Come on Cryptic, release a TWOK Constitution + Reliant pack (Tier 3 max) and add the damn phasers already. The Vaadwaur polarons are the perfect template.
cryptic are contractually obligated to deny and prevent the connie from being in any way competitive at end game.
geko came out and stated cryptics working definition of "competitive" was
"able to complete end game content", a time when power creep was on teh cusp of making stf completable by connies without extreme planning.
the stfs where buffed significantly soon after.
a t3 connie would force another stf dps hike, as well as significant boosts to all other teamed "endgame" content.
the fct covers everything besides the "that model is already in game".
While it was ... very unwise for the OP to suggest a better connie and/or miranda, I don't think that was his main request. TWoK phasers were.
I'll be honost, I don't care about the Constitution or Miranda getting a bump, but TWoK phasers would be a very welcome addition, provided they were done well (ie work like beams, look like rapid fire cannons). IF it did happen though, it would probably be yet another item with a god awful reputation time gate associated with it.

I don't know. In my opinion something about the VFX in general had to change. It is so unwillingly funny to see cannon shots "chase" their targets, the vaadwaur emitters are way worse than that due to the long "tail" the pulses have.
Cannons and those emitters are unguided. That should somehow be reflected in their VFX, maybe generally fire scattered in an area around the target?

read past the first line of the post you just quoted.
there is more than enough information there to figure it out, barring deliberatly not understanding.
world of tanks has this entirly sorted with a combination of player-input and rng that could be used as template for a "target predicion" and RNG system here.
though general ship and ballistic velocities would need an overhaul to implement.

when did T3 become endgame?
