Eh nice 5 forward weapon slots I guess thats where he said I'll stop you right there LOL. Something tells me that unless I am completely wrong this further breaks the mold for the federation side leaving the KDF behind once again. Its nice to see that there will be a 5 slot ship in the game but I believe the KDF should have one as well.
This is the frustrating part that makes me not want to come to the forums. This is not a thread about the Marks issue, there are tons of others, but any thread about any topic I have to wade through piles of spam, please stop.
Now, as to the stats:
Wait, so all of the other three ship packs come with a lt. com universal slot, but not the Kumari. I'm really disappointed by that, it seems like these ships lose a lot in the versatility department. They should be brought up to par with the Odyssey and the Vesta.
So, when is the Vesta Pack gonna get their own "unique bridge", that is not simply a rehash of one of the old Cryptic-designs (i.e oversized, low-quality designs). Both the Odyssey Pack and the Andorian Pack get these fancy shiny unique bridges, yet the Vesta gets NONE?
these ships are completely suited to my playstyle and to those whom ar sayin this breaks pvp it is a glass cannon meaning it will die fast under heavy fire or sustained fire it also has extremely limited healing at the cost of just plowing through thing i for one am happy to claim this ship set
What did you change in the pictures? The ones before were all chrome, and these look flatter, which IMHO, is a good thing. I don't like ships looking like Hot Wheels.
Still not the Kumari I was looking for but not as bad as I thought, I guess.
Heh, the BOFF setup is the best, it's the 'Fed only' part that kills it (the 85 crew is it's deathnail, if it wasn't the funniest thing I've read today).
please tell me more about how are you plan to survive an elite STF with only one ensign engineer and a lieutenant science officer

RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.

I don't do STF's anymore, also I wouldn't do one in a fed ship. Might want to consider a 'team' aspect when doing an Elite, ask a friend to bring his healer and stay close.
Barring a dev saying otherwise, I would assume it is much like the TOS phasers. Stats-wise it is just another phaser weapon, but the coloring is different to be more in line with what was seen in Enterprise (in the Andorian Escorts case) for those who want the "most" canon accurate look. overall, I am content with cryptics offering. Will have to see if I really want to purchase the bundle or not. Don't usually buy three packs, but then Never really had an interest in them, as I don't care about the Odyssey (played it in the 2nd year anniversary and hated the boat of a turn rate) or the Vesta.
So Feds get yet annother 5 tac console ship and this time you give it 5 fore weapons as well? How in any way shape or form do you consider this balanced? The KDF still do not have a 5 tac console Raptor/BoP let alone somthing with 5 fore weapons, it just constantly feels like you guys at Cryptic are just trolling teh KDF now with releases like this and the vesta.

Most people have characters on both sides. You're not playing some exclusive faction, stop roleplaying as this bitter Klingon lol.

do note that all they did was take a weapon from the back and place it up front and also this will make even BoP's look tanky with the amount of heals this thing gets its just meant to punch faces in nothing more and i love that

You must remember, in exchange for this escort having 5 weapon slots (one taken directly from the back), it's ability to take damage is either terrible [tactical version], or subpar [the other two]
You get in these thing's forward arc, and you're dead... much like every other escort. But if you stay out of it, suddenly you realize they're as easy to pop as a balloon. Generally speaking
And like another said, stop being a bitter Klingon: it's gotten us nowhere. And another thing, it's not honorable to rage every chance you get

You're forgetting about the lieutenant Universal Almost anything could go in there for survivalibility
if you go with lt sci and ensign eng = you lose the reverse shield
if you go with lt eng and ensign sci = you either lose polarize hull or hazard emitters
maybe the Charal's configuration could work, but that's "only" have 4 tac consoles.
not saying that with the 3 piece console set, if you want to use all of them, you'll have to make big sacrafices (lose either EPS, armor(s)/plagint(s)/alloy(s), damage console(s), field generator(s) or borg/romulan repu console)
until today, i was about to BUY this ship. but now i don't see any reason why i should buy it, or why is it even better than my good ol' fleet defiant.

Well, to be fair, they've directly said this is a 'glass cannon' ship: built for damage, not a balanced approach.

1) Teamwork and timing is #1
2) You cannot "Kirk It" in every ship
3) You are going to die, just get back up

ok, i'll buy it

I can hear the cry of PvPers already.
This looks utterly fearsome. I have a feeling this is where ships are going heading into season 8 and this is just the first taste of more to come.

And I look forward to blowing them out of the sky.
