Anyone else sad about the stats on the Dauntless?

I mean I've always thought the ship is kinda ugly but if it had decent stats and what I was looking for in a Sci ship I'd buy it.

But it doesn't...because Cryptic decided to make it a pure lame Tac Sci...which there are already plenty of options for.

I mean all the other T6 ships have a universal slot...most a LT...why can't they make the Lt Tac universal?

I swear it's like they have no idea or love for Science and the only way they know to handle them is either shove a bunch of Tac slots on them or just leave them horrible.

    I'm actually more disappointed about the fact the ship doesn't have a second lt commander. I was hoping in a set-up similar to the one they gave the guardian, with the lt tac made ensing and either the lt sci or eng made lt commander.

    I'm a little disappointed with the layout. No universals, almost all new ships have universal boff slots now. They hyped up this ship and its honestly nothing special... the vesta line is still superior to this thing. I'll pass...which is sad because I love canon ships. :(

    Not at all, I find it quite interesting myself. Not every ship needs to be alike and not every ship must have a universal station or bust.
    Besides, they're calling it "Experimental Science Vessel", so the heavy Tac/Sci layout may have something to do with this as well. Plus it gets the secondary deflector. And the layout is not bad IMHO, I'm actually looking forward to one of these for my newest Sci.
    As someone with most Fed. chars that are Sci, I completely understand what you're getting at - and the truth is, what you're expecting is not this ship. Probably a future one.

    Consider that they're playing with a lot of layout combinations and what you're looking for is probably being considered for a future ship they'll release. Not every ship can satisfy everyone's expectations and apetites.

    I agree that the LTCDR Tac slot is TRIBBLE. It should have been either Engineering or Universal. Similar with the console layout. Either 5 Sci, 3 Eng, 2 Tac, or 4 Sci, 4 Eng, 2 Tac.

    Of the 4 ships revealed today I think Cryptic really nailed the Fed Guardian Cruiser and the Romulan Aelahl Battlecruiser.

    The Maha Raptor not so much and the Dauntless Sci ship seem to be the worst ship in the expansion.

    My Sci flies 3 ships. LRSV, Vesta Recon & Atrox. At T6 I'll still be flying those as FT5U.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    Nope. Was never going to buy it no matter what layout/stats it had. So not disappointed at all. Just another Fed cruiser as far as I'm concerned. Boring.

    Its a wonderful ship. One of the best layouts they did for t6. If you want sci heavy garbage collectors, there are already a ton abaiable.

    I am really annoyed that it doesn't have over 9000 fore and aft weapons also a button of instant wins!

    LtCdr Tac and Cdr science is a very good combination. Not to mention the console.
    I think this vessel is just fine and depending on the cost I'll probably purchase it.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I'm far too busy laughing at it to be sad about it. Maybe once the laughter settles, eh?

    Well for me the Dautless is a good one. I can go more on Tac as support so my Main Sci can go as a healer Drain ship and the secondary is for STF with good teams where no Healer is needed.
    I like her. But I can understand that the Dauntless is nothing for pure Sci's.

    The layout makes no sense. The Dauntless was identified as having less firepower than an Intrepid class ship. Turning this thing into *another* default tac/sci hybrid only caters to Cryptics unimaginative content centered around damage dealing nothing more.

    You do realize that this is not the same Dauntless? Plus the whole concept of this ship was to appease ppl on the forums that kept posting "I want the Dauntless" threads.

    I do realize it and I know that's the reason. There is no in-universe reason for the ship to even exist, but not making it like anything the canon reference shows and just make it to appeal to a "want want" crowd is just sad.

    Agreed. I am one of those "want want" people. However, I do believe that it should at least have SOME rational based on the original "alien" ship. Hence why it should be a Sci/Engineer hybrid rather than a Sci/Tac since the Rhode Island was suppose to fill that role.

    It's funny to me...how many people saying it should keep its build...well I'm asking for a Universal slot like many others are and every other T6 ship got. Turning one of those Tac slots into a Uni wont hurt the people who want Tac so badly.

    What I find really funny is if people are so concerned with DPS then you wouldn't even be flying a Sci ship in the first place.
