Danube-class Runabout?

I was exploring DS9 and found that you can purchase one of these.

Do missions scale for this ship? Or is pretty much for RP purposes?

As soon as I have enough EC I'll pick one up in any case.

Cheers.

    Missions don't scale... It's pretty much only for role-play. It can cause some bugs with your stats not showing up properly when you switch back to your regular vessel, so beware.

    I dunno...outfit it with purple rank X gear and it might do ok. Especially to help lower leveled friends out in their missions if you don't want to completely dominate the field.

    I don't think you can equip different weapons, shields etc. Would love to be proved wrong however.

    You can equip different items on the runabout but with a 60% reduction in stats or something simular to that.

    Missions do not scale for any ship type, most missions scale strictly with your rank.

    The runabout is mostly a fun vessel, and it is quite entertaining at that. However, if you buy a runabout, there is a bug that messes up your shown stats for all your ships, reducing all depicted info to about 60% of their original value.
    As far as I know your ships will still perform normally, but all shown stats will be inaccurate.

    you can't rename it from "Danube Class Runabout".

    It's not a powerful ship, but it's fun to play. Very zippy. Sometimes I just take mine to Starbase 24 for fun. And I kinda like to put gear in it.

    But don't get me wrong. In a real mission I would never use it.

    Oh, and why can't we name our runabouts? I would like to name mine someday.

    Consider yourself proven wrong <G>. I changed the weapons and shields when I bought mine at Cpt9. Took it on a few early missions I hadn't gotten around to when I was an LT, much to the surprise of the folks who were instagrouped with me.

    Don't make any mistake about the Runabouts. They do make excellent vapor and debris clouds. :D
