Escorts make money therefore if nothing else is capable of completing content escorts will make more money and as such the game is working as designed.
This video is in my sig but I'll point it out here anyhow. Im sorry but theres no reason cruisers cant do damage. BIG BIG DAMAGE. My fleet punches out infected elite in about 4-5 minutes with all cruisers spamming fire at will. This video shows what 5 cruisers can do with common mk x gear aside from the subspace field modulator which you get free from running scirmish.
The other 2 videos in my sig are us running with high end gear and me soloing infected elite in a carrier. All of those videos highlight what a strong beam build can do.
When people talk about how much they hate the Trinity, they really tend to seem to mean , "I hate the two thirds of the Trinity playstyles that I don't personally enjoy, and that means they should be rendered useless. "
Actually I like cruisers as well because they are canon.
I never saw these magical mage ships in any of the shows or movies.
There is no Trinity in Star Trek.
Only Cruisers and Escorts fight.
Any Science ships would be "Escorted" by Cruisers and Escorts.
I'm sure those of us here for the Star Trek will understand.
Those here for the MMO part.... well that's just sad.

Well my Excel does at least 1k with every hit (so long as I am within 5km of my target) even with FAW active, that said I am running Aux2batt and AP:O so yeah...
Title says it all. It was bad enough before, but now with LoR, you can add withering cloak alpha attacks to the escorts' already near-infinite inventory of ways to kill people.
Cryptic, you really need to address this problem. It's now getting beyond a joke. You've made it so that of the ships shown in the series only the Defiant is a real contender for an effective PvP ship. This spits in the face of what Star Trek is meant to be.
Whilst you're fixing the balance, do something about the JHAS. It's not a little OP, it's waaaaay OP. As evidenced by the sheer number of serious PvPers who use it.
(I know I'm wasting my breath with this post, but it really needs to be said and said and said again until Cryptic listens.)
Well what I am about to say has probably been said 40 or so times already in this thread, but I have seen about 50 or so of this very thread. Problem with the JHAS is way OP arguement is I can rip apart those JHAS ships in groups of 5v5 without much difficulty at all. In a 1v1 enviorment it really boils down to how good you are as opposed to how good they are.
But while I am here, let me share with you some of the weakness of the Legendary Bug. It can not take on a well built sci ship. It just can not. Drain it and rip its shields off and it sits there while you slowly tear off the armour.
Now being that I personaly fly a lot of BOPs in PvP, as opposed to flying cruisers, I think that you are not doing it right if you can not fly a Cruiser. I recently even made a D'Deridex build that was more than effective in PvP. I can even hold my own against bug ships.
Also well placed on puting the Thread in the General Discussion forum as opposed to the PvP forum... There your thread would have like 4 posts, each of them saying exactly what I am now... OP is in your mind, conquer the enemy by finding its weakness. Every ship has one.

THIS ^^ is exactly what I'm talking about.
People actually make builds around making your opponent pathetically weak before they even dare to try to fight them.
I can't imagine Kirk telling his crew to hold off and disable their opponent's shields, weapons and engines, scramble their sensors and hold them in a tractor beam before "bravely" attacking.
Sci ships should have to slot all these magic powers into weapons slots, instead they get all the Beam Target System powers for free. :rolleyes:

Well, Sci is somewhat if a different monster than tac. And going all Kirk (I am a Captain so I win) is not really a fun way for one person to fight another. But there is other ways to kill Bugs, my Fleet Dhelan does it quite often. Although that is more dependent on the person piloting the bug.

Hmm. You're right. I did.
