    You have to understand that things come up, decisions have to be made, and sometimes it's smarter to push certain game element development projects back to make way for others. The fact is, more and more older content is getting revamped, so it is very likely that the Galaxy-X will get a revamp as well, even without the Facebook page's claim. And most importantly, they're running a company, and they don't take one of their employees lying lightly. If claims by the company are resurfacing like this, then most likely, it will come soon.

    It's a very good thing to be skeptical about something, but come on.
    As I said, we have known since late December that the Galaxy X was being put back on the schedule. That does not mean that it is coming out within the next month, or even next 6 months. If it gets here then I will buy it but I am not going to assume it is eminent based on a "stay tuned" comment - a comment I have seen dozens of times. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Well if they were resuming its development back then, it would be reasonable to assume that it'll come out 3-4 months afterward. Development takes time, even on one ship. They have apparently had trouble with its saucer separation as well.

    I just can't see how people think it's just a lie.

    If it is the Galaxy-X revamp, I'll certainly buy into it - I've been wanting to get it for the longest time, but I've been happy with the MVAE and the recent free ships I've gotten. But, the Gal-X is one of my favorite ships and I so want to do my dream build - the Gal-X + the Tactical Escort's Quad DCs ^_^

    No one said it was a lie. I said "stay tuned" does not mean it is coming soon (tm). I saw stay tuned and REDACTED statements from Brandon for months leading up to LoR's announcement - it was even on the LoR site.

    I know it is coming. That does not mean it is coming in March. The Merian license with Mark was completed the same time as the Vesta license. How long has the Vesta been out now? :)

    That's right, it might not come in March. It might come later. It might come tomorrow even. And I'm not aiming my criticism at you personally. I just think that the recent Facebook posts, as well as all the facts presented are enough justification to assume that a Gal-X revamp will come pretty soon, that's all.

    Aren't we getting a bit ahead of our selves? Really seems like some people are a bit overzealous, especially thinking they're gonna take it and suddenly make a Scimitar of it. Don't get me wrong because I kinda like the Gal-X and I own one, but asking for it to be the Starfleet Scimitar is a little overboard considering

    If it does make it as the Starfleet Scimitar I suppose people are okay with needing 3 gimmick consoles to be able to use the lance? :P

    Plus what would be the KDF Scimitar then?

    Simply makes more sense just to make a Fleet Gal-X and people are really getting way to over hyped, especially thinking that they would suddenly make the Gal-X a Scmitar clone.

    This, perhaps?

    Balance isn't necessarily about giving all three factions a copy-pasted version of the same ship, after all.

    Spotted on Facebook, note the rather cryptic Cryptic responses.

    I recently purchased the GAL-X and have been very happy with the purchase.

    For what I bought her for she does ok but is outshined by the Sao Paulo and my fleet MVAE.

    As a lot of people mentions she needs to be more balanced with other ships of her caliber.

    For me I would like to see an extra tac slot as I would like to be able to slot all the tac boff powers like TS/HY/BO/FAW then I'd be happy.

    She is a beautiful ship and deserves to be treated as such.

    ie interiors etc.

    Interiors? Wha? For a ship that was barely onscreen in the show?

    I dont want the gx to separate, especially if it costs a console slot.

    It just needs to be competitive with its contemporarys.

    That means an overhaul of the whole lance idea (turn it into a weapon, stop the cd bs. do the same for bortasqu autoturret and guramba lance) and a change to boff seating (use the regent). The fleet variant can get 10 consoles and a bit more hp on top of that.

    there, done.

    For the galaxy retro and neghvar, give it the dderidex seating.

    It's okay...I know you're just lashing out because the chances of the Gal-X becoming the next Scimitar are probably are just a pipe dream.

    I can't say that this video doesn't surprise me...Starfleet player greed never does.

    If there's a Galaxy Revamp to go with it, I may get that. Otherwise, I like my current ships more than the Galaxy-X.

    If it is the Galaxy-X revamp,

    Revamp is probably a miscommunication. They've talked for quite some time about adding saucer sep ability to the ship. And making a fleet version of it.

    Not revamping the ship people already bought.

    If it's the Galaxy-X it'll get nerfed to nothing since the pvpers can't adapt. :(

    As I've said, it's a non-issue anyway. If the upcoming IS a Fleet version, I really don't think that the [Fleet] Galaxy-X is going to be what most hope it will be.

    An additional console slot (probably Tac) an additional BOFF (probably Eng), and a little more hull. Possibly saucer sep. But it still won't be en-par with the Scimitar.
    I have to agree with these guys. The X will be a 10-Console Fleet version with Saucer Separation that has a long-range cannon and a shotgun cannon when Separated. It is not going to be the Scimitar killer.

    Nope, my fleet T'vairo with DPB3 plasma mines with extra crit is ;)

    I think a fleet version of the Gal - X would be nice, but with how Cryptic like these bundle packs now, it would not shock me to see a revamp 3 pack version - it would also amuse me, a sci Gal - X just would be so funny:D

    Personally, I'd prefer a SciGalaxy-R. Like this: [][][][] [][][] [][] [][] []

    Too much?
    Please reconsider ARC. Please make it optional, at the least. PLEASE.
    It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
    THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.

    I disagree. The Galaxy doesn't need a revamp.

    Source for this claim...?

    If they are finally releasing the fleet Galaxy.... They'll also be releasing the Fleet Garumba(that's been done forever) because it was mentioned MANY TIMES that both were to be released together.

    We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.

    While it would have been possible to make that point without that video:rolleyes: yes, factions can be different in more ways than cosmetics.
    A properly fixed BoP (flanking bonus and whetever those additional fixes are) is probably a sufficient match for a Scimitar.

    Ah, assumptions. That I poke fun at Cryptic's treatment of the KDF automatically makes me a supporter of it, huh?

    For the record, my point was that making the Gal-X into a clone of the Scimitar was a stupid idea. I don't want the Gal-X to come out as a 3-pack with absurd consoles - it should go in the fleet store, with +10% hull and an extra console, and you get a Fleet Module discount if you own the C-Store one.

    Nothing else needs to be said. If it comes out as a C-Store three pack, I shall assume it's further proof that Cryptic are either desperate or downright greedy.

    I hope they're coming out with one soon :)

    I think I'll nerdgasim so much that....

    ...maybe I should get one of those buttons that old people have to call an ambulance.

    oh and I need to fix my laptop so I can play STO from the emergency room.
