    A fleet mate informed me that the Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit is only available at Tier 3. I don't know how long it takes to get there, but one of the fleet leaders said it's going to take about 7 months to get the the max tier.

    well, got in, lets see...

    fleet assult cruiser still missing, still no fleet advanced escort

    every item that gave +18 now gives +17.5. the only effectiveness decrease i have found is with the field generators. thats right, field generators nerfed!

    i noticed this on tribble a few days ago. on holodeck the other day, on my excelsior with mkXI maco and 2 generators had 11402 per faceing, now its 10902! my hull armor didn't change with my now 17.5 resist all armor, still at 29.4.

    my excelsior hitpoints with 6 into structural integrity is now 53821, christ thats like almost a 10k increase from before i think! lol@ highest hitpoint cruiser in the game being the excelsior, LOfrickingL

    Oddly, I have always noticed that things worked better stat-wise on Tribble than they do on Holodeck.
    Got tired of having tested good builds on Tribble only to recreate them on Holodeck and have them be crappy.
    Overall, just tired of the up/down bugged nature of the game as it is.

    For some reason they upped its hps to base of 42900. Just for comparison a fleet galaxy-r has 44000 :rolleyes:

    When you look on it from RA perspective. The excelsior has 2900 more hps than VA Galaxy-R. Which has -2 turn rate. LOL Some dev must seriously have some issues with Galaxy.

    To be fair I think most people with a sense of good taste have issues with the Galaxy. :P

    Which sense ? Obviously the change lacks common sense. Yes, Galaxy is TRIBBLE for PvP, everyone knows that, but that's not reason to make it the worst cruiser out there even in PvE.

    Usually (until now), more hps means lower turn rate on the fed side...well now we have the exception on the rule.

    Seriously would like to know (the sick) reasoning behind this (idiotic) change. My hate towards the antiquated piece of junk Excelsior increased.

    Good taste in aesthetics of course. And good taste of practicality. The Galaxy Fails both of these and always has ever since it's debut in TNG. It's a Love Boat with Phasers.

    The Excelsior on the other hand got to be viable and used all the way up till the current timeline in trek because it was built to beat the snot out of klinks, from the ground up, and is canonically more readily upgraded than the Galaxy. It's also sleek, more armored, and has more Guns, with much larger (in proportion to the ship) Nacelles which give it a much better power reserve.

    Now that the Canon, RP, and Good Taste Issues are put aside, even if they gave the Galaxy R more Hp, it will still come up short to the Assault Cruiser, Excelsior, Oddy, Starcruiser or any other cruiser you could put in. (especially it's counterpart the Neghvar) simply due to it's abysmal Inertia, Turn rate, and then the final death nail, the Bofflayout.

    Cryptic could give it a 60k hull and it would still be garbage to field in pvp, or pve due to it's consoles, boffs and abhorrent turn rate/inerta.

    Seriously doesn't matter. Both ships cost 2000 ZEN, only that matters. Excelsior is RA!!!, Galaxy-R is VA! Just because Galaxy is TRIBBLE in STO and has no impact on pvp balance it shouldn't be right.

    If Defiant got a sudden 10K boost to hps, just because it is Defiant, you would be one of the first to cry "BALANCE". Or, if some other RA ship outperfomed Fleet ships by large margin.

    If someone feels Galaxy-R is such TRIBBLE, they should stop selling it. Because really it's just a trap for a stupid fanboy customer. And just for the record, I'm not one of these - i just happen to like the ship more than other cruisers.

    Oh I agree with you. Monetary Costed Ships should be on par with each other. At least certainly with the lockboxes as potentially you frankly can get lucky and only pay 100 cpoints (zen whatever) and get a lockbox ship which is superior to 2k cpointed ships.

    As far as the defiant goes, if they gave it 10k hull unless they gave it shields to match the bug would still be better. (cause they -did- give the bug yet even more hull.. something like 5k more hull and 2k more shields and a 5th tac console.. it's better than Fleet Ships, which you spend 20 dollars or so for, AND weeks of grinding. You can imagine how pissed I am about a ship that was Already The Best Ship In The Game getting even Better, when you can get it for potentially only a couple hundred cpoints, or just buy it with EC)

    I don't think they will stop selling the Failaxy though, they make money off of a ship model that was already in the game. It's basically free money from whoever is unfortunate enough to buy it. That being said the Failaxy R is "better" for an Engineer than the Excelsior is, in regards to it's boff layout. Unfortunately it's easily the worst cruiser in the game for everyone else, quite literally.

    and thats all they did to the fleet galaxy, more worthless hitpoints and a console it didn't need. not a single shortcoming that ruins it completely was addressed.

    That would require a working knowledge of the game. Not just data, but a knowledge of "how" does the game actually play, vs how we created it to play.
