ok, agreed, since i had taken a break from the game i had not know how much of a dps faw with a2b got.
if u want to be able to do that.. great. cruisers are the biggest, most weaps slots, and with engi caps/skills have the most power, energy wise, in the game. this should have a down side right?
that's where aux power having an effect on all skills would come in.
if u'r ,pushing that much power in weaps something needs to give. A2B drains aux to 5, and that would mean heals and resistance would be a lot less helpful or not working at all. Bottom line, if u want to be a dps power house in a cruiser u'd be a lot more fragile.
and while on paper best dps = "most efficient way to beat pve queues" the escorts ability to spike and focus on one target (like a boss) is very helpful! at the moment bfaw may be a better mechanic than CSV but it is not the same as putting it against CRF
i'd take 1 tank build cruiser with 4 escorts every day over 5 bfaw cruiser for 1 high hp, high dmg enemy.
But we dn't have that sort of challenge in pve. i was tanking a cube in an elite stf yesterday in a fleet escort!!! So why would a cruiser captain go for a tank build rather then a dps build when there's no trade of and you can tank everything just as easily?
"Cruisers/warbirds are a superior ship to Escorts."
man if that's what you think cryptic will listen to... you'll be waiting 3 years or more with no change like sci captains are.... if sci and their cc skills would have any teeth things would look different.
