main consoles romulian , borg and nuka then we have embassy consoles and now you are adding engineering consoles so where are we supposed to put them all .
i fly the tal'shiar battle cruiser and i have its sister ship so thats two consoles right there.
so if i added two sets of rep weapons i have to add 2 more consoles so that makes four so because i have a lobi store ship it eats up two slots and hurts my build sins theses consoles have no defense buffs and only have tac buffs , any way i look at it im losing stats becouse of the lobi consoles and same goes for c store ships .
so this is my idea , add fleet console slots , kinda like the hanger bay slots
and sell them for a 100,000 fleet marks each at a max of 2
this would help every one and not just the lobi store ships , but the fleet ships to and the normal ships and the c store ships to , so ships that come with consoles will have extra room and fleet and normal ships will have slots to buy consoles for them so no one losses and every one wins
on one more note this idea should only be applied to add on consoles and not tac or sci or eng consoles , just added on consoles.
like i sead this idea only applies to add on consoles , so that means c store consoles , lobi store consoles and lock box consoles .
this idea does not apply to reputation consoles or normal consoles or embassy consoles or the new engineering consoles.
The whole purpose of having limited slots is so you have to make choices. Weight out the benefit of slotting each console... a give and take if you will (i can replace the RCS with the Neutronium... I gain Damage resistance, but lose turn rate).
We already have the Romulan Embassy Sci+Heal/Damage consoles, Damage+Buff/Debuff weapons and the upcoming Armor+RCS consoles, adding additional console slots is unnecessary.
My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.
this is almost as bad as some people wanting to turn certain consoles into device slot equipment.
Their is nothing wrong with certain consoles going in device slot like the Cloaking DEVICE that you get with the Defiant and Galaxy X.
Only some consoles should be able to be put in a Device slot not all. Allow Cloaking Device and the consoles that have a ability to boost some power levels for a short time to be usable in a device slot and more people would buy the C-Store ships that have those items. It is a win win for all.

Devices and Consoles are different, and should remain so.
That said, it would be nice if there were more things for Device slots, especially non-consumable devices.
So are weapons, shields, and pretty much anything technological...
As far as where to put the gear, that's how Cryptic is balancing things like Universal consoles. It's a give and take process.
With the new Dil Mine holding, you're now getting a console and a half basically. So, install 2 and have a third of different type free, so a good spot to toss a Uni console or two becomes a recently freed up Eng slot if you're using a mix of the types available. Additionally the HullHP option gives you more flexibility with your Deflector for completing sets, as the Deflector was the only option for adding more HP aside from Skill for tanking previously.
guys we need more slots period we need to separate them from are ship builds maybe not totally but some, we need to also think long term , the game needs to grow , we need biggier and badder villians ,
IM SO SO SO SO TIRED OF THE BORG , LETS GET SOME WARS GOING ,
HOW ABOUT A 35 WAVE MATCH MIN 50 SHIPS A WAVE 10 PLAYERS FOR LIKE 300 MARKS DAILY AT LEAST 2 TYPES
HOW ABOUT RANDOM MODE , SPACE AND GROUND
HOW ABOUT A BATTLE FOR EARTH 100 WAVES, IF YOU LOSS YOU WATCH EARTH BLOW UP.
INVASIONS ZONES WHERE PLAYERS CAN FIGHT THE 3 DIFFERENT FACTIONS INSTANT PVP WITH COM SHIPS IF NEEDED
HOW ABOUT TERRITORY MISSIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR SYSTEMS FOR MARKS.
HOW ABOUT SYSTEM ASSAULT MISSION SET ON RANDOM WHERE YOU GO IN TO ATTACK A ENEMY .
NOW IF THESE MISSIONS WHERE IN THE GAME DON'T YOU THINK TWO EXTRA CONSOLE SLOTS WOULD BE NEEDED , COME ON PEOPLE GET EPIC STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING. LIKE REALLY EVERY TIME I GO ON THESE FORUMS ALL I SEE MORE COMPLAINING THEN IDEAS , GET EPIC AND HAVE FUN THINK BIG ITS A MMO.
Well the plasma manifold being a device isn't a bad thing, if they did that solely for the power up consoles sold in the store it would only affect that one.
Second, I like the idea of getting secondary slots however I would suggest especially when handling the triplicate ships that they add 1 extra slot per ship set to each ship that way all three consoles can be used in those ships without making them "wipe the floor clean weak". especially the science ones.
The vesta most notably should have this as an advantage and any other non-tactical ship out there, this would even the odds considerably since they're about to add a whole bunch of new gear that gives anyone an immunity to kinetic damage across the board.

Well it is true but their just are not enough devices and a item with the name device in it should go in a device slot more then anything.
And those items that boost power for a short time should also go in the device slot because they are similar to the Red Matter Capacitor.
Allowing these things makes sense and would make the ships with them sell more making them money and allowing device slots to be more useful.
Making changes like this wont make things imbalanced if anything they would actually make ships like science ships and cruiser a little bit better compared to escorts something that is needed IMO.

Klingons have a similar item to that one theirs boost engines and weapons power for a short time so each side has such a item that could go in device slot.
To be honest, the restrictions on amount of consoles we're able to slot keeps the playing field somewhat even, as it is.
If people could slot all of the special consoles they've accumulated on one ship, this game would get really annoying very quickly, especially for those that do not have access to all the expensive stuff.
As it is now, people are forced to pick what advantages they prefer to run, limiting people from creating completely over the top OP set-ups. I feel that's fine.

this is another "pay to twin" thing. even if its with in game currency.

The Cloaking Device is a Device. They just decided to make it go in a console slot.
Yes more things to be able to put in a device slot is needed especially non-consumables.
So are weapons, shields, and pretty much anything technological...
