-The tv show explicetly states intrepid was designed for combat... with 2 tac consoles? only 3 for the fleet? seriously?
The intrepid is a science ship, mainly focussed on science skills (more than some science ships). you should have checked that before you bought it. compare.
-The HP on this ship is so low that it alone is reason enough not to fly this ship.
That you should also have checked. If you compare it to other science vessels you will see that the ones with the highest HP are the Atrox Carriers (those are massive). After that, the Nebula class which is the Galaxy Class' sister. Then you get the Dyson ships (and the developers did a pretty good job in making those badass. don't forget that they have a tactical mode aswell which makes them more suitable for combat), 3 or 4 more ships and THEN the intrepid. Also keep in mind that the intrepid has been around since the beginning of the game and that new ships are technologically more advanced because the developers need to improve that, and this is a game with a timeline so its only logical that technology improves.
If it didnt look like voyager, this ship would be worthless in game. This ship really needs a reboot..
It does look like voyager, but why are looks even bothering you if you worry so much about the performance? and it doesn't need a reboot. it's becoming outdated in the star trek universe, Starfleet will make new ships that are capable of more.
Why does a sci ship need more then 3 tact consoles? -.- Also why do people think voyagers a war ship, it wasnt in the show and its sure as hell not in the game...its specifically says science vessal with a 3/3 layout and sub targeting
for real? that is equal to or more than most armor or damage resistance skills.

Happy your gal X is amazing, I can't disagree that that ship isn't totally awesome
What episode did they state the Intrepid was designed for combat?
The very first i believe
Its a destroyer......STO made it a science ship for this game and STO doesnt make canon they butcher it
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Only there could someone say Intrepid bad GalX good. lmao
All well new player I guess. My friend it is a Science ship in STO. As science ships go it is one of the best in the game. You shouldn't be all that concerned about tac slots.
This thread makes me sad ... And happy ... mainly because it's obvious the OP doesn't know how to fly a Science ship or ... HAVE FUN! ... in STO and because I just got the C-Store Intrepid for my Tac Captain for Lolz, and guess what? I'm having a blast with it!!!
However i would like to see an update to the venerable Intrepid, after all, it must be agreed that it is one of the ships, like the Enterprise (in all her guises) and the Defiant, that are most recognized by people ... IMHO they would be considered 'Starship Royalty"
I'd likie to see a slight update on the Fleet Version and also a C-Store "Triple Pack" something like this:
Intrepid Fleet Retrofit Sci Destroyer(Warship Voyager sort of)

yes, a ship that boasted the best navigational sensors of any star fleet ship was designed for combat. lol. yes, sensors that are best at finding systems and anomolies in your navigational routes are of course, best suited fr attack ships, not science ships.
I've always wanted one, and bought one from a T5 shipyard, the hull is good.. you can get over 40K Hull, and can really rock the science abilities. I Love the fact that in that ship you really don't have to worry about power requirements, with the sci skills available.. And I'm not blasting things like the 40K dps'ers do, but for around 6K for a science vessel isn't bad at all.
I haven't regretted getting mine. It's awesome. Here's maybe a help with my boff layouts and hardware/parts.

I, for one, consider that the passive bonuses of the Fleet Intrepid provide some rather stiff competition on to the Vesta-derived classes.
In my opinion:
the auxiliary-powered cannons are overated, and kind of shoehorn you into a certain playstyle which is not all that good for science ships. Most of the Vesta consoles feel like pure gadgetry due to their nature as active powers (without any meatier passive bonuses coming with them, making slotting them a rather costy loss in general performance). The Vesta's hangar is generally more a hassle to handle and what it produces is usually swatted down like mayflies. It's also really, really brittle.
By comparison, the Fleet Intrepid seems to stand elbow-to-elbow with the Engineering-focused Rademaker-class. It offers different strengths, but that depends on how much and what you value. I feel out of love with the Aux cannons and hangars, so - to me, the Vesta's value decreased. In which case, the Fleet Intrepid just feels superior to me.
This said, my favorite probably would've been the Luna-class... if only the in-game model didn't look like it had aged so badly. This thing really needs the 2409 refit treatment.
I never used the auxiliary cannons or console of my tac Vesta and I think it's the absolutely best Federation ship at the moment. The only one that could maybe stand up to it is the fleet Avenger. I had an Intrepid for a while and either it's bad, or it doesn't fit my playstyle at all.

