Am I the only one who is disappointed with this anniversary ship now that they have shown us the stats.
First off, it comes with cannons you can't remove. Honestly its not that big of a deal. Considering this is suppose to be a Science Destroyer, and its part of the tactical mode it makes sense.
But since it is a destroyer, this isn't some escort, its a science ship that is suppose to have more bite. Sure it comes with the secondary deflector (which only gives you some shield back when you use certain abilities), so without seeing what other stats it comes with, seems rather lackluster to be honest. However, this is not the squishist science ship, but its leaning more towards a science escort than a science destroyer.
Why is it that in the game, all other destroyers have more hull. Heck most science ships have more hull, and better shields to boot. The only science ship in the game at t4 or t5 with less hull is the Vesta. T4 science ships have 30k hull base. T5 science ships have 33k hull usually, while destroyers have either 33,000 (t4 temporal destroyer), 34,500 (vet destroyers), 31,500 (Guramba), and 39,000 (adapted destroyer). So with all the dyson tech, why is this new science destroyer hybrid worse than well, any normal science ship or destroyer.
Sorry but something that was built with alien technology, built specifically because of a conflict with the voth and dealing with the iconian threat, plus war fronts with the borg and tholians, basically has escort hull strength.
So yeah, its neat that we get some gimmik ship, and while its technically not free, to get the 10th console, and who knows what else is coming on the Cstore version, you have to pay for the better version of the ship.
Sad to say, I was looking forward to some new science ship, especially on my klingon (which might be the only variant I go for since I have no real other options other than some cstore unlock or grinding for another temporal science ship). I will just end up sticking to the already superior science vessels on my other science characters instead of bothering for this sadly gimmiky ship. Was looking forward specifically on getting my romulan (in a temporal science) and reman (in an adapted battlecruiser) science officers back into a science ship with the singularity core, but I guess I will just have to wait till my fleet gets to t5 and I can get the fleet Ha'nom which is honestly far superior to this amazing looking ship. Sadly the only thing it really has going for it now, is the look of the ship.
Guess I will just do the mission for the free items to throw in the bank or to put on some spare ship. Its just disappointing with all the hype about this being a hybrid ship, it shows no middle ground on the stats. Not to mention that you are stuck with the ensign tactical slot, instead of getting some universal ensign or science slot. Suppose to be a science ship first after all.
