    while i actually agree with you i'd like to go bit more with arguments.

    ...the most valuable of them would be omega maneuvers, which would compensate a lot the slow speed an turn of gal-x. and also a "must have" skill with new undine content.

    ... unlike engineering overburden galaxy/-x

    ... which are 3 consoles in total. where scimitar get something useful (even if questionable) gal-x get the separation as the only way to smack the whale a spank.

    ... which is limited to worst damage type currently.

    ... which are hardly noticeable anyway.

    ... as if any pets can win against scimitar drones. as for me gal-x should get aquarius frigates exclusive.

    ... and thats for sure.

    Trust me when I say that I really wish my comments of the Risian Cruiser being superior to any Galaxy-class variant wasn't true. But when people are talking that the Galaxies are fine, it gets quite annoying.

    To add insult to injury, the better ship is "FREE." I too would be upset if I had owned the Galaxy CStore package. Oh wait, I do! :eek: except I hardly ever use that ship. However; I feel for those who love that ship, Cryptic pooped on a iconic TNG vessel and never thought of cleaning it up.

    Simply put, the liner is the spiritual successor of what the Galaxy X should be. At least the ship is free, that is a major plus.

    Buying Pearl packages with Lobi? "Excess" Pearls stored from last year's Festival?

    Hell, there were people linking the box the ship comes in in chat 5 minutes after this year's event went live.

    Exactly!
    I have seen the ship in space in the first few minutes of the start of the event.

    Oh, it still pops up here and there.

    The funny thing is that if they wanted the Galaxy-R to truly be the "Tank" it needs TAC stations to do that. To stuff more Attack Patterns (i.e. Delta, Omega) and the attack abilities to hit more targets. That's why the TAC Cruisers are better "Tanks" because they have the TAC ability draw fire and withstand it.

    Hence my comments about even the Risian Cruiser being a better "Tank" (as far as it applies to STO) than the Galaxy-class variants.

    You did refer to it as a steam liner, and rightfully so, it is designed to be made out to look like a cruise ship. I might just call mine the Love Boat.

    How is the customization for it? Is it like last year corvette with all the different color schemes?

    Thanks for the video! It's good to see what I am grinding for all 3 toons I have. But science consoles I was hoping it would be 4 layout instead 2 and tactical only 3 would be nice if it was 4 also. Looks like the push is more for engineering.. Max out 10 weapons 5/5 would be neat, but 8 weapons 4/4 is what you get.. I'll already have my new weapons payload to install on it. I do hope there is more color choices to be hand with a matted or glossy look.

    It doesn't have a hangar bay, no phaser lance, no saucer separation and no cloaking ability.
    So I don't think it's better. Just different.

    I can understand the concern for the regular Galaxy Retrofit better.

    Trust me I have both of them, Risian Cruiser is simply better. It pains me to say it but its unfortunantly true.

    It has a LtCdr TAC station which does more for offense than the 4 TAC Consoles on a Gal-X with Lt/Ens TAC station. The TAC station gives far more options for defense and offense than any pitiful variant of the Galaxy.

    More than enough ENG capability yet still friendly to A2B if you so choose.

    Moves way, way, WAYYYY better than any variant of the Failaxy and thus gets where you need it a lot more smoothly, efficiently, with no heartache no dumb gimmick consoles necessary.

    It does not rely on a gimmick attack that goes into a 3 minute cooldown.

    It does not rely on lackluster consoles to get it moving to at least molasses in winter levels.

    It does not rely on a half-hearted, lame attempt of a single hangar to hide its flaws.

    In short, the Risian Cruiser is a better TAC Cruiser, better defensive Cruiser, better moving Cruiser, better everything than any variant of the Failaxy line. It does not need gimmicks or special consoles to make playing it bearable.

    Unlike the Failaxies.

    Agreed. There could appear that Galaxy X has more advantages over the Risian Cruiser, but its just that, appearance.

    Thanks for the vid.

    The name of that should be called "Everything that the X should have been" :P

    Thanks for watching!

    And yes if just Galaxy X had that LTC tac station everything would be different.
    I would have played that ship non-stop. But unfortunantly they didn't opted
    to add that when they did the revamp.

    Why would you keybind a cruiser command, I am going to guess you are aware once a command is turned on, it stays active? :confused:

    By spamming a cruiser command, it is simply turning it on/off/on continuously.

    Otherwise thnx for the video, as I see quite a few from you.

    Also got to ask what nationality are you, as I cannot place your accent.

    And, holy moly does that ship got some HUGE engines, on the back of it.

    Looking forward to more. :)

    My mistake, dont play on that acc as much so i didnt really noticed.

    Regarding nationality i am Croatian.

    Regarding engines, there is a lot to costumize.

    Thanks for watching! :)
