Hey all,

Is there any type of sub-system targeting that is in this game? I haven't noticed, but any help here? Thanks.

    Tactical BOs can get abilities to target sub-systems and all science ships have the ability to target sub-systems.

    Cool! I'm surprised escorts don't have this ability, this is their job...

    Federation Science Vessels at all available Tiers as well as the T5 Klingon Carrier have access to Target Subsystem ___ 1 for all systems, at no cost to any precious BO slots, so this is pretty nice.

    Tactical Officers at T2 can learn v2 of those same skills.

    well, they do and they don't.

    If you so choose you can load up your BOs with the different targeting skills, but that obviously means that you can't pick other (prolly more helpful) skills.

    And it kinda makes since that a science ship would be able to do this thanks to the fact that they have better sensors that would allow them to find and target the points on an enemy ship that would take out key systems.

    im still staying strong in my opinion that some abilitys, like tractor beam and subsystem targeting should be avilable on ALL ships.

    they are, my assault cruiser could be loaded out to have tractor beam 1 or 2, target subsystem "X" 1 (twice), and target subsystem "X" 2 (once).


    Its all in the BO skills. WE choose not to have those abilities. I would much rather have scramble sensors, sci team, HYT1, DPA1, etc. than those abilities.
