Apart from the matter that my Delta recruit has to fly other ships in order to get their Traits , i am simply happy with the Andromeda Exploration Cruiser.
(ok, a Intel setup instead of command and a Lt Cmdr Sci would have been perfect, but that's just a minor thing to me.)
And i seriously like to thank the responsible designer for those gorgeous looking Andromeda ship parts, especially the saucer and the nacelles!
Please do more ship designs like that!!!
But why did it have to take 5 years to get such a ship in STO?

OK this really shocked me. I got the email and thought it was an April fools joke. This is the first T6 ship worth my money, And with the sale this weekend,i said why not. This is really a great ship. Good job on this one Dev's. Now please think about a Gal X and an Odyssey T6 and i will be happy. On the 3 Tac slots,maybe its their way of curbing the crazy dps being done.

I thought the same at first, but it's a really good thing it came true.

Now cryptic, take it to another level, add in a T6 Galaxy X dreadnaught. Originally you'd have to purchase it using Zen, but people who already own the Galaxy X should get it for free.
Veteran of STO, had it for 5 years. Unfortunately, my Original account is gone.

I'm hoping for a t6 galaxy-x someday too but I'll want a better specialization for it (maybe something more tactical than what we have now?) and there's no way it will be free for people who already have a galaxy-x. If one come's out next year, I would be happy.

lmao very funny you guys aren't getting a galaxy x for free if they do make a tier 6 its like saying anyone who brought a galaxy class would have gotten the ship for free. It would be more funny if they made a tier 6 galaxy x class with the same layout but gave it a LT Commander science and a hyprid lt tac/command
so they moved those hard points, but couldn't be bothered to put some array hard points on those small arrays on the back of the neck? instead of continuing to stick all 4 of them on that tiny array by the torp launcher?
I thought the (original) Galaxy-class had phaser arrays located close to the base out the nacelle pylons? It'd be a perfect spot for the rear beam slots. I bought this ship and I'm really happy with it, except for this single detail; I hate it when weapons clip through the hull. There are already port and starboard visual hardpoints that represent one beam array mechanically, so I don't understand why they can't just add hardpoints underneath the saucer too, which mirror those above.
Also, the rear turret hardpoint ought to be moved to somewhere more central underneath the secondary hull: an omni-directional beam firing through the entire ship looks incredibly awkward.
Forget the possibility of PvP, for so much has become pay-to-win, never to be balanced. Forget the promise of exploration and research, for in the grim dark future of Star Trek Online there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting publishers.
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

Other than my science Captains 1 Engineer happily in a Dominion Dreadnought Carrier and 1 Tact happy in in a Fleet Akira (Love to see a tier 6 Akira the ship model is just beautiful) the rest of my characters have mothballed their Intel ships, Command ships, Fleet Galaxy-X and been commissioned themselves new Galaxy Class class starships.
Really enjoying flying a Galaxy with teeth.
Bring on a Tier 6 Nebula with a 3rd tact console and the same detail given to her looks as the Galaxy. and she'll be top dog for Fed science ships.

Sorry had to do that. May not be entirely true (the best ship part anyway) but it sure is parsecs ahead of that old sorry excuse of a fleet Galaxy lol
My engineer couldn't ask for a better ship.

A DD that isn't a crapshoot
And the Negh'var that was promised nigh on 3 years ago.
The stats may not be perfect for the DPS race but damn cryptic actually delivered all around this time.
