Cat Carrier needs universal Lt. Cmdr slot

edited May 2012 in Federation Discussion
Having played on the Klingon side for months with a few different carriers, I can say that with only one carrier to choose from on the Fed side, the Cat carrier really needs the Lt. Cmdr Science station to be a universal station so there's at least some ability to customize it to fit your play style.

    Kar'fi's don't have universal slots. The only reason they have a LTC tactical and a Lt Tactical is because they are a Battle Carrier.

    Besides, doesn't the Federation not put as much emphasis on battle as the Klingons? Or at used to?

    They also do not get all the built in skills of a sci ship like the sci carriers do, meaning they dont get the targeting abilities or the enhanced cloak detection.

    The only thing that the kar'fi (Or Karp as some like to call it) has in common with the klingon sci carrier and the fed cat carrier is that they can both spam fighters. Oh and it dosent have any uni slots either so i have no idea where you got the idea the Flying Kittybox should have them.

    I have a feeling he just wants the Lt. commander to be universal since the oddy has one.

    Kitty carrier is a sci ship , Vo'quv is a sci ship, karp is a tac ship

    oddy=Multirole hence the uni slot

    Bop=Multirole

    people need to learn to play ships designed for their class or stop complaining

    It doesn't need a universal LtCmdr slot, since the best possible slot for this ship is a science one. One more tac console would cripple this ship, seriously. You just need to learn to play with it.

    With this carrier, don't do dps yourself, debuff targets so that your pets can kill them quickly. If you need this universal slot, then you should learn a bit more about the game.

    With this carrier, i often have the 1st dps in several fleet actions, and it happens in pvp too. My pets do that for me. I just have a good build.

    The Kar'fi is still a science ship, it has a commander science station and 4 science consoles. It is however a more tactical focused science ship in it's bridge layout and does lack the subsystem targeting of the other science vessels.

    My point is that there are multiple carriers on the Klingon side that allows you choose a engineering, science, or (slightly) tactial playstyle. Since the Fed only has one carrier (and chances are they aren't going to get another one anytime soon given they just got this one), it should offer a universal station to give you some room to fit your playstyle.

    The reason I say this is that I don't see them offering another carrier anytime in the next year, unless they go the Oddy route and sell the same ship with different layouts. Which they may well do that for the money grab.

    Ships fine as it is, it's a support ship, doesn't need any extra bells and whistles to fulfill its role in an organized team.

    If Chewbacca doesn't live on Endor, then you must stop asking for a universal slot. Debate over

    The Atrox is fine as is. Took her out in STF's and PvP on a few occasions. I found the experience, quite enjoyable. Not my goto ship by any means but certainly a suitable diversion.

    The Atrox is a very very big DSSV It trades a large amount of turn rate and sensor analysis for 2 hanger slots 1 device slot and double the hull. It has a slight improvement on the DSSV's excellent boff layout and identical console setup.
