An Idea for the ship - Science Escort Carrier

trejgontrejgon Member Posts: 323 Arc User
Hello folks,
Recently I've noticed [once again] the cool design of armitage class, but as I'd love to pilot one neither alita nor armitage can satisfy my needs for sci magic.
So I've got an idea of a new ship that could be an interesting idea according to "The Science Channel" (as I consulted it there before even starting to write this post)

A Scientified Alita class - Science Escort Carrier [T6]
this would be probably a bundle of one FED one ROM and one KDF ship as it was with T6 escort Carriers.

a ship could look like a unlawfull child of recoinassance science vessel and armitage (to visualise he idea better - take the saucer from the comet class and put it into armitage model + some adjustments to make it consistent model)

It would sacrifice Tactical prowess for gaining it's ability of sci magic
[5sci 3eng 2 tac console layout]
similary It'd revert tactical to science Boff stations ratio

I'm not sure if it should get access to secondary deflector dish and sensor analisys but if It would I'd definitely love it even more :P

such a ship would go with a console that would set up as a 4th console into current heavy escort carrier sets.
I'm not sure though about what that console should do and what the set bonus for 4th piece set should be bu deffinitely those should be more sci-oriented than previosu things

I've got an idea for a starship trait:
[no idea for the name though]:
"using science-based buff ability on either you or your teammate causes all your pets receive X% of it's bonus as well"
where X is a question about balance as giving all the bonuses could prove kinda overpowered

What do you folks think about such a ship?
The more opinions, the better chances Cryptic will notice :)

EDIT: corrected wording to avoid profanities

    except T6 vesta does not use heavy escort skin and does not set up with heavy escort set...
    adn probably would be a 3-ship bundle [mean 3 ships per faction so 9 ships in overal]

    Sounds a lot like the breen carrier.
    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.

    well tbh I haven't checked breen ships at all as they have kinda.... weird tastes on how ship should look like :P

    Well i can safely say this will never ever ever ever ever ever ever happen.

    I'm sorry your favorite ship skin isn't attached to a science ship but Im afraid you'll just have to adapt.

    TBH the T6 Prommy satisfies it, providing you have the MVAM console from the T5 MVA Prommy. Despite a few people's opinions, I find it's Sci abilities decent and you get 2 more escorts as pets when seperated. The only downside is it doesn't benefit from any Hangar Pet buffs. The Vesta, whilst fulfulling an 'Escort' type Sci role lacks the punch of a true Escort.
    "You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    TBH it is more likely to happen than a T6 vesta bundle from the last time I checked on T6 Vesta "issues" :P

    do I know if favourite? one of really good though :P

    I can live without it though but It'd mean that I'm not buying Armitage and Alita ships...

    well yeah T6 advanced escort is one of those that can be succesfully scientified in current state and at some point I was considering such a thing, but that idea of mine run abroad issue of not having access to T4 fleet shipyards for best variants of skin :P

    but then we are on topic of armitage class, and possibility of scientifying it.
