Cryptics Excelsior Description...

doesn't seem to be right.

http://startrekonline.com/ships/excelsior

I spent over 140000 energy credits to find it only has 3 fore and 3 aft weapon slots.
Not 4 as in description. I see no difference (vs. heavy cruiser) except the Excelsior has 250 more crew... Bummer.

Am i missing something?

    That description is given for the T5 "Advanced Heavy Cruiser." You purchased the T3 "Heavy Cruiser" model for 137k credits. The T5 can only be gotten from the c-store.

    Yes, that's the description of the T5 Excelsior refit from the C-Store. The normal Excelsior is just a heavy cruiser with more crew and transwarp drive.

    Edit: Why are there so many Ninjas in the STO forum?:D

    This. It's still better than the standard offerings.

    Ah. I see. That wasn't explained in the description.

    "A retrofit of the iconic Excelsior class as seen in Star Trek: Generations, this ship has the weapons and power needed to tackle anything from a training cruise in the Sol system to a race to the Galactic Barrier. The Excelsior also boasts a Transwarp drive that can be activated in system space for rapid travel to numerous sector blocks."

    Though it does "retrofit", It wasn't implied I had to buy the retrofit at the C Store...

    From C Store description:

    "Note: This ship may only be purchased by Federation captains that have attained Rear Admiral or higher rank. Purchasing this ship from the C-Store unlocks this ship with the "Enterprise-B" ship costume as well as the classic "Excelsior" ship costume for all Federation Rear Admirals on an account."

    I bought the ship as Captain. I guess I just have to wait til RA rank. I only wish I knew that before...

    No big deal. I still am really enjoying the game.
