    But doesn't the Vo'Quv already have the Cmdr + Lt Cmdr + Lt Cmdr + Ensign setup? So that could be their excuse.

    The Vo'quv COM, LTCx2, LT, which until recently was looking to be the mainstay of mostly carriers and the odd Bird of Prey.
    If you feel Keel'el's effect is well designed, please, for your own safety, be very careful around shallow pools of water.

    I think we getting a little carried away...the nicor is a chell grett that does 10% more damage. Its going to hit hard but 1.0 shield mod will see this pop all over the place. Needs BC :)

    Don't worry too much - if sales are not going too well those numbers are always "subject to change" higher!!:P

    Plus an enhanced Romulan battle cloak!:eek:

    Hey its a good thing they are trying to control power creep going forward.

    Control powercreep, in exchange they buff the existing traits and in season 10 we're getting the Commendation systems, Reputation replica with new traits :D

    You know where this all leads to.

    Power creep continues as the devs have failed to decently balance this game 4 years tru, so each patch note we'll see something revamped 'because players didnt feel the item/power they used was effective enough'.

    Powercreep not only in form of super crit or cheese toy console, but the basis of this game where 1 ship is 2x better then another still remains until this day on.

    I cant count the number of times this year Ive seen devs admit a certain item is better then something else, and openly state they have no plans to change it (Ofcourse because we all know they like to keep themselves closely in line with the chinese p2w mmo model)

    Its disgusting.

    Cheers.

    You're joking right?

    You really think that they wouldn't release something like that?

    Heck, one could argue they did already, though in a very roundabout way, with the Dyson ships.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    I'm getting tiered of holding out hope for Cryptic... I completely forgot something snarky in that post... I should have at least added some [/sarcasm] tags.

    its a full +1 over the chel, easy. its not a fragile ship, its got ~34k hull and a 1.0 shield mod. 8 weapons, COM tac, LTC sci, LT eng, and a universal LTC. how exactly does it not make obsolete every destroyer and tac cruiser?

    use the LTC for tac and its like the chel only with a LTC tac instead of just an LT. use it for eng and you got obvious access to a 2 AtB build, a MAJOR bonus vs the chel. i suppose you could double up with 2 LTC sci, and do some crazy FBP/healer build or something.

    the only thing worse then this warship introduced in season 9 is the command bortas of all things. SA on a bortas beam boat is statistically unbeatable. and has proven to be in practice too. scimitars and avengers fold under a fully stacked SA, wile i out tank them with a humble star cruiser station setup. SA on a non sci ship is a more powerful tool then a battlecloak.

    the warship is stupid powerful. 8 weapons, 5 tac consoles, COM tac with uni LTC and sci LTC, its got everything but a cloak. basically makes all tac cruisers, warships and destroyers obsolete, i don't think anything has quite obsoleted so much, so hard, and all at once, as this has.

    Romulans...

    Erm.....if the Command Bortasqu' is this powerful, what are people doing with Adapted Battle Cruisers?

    Romulans...

    warbirds didn't also outdate tac cruisers, just your basic escorts and bops really. they don't do tac cruisers, heal cruisers or sci ships better. this warship makes ever destroyer and every tac cruiser inferior though, only a few escorts like the hunter or bug remain relevant due to their high turn rate

    having 1 less tac console i imagine. or trying and failing to use the COM station for tac.

    I am not aware of all the abbreviations, what is "SA" everyone is talking about and the Bort?
    I use to do 100K DPS, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

    Scimitars tend to disagree with this statement.

    And between crit stacking doffs, valdore, singularity powers and BATTLECLOAK the margin of obsoletion is far far greater than a single additional lt comm bridge. A single singularity power is equiv to a commander sci in terms of raw stats, in most cases it's stronger, and just because the romulans don't have a vesta equiv doesn't mean that they don't get access to the best science ships, meanwhile they get dsyon ships with 99% of the base stats but with battlecloaks. It's just a silly argument to suggest that this one ship somehow leap frogs over all of that bullsh!t.
