Since Geko said he plans to buff the Vesta(most likely something like a 10% hull boost - of course a 4th front weapon slot would be nice to!:eek::P) I have been eyeing the 3-pack.

Time for a Ship sale!

    Wait, the Vesta was not good enough?? :eek:

    LOL, dreams are that, dreams. A science ship will NEVER get a 4th weapon slot in front / back. That is a nono and a universal rule. Only the dyson destroyers have 1 extra, and it is mostly useless unless you have the full set. And still.. lol.

    True but Geko did say that he would add some "love" to her Hull points - the 4th frontal weapons slot I can dream.

    Still there are a few other ships I would like on top of the Vesta 3-pack.

    Since a new ship is most likely coming in the next 4 weeks - a ship sale soon would be perfect to catch up on some of the older ones.

    Science ships sacrifice the 4th weapon slot, that won't happen.

    But for what do they sacrifice it? If you say "Sensor ANalys and Subsystem Targeting", I will say "Dual Heavy Cannons" and "Cruiser Commands".

    Maybe, once upon a time, when energy drain worked differently, the difference between 8 and 6 beams wasn't such a big deal, but today that doesn't seem to be the case.

    And what does the Vesta sacrifice? It got a hangar bay and the ability to use DHCs that don't even need weapon power. The other Science Vessel stink compared to the Vesta.

    Unlike some other people, I like the Vesta design (approximately a thousand times better than the Recon Science Vessel with its ugly deflector/engineering hulls and weird warp nacelles and pylons), but it bothers me that the other SVs just lack something significant. Maybe they should make those Aux Phasers at least useable on all Science Vessels.

    I really see science ships good as they are know. They dont need another weapon slot. In fact, they will be too much op with another weapon slot. If you know how to use a science ship, they dont need another weapon slot.

    Wait, you want another weapon slot to do more DPS, is the same story??? if you cant enjoy a ship without killing everything in 2 seconds, maybe we should add not 1, 2 weapons slots?? :P

    highest shield mod ships in the game? And considering the Vesta CAN use dual heavy cannons... your argument is moot.

    sci ships are designed for support, last i checked, support ships dont have as many weapons as destroyers or battleships.

    Whatever Geko has planned for the Vesta is his own secrets. I still would like it if they did a ship sale SOON!

    Oh I dunno I don't have any trouble with a full Dyson with full Dyson set including those dreaded autotargeting consoles everyone's so afraid of using.

    Useless for PVP probably not for PVE.

    They only people that don't seem to want to give science some love are escort people that are afraid that if sci captains can do some real DPS then they won't have their own personal healers. Or their own personal CC. Then the tac captains might not be able to use just glass cannons, they may have to make a proper ship, and we can't have that.

    If a single extra weapon is too scary for tac captains, at least give us sci captains Aux Beams, DBB, anything.
    You can't cry foul with that can you?

    Buffing science POWERS sure, but not additional weapons. The whole point of a science ship is to do something other than being a gunbunny. If you want to just blast everything, fly an escort or a FAWboat or the Dyson Destroyer. But a 7 gun sci ship? Forget that noise.

    As for a sale, 4th Of July would be the most likely. Besides, we already got the Lobi bonus coming up.

    Well... they could maintain a 6 gun limit (4 Fore, 2 aft)... But then I like my Vesta just the way it is.
