    I've got it last night. It's a good deal as it improves on the existing Avenger (It has the same mastery perks, and the ship trait is awesome). The LtCmdr Universal Boff seat is very good thing, it allows variety. Basically, you can use it with any career. Little less useful for sci captains, but for tacs and engineers, it rocks.

    Also, the LtCmdr tac boff seat is an Intel/Tac seat.

    And the current price is unbeatable :)

    Does the trait (Emergency Weapon Cycle) have a cooldown or lockout time? Would it trigger every 30s in a dual EPtW build and last for each EPtW cycle?

    Yes, I fly a Dreadnought cruiser. Deal with it.

    I haven't got the trait unlocked yet, but there is no mention of a lockout on the tooltip.

    Do you know how much of a reduction it gives for weapon power cost ?
  • kittyflofykittyflofy Member Posts: 1,004 Arc User
    Well, dude if you have previous version, they are almost the same but tier 6. Obviously they are "better" than em, and being a tier 6 they are just as good as any other ship, really. Again, depends on what you looking for.

    The T6 Avenger/Mogh/Mogai trait? It's on the News Page info you guys LOL
    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9421533-star-trek-online:-federation-t6-battlecruisers
    When EPTW is running:
    -25% Weapon Power Cost...!!!
    10% Weapons firing Haste

    Add that lower weapons power cost while running Weapon System Efficiency Cruiser Command (LOL, Command FDCs lose AGAIN). The Mogai is an Escort and a Warbird, thus no chance at a Cruiser Command. But if you stuff in 2 of the Mogai Consoles, you do get +5 Weapons Power and a -25% Weapon Power Cost as part of the 2 piece bonus. Whether that's important enough for you to give up Console Slots is up to you and your build.

    It never ceases to amaze me how people seem to forget that the cruiser commands are group wide if you are in range, and I will be getting Weapon System Efficiency most of the time in my Command Cruiser anyway...

    Most of the time I don't even run it on my standard cruisers. Once somebody decides they are using it I switch to something else.

    Power generation is so easy these days that Weapon System Efficiency makes almost no difference anyway.

    Continue to bill it as the 'be all end all' ability if you want, but it's really inconsequential in many cases. A captain with a Plasmonic Leech and maxed flow caps gains nothing from Weapon Systems Efficiency anyway.

    It's at best.. a nice luxury. By no means are any of the cruiser commands a deal breaker.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Weapons range is 10K.

    I fail to see a problem if I stay close to the cruiser...

    More often than not, the armed encounter between spacecrafts requires you to veer off from your fellow captains and do you duty on the other side of the map. Well outside of the 10km effect radius.

    In the past, when I was more dedicated, this is where I would feel the need to explain how group buffs and synergy work, and how to get the most out of stacking your advantages as a team instead of trying to horde all of the buffs and glory for oneself.

    Now I'm old. I realize that the people who are going to actually do well in a team environment already understand the concept, and the ones that don't are never going to.

    Anybody know why I can't put the Cloak on the Arbiter like it says. •Console Synergy ◦Can Equip: Console - Universal - Cloaking Device (Found on Dreadnought Cruiser and Tactical Escort Retrofit) I got the console from the TactEsRet
  • kimmymkimmym Member Posts: 1,317 Arc User
    Heh, I hadn't noticed.

    I went and checked my cloak console. Apparently they did not add the T6 version of the battlecruisers to the cloaking device yet.

    Next patch, I hope. Should be a simple fix.

    It's not been mentioned but the console synergy is insane!
  • alcyoneserenealcyoneserene Member Posts: 2,414 Arc User
    After having looked at many in Sol system, I decided to go for it earlier today, because the skin in 3D to me really looks great, and even matches the Avenger's parts very well.

    Feels tough, turns fast enough with the console synergy bonus plus a few +turn armor consoles. It really does look like a battle variant of a Regent and a Vesta combined, and surprisingly isn't exactly longer than the Avenger itself by all that much.

    Considering the designer had to make a ship that had to fit any and all parts of the Avenger and still look good, I'd say it was very well done all-round.

    The only other variant of a Fed Cruiser/Battlecruiser/Dreadnought I'd look forward to would be a T6 Odyssey, otherwise still hoping for a T6 Vesta & Pilot Prometheus on the Fed side.

    My review: Good ship, very powerful.
    Well excuse me for having enormous flaws that I don't work on.
  • lingeringsoul888lingeringsoul888 Member Posts: 509 Arc User
    I couldn't hold out any longer and bought it last night, spent 3 hours shooting the TRIBBLE out of everything. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I just feel bad for my old ship, spent so much buying it then upgrading it. Now I just need a fleet module

    Actually when I look at that page (which I did before posting) it does not state how much the power cost reduction is, how much it speeds firing up by and whether it has a 'cooldown/lockout' (eg. triggers max of once every x seconds). Hence why I asked about cooldown/lockout. Because if it doesn't then a dual EPtW build could have this trait in effect all the time.

    While staring at my ship (I actually really like how this one looks) I noticed my Fleet Emblems were upside down...

    Maybe they will fix it when they fix the cloak? I can hope.
