    As is, I'd sell the Gal-X for 1250 Zen.
    • Dreadnought with pathetic Tac ability.
    • Phaser Lance that does too little to justify a long cooldown.
    • Turn rate of a Galaxy so the ability to mount dual cannons is a joke.
    • Cloak is waste of console slot vs what else you could stick there.
    Fix those and I'd then think it's 2500 Zen price to be justified.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    They gave it a turn rate boost with this reboot. And contrary to what one poster thinks up above (while asking for a turn rate boost of 2, which is insane), the +1 to turn is a significant boost for the ship. There's a bit of a tradeoff, you have to equip the consoles for the bonus, but it's there.

    Very simple. I may buy the fleet X if it has a LTC tac boff and 4 tac consoles. If it also has a vastly more accurate lance I'll definitely buy it.

    Anything less than LTC tac boff and 4 tac consoles and I'm not a buyer. I'll buy avenger, TRIBBLE cruiser refit or excelsior instead. I don't own any of those either yet.

    So possible purchase of fleet X if it has LTC tac and 4 tac consoles, and definitely purchase if the lance accuracy is also fixed.

    I already have the Galaxy-X but I have not used it in a long while. Main reason is that it is not suited to my toon's build. Now that we have presets and can change builds on a whim, I may bring it back out. I would like to see the LTC Eng and the LT Tac spots switched. Definitely a cooldown reduction on the lance as well.

    These are my wants has well for the X.

    I'm on the fence about it getting and Integrated Cloak for the X but would be ok with it if it gave up 3k Hull lost 1 device slot and got a +1 Turn rate with it.

    It's not a 'bit' of a trade off.

    You have to slot two consoles for that tiny bonus.

    On a ship that already requires you to slot a cloak into a console slot if you want that too.

    It's a 'you want a turn rate buff? Then lets see how much less effective you can elsewhere' kind of trade off.

    oh, and you have to buy the refit to get it too.

    It's not bad, but i woudn't call it significant.


    Show your love for the ship you love.

    Oh come on, what are you marketing for cryptic now?

    Oh look, there a possible +1 turn rate bonus is you buy the Gal- Refit and Retro and then sacrifice two console slots to slot stuff.

    So, for a mere, what, 3500 zen you can gee up the Gal=X (2500 zen) to somewhere close to what it should have been.

    Provided you dont mind losing two console slots to do it.

    I don't mind a bit of monetarisation, but to tell people they'll give them some of what they want for the Gal-X, on spending an additional 3500 zen, well thats just nasty.

    You and I both.

    As I posted before, what would sell it for me would be an improvement to the lance [acc], higher turnrate boost (2 instead of 1), and better bridge officer seating. [][][][] [][][] [][] [][] [] (Com Eng, Lt Com Uni, Lt Tac, Lt Sci, Ens Uni)

    That and finally making a version of the Venture skin available to the Nebula.

    However, the hangar is a nice touch.

    What Starfleet Cruisers in this game have a commander tactical station? I can't find any on the wiki. So what is it I'm missing that happens to be the basis for giving a cruiser of any type a commander tactical?

    Commander.....I see a lot of people asking for a Lt Cmdr.

    One or two asking for commander, but the majority are looking for Lt Cmdr.

    Just like the Excelsior.

    Maybe a Lt. Commander Tactical. Right now, it feels like all it's useful for is ramming speed.

    For gimmick consoles, AMS and Saucer Sep aren't bad, particularly since Separation gets you an extra combat pet with more AMS while giving your Dreadnought some agility, and AMS is really annoying to deal with.

    I'd buy it, and actually fly my feds again, if it had a Cmdr Tac, Lt Cmdr Uni, and preferably a battlecloak. As it stands its just another crappy fed cruiser, which there are already plenty of, with the Dreadnought label slapped on it to trick people into thinking its something its not. Loved the Galaxy X in the show, but STO has butchered it beyond belief.

    And they are in the minority.

    but you keep focussing on them, presumably to discredit all the criticism.

    I dont know what your motive is for such a position, but it is a tad obvious.

    My motive is simple. I focus on the requests that are completely pie in the sky never going to happen because they're not going to happen.

    People keep asking for battlecloaks, wave motion guns and commander tacticals.

    Those are not going to happen. And my motive is to say that those are not going to happen.

    It's just that simple.

    And people keep trying to say "But, but, Commander Tactical!"

    Yes, you're right I want to discredit certain posts. You know which posts? The ones asking for commander tactical!

    And while you are doing that, and ignoring the reasonable posts, you are creating the strawman argument I accused you of earlier.

    It may be never going to happen, and as such I will likely never buy this ship. Doesn't mean these posts are not completely valid on a thread asking what would sell you on the Galaxy X. I told you exactly what would, you don't like it well to bad.

    I'm not creating a strawman argument at all. I am responding to specific posts about a specific thing. The commander tactical. Since it keeps getting asked for, there's no strawman. At all.

    I'm not the one who has a problem with the ship though. And a lot of people have already bought it so I think the economic viability of it is already established. At this point, it comes down to, do people want to pay 1 fleet module (like less than 10 million ECs) to get a hangar bay on it.

    For me, what would make me buy a Gal-x if I didn't already have it is the inclusion of the option for a Terran skin to the ship, and I.S.S. prefix

    But for you, what would make you buy one/make you wish you could buy it again from sheer cool factor?

    that it was built for its role, the retrofit galaxy should be nothing more then an exploration ship, mostly science based and tactical followed by engineering.
    the dreadnaught is a bit more armed and a cloaking device, however i doubt its purpose has really changed from science based missions and making contact with other races. so slightly stronger tactical and slightly weaker engineering but science remains strong.

    thats the way its shown in in canon, thats how it should be sold.

    Well, here's my proposal for the Galaxy X:

    Minimum Rank: Vice Admiral
    Crew: 4000
    Hull Strength: 50,000
    Fore: 5
    Aft: 2
    Bridge Officer Stations: Commander Universal, Lieutenant Commander Tactical, Lieutenant Engineering, Lieutenant Science, Ensign Universal
    Consoles: 5 Eng, 4 Tac, 1 Sci
    Turn Rate: 13
    Shield Modifier: 1.3
    2 Hangar Bays
    Impulse Modifier: 0.25
    Can equip cannons
    Console - Universal - Phaser Nova:
    - Creates 30 overloaded phaser beams
    - 100% Accuracy
    - Recharge: 200 seconds

    I think that would really help.
    I would love to visit this star in-game...or maybe this one!
