request: dhelan T6

could we have please a T6 dhelan?

the current T5 dhelan has :

commander tactical
ensign tactical
lieutenant engineering
lt commander science and
lieutenant universal

the T6 could have:

commander tactical
lieutenant tactical
lieutenant eng
lt commander science
lieutenant universal

neither the mogai T6 nor the T6 arkif have this boffs layout.

the new dhelan could have a starship trait which improve speed and turn rate.

    lt commander Intel/science or Pilot/science is more likely when a T6 version of the Dhelan is released.
    Command doesn't seem to fit such a small vessel.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Would not mind seeing a tier six Dhelan at all, and honestly would love to see it done in kinda a bomber/ambush type set-up. With it being maybe packaged in a bundle with a tier six Tempest/patrol escort for Federation (not sure what KDF ship would fit in with these two.). I would rather see the Ensign tactical seat turned into a universal seat, while maybe being upgraded to lieutenant, though with the tempest having only four seats (commander tactical, Lt.com uni, Lt.com engineer, and than a Lt sci seat) it might be interesting to see what they would do with that fact in a package.

    I would put two fused-slots on the tier six Tempest (patrol-escort)/Dhelan/Kdf ship, which can only have a specific fused aft/rear weapon slotted in them, which would be one of two versions of it. The first of these fused-aft weapons would be the tempest dual heavy cannon that comes on the tier five patrol escort retrofit (maybe make the plasma/disruptor version claimable if you by the tier six for the rom/kdf), and then the maelstrom heavy torpedo-launcher that would come on the Tier six version, The Maelstrom i would make as a harder hitting an faster firing version of the normal torpedo launchers, or as a dual launcher that launches twice the normal torpedoes but the normal damage. (i would not mind if they made it that the tempest cannon an this new maelstrom launcher would be non-unique or atleast not a one per ship kind of deal.

    For the Ship trait i would make it something that gives you a buff or stacking-buff to your forward/fore slotted weapons, that has it's duration or power based on how long you are not hitting your main-target with your forward/fore-slotted weapons. The idea behind this is that during the time you are strafing off your main target/s to make a new attack run on them, your aft weapons are hammering the targets as your main/fore-slotted weapons are storing up power to unleash on the targets when they are brought to bear on them. Also the rear-fused/mounted weapons (tempest and maelstrom) would be there to boost your rear-weapon damage by having something more harder hitting than just turrets on the targets while you get into position for your next run on the target. I could see this being a straight buff to the damage of your forward-weapons regardless of their type, or as one that might give a different buff based on the type of your weapons, such as that torpedos might get a buff to their rate of fire while beams get a buff to their damage an cannons get a hybrid of both (a slightly lower buff to both damage an rate of fire.).

    Sell it alongside a T6 Hegh'ta / Haj BoP.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    The Intel warbird (Faeht) have a similar boff layout already, T6 Dhelan would probably have intel as well, meaning it would be pretty close to Faeht (without all the enh. battlecloak and not 6 intel boff skills but 3 etc) in terms of boff loadout and consoles and weapons... I don't think that warrants a new class.

    Now if the specs of Dhelan would change a bit, to incorporate Lt Intel on that universal, 5/2 weapon loadout, LtCmd Sci+Ens Sci, it could fill a niche that Rommies are missing at the moment.

    yes, the faeht has a similar boff layout, but the dhelan is more interesting for using different builds (I have both ships). Personally i'm not interested by the new skills (intel, cmd, pilot), I don't use them, but I don't think that a new dhelan would have intel; the faeht has already this role.

    a lt tactical instead of the ensign tactical would be very interesting for cannon builds.

    Throw a T6 Tempest or Saber in there and that's a 3-pack I'd love.

    I agree it would fit with these two ships in a bundle. most of all if they develop the idea of the tempest that it seemed more of a rear/after oriented ship, that would use the tempest cannon fused on the back boost the damage they deal during the time they are strafing off a target. I would rather see the tempest than the saber, but either would work i think. Though i am still holding out for a advanced research science ship bundle that i would hope will come along at some point too.

    I'd prefer the Sabre. The Tempest still stands up by itself today. The Sabre needs a little something. Plus a T6 Sabre would give the ship a hull remodel like the Akira, so I'd be almost done with my sigs collection of DS9 ships :).​​
