5 min break from dragon age so I can hysterically laugh cuz cryptic so good at game.
Scryer Intel Science Vessel:
This starship now has a secondary deflector slot.
Players who own the Scryer may purchase a generic secondary deflector from the Dilithium Store in the special tab.
This starship now has the Sensor Analysis ability.
Pretty accurate description of the whole scryer situation
annnnd back to dragon age.

ya i thought that was pretty funny. with SA, they pretty solidly locked it in that the scryer is the last sci ship you will ever need, no others will have an intel COM and LT hybrid by the looks of it.
a couple other LONG overdue and note worthy changes in this patch too. and argala can be teamed now
I don't know whearher I should laugh or facepalm at they way they're conducting business.
>Cryptic at work<
I'm sure it will get the hangar if sales don't go up
Now the whole science ship system seems broken, unless they plan to add 2nd deflector to nearly all other ships and expose abilities to t6 intrepid/dauntless.
A ship being given access to: Sensor Analysis, Sub targeting, 2nd deflector, Expose abilities and Cloak (which is useless in pve but still addition...not a console) is a quite a lot of "gifts".
If only the scryer had the intrepid look lol...jokes aside this new christmass tree will be the top science ship in STO until something like that with access to 5 special abilities is been delivered.
My hax sci abilities means I can be better than MT and his hardcore coding hax tool!
More space bar shockwaves!!!!! Even better space bar sub nuc
Bro my new bot will tear you apart
is that where your macro's are stored on your space bar for ground?
If you don't auto spacebar hax on ground, how can you keep the now 2 month old god mode exploit up 100% of the time?!?! I need a scryer level bull**** op stuff for the ground or I'm doomed. Gaem so hard.
Also yes give the scryer a hanger bay cuz at this point, why the hell not. We're apparently throwing -all- the restrictions placed on intel/sci vessels to keep them balanced out the window. Gimme some yellowstones already.
You forget one thing, built in Yellowstones so you can use more pets.
Well well, look what Cryptic finally Stealth buffed up to a 0.99 shield mod after all this time?

OP!! pls either nerf to previous or buff Scryer
I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I already have the Scryer, so it's nice to have a buff.....but I'll always feel dirty about running it now.
I didn't mind the look, since once I filled in the donut, it just looked like a natural evolution of the Luna. And while I didn't like that it came without Sensor Analysis, it was still very capable without it.
Now it's got both. And a secondary deflector slot besides. Unless you really need an LtComm Tac slot for some reason, you'll never need another science vessel.
#firstworldproblems
But now it's getting a Secondary Deflector, Sensor Analysis on top of the very heavy Intel BOFF seating? Really? LOL!
The Sensor Analysis addition though is a wash. It offsets the very broken abilities that kick off from "Gather Intel" stacking. So at least Sensor Analysis works, unlike Gather Intel which is broken to hell and back.
The only thing the Scryer is missing is... I'm scared to say it...
A hangar.
Sci domination indeed.
Honestly though I have traded my scryer in for one of these recently.
No. Bad, bad! You should be playing ArcheAge.

It's kind of funny looking at how long ago it's actually been since I played...even that was just a free return period sort of thing.

Yes, I'm posting kill mails for a reason...to show a bit of the difference between EVE and STO.
i saw that one coming a mile away
Cryptic couldn't see it from 20 inches away...that's why it took so long.
I tried I really did... couldn't get into it after the first 10 levels. lol
I will have to sit down one afternoon and give it another few hours. You guys are having fun can't be that bad.
Eve has improved a bunch of stuff and are adding some cool stuff in dec though. You guys should check it out.
lol ya your point is valid no doubt.
Just depends how you wanna play eve though. Ya you will loose a ship here and there. Really though I found I only lost what I was willing to risk mostly.
Granted I never lost anything large and expensive which I can imagine would get annoying... My huricannes and such though I never took them raiding or anything. I have been out a long time myself... I haven't touched my old toon honestly. Started a new one when I got back and been running around in a destroyer... slotted a salvage unit today and went and grabbed some stuffs. lol Think over the next few days I'm going to build a dedicated salvage grabber with some tractors and go pilfer some stuff and run away... cause I feel like rolling that way for a bit. lol
Your right though Virus the PvP isn't the casual variety.... Still if you want to play it like we have been playing trek with 99% pve and a few pvp encounters that are worth sticking around for. Its a pretty good replacment. I bet most of the STO pve kids would find Hisec a lot more fun then STO.
EDIT... Just a note as well.. a Destroyer with basic skills takes 3 or 4 days to train train up to fly, running one PvE mission and cleaning up the wrecks with my salvager I easily hauled in enough to buy a destroyer and outfit it with some standards cheapo guns and stuff. Early in the game like that before you really go spending tons of stuff on implants and stuff deaths aren't all that expensive really.
