Everything has a counter. Will i list counters? No that ruins the point of me having clicky consoles . If your counter is on cooldown, sucks to be you. But seriously just shut up and play. My fleet ran a premade last sunday for 7 matches, didn't lose once. No cheese as in no black hole, no tif, no yellowstones.... just boff and captain abilities. Although i think our leader's build could be considered cheese, placating polaron. I'm not even joking he's a fed and placates like every 6 seconds.

Yep, everything has a counter - but you can't carry all the counters. However, with the ability to switch out clickies - you find what the other guy can't counter. It's a very good case for not being able to switch out said consoles during in a PvP area...or including specific areas within a PvP area where one could switch them out.

Sure, I agree in not being able to switch consoles in pvp, even from inventory. No shield swapping either.

I think there should be a "base" area - for each side - where they could do that. Something akin to the bases in CnH - within that area, somebody could go and make changes to the ship. Sure, part of that is to centralize fighting around the bases instead of having it spiral up to the top of the map...but hey...
But still, that would leave room for that dance of adaptation back and forth between the parties - X is doing A now, switch out some gear, BOFFs, DOFFs over at the base and get back in there...rather than it being the guy disappears for a few seconds into cloak and then they're back with something different while the guy without the battle cloak is SOL.
Along the lines of what Hawk said about switching Rep Traits...
First off, thank all of you who have gotten on Tribble and tested out the powers changes. We are reading all your feedback and taking it seriously. Changing powers that are already live is never an easy decision to make, as it makes players have to re-learn the characters with which they are intimately familiar.
IMHO, everything should be a strategic choice...not just the Rep Traits. But with that base area where folks could make tactical changes...

That is a terrible idea. The greatest strength of some ships is their ability to carry a wide array of alternative loadouts to fit this or that situation.
Its star trek canon to take and change your deflector ability during a confrontation, or switch from one type of torpedo to another, etc.
If you cba to do the same then thats on you, no fault of the mechanic.

A deflector ability would be a BOFF - not the deflector itself. Changing ammo is not the same as changing the weapon.
We make changes that required canon time in spacedock to do...in seconds.

nothing in this game is canon. limiting item swaps might make snese logically but not from an entertainment point of view. people have had this option sicne day 1, and true specialist pvpers had many armor consoles to swap. swap kinetic when u see minimax. it happened then so why not now? its a great feature shoudl be able to swap any time imho.
C'mon, we all know that Kirk and Picard would have hit it. Janeway would have tried to learn it. Archer would have bored her into stopping it. Sisko would have walked in on Jake watching it and needed to have a talk with him.

because it makes the game about who has items
(same is true for BOFF abilities to an extent, but not as much, since anybody can pickup a boff and train it)
