Oh well, here's to hoping some day we will get a science-cruiser that's not in a lockbox or a variant in an eng/sci/tac three-pack.
Because I don't see any at the moment. Seem not any better then what already is available, looking at the stats.
Also they do not look like top ships for DPS.
admiralty cards

I already have an abundance of admirality cards. Due to the daily cap more then anough cards to all daily admirality projects.
Indeed feels like just a new skin. More of the same in a new skin.
The lack of sci console slots (just 2?) constricts build out options, but I'll happily take it.
I hope the Cutpurse fighters are as zippy as the Orion interceptors.
100% agree
Warbarge dread is my hope
Similar stats to these new ships but with tac and sci boff/console numbers reversed.
Doesn't really help that we're getting a Sulliban ship and with how shafted I feel that they refuse to give RR a new race, especially when Suliban would fit them so well.

Yep mine too. I just hope they change the Cutpurse name of the fighters, maybe to Assassins.

They're not up in game yet, so I guess we're still in that "coming soon" phase, but can we get a release date?
Suppose it's too much to hope for working turrets
Without a tactical commander BOFF slot, you wouldn't be able to get the most out of DHCs anyway. Better to load up with DBBs instead. So the lack of cannons isn't a big deal, especially for the Feds as their cruisers have traditionally been beam-only.
This hurts more for the KDF, as their cruiser situation is much like the feds, except the lack of cannons on this ship hurts them more since most KDF ships can use them. Ditto for their flight deck cruisers.
I can see the Feds being able to use this ship, like the Klingons they've been short-changed on cruisers that have 5 forward guns. Lockbox/Lobi aside, only the Avenger/Arbiter has this particular feature. And AFAIK none of the Fed carriers have this either.
The Romulans however, probably won't have much use for this because from what I can see, apart from being slightly faster and more agile, the Scimitar (any of its variants) is superior in every way.

It might not be as good as the Romulan dreadnaughts but it seems like a very nice ship.
> Shouldn't the fleet versions have an additional console, or am I missing something? They have the same console layout as the standard versions.
The non fleet versions have one too many consoles.
Fleet ships are supposed to have 11 consoles, both the Fleet Flight-Deck Assault Cruisers and Flight-Deck Assault Cruisers have 11 consoles, 5 engineering, 4 Tactical, and 2 Science. The regular version likely only has 4 engineering.

Not in everyway, regular Romulan ships have an energy weakness, as Suliban ships use regular Warpcores, the Silik FDAC will have a power advantage over the Scimitar.
Also the Silik has Cruiser Commands.
And the Siliks console can cause the Scimitar's allies and maybe it's pets to attack it, while dropping the Scimitar's DR.
> I don't get the hate for this. It's an actual 5/3 ship in the zen store, which is a rarity, all you have otherwise is the Arbiter (and KDF equivalent) In my experience, it's a huge difference from a 4/4, and gives you the option of using beam banks and omnis, not just all beam arrays. It moves like the Arbiter as well, but has a lot more hit points and a hangar slot.

Some people hate on the ships no matter what Cryptic does.
The Blackguard FDC will be the main ship for my KDF Orion Dahar Master.
3 Tac, 5 Eng, 2 Sci
Fleet versions of each get an additional Tac console slot.
Sorry for any confusion!

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.
-Captain James T. Kirk
Visually I still like the Pralim design best, but now it is a lot closer about whom is second place between the Blackguard & the Silik.
I like the console & the BOFF layouts, & the wee fighters seem fancy for each ship too which could be a selling point.
Whereas that I.F.F. console seems like it could be decent in use that starship trait seems contradictory & if it is as described seems lackluster.
A good solid bundle, but I will not be buying it since Cryptic still has not fixed my account since July so knowing Cryptic I would buy the bundle & my ships would be missing a console slot & I would get the response of, "no ETA" on it being fixed.

scims have drones... Drones >>> all of above.
if it wasnt so hard to get the various ship mastery done, i'd still be using the T6 tac scim. course it would help if I bothered to log in to play... only do the new episodes and "event grinds" that I can stomach.
> of course the Silik can cloak, that's canon....
The Romulans and Remans enhanced it to Battle Cloak.
