Hello!
So, we have tons and tons of tac-heavy cruisers; it seems as though every cruiser that comes out lately requires a lt. com. tac station or more. Meanwhile, the only science cruisers we have are either part of a eng/sci/tac 3-pack (which from my understanding everyone just uses the tac variants) or lockbox-exclusive.
I really want to see more science-heavy cruisers in this game; like a t6 c-store 4 science console, 2x lt.com. science station cruiser. We even have some great candidates for science cruisers as well that do not have t6 versions such as the Constellation and Ambassador.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that we are severely low on science cruisers and I would love to see more.
Thanks for your time!

Just because They are running out of known ships to sell us.

If you're not on PC, don't worry, I'm sure they'll be coming to XB1/PS4 soon enough.
Seriously though, tom61 has a great point. Could be fun!
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.

the Guardian class is a science heavy crusier, as is the Sagittarius Temporal Cruiser.
and as far as canon skin the Fleet Support Cruiser Retrofit a.k.a the Ambassador class at fleet T-5u has 4 science console slots and a Lieutenant Commander science boff slot. works very well for my fed. just fly something else long enough to get a few useful starship traits and your good to go.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
That was what came to mind immediately for me as well. The T6 Nebula (Sutherland) is a NICE ship many of my friends enjoy; although one has to be prepared to buy a few Fleet Modules. This expands it from a Rare (10 console) ship to a slightly improved Fleet variation (11 console) ship; that's slightly more capable that normal Very Rare CSTORE (11 console) ships.
And the only reason why I would personally care about a Sci cruiser is because Sci ships are awesome, and cruisers look great (usually). The Vesta has it all.

So yeah, Sci heavy cruisers would be something different. No need for me, and I think we already have tons of cruisers, and the Advanced Research Vessel may look and turn like a cruiser but just isn't, but it is a valid wish to have.
Actually the turn rate on the Advanced Research is much faster than the Galaxy, so there's that too...meaning it feels more like a science vessel than a "slower" cruiser. While reading this thread I looked up the Advanced Research. It actually looks like it would make a pretty nice torp/exotic damage boat...

never saw discovery, but it's nice they gave props to Scott Crossfield, one of the greatest test pilots in the 50s and 60s.
