Fix the Current Fed Carrier?

The Federation has a carrier currently.

The Atrox.

Its in a horrible almost unplayable state right now. Why not fix it? It has already got the graphical elements designed it just needs stat tweaks.

Please fix current buggy unplayable things before trying to milk more money out with new content.

    How is it buggy or otherwise unplayable? I use it every so often, and it performs as well as my KDF Vo'Quv (which I use far more often).

    I may not have the Atrox, but I have seen a friend who made his into a frickin' Terror Ship spaming Heavy Plasma, and fielding 2 wings of Elite Scorpions spitting heavy plasma. And that was before T5U/T6 came out.

    And I survived the Spamtrox too. Couldn't kill her with a Destabilizing Tetryon Vintage Fleet Patrol Escort, but He couldn't kill me either.

    It might be Old... It might be T5 but it is still a very powerful and versatile ship!

    Uh, what?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Atrox doesn't have anything so special that it could be bugged. No console. No trait. No special baked-in gimmick. It's just a vanilla carrier. The only "unique" thing it has is Stalker fighters, and pets in general tend to suck so... unless they're failing to launch or something...

    I heard tell back in the days of an Atrox that could hold East... It performed quite well then.
    SCM - Crystal C. (S) - [00:12] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 8.63M(713.16K) - Fed Sci

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    The Atrox was the first ship I fell in love with, ground out the zen from Captain to Vice Admiral to get her (fighting Admiral level enemies with Captain gear hurt but it was worth it.)

    She still had all Mk XII equipment and can make 30k DPS even after the pet nerf.

    Yes she turns like a planet, but with some planning you can obliterate that problem. A dil mine console, tach. Converters, a full pilot spec trees and she turns like a dream, especially once you learn how to handle the drift. (And the server doesn't lag you two light years past your target.)

    The biggest thing to remember is that she is basically a Science ship who traded a secondary deflector/sensor analysis for a second hanger bay (although she could probably do with one or the other).

    Watching all those glass cannons scatter and run while you stare down the ENT or Donatra absolutely certain that you will survive is very satisfying indeed.

    Why bother fixing the existing one when they can just release a future T6 version of it? Presumably with Caitian Frigate pets that are basically Fed versions of BoP Frigate pets?

    My Atrox - Sci Toon

    FT5U - 4 end, 4 sci, 3 tact consoles

    Hull - 91,334
    Shields - 19,773 per facing ( Solanae vr mkxiv)

    1 Hanger Elite Scorpion, 1 Peregrine Advanced (Extensive testing shows they are on par dps wise)
    15 sec cool-down on Hanger pets

    42% resistances before any eng skills used
    130 AUX power with Temporal warp core (Set with Omni Tet and awesome temporal console)

    Torp build with Neut, Grav and PEP up front
    Cutting beam, Thoron Rep Beam, Anti chroniton tet beam ( For set bonuses)

    Easy 35K isa runs, happily turns with 13.1 turn rate, before solanae impulse bonus kicks in and traits warm up
    Pretty much invincible due to hull and shields ( 900 shield regen/6 secs)

    This is one of my Favorite ships in STO, and I do not feel that it has been left behind at all.

    Considering how long I have had this ship, and the iterations it has been through, I can honestly say it has been the best C-store purchase I have made ship wise!

    Add to that it is an amazing looking ship
