On a side note, I was hoping for more Fleet ships than just the Dreadnought. Especially for the KDF.
I wouldn't expect that to happen until May or later...they've got to spread stuff out throughout the year, even if it's already been done - otherwise there would be dry spells.
Hmm... not sure about this. Cool news and all that, but I was expecting a bit more than a switch from Ens. Tac to Ens. Uni and a hangar...
Agree.. is the same terrible ship but with Hangar..
Just a question, who is going to use that Ens uni as other thing that a tac uni? This ship not even compeat with the Sove or Excelsior!
Will the Fleet Dreadnought's be any different than just +10% stats and a console? A Lt.Cmdr. Uni perhaps? Because the "reboot" still doesn't address the fact that cannons are basically worthless on this ship, with the boff layout allowing for only one cannon ability.
This ship can not even use an aux2bat build like the sove or exelsior.. so, is not a healer, is not a damage dealer, and is not a debuffer.. is just the same useless ship with 10% more hull and hangar bay.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
I don't love the changes, but I do appreciate that cryptic listened to player feedback and revisited the ships. I'll likely support this and buy the 3 pack, I'm sure I can put the ships to use.
Is it possible to use the Dreadnought without the third nacelle ?
This! I like the gall-x but I've always preferred the standard galaxy look. Although the update is great news I'm kinda bummed there won't be any alteration to the gal-r's biff seating.

............ERRRMERRGEEEERRRRRD!!!!!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou. I honestly never thought I'd see any of this come about. I'll definitely be buying an extra fleet ship module so I can get both the fleet galaxy and the galx when they finally update and my fleet hits tier 4. Should be there by Thursday. My day just got a whole lot better.
So far, it looks to me like it's more the Galaxy Dreadnought that got the reboot. Aside from the console set bonus if you use the two consoles, it doesn't look like there's any change to the Galaxy Retrofit and the Fleet Galaxy.
I'm... well, not to rain on any parade, but I'm not all that enthused by this. Admittedly, I feel unconcerned - my love for the Galaxy-class died in Open Beta when its awful turn rate rendered it a deathtrap to captain and this isn't enough to rekindle it... even though today I'm okay with the Odyssey.
The real bright spot for me here is the Odyssey console set getting a little boost.
Oddly enough, I didn't expect this move toward improving the Galaxy Dreadnought - the timing just feels wrong. Considering the way the STO storyline was going, I was expecting something directed more the way of Voyager. Not that I'm that much a fan of Voyager, but it'd have felt more contextually connected.
One would hope for a seating like Cmdr Eng, LtCmdr Tac, LtCmdr Sci, Lt Eng, to use the cannon potential and throw out GWs like the NPC dreads do, since there's still a week to say 'hey that wouldn't be a bad idea' and all. Nice though.
Admittedly, I'm disappointed by the lack of Envoy/Celestial cosmetic options on the higher tiers.

It's been a long road, getting from there to here~
Used this when I was on tier IV and was not to impressed with the Galaxy so doubt I will buy this not even for the iconic bridge. However as a big TNG fan this is good news for all the Galaxy and Galaxy Dreadnaught users and fans. Now maybe they can revamp the Defiant and Voyager ships as well so Tacs and Science captain can enjoy the other iconic ships

1) There will be a fleet version, what is the 10th console (tac/eng/sci)?
2) What about players (lifetime or otherwise) that have already purchased (via zen or a token) the Galaxy Retrofit? What changes with that?
Whilst it's great to see the Galaxy finally get some love, I would have liked to see a bit more thought having gone in to a c-store pack release. Ideally, I'd have a Galaxy with a Lt.Cmd Science. There are few ships (based around cruisers) that fulfill the more scientific role at the moment, and this would have been a perfect way to utilize that.
Dual Pack, one with a Lt.Cmd Tactical, the other with a Lt.Cmd Science. Ensign slots to match? Heck, a guy can dream right? You could throw in a Lt.Cmd Universal (switch the Ensign to Engineering). You'd at least get a purchase out of me that way, unfortunately, as it stands, I have no interest. Sorry.
Cool stuff! Not quite cool enough to make me fly any of these as a regular ship, but cool enough for me to get my Gal-X out of mothballs and play around with it some more.

Really hoping for a Lt Cmdr Tac station.
Smirk, I love you, but right now I can't propose to you.
Gecko, I love you, will you marry me?
Also, I am DEFINITELY saving up for this new pack. Thank you, guys!

This Galaxy Bridge for free if you buy the pack
Is it the Order, Justice and Triumph pack or is it a new bridge?
Agree.. is the same terrible ship but with Hangar..
Just a question, who is going to use that Ens uni as other thing that a tac uni? This ship not even compeat with the Sove or Excelsior!
This ship can not even use an aux2bat build like the sove or exelsior.. so, is not a healer, is not a damage dealer, and is not a debuffer.. is just the same useless ship with 10% more hull and hangar bay.
So, what is your beef with the Galaxy Cryptic?
Sorry for bad english.

Kind of meh, to be honest.

Oh well.
It got bug fixes and basic mechanic updates. Not love.
Ok, hell must have frozen over by now and pigs are probably flying.
Anyway, its about time :P
