I have now made it to Captain and I would like to upgrade to a cruiser class, specifically the Galaxy Class.

My question is: Can it separate?

    No it can not.

    If you are a gold subscriber, upon max level, if I recall correctly, you will given a token to redeem a new ship, the exploration cruiser refit is one of the possible candidates. It can saucer separate.

    No, it's not a gold subscriber ship it's a Z store ship.

    No it cannot

    Your much better off with a escort until you reach
    Level 50

    The cruisers do really poor damage at caption level

    Cruisers are low damage hi heal hi defense ships

    If your a engineer the escort is a even better choice
    For you because your engineer skills boost the
    Weak heal rate on hi damage low defense escorts
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    Its a Z store ship that is available as one of three (iirc) refit ships of which one is claimable as a per character unlock using the token. If you discharge it, its gone forever.

    **Addendum: The token is actually a 600 day vet reward, so unless you are a gold subscriber that has clocked 600 days or a Lifetimer, you won't have this option. Sorry for not recalling this important bit of info.

    What would be a good way to beef up a Galaxy offensively? How could I make it more manueverable?

    YOu don't, it's like turning a truck into a racecar... You can tune it to adegree, but it will fail it's intended purpose and never be as good as the real thing to make it into an attack ship.

    The closest thing to that would be the Galaxy-X, the AGT three nacelle version. that comes with a Sovereign Boff layout and the spinal phaser lance.

    The Engineering skill Aux to Dampeners can give you a few seconds of higher turn rate.

    But your best hope sans C-Store ships for a offensive type of cruiser is the Assault/Mirror Star cruiser you can get at your next rank.
    My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug. :D

    ...and at the same time one of the most ugliest.

    anyway:

    this game is a bit confusing. the "exploration class refit" or what everybody is talking about is the galaxy refit so there is

    the default galaxy
    the refit galaxy and
    the galaxy-x

    just for your information. the default galaxy cannot seperate while the refit can. dont recall the galaxy-x can or cannot do this as well.

    you will find more confusing names for classes that actually have a name (like defiant class is called "tactical escort".. dont know for what reason they do it like that).
    What ? Calaway.

    You can't and you don't. You can't buff it offensively without purple quality DOffs which most players don't have at that level, and you can only do so much with the lack thereof of tac consoles and BOff abilities that the freebie ship suffers from. For that matter, all Galaxies absolutely blow when it comes to tactical capability. There are much better ships out there tbh.

    As for the maneuverability? EM, EPtE (do NOT recommend), deuterium surplus, and Aux to dampeners are your best bets. But I would recommend against using the galaxy to begin with, and would discourage you from getting any of the c-store variants.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    You missed one out, there's another Galaxy variant too. At the moment the list is as follows:

    Basic Galaxy - T4 Cruiser.
    Galaxy/ Venture Refit - T4 +1 Cruiser with the AMS console.
    Galaxy Retrofit - T5 Cruiser with a Saucer Separation console.
    Galaxy X - T5 Cruiser - No Saucer Separation although it was planned then dropped and not mentioned again.

    And then there is the Fleet Galaxy Class Refit, T5 Cruiser with yet more engineering goodness, can use the seperation console.

    Basic galaxy is the worst ship ever. Not your Picard's ship, that's for ship.

    Don't have enough dilithium to get a new ship. Just have to wait until Admiral to get a new ship so I can make headway.
