Now I'm not one of the people that think the Galaxy nor the Galaxy-X is broken in any way, nor do I think it needs to give in to the need for DPS in this (IMO flawed) heavy-DPS demanding environment. But I do have one request for my fellow STO players that do. I think they at least deserve to know why most of their requests were not met in the Galaxy Reboot. So please let us know why you have made the decisions that you did.
Just to be fair. Thank you.

Doesn't seem that way though does it ?
Asa they clearly ignore all player feedback, not like i remember before PWE when they used to listen.
1- The very first post in the Galaxy Beef megathread asked for an extra tactical console. The Fleet X is getting an extra tactical console.
2- Quite a lot of posts talked about the possibility of adding a hangar to the ship. The X is getting a hangar.
3- The shotgun thingie does seem to improve the phaser lance. Which is something a lot of people asked for.
4- The set bonus and the saucer separation help the ship turn better, which was also a long standing complaint.
Taken in context, the Devs appear to have listened to quite a bit of feedback. They just didn't implement all of the suggestions given.
The feedback system does work. Doesn't work perfectly, but it does work.
EDIT: I also think if you all want more changes, just keep giving feedback. They've made further tweaks after ships have been released in the past.
A great example of this is ... the Galaxy X. Which debuted with just 7 weapons. And many months later, after quite a lot of feedback, they upped to 8 weapons.
Just because they don't do what posters say doesn't mean they don't read what we say.
Agreed.

Ya know what? I'm pretty sure I'm buying it. Just for the "Oh! Cool!" Factor when I pop out of cloak, lance something then watch as my saucer flys away, spewing antimatter at my adversaries. Epic. Fun.
Even if it is as horrible a ship as some seem to be implying, one could liken my approach to this as the guy who buys the Army Surplus tanks. He can't drive the thing to work, but driving over junk cars with it in his backyard sure looks like fun!!
So, there. If the devs decide to improve on the ship even farther, great. If not, well I suspect some won't buy it because they feel slighted, it might be good to throw them a bone, but I plan on doing what I intended to do when I signed up for this game: Have. Fun. Epic. Fun.
Y'all should try it someday.
Probably the same place as our fixed uniforms.
Man i would love that. I bet they would cut the event short and run off the stage. I have never seen this much bad feedback from something and they just ignore it. Heck maybe its not them but their new bosses.
Arc. This is nothing compared to the amount of bad feedback that it gets.
it cant compete at... what? staying alive? your own fault, the galaxy's a best tank. DPS? its not meant to go home. the statement "it did horrible in no-win, clearly it needs to be buffed". has anyone considered that some ships are designed to be better at some missions and not so great in others? no one would suggest a vesta to be good in no-win, yet i havent heard any cries for it to be buffed.
there's some missions where different ships will do better then others. in CCE, galaxies are amazing for their tanking power, which does help them get first place as healing is counted towards 1st place.
a escort is good where speed and sustained damage is good, but in a situation like CCE, they can get torn apart easily by not noticing a few fragments and getting crushed by them, but take them into an ISE, or a KASE, and they'll be the best ones there most likely.
you wouldnt take a voquv into a race and expect to win, why would you think a galaxy should be able to do everything as good as everyone else? it does have it's place and if your not playing that area of the game, its your fault, not the ship or the devs. that's like me saying that because i'm a multivector i should be able to do both all the damage and all the tanking for every STF, PVP, and warzone in the game. learn your place people, just because it's your favorite, doesnt mean it'll be the best for what you wanna do.
i think the only people that have anything to complain about is science. when have you heard anyone say "wanna do better in ____? fly a intrepid/vesta/nebula". the galaxy actually has the role of tank, which against what most people say does have a place in the game if not a big one.
the real question shouldnt be "whats your beef with the galaxy" but instead "whats your beef with tanking?"
It is the game's fault, though. It is too easy at the beginning and so the players never need to learn how to do teamwork, or tank, or whatever. They are totally unprepared for everything that comes after the missions end - and it does not matter what ship they are using.

Demanding the Devs to answer for the decisions for me is not on. ALL the devs work bloody hard at giving us the game. We the players are not in any position to make demands on them.
It's not. Even as is it can break 20k dps on a tac captain. Most people who play this game can't fit a ship to save their own lives.

We're customers.
We have every right.
Threads posted like a demand are never taken seriously and given the amount of vitriol being exhibited in the forms right now regarding the Galaxy, no Dev would have any reason to want to expose themselves to it.
The first post of the "Galaxy Beef megathread" asked for an extra tactical console?
You are talking about this one right?
Here is the first post from that 600+ page thread:
Where is the request for a console?
People have been giving feedback, incredibly legitimate and critical feedback - and you know this because you are one of the many die-hard Cryptic sycophants who took it upon themselves to derail those threads by diluting them with vacuous and hostile responses.
Your tune may have changed, potentially because of the warnings that I understand were universally tossed around by moderators for the vitriol, but the stench never will.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
You might want to take a look at the latest Tribble patch notes........
They'll make your day.

The entire post is about tactical consoles and tactical power. Either you're immensely obtuse because it's not spelled out exactly as "Add tactical console" or you're just being bad at trolling.
um...no
Take it from someone in customer service, you don't have squat. You can either pay for it or not, that's your only right. The customer is always WRONG!
Or should I just merge it now?
Because I'm not seeing any attempt to ask the devs specific questions about design decisions.
If you want some kind of response, I'd suggest starting with the blog post from Geko and work your way out from there.
No Dev is likely going to get on here and start rambling about the Galaxy design. But they might answer specific questions.
Like...
How does making the Ensign Tac slot universal help the Galaxy-X to be more effective?
What other BOFF layouts did you consider during the design process, and why were they rejected?
Why does the Galaxy-X need a hangar? Why not the Galaxy-R?

No. The Fleet Dread is fine. It is also the only 4 tac console ship the Feds have that can keep EPTW-3 on constant rotation which also gives a hefty damage bonus. It can use basic attack patterns and FAW and the dreaded A2B build that everyone with no imagination has fallen in love with. It's a fine ship and it will hold its own next to the other tac cruisers with ease.
Do what you gotta do, BG. Hope the devs saw it already and are considering shedding some light on the reason for their decisions.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Oh wow.
Just wow.
So like back before the PWE merger forced account shenangians and I had to get stuck with a new account and name, I posted under the name Superchum.
I'm not at all a "die-hard Cryptic sycophant."
I just chilled the heck out.
Someday you will too.
Until then ... man, you just made my day. Neither Wishstone nor Stormshade would ever have characterized me as that.
+1 good sir!