...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
While it's not for everyone, the Intrepid can be a rather amazing ship, like any other I'm sure. In my Fleet Intrepid I'm getting close to a 3 ESTF average of 10K DPS. Not exactly a power house but quite respectable, IMO, and yet to reach it's potential. Coupled with 2 GW's that can pull ships from roughly 9K away, exotic dmg abilites CD reduction, high power transfer rate for fast situation based manual power switching, 45K hull, 17.5K shields (with no field generator consoles), high kinetic resist, just a little over 30% energy weapon resist across the board, turn rate of 32.5 and several of both shield and hull heals with CD reducing doffs, my Intrepid is an AOE CC DPS heal/tank.
An Engineer Captains that ship, it's potent. Miracle worker with the Grace Under Pressure trait really add another layer to the vessel. I won't claim to be completely without bias on the matter (my absolute favorite ship!) but my above claims are not exaggerated. There are, of course, areas that would benefit from improvement, though that is not exclusive to the Intrepid. If you don't like it, cool, I'm good with it. But if you do... good on ya friend, enjoy her!
I assume he was referring to the Warship Voyager. He also said it was designed for battle, even though it was a science ship. I'm still looking for the pulse canons, though.
It's the worst TRIBBLE in the game. Just bought it. Instant regret.
WTF?
-NO pulse cannons?
-Armor is only 15 sec? that's 150% worthless.
-The tv show explicetly states intrepid was designed for combat... with 2 tac consoles? only 3 for the fleet? seriously?
-The HP on this ship is so low that it alone is reason enough not to fly this ship.
-no emh feature?
If it didnt look like voyager, this ship would be worthless in game. This ship really needs a reboot..
ps: my gal x is amazing. thx. do that magic again!!
Same for me I bought Intrepid tier 5 fleet edition and it sucks after Galaxy X came out updated I bought the X and put over all weapons and bought a ship with the phaser pulse cannon placed it on the X plus the special torpedo bay it's a great ship now much better then the Intrepid...

I used the T5 intrepid for the longest time before upgrading to the fleet one. Anybody who says it's a terrible ship does not know how to utilize it properly. The Intrepid is a science ship in STO, you can clearly see the stats on the c-store page before buying it. The Intrepid has great potential for superior AoE damage that the OP clearly isn't utilizing. I can't stand using any of the Vesta ships anymore since I feel they are inferior to the Fleet Intrepid. I can absolutely wreck cruisers and large groups in the MIE with a well built ship (http://tinyurl.com/l2rjtj7). You may want to try it out sometime, the Intrepid is a good ship.
Next time, before buying a ship, be sure to read over the stats before buying.
P.S. This is STO, many things that were in the show are not translated over due to balancing. By using the logic of OP, Transphasic torpedos should by all rights destroy borg cubes in 1-2 shots, and the Galaxy-x shouldn't exist since that was from an alternate future.
P.P.S. Even if it didn't look like voyager, I would still fly it for the BoFF layout and stats since it fits my needs.
All I have to say about this pointless debate. Nowhere is it even mentioned the ship is classed as a destroyer, nor is it mentioned anywhere in the series. Get your facts straight OP. The ship is functionin the same way it has for 4 years now. It's console is still nice, and this ship can still compete against other "newer" ships of the same class if used by someone who has some skill. This is not a tactical ship, this is not a cruser, this is not an escort nor a destroyer. it is a science ship. Try reading before clicking the magic "spend money here" button. And because you couldn't read, you have brought much annoyance here to these forums. Let me guess, you couldnt make an effective aux2bat build with it and because of that its instantly trash? about sum it up?
I am an avid supporter of a revamp of this ship, but not a tactical revamp. This ship is iconically a science vessle made for long range exploration...treet it as such! This kind of post only serves to ruin the cause of hoping for a revamp of the ship.

