Has anyone seen the stats of the Phaser Lances wide beam attack on Holodeck?

Check your powers window if youre flying the Galaxy-X. It looks cool.

    Does this mean it can use saucer separation now?

    I believe that has actually been there for a few months :) Consider it a sneak peek at what we'd like to do in the future, but there are still technical hurdles to overcome before it can happen.

    When then Gal-X gets saucer separation, its Phaser Lance will be more like a Phaser Shotgun w/o the parts on the Primary Hull.

    For those that didn't know, go to space and bring up our power window (default is p).

    In the phaser lance power description you should see the wide beam mode.

    This has existed for a year or so. But there is no way to separate the ship to use the ability. It seems likely that the ability has been programmed but the actual separation for the ship has been shelved. I just don't believe the whole "ya in visual effects being worked on" bit that Mr. Stahl has said over and over.

    But guess they are building it one pixel at a time.

    Saucer Sep for the Galaxy X was never a promised ability. It's one of those things the Devs do in their spare time - it's a side project. Meaning it's worked on when the Devs have nothing else to do.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Actually in an ask cryptic they stated that it would have saucer separation before the may update.

    Yeah, we've heard that for well over a year. Still nothing but promises that its coming. Thats fine when there are no fleet ships, but when there are, youre uncompetitive and lacking.

    If we're stuck using phasers (because the lance weapon type cant be changed) please make up for it. The accuracy is absurd, 3 minute cool down for a weapon that misses half the time is effectively a gimmick, rather than tactical advantage.

    Either a Lt Com Tac boff slot or 4 tac console slots to keep the GalX competitive compared to newer more advanced ships.

    I've been a GalX captain for 2 years, it badly needs this attention now.

    Of course we all know we'll get another engy console slot, with no boff layout changes, which flies in the face of its status as a DREADNOUGHT.

    Basically, the reason the Gal-X saucer sep never came out, is because the devs could not find a way to charge for it on top of the Retrofit Galaxy version.

    If you already owned the Gal retrofit, you could put the console on the X and have saucer sep on that as well.
    The devs could not find a way to separate them without breaking it, so the idea was shelved...

    I might think, if we were to go with that like of reason, that they needed to give the galaxy retrofit something to make people still use it. if you give seperation to the gal-x, what does the retrofit have left.

    I'm still of the opinion (YMMV) that the galaxy-X should be able to slot either the saucer seperation console. Then they should make the fleet Galaxy retrofit an all universal slot ship, except for the commander engineer.

    I'm just hurting for a +10% to something for this ship, and an extra console to Sci or Tac... Everything else is moot if we don't get this!

    They have other sets that come with a console for each ship and when combined it makes one awesome ship like the Vesta and the Andorrans, as well as many others, why not make those two into a three part set, figure out something cool the enterprise did in the show or movies that it didn't normally do and make it a console....guys would love it.:D

    If they can't even make the console work on a different ship, I'm not holding my breath for a miracle that this somehow appears.

    Would be nice if there is a new Galaxy-S that adds a scientific focused Galaxy with mission pod. The 3 consoles then combine to for the Galaxy S-VI!

    :cool:

    Some sort of rollbar linking the nacelles that launches a detachable sensor array platform for science stuff (gives enhanced sensor scan which reduces sensor scan stack time to 15s/tick)

    Then let us pick and choose some of the components we'd like to use, so that one can remove the raygun antennae on the X for example or add the scienceBar to the R or the thrid nacelle to the classic galaxy.

    I'd buy that ship set.
