In the last podcast, Captain Geko said of a time the the saucer sep. console would be allowed to use on the Gal-X, if I have it.

So if Im'going to want to use saucer sep on the Gal-X I would need to buy the Galaxy Retrofit is that right, why can't it use the chevron sep. console from the Odyssey?
That sounds a bit unfair

I think that the devs are like Ferengis,

They like to see profit in all

    I'd actually like to see reasonably priced C-Store consoles, stuff that is very cheap yet ONLY available via C-Store Stuff that could expand ships ability's like separations, or something...I dunno, lol just a thought

    Saucer Sep isn't usable on the Odyssey, why should Chevron sep be usable on the Galaxy? Same goes with the Multi-Vector Assault Mode console.

    Honestly saucer sep on the Gal-X is one of the lamest things I've heard of. What happens to the lance during this? I thought the main reason the Gal-X couldn't separate was because of how they built the lance under the saucer?

    If anything I'd much rather see them give us a manuevering thrusters console for the Gal-X or something to actually boost the turn rate.

    ''The Dreadnought Cruiser's Phaser Spinal Lance is a devastating weapon. Built into the entire structure, or "spine", of the hull, this weapon cannot be removed.'When the saucer is separated, the firing chamber is removed and the Lance is no longer able to fire a concentrated beam at long range.However, the weapons is still useful.With the firing chamber disengaged,the Phaser Lances fires a powerful wide beam. The Wide Beam lacks the directed fire power and range, but it can now hit multiple targets.''

    It's there, see for yourself.

    dude, take a look at activision or ea...
    they would try to charge you 50 bucks per season of content. probably without even letting you see what you where paying for.

    not only that but they would ;
    charge you for a pvp activation code,
    charge you for all the vanity add-ons,
    charge you for the pvp maps,
    charge you for new modes on those maps.

    and they would try to charge you 80 bucks for that a year before they even start working on it.
    all the while claiming you are saving money because their half hearted attempt at map design is worth 150 bucks

    oh, but 3 years after launch they may release a mode where you get to use an avatar to spectate others playing.

    so really, cracks are one thing, but a bit of perspective.



    fleet c-store blueprints would be a good way to go for that.
    it monetises a service that people want, but if they had to be in a fleet & get crafting mats it would subvert pay to win by keeping the best stuff as play stuff.

    At least their stuff works and is balanced damn id pay thousands to play a balanced and functional sto

    hahahaha, rubbish.
    fn-fal for activision.
    m16 for EA.

    EA an activison is no better than Cryptic, but I have to agree with him that the game is unbalanced, I would not pay for that because these changes are meant to be free

    Yeah, this is a silly question. I'd be happy to have Chevron Sep console work on the GalX when they patch in Saucer Sep as long as I can put my Saucer Sep console on my Odyssey Star Cruiser and get Chevron mode. : )

    In the start why Cryptic did have to make a different console for the Odyssey anyway?

    Not sure, to be honest. It's a console, meaning it handles a specific function. Although the Odyssey is 70 years newer than the Galaxy-class, I can't see how there would be so much difference in the physical separation of two hulls. Likewise, a newer console like the Chevron console should be able to work the much simpler Galaxy-class undocking/separation procedure.

    Won't happen. The Galaxy X wasn't dssigned to handle the separation consoles. The spinal lance would be negated, and perhaps kill the ship's best ability. Probably better to use that console on a standard galaxy platform

    How many time I need to repeat this?

    (taken directly from the game's description)
    ''The Dreadnought Cruiser's Phaser Spinal Lance is a devastating weapon. Built into the entire structure, or "spine", of the hull, this weapon cannot be removed.'When the saucer is separated, the firing chamber is removed and the Lance is no longer able to fire a concentrated beam at long range.However, the weapons is still useful.With the firing chamber disengaged,the Phaser Lances fires a powerful wide beam.

    To those who think adding the Odyssey Op Cruiser's Console for the Gal-X, understand this: Like caio has posted twice already, there is tech to allow the Gal Retrofit's Console on the Gal-X already in the pipeline. The Tech was supposed to be apart of a Galaxy/Galaxy-X update pack from summer last year, IIRC, that got put on the back-burnner.

    If the Odyssey 3-pack Consoles were to be allowable anywhere else, it should be on the Odyssey Star Cruiser! Hell, that would give me a reason to get the Op Cruiser, if nothing else.

    Thank you for the time...
