Secondary Deflectors

Just read the patch notes for Tribble and saw you've been playing with ships, I was disappointed when I didn't see "Secondary Deflector Slots Added To Science Ships"

When can we have these?

I think they rather release Dev Blogs before they put it in the patch notes.

But as it was speculated many times in other SecDef threads, the game mechanic behind that is a little more complicated than thought.

All the old ships must be "mathed and system mechaniced" from scratch to implement the SecDef system.

The Dysons have the SecDef because it was built in from scratch.

I think I heard rumors that it will be around December or at least in the next bigger update.

When they can find a way to charge us for them.

Pfft, that's the easy bit. Slot supplied empty, dishes only via lockboxes and crafting.

they find that adding extra stats and boosts to a 2nd deflector will make sci ships too uber and so need to only factor it in to new sci ships where they nerf it down some and once you add in the 2nd deflector it all balances out.

only new pure sci ship got a 2nd deflector cause it's been factored into the design.

maybe they will fix all this out and roll out the 2ndary deflector someday...

Its planned and will be in the game.

If I were to guess how they get into the game I would speculate they will go and put them on the T5-U version of the ships and not earlier. This way they get to make a new ship and the players will not object at all when they are told to just 'dismiss and reclaim' your ship to get it. After all losing all ship mastery is nothing as it's so easy to get! :rolleyes:

My guess is along the lines of when pigs fly or when hell freezes over...maybe later. :rolleyes:

They don't care about Science at all, all they care about is the pew pew and I wonder if they're even working on them at all.

No seriously I really do wonder, they didn't even take this long to give raiders flanking because that's a pew pew, Klingon maybe but still quicker to add than bloody SD's.

They cant think of stats or powers? They seem to do fine spewing out new powers for their lock boxs ships every few months...

It's a new slot...well they didn't do this with warp cores did they?

Science is KDF/RR of the career paths in this game...

We will get them eventually, but they will then be labelled as an exploit and taken away from everybody (along with a heavy nerf to sci skills, just to make a further example of us for wanting to enjoy the game outside of escorts)

I bet they'll be on NEW t6+ ships to stimulate the sales of those new ships.

They've already said ALL Sci ships are gonna be revamped with Secondary Deflectors.

They didn't limit Cruiser Commands to the newest Cruisers to stimulate Cruiser sales did they?

No, but they did get the cruiser commands out faster than this, heck, they got warp cores out faster than this.

They also weren't working on a full blown Expansion at the same time I think...
*shrug*
We'll get them when we get them.
