If the console was built into the ship it wouldn't be too big a deal, but it's like flying a 8 console ship and they generally don't have tier 5 stats.
But you get 2 console powers at once to compensate for that and can switch from attack to defense on a whim.
What will be interesting is how the Rom Vet Destroyer will differ from Fed/KDF with it's inevitable singularity core.
It will have everything the Chimera has plus the battlecloak as all wrbirds do plus singularity powers.
That gives it 7 clickable powers in addition to captain and boff and rep powers....
I need a bigger power tray!!!
Curiously, the Peghqu also has battlecloak, so I think it possible the Romulan version might go for an Enhanced battlecloak instead.
And as Singularity cores are still genrally considered worse than M/AM cores, that will somewhat balance it out. I guess some tweaking with hull and shields is also likely.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
I don't see singularity cores being weaker than warp cores tbh.
Personally, I'd find them equal if either of these were true:
1) rare singularity cores had access to subsystem->subsystem power bonuses (a la W->E 7,5% power bonus);
2) using a singularity power didn't cost you the power bonus of a singularity core (or basically using a singularity ability making you loose any other benefits the singularity core has).
But yes, I don't consider singularity cores being as much disadvantaged as many people seem to think they are.

its not super clear whats supposed to stick out and transform to fire the plasma faw lance thing, so theres a slight chance this might not be the vet ship. but it proboly is
that little scout ship is gonna be the captains yacht? i thought it would be an oberth tier 1 stat clone
hopeful they chose to introduce a fleet version of the vet ships with this ones launch. the fleet version of course wouldn't have the console. when they do this i certanly hope vets ony are charged 1 fleet mod for it, afterall that would make the vet ship available to anyone, it costing me 1 mod for such an 'insult' :P seems fare
The titles of the pictures from Massively indicate these are, in fact, the Vet ship and the Captain's yacht.
And you can sort of see the place where the pop-up wedge is for a tac mode.
I'll bet on EBC, otherwise similar to Peghqu but with a Singularity core and reduced power levels.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
