what happened to the 20 turn rate? by how small it is, it should at least get 18. its only got 6 weapons, and is very fragile, and doesn't even have a cloak like a bop
Lion Heart of Hammer Squadron
Speaking on the last one. I bought a couple things I thought were poloron turrets but turned out to be dual cannons. I forget which one now but pretty sure they were labled poloron Turret and when you looked they turned out to be dual cannons.
Should be N.S.P. That's what Vulcan ships use.
That's only for ships that are part of the Vulcan National Merchant Fleet. For ships with other Vulcan organizations, no registry numbers were ever given in canon sources.
Fed escorts only?

I doubt we will be seeing THAT anytime soon
*Junior Tactical Officer* But sir the cube IS right in front of us.
*Me* EXACTLY! Its right in front of us and you still missed it! Just step away from the console.
Escorts are more than enough maneuverable already.
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
Agreed, this doesn't make any sense, unless there is something special about Aquarius that no one knows about?.
No they do not, they aren't turn boats, they are tanks.

no they dont. the heavy cruiser is just awesome. and if you think you are turning too slow, there are always escorts to protect you
If it were to stay in line with the Vulcan ships we've seen ingame, the name Prefix should probably be V.S. instead of V.S.S..

Yay on the pathing fix!
The name fix reminds me of a problem with the Borg Standard Issue Stf Gear, Particularly Split beams, they are wrongly named as Assault Miniguns with the examine text of splitbeams.
e.g.
A MKXII Plasma Splitbeam is wrongly named a MKXII Plasma assault minigun
Cruisers are the iconic ships of star trek, not escorts.
For the devs, cruisers are good to make $$, because they are popular, but thats all.
Escorts are still the devs favorite ships. They get any advantage the devs can find, that just makes me sick.
Seeing Cruisers so disadvantaged and useless, shows how careles the devs are when it comes to ships. They just want their escorts get every advantage, why dont you just give them some more extra weapons power (+50) or some additional Cmdr. Enigneering BOFF?
Is it so hard to understand that in Star Trek cruisers are not just tanks, they are the biggest, and most powerful and dangerous ships. Escorts are just some small special ships that can generat high burst damage for a short time, but they aren't good on their own. Cruisers shouldn't need protection of escorts, it's the other way round.
Giving Escorts even more maneuverability shows the devs haven't understood anything about star trek at all. (or they just don't care, and want to boost their favourite ships even more)
Seriously i'm really infuriated about this.:mad:
Can I get confirmation they remembered to include the Tal'Kyr Support ship with the D'Kyr for the V.S.S. and VS options?

Fed Armada: Section 31 (level 730, 2700+ members)
KDF Armada: Klingon Intelligence (level 699, 2100+ members)
Like they would look that up...?:rolleyes:
But yes, that too would be nice in addition to the new registry!!!
Well the ships, (escort, fleet escort, and escort retrofit) and (aquarius) are all very flimsy federation ships, i thought the +1 turn rate was BECAUSE they are too flimsy? (just my best guess :P)
Also, how are we gonna recognise the NPC Azura and Vov'wI from the player ones?
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Seriously, do you not want to sell the Aquarius to a broader audience than will likely buy it?
This ship is the worst of the worst, a turn rate of 20 would have made it serviceably bad but not laughably bad. Now it remains in the latter category.
I'm not sure how anyone can look at the Aquarius and say that it does not need a buff with a straight face.
I'll just quote myself.
(Due to several ships having different shield mods than was actually listed, it's possible parts of this are inaccurate - please feel free to correct me.)
I'm not saying this ship needs to have a Battle Cloak - but it certainly needs to have something so it isn't one of the worst examples of a noob trap available.
What - and you are honestly going to tell me "with a straight-face" that the KDF ships are remotely balanced in comparison..............................
Yes. I can see how the KDF Fleet Escorts and Fleet BOP are grossly overpowered Goliaths that can withstand anything.... :rolleyes:
