So......will the Bortasqu/oddy get brought in line with the scimitar?

Disclaimer; I dont feel that the scimitar is game breakingly overpowered, nor the people who will be buying it automatically deserving of ridicule. Although, Im fully expecting the term "Scimitards"* to get thrown around the second someone messes up an STF in one.

Well, the scimitars been let out of it's box, and it's powerfull. Hull and shields of a cruiser, turn 7 base and 5 front weapons, with the consoles. Oh and a hanger. Now, thats a hell of an armament.

The issue is, Objectively, the the thing out performs the other 5k zen faction bundles. I meqan really, do a side by side comparison with the bortasqu and tell me that the scimitar isn't better in every concievable way. And that's meant to be the flagship of the KDF fleet.

The kumari? It has the same weapon layout and a hanger bay. And more hull. And a cloak.

The oddy? Well, the oddy seems to fall short in the departments all fed cruisers tend to. It's slow and isnt ideal to mount the nastier weapons this game has. Problems that the scimitar wont have.

The vesta? In honesty, this ones coming out better than the others. Aux cannons and a hanger of it's very own, plus being a great science ship do help it stack up against the scimitar.

Now. I'm aware I'm obsessing over it outdpsing most things a fair bit. And in fairness, if the main endgame bosses wernt big immobile boxes, the 5 weapon slots/tac consoles wouldnt be nearly as big of a problem. But as the game is? The scimitar hands down beats the mentioned 5k bundles with the possible exception of the vesta.

This isnt me begging for a buff to a ship I like (I dont own any of the 5k zen packs or there components). This is me voicing my concern that, in cryptics hurry to make the romulans happy, they may have made at least one ship line that costs the same amount redundant.

Which is wierd. They make the same of a bortasqu sale as they do of a scimitar.
