TY. It's nice to be able to full fit my ship with end game, traditional Phaser/ Quantum weaps. I will get other sets for PvP so I'm not a mark but for PvE, screen shots and just RPing, a classic Fed ship is what I like to see.
VM changes are evident but I am dual Tractor beam II spec'ed and between those and VM my crowd control is still formidable and the back bone to my combat.
I havent been to Alpha Memory. I dont know if anything got changed there or not.
I hear we can shield tank now. PvE it acts the same so far but PvE ships were only a threat in random circumstances anyway. I seem to be getting more FBP damage at the PvE level but enough that I am only forced to pay attention to it, not babysit it.
The only thing I don't like is that they require marks of exploration, and as far as I can tell, there's only 1 daily that gives Marks of Exploration. 5 per day.
9 days worth of mission grinding to get 6 phasers. 11 days to get a shield.
At this stage and for the forseeable future, its the last thing you will buy for an RA 5 though. A full purple fit is truly end game. I have the MK10 Cap X 2 from 5th tier badges and they are the same as the purple for shield strength. It will be the last thing I replace in the purples unless they offer a Covariant cap x 3
With no purple consoles, the immediate need to run dailies will run out much too fast, the same as leveling ended quickly.
I hope that eventually all exploration shops get access to all weapon types. Purples can still be restricted to the "special" dailiy mission things, that's fine with me.
