Idea for Avenger Class Battlecruiser...

I was talking with some of my fleet mates today about this new battlecruiser, and we were speculating what kind of consoles and weapons it would come with. Alot of what was said was pretty generic :eg battle cloak, saucer separation uber strong beam arrays, side cannons.....ect. What I suggested was a little different.
What i suggested was a console that made the arc of the beam arrays fire a full 360 degrees. Why this, I feel that this will make this battle cruiser a viable option say against a escort and the damage that can be done. If that seems a little OP the console could be activated and have a 30 second to a minute cooldown. Also if a console is not what you want it could come with say 3 beam arrays that have a 360 degree arc I also think this is fair. Now the said console would only be allowed on the avenger class to give some uniqueness to it.
What are your opinions on this idea, do you like it or just absolutely hate it or feel that it just needs to be tweaked.

Is it really that hard to broardside that we need 360 degree beams? Don't get me wrong I'd love them so I could use Dual Beam Banks with Beam Turrets and my ship would look awesome.
The wider the arc the less damage a weapons does. a 360 Beam would be turret damage.
The KCB is unique weapon much like the Cluster Torpedo it can't really be counted.
I suspect the Avenger to have a Unique weapon and a Unique Console that is not a Cloaking device. Think about it, they can sell 2 ships to make this one cloak.
I'm thinking this is a Klingon Tor'kaht with a shuttle bay. And probably better stats.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
I think you missed my point. Its not about broadsiding its about damage, and 6 or 7 beams shooting 360 is better than 3 shooting 180. Sure you can broadside but then when the target gets out of your arc for either forward or aft weapons there goes half of your dps. I dont see why the arc has to reduce the damage, the console would only work for this ship and its not like it will out dps an escort. Also the console would not work with beam banks only beam arrays.
Only time will tell....
Hangar has already been ruled out.
I will not gonna suggest since its already been made by the dev's so already the stats too.
But i do feeling since the dev's called this a ''Battle Cruiser'' first time a playable federation ship thats been called that, it most likely will have 5 TAC consoles with 4 ENG and 1 SCI console either that or it will have 5 fore weapons slots and 4 Tac consoles, or it can be as drastic as 5 Fore weapons and 5 TAC console giving Cryptic's latest power creep in the post LoR era.
either way it's funny feds get more new OP offensive ships and likely get the aceton assimilator in the next lock box with all of the KDF unique best consoles from the previous lock boxes while the KDF faction gets screwed over like always with no REAL end game updates and especially tier 5 ''C-store'' ships which the KDF faction got none for 2 years.
Even with all that new OP offensive ships and our best consoles given to Feds by Cryptic, whenever the Feds lose in PvP (most of the time) they called the KDF faction ''Overpowered'' and the funny thing is we have nothing to be OP with, we just have OP experience in PvP.
Also likely
Cannons.
Ability to equip a cloak
Multi function console (see romulan tac warbird)
Cheese cannon (to go with the Klingon whine beams)
Useless gimmick console (like most of the other consoles no one argues about)
Not likely but possible
A hangar (meh)
Battle cloak (meh)
Special beam cannon (stupid name for an attack piccolo)
Not at all likely
Enhanced battle cloak (pft)
Useful cheese console (most t5 consoles are questionable at best)
More than ONE hangar
Modified deflector pulse (it's just too powerful.)

Thanks for Harajuku. Now let's get a real "Magical Girl" costume!
Please not.
I'd rather want to see a enhanced beam weapon.
I'm sick of seeing cannon weapons everywhere in STO, the devs should look some other trek series besides DS9 for a change.
A: It's still a cruiser.
B: It's a Battle Cruiser.
I can see it being powerful, but I figured the Sovereign was supposed to be something like a Battle Cruiser.
Overall general power should be tied up between the Odyssey, The Galaxy(T5), and the Galaxy Dreadnought.

My name is Rage, and I too support a revised Galaxy family.
Well with Geko at the helm, you might be waiting for aeons for that......
Well, they could make it a Scimitar clone....
AS for Algeron With the Romulan Republic around I think the treaty is null and void at this point.
Honestly I'm surprised. Makes the Regent obsolete but for the wide-angle torp and people who REALLY want to fly a Fleet-level Sovereign or the tanking-based comm setting.
9 Turn, 5/3 layout, Can mount Cannons, a great BOFF layout, 4/1/4 Console loadout, the new Cruiser command thing, a special weapon that fire drones which launch Photon Torpedoes and fire Tachyon Beams.
1.1 Shield Mod and 37500 Hull on the T5. +10% for Fleet.
Can Work great with Beams or Cannons.
