player.. Moo for us.
Oh, so we're pretending they know wtf they're doing? Okay. I thought we were in reality, for a moment.

2 wings not 1 each hanger bay gets 2 wings no matter the ship.
