Vulcan ship upgrade

I know the ship is a science vessel in the game but it was designed to be a combat cruiser.
Several things were mentioned in the show about this ship which should be added to the game.

1. replace the science console with a tactical.

2. additional weapon slots.

3. a single hanger with vulcan shuttles that attack enemies and heal allies. (it was stated in the show that the d'kyr had a large shuttlebay)

4. a higher ranking tactical bridge officer station.

Now i understand that this is alot to ask for on a single ship. but what about the possibility of adding a 3 pack to the game using a couple other vulcan ships or just use different d'kyr ships with different hull patterns, one science, one tactical and one engineering. with vulcan weapons to counter the Andorian 3 pack.

Thanks
Noxalon

    Is the support craft a built-in power or a console? If it is NOT console, I would propose that a new console be added to the D'Kyr that could be part of a two piece set with a released Suurok class ship. I would suggest something that boosts tractor beams, boarding parties (Vulcan Commandos), sensors (cloak detection), auxiliary power boost, or photonic weapon enhancements as those are the cards that come with the D'Kyr and Suurok ships in Attack Wing.

    The only time they change BOFF seating is for a rerelease as a retrofit or as a higher tier ship. So asking for changes like that may feel like customer feedback, but to them it means asking to buy the ship a second time.

    If it ment getting an upgraded d'kyr or a new vulcan 3 pack with better ships or new vulcan ships i would pay for that the second it came out and im sure there are hundreds of other who would buy it as well.

    The support craft is a built in power. but it barly does anything, its healing is barely noticable in any of the new missions and it dies with just one or two his. I think if it is going to remain that way it should have a quicker relaunch and less of a cool down or upgrade it to where it is actually useful .

    also a nice upgrade i remember when the ship first came out when you would launch the support craft you could fly around with the warp ring in the down position.

    It would be nice if that was a selectable thing like you lower the warp ring and it give you more speed and better turn rate and stronger hull. and when its up you have less turn rate and higher shielding.

    Of course. There are still ship designs even older than that, that are still in operation.

    The real question is; Vulcan equivalent of the Scimitar when?

    Yeah it was designed as that 200 years ago but as things evolved the ship took on lesser and lesser roles, it's a Science ship...adding more weapons would change it's role which we don't need.

    There are other ships in game which had large shuttle bays and don't have a hangar and more Tac consoles it doesn't need.

    I don't understand why people insist on just throwing tons of tac consoles on everything...if you want to fly a ship with lots of weapons and stack tac consoles then just fly a Escort or Cruiser.

    Besides...if you're so worried about topping the DPS charts then you wouldn't even be flying a Sci ship in the first place.

    Makes a very valid point, besides when have you ever seen a vulcan fighter craft ? Vulcans are not known for their fighting skill, only their intellect hence their sci ship. I would have said instead of the extra tac console, I would have said have something like a red matter gravitonic generator when the ships ring is horizontal, kind of like the subsonic wake like the risan corvette in which the sci ship trails a red matter gravity well behind the ship whilst boosting the speed of the sci ship, but giving any ship in it's wake reduced ships power plus damage to shields because of the red matter positive atoms conflicting with any ships boosted auxiliary powers so the damage to that ships shields depends on the amount of auxiliary battery power, so it varies per ship. :) I might have to do something in photoshop to show an example :)

    Well actually if you watched enterprise there was a few episodes that had the Vulcan fighters.

    Also we know that the vulcans are still making ships even now. plus this is not really a vulcan ship just the design, the xrt 55d from the episode of enterprise showed a new advanced vulcan cruiser so it only makes sence that if they are still making cruisers they would still make tactical ships or at least logically arm the ships better even if the ship is science, whats the point of gathering scientific data if the ship is just going to get destroyed and all the data is lost. and im not at all worried about topping the dps charts i just want more vulcan ships or at least make the one we have a bit more equal with the ships of its level or slightly above so its actually playable with the new content that is out with the game.

    Also Vulcan had several branches of government that had to do with tactical issues

    It's a Science ship...Science ships have 6 weapon slots...they aren't going to treat this one special because it's a Vulcan ship. That's just game mechanics...

    The odds of there being more Vulcan ships is small, they talked about adding a 2nd Vulcan and Andorian ship like I think it was a couple years ago...nothing ever came of it.

    The D'Kyr needs a fleet version but for some reason they're hesitant to release one...I have no idea why.

    I would be quite happy to just see a fleet version of the D'kyr. Was surprised that they made the current one upgradeable to T5U so I'll take that for now. But a fleet version with another engineer console, boost to hull and shield modifier and making the support ship a little more survivable would be greatly appreciated.

    I would be happy with a fleet version as well, but i would just love to have a selection of Vulcan ships. Im a carrier guy for the most part and i would love a Vulcan carrier but i know that will never happen. I just wish there was more vulcan ships and that they were more usable. in the new content.

    Dont get me wrong i have my ship set up pretty good when i use it i can do vortex and most other stf but its getting rough with all these updates it slowly getting phased out
