Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
The console set bonuses with that Cloak console was a bit of a surprise though lol. Might be worth equipping it if the set bonus is good enough.
Quick question though, I assume the Yamato can equip the consoles from all the previous Galaxy variants (Antimatter spread, Molecular Cohesion thingey, Saucer Seperation (I think this one was mentioned))?
Edit: A big thank you for putting a Lt. Comm. Tac station on the Yamato, that beastie might just be able to pull some crazy damage now!
I'm loving on the Kolasi and the Kara. Those are awesome ships
I'd say it's WAI

The single hanger and lance aren't enough to place this in the must have category above those that already own the tier 6 Galaxy.
This is caters more to existing Galaxy-X pilots, i can't see it having many people whose main ship is a Eclipse, Guardian, Arbiter or Command ship jump out of those to fly this one it simply isn't better than any of those.

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!
I'm expecting the built-in lances to have poor accuracy in exchange for being built-in, rather than a console.
I'm hoping that Kara can use the Mirror skin on it as well.
...And also, will they acquire the 2-piece set bonus: "Improved Starship Hull Plating and Starship Armor Reinforcements skills as well as your ship's Turn Rate," Saucer gaining Antimatter Spread, Phaser Wide Beam in Separated mode, and Saucer lance?
Not saying the Yamato is bad; but it requires its console to provide a similar effect to OsS, the cloak console to provide cloaking capabilities, and the Lance is clearly going to be relied upon to do the brunt of the damage. Granted, Yamato can better tank overall.
Still going to buy the bundle more for the KDF and Rom ships though, but at least the Yamato has some tolerable alternate hull designs I can live with. Here's hoping that the 3rd Nacelle isn't tied to the hull though and can be independently chosen.
Two sacrifices have to be made for not having that BFG as a console too, that also doesn't take up a weapon slot. And that's a lack of accuracy and either more lack of accuracy or lack of damage.
But on the other hand, at least it'll more likely hit if you saucer-sep and Wide-Beam it.
I am glad my scepticism has been proven wrong. Not sure about the command specialization, but then again pilot and intel would have been odd on ships of this class.
Gurumba mk 2 looks like a winner, but some additional info about the fighters would be nice.
Unless I see the parsers returning 60K to 80K DPS results during STF missions, I'm not buying it. It may look like a dreadnought but unless it performs like a dreadnought in players hands, not NPCs, its not worth the money.
They couldn't give the Andromeda the same loadout in Eng flavor as the Pathfinder (even though the Intrepid, Defiant, and Galaxy all shared identical layouts just in their respective class flavor before) due to massive playerbase whining, and the Defiant is likely either to copy the Andromeda or Pathfinder in layout.
And they couldn't give the superior loadout of the Guardian to the Andromeda either. At least they didn't give the Andromeda or its KDF equivalent the loadout of the D'Kellra (even though the D'K still has a technically superior Boff vs the Andromeda Layout, ignoring the Command hybrid on the LtC Tac).
At least they stuck to canon, as far as how canon as the Galaxy-X is; it's just a more offensive Galaxy. So the Yamato is just a more offensive Andromeda.
Personally, they should have given the Andromeda the Eng-centric seating of the Pathfinder, then give the Yamato the seating it has, which is also the Andromeda seating. But at least both have some fangs now.
You do know that most of the people getting 80k DPS are doing so by taking advantage of a known bug in the Kemocite-Laced weapons boff ability that spikes damage when using BFAW, right? I have seen people using absolute TRIBBLE rainbow boat builds pull 40-50k DPS because of it. When they fix that bug (likely to happen in S11 since it also affects the new torp abilities from the Terran set), DPS is going to drop sharply across the board. Either that or they won't fix it and everyone's DPS will shoot up to the hundreds of thousands because of the torp bug. Here's a video of that:

Can't come soon enough.
The Boff stations are not the same. The Lt Tac BOFF has been upgraded to Lt Commander. Which means CSV/CRF 2 andBFAW/BO/TS/THY 3 are now available. As should be expected on a Dreadnought. Also it has a Command Specialist slot.
So yeah, this about what we've been wanting out of the Galaxy-X and I'm quite pleased.
