im asking becasue somtimes i like a set of consoles for what it can do more than the ship itself and i would probably move the heavens if i liked a certain console that was on a cstore ship or in a lock box ship (meaning by the ships in the store or buy keys ) if i was allowed to put the consoles on any ship i wanted . take the nebula for instance i think it silly that i cant put the tach detection grid on any other ship if nothing else i should at least be able to put it on another sci ship if i choose to so woudl you not like to put your fav consoles on your fav ships ?

Things like the TDG are limited because other ships lack the specialized hardware and interfaces needed to utilize the upgrade properly. In the specific case of the TDG, it was custom-rigged as a built-in feature of a specific Nebula-class starship. You're lucky they bothered to make it work on any other Nebula, let alone a different class.

There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
Oh okay, you're talking about T5 ship consoles, and Lockbox consoles. And yes, I do actually think they should be universal (with some exceptions, NOT GIVING YOU CLOAKS THAT EASY FEDDIES!!!!) This would help boost the sales of lesser used ships, and would push Cryptic into giving them an overhaul. (They really need to be devices)
Sadly, alot of the ship exclusive consoles are kinda sucky and people don't put them on the ship it goes with even if they are using it.
Yeah, the only time I'm using the Scimitar consoles is, when I do some solo stuff and even then I'm basically gimping myself just for entertainment purposes.
In STFs or any other more "serious" stuff, I don't use any of the consoles at all.

If consoles were devices (at least the active ability ones, Assimilated Console and the others like it should remain consoles) it would allow for a lot more flexibility, and some wacky ability combinations. Imagine using Photonic Replacement, Subspace Jump, and the fakey-death console at the same time. That would be hilarious.
Sure, things would make no logical (or logistical) sense, and those things would have to be passed over, but I still think that most consoles should be freed up.
so which weapon would you give up to slot the Torpedo defense console that only can fire every 3mins?
Clearly it would need to be reworked. Its a dumb idea in the first place - weapons should be in weapon slots. Phaser PDS, torpedo PDS, Phaser Lance... increase the RoF.
can you imagine the T'varo with the scimitar consoles?
certain consoles like the Torpedo point defense I could see
Indeed I can't. Some things have to be ship-specific. VATA on a sci vessel, shield bubble on a cruiser, cloaking device on every escort? Self-kill-torpedo-of-doom on another ship?

i approve this message just on sheer fun factor alone

the vesta quantum focused phaser would give the gal-x a lance that could hit
But would you want it to? Remember the Enterprise's Deflector Phaser didn't do any damage when Riker fired it.
so which weapon would you give up to slot the Torpedo defense console that only can fire every 3mins?
Heh. True. I really dig the vesta Wave Motion Gun.
Clearly it would need to be reworked. Its a dumb idea in the first place - weapons should be in weapon slots. Phaser PDS, torpedo PDS, Phaser Lance... increase the RoF.
