    Could it be because they are cruisers and are more geared towards engineers?

    Isn't it obvious the way people are complaining about the iconic Cruisers only having 3 tac consoles all they care about is the pew pew? Sci ships don't have the pew pew they need to compensate for their lack of skill!

    Sorry, it's my fault. When I bought the cholesterol-bundle of command ships I ran them all on my engineer. I must have tripped a metric somewhere that said "Engineers are spending money! Get more stuff out for the Engineers!" I promise next time I'll do it with my science guy.

    Well technically, last year we had the failhybrid as a pack, which I would label as having a cmd. sci. Now we have a cmd.eng-pack. Next year we will get an escort I presume.

    What we need is a vesta t6 for every faction. The strongest sciship (in both, dps and Sciing) for all, what else would one want?

    I for one find it refreshing that this game recently isn't just a overload of *pew pew* escorts.

    There have pretty much always been more Escorts/Destroyers than anything else...nice to see something a little different though there should be more Sci ships!

    I found it funny that they call the negh'var iconic. Its been in like 3 1/2 episodes. Would have rather seen a t6 d7.

    It goes in waves. Delta Rising released with a lot of Sci ships for the Intel spec. Now we've a bunch of Eng ships for the Command spec. Next we'll have Tacs for the Pilot spec.

    It's possible after Pilot spec, the next specialization will be sci oriented. My guess would be sometime this summer.

    That isn't unique for STO. They are usually are tons more dps dogs in mmos than tanks, heals anyways. Cryptic has the metrics on how people are playing the game and are releasing ships based on those metrics. It's probably why they are not as many science ships.

    Devs pandering to the masses. it goes like this.

    1) Release a couple of escorts
    2) Release a crapload of engineering ships
    3) Release yet more escorts
    4) Release another crapload of engineering ships
    5) Yet again with the escorts
    6) Damn, we forgot about science, lets give them one ship with a 50% chance of TRIBBLE up and making junk (Dyson set, scryer, dauntless, come to mind) so no one wants it.

    More like they're designing the game so damage sells...Cruisers have 8 weapons and Escorts have lots of power...Sci ships aren't pure pew pew...least weapons and take the most skill...so people don't like them.

    I fly a sci ship in stfs. Only way to get 1st place every time. With the right setup sci ships can be quite formidable. But it does take practice and most people that play this game like to be hand fed.

    Science ships have great pew pew. That 4th forward weapon called a deflector and the right torpedo with partgens is very nice.
    Wow. There is a new KDF Science ship. I'll be!

    Hey man, the Dauntless is the most OP science ship out right now.

    I'm just waiting for a T6 Nebula...

    It's because it's the KDF counter part to the Galaxy with stats.
    The Vor'cha is more like the Excelsior and the D7 is the counterpart to the Constitution.... more or less.