There was already a thread in the Shipyard section with a heated conversation. Basically, the OP there said the same thing but had no proof except for "I know but can't remember who.." And with sources no longer existing.
For me it doesn't matter if a ship is canon or not, and I would also like to have a Tactical variant of the Intrepid. Rumors say that the next Lockbox contains Mirrior Intrepids and Novas.

First. Intrepid WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR COMBAT. I dunno how many times we will say this. INTREPID is an science/exploration vessel more than anything else. God. You see the ship firing and fightin in the show, but that doesnt mean it is a tactical ship lol.
I dunno what yo mean with "armor" i suposse it is a skill, that grants you resistance to anything. Well i think 15 seconds is far more than enough. Most of the skills that comes with new ships dont have so many seconds of duration. Mostly of em have only 10. So, no, on th eopossite i thinkg it is not useless, on the contrary.
What the hell you expect??? The interpid is a SMALL ship compared with almost everything in the game. Having low HP is completely natural.
So, maybe for a T5 ship yes it is a bit crappy, but it is what it is, the Intrepid class. You bought what you wanted, another differnt story is that you thought all the time that the Intrepid class was a tactical ship, It isnt, it never was. Sorry.
U obviously bought the ship because u liked it in the shows, asthetically, but in a game, specially in a game like STO, you need to buy things not only for the appearance, but for the use you going to give em.

LOL, so, any ship with 3 different weapon types is a combat vessel?? are you out of your mind??. Phaers are really common in any Starfleet ship, and 13 phaser emitters is nothing. The enterprise had about 50. 4 torpedo launchers is nothing as well.

Technically any ship that Starfleet builds that is meant to go off and explore the unknown is built for combat. That's just the way they role (which is more than one of the science ships in this game, one is even only technically designed as a technology test bed and is more tactically powerful than a Sovereign class against the Borg).
Doesn't make it something like the Prometheus and the Defiant that were specifically designed for more tactical roles than normal for Starfleet.
Comments
for real? that is equal to or more than most armor or damage resistance skills.
The intrepid is a science ship, mainly focussed on science skills (more than some science ships). you should have checked that before you bought it. compare.
That you should also have checked. If you compare it to other science vessels you will see that the ones with the highest HP are the Atrox Carriers (those are massive). After that, the Nebula class which is the Galaxy Class' sister. Then you get the Dyson ships (and the developers did a pretty good job in making those badass. don't forget that they have a tactical mode aswell which makes them more suitable for combat), 3 or 4 more ships and THEN the intrepid. Also keep in mind that the intrepid has been around since the beginning of the game and that new ships are technologically more advanced because the developers need to improve that, and this is a game with a timeline so its only logical that technology improves.

Because in one episode, Tom Paris has a throwaway line about the ship being designed for combat, not comfort, or something to that effect.
For some people, that's ample evidence that the ship was designed with a heavy emphasis on combat.
Personally, I don't buy it. :rolleyes:
Did you not look at the stats before you bought it?
Which wasn't even him saying that it was designed for combat but that it was designed more for combat than being a flying opera house.:rolleyes:
Your valuable context has no place in this thread! :P

So you bought a science ship and you're disappointed it doesn't do Science?
Ok...
But in seriousness , there's a thing called balance and sometimes canon has to give to balance, and the intrepid is one of those times.
Like others asked: Why should she have those?
100 % Invincible for 15 seconds... how useless...
The TV show explicitly states that the Federation does not design ships for combat, Defiant and Prometheus being the only known exceptions.
You may wanna put something into that "shield" slot. That helps.
And what should this be?
Also: Every ship modern has an EMH at that time. Even the Sovereign hat one as we all know.
I have to assume the same...
Same for me I bought Intrepid tier 5 fleet edition and it sucks after Galaxy X came out updated I bought the X and put over all weapons and bought a ship with the phaser pulse cannon placed it on the X plus the special torpedo bay it's a great ship now much better then the Intrepid...

Doesn't make it something like the Prometheus and the Defiant that were specifically designed for more tactical roles than normal for Starfleet.
