I don't see the necessity to change all cruisers either. But where to draw the line ? The OP's proposal has the charme of simplicity. 5/3 is good for beams, dual beams and cannons. 4/4 just for beams. Releasing new ships is insofar better, as it wouldn't negatively effect anyone. But then again signature ships like the…

Guess it's just a matter of perspective. If you run a beam setup, it doesn't matter. 4/4 works so why should it get changed ? That's one side of the coin. Now have a look at warmaker001b's signature. That's how I want to set up my Klingon battlecruisers ingame. If a cannon/turret 4/4 setup would be on the same level as a…

What exactly is it you can't keep in front of a Tor'kaht or Negh'var ? Iconians ? Undine ? Mirror fed spacewhales ? And what would 5/3 take away from a beam built ? The broadside is exactly the same.
-
Obviously you give a TRIBBLE about how much Star Trek is in Star Trek online as long as all you need to do is smashing the spacebar. And the Klingon battlecruisers not designed for cannons, really ? How much turnrate do you think is sufficient to shoot a Borg cube ?
-
If you are asking for ingame mechanics modelled after canon, then watch your own clips again. They prove that the current meta is TRIBBLE from a lore point of view. Engagements were usually head2head and not 2 ships flying alongside each other exchanging broadsides. Fed ships had maximized firing arcs for their energy…

I see the beem spammer squad is out in full force. 5/3 is what makes sense for all cruisers. At least, if you want a game which somehow mirrors what was seen on screen. 5/3 would make a lot more ships viable again, whithout turning them into broadsiding abominations. Klingon battlecruisers, D'Deridex, Galor.. just to name…

It's quite simple, isn't it ? Either BFAW gets whacked good with the nerf hammer, or we see another round of bloating mob HP's. Which would then make cannons and torps even more obsolete... An ability which does top single target and aoe damage and clears mines, torps, probes and fighters without even targetting an enemy.…

There are a lot of Romulans around. You just don't see them. They've got cloaks ! And obviously it's not for the lack of incentives to create a Rom char. Scimitard, superior space traits and so on. I don't know why other players prefer other factions, but here are mine: First: TRIBBLE JJ Trek story involving a certain…

Of course you need to be a rocket scientist to take this into account: T5 -> T6 T5 fleet/lockbox -> T6 fleet/lockbox
-
No, I don't like stupid pets. Plus, I don't have the Breen carrier from last years winter event.

Klingon hair 5/3 for every battlecruiser T6 Tor'kaht
-
Hair. Real Klingon hair. 5/3 layout for all battlecruisers 2 usefull space and ground traits for every race
-
I've got the first 2 on my KDF sci char but missed out last years event. I'm really pissed I can't complete the console set. (even if it's TRIBBLE). I would like to get the ship, too. Not many T6 choices for my KDF sci char... Oh, and I've got a crapload mugshots left over from the first two events, which are now worth…
-
Dunno if the Gorn dread is a good hull choice for a science ship. I prefer the nimble ones over space whales. But anyway, better a space whale than no science option at all.
-
Beers are no Starships. A better analogy would be tools. Let's says me and my brother are lumber jacks. We use mild steel axes. But then hardened steel axes become available. I like the balance of my old axe a lot better, while my brother is completely happy with the new tool. Therefore I'm asking for a hardened steel…
-
Well, it may sound strange in the first place, but let me explain: If I want to fit my battlecruiser with cannons, instead of beams like 12232354435 other ships, then 5/3 is a lot better than a bit turnrate or a different boff seat here and there. When everything was 4/4, I had a selection of ships with different handling…
-
It would be nice to have 2 space and ground traits for each race. Having for example a Klingon ship full of Nausicaans may be the best way to do it, but I would prefer a Klingon bridge crew with usefull traits.
-
Mogh and Avenger would still be fine. They have their boff layout and manouverability which makes them great ships. And why restrict it to those two ships, when it could be the standard for all battlecruisers ?
-
As I already wrote, my preference would be "give it to battlecruisers". Ships designed with forward firepower in mind. I'm completely happy with 4/4 on my T6 Galaxy, but the Klingon battlecruisers should allow for a different playstyle. One can of course just keep using the old setup and upgrade to T5-U and mk XIV, but the…
-
That would be another solution. Balance would be somewhat restored. But giving 5/3 only to some ships is wrong imho. Whenever I play around with a new setup, I come to the conclusion "works best on a 5/3 ship". My KDF eng is an alien (Andorian template). So, after we got the new Tetryon set I thought how about trying…
-
I think I shouldn't be forced to fly certain ships if I -want to compete in competitive PvE (CCE for example) -don't want to gimp my team in cooperative PvE (most STF's) Some ships just get the superior 5/3. An there is no tradeoff for it. Let's compare Mogh and Tor'kaht. Mogh: more HP, beam spam optimized boff layout and…
-
If I get you right, then everything is fine because it doesn't effect you. Perfectly good reason, eh ? Currently I feel restricted in my choices. In the early days of STO, things were imho better. Let's take the fed cruisers for example. All of them had the same weapon hardpoints, but had differen boff seats. Sovereign had…
-
Was it really too much to ask for a ship that is as good as current top performers ? Not many people asked for something *better* than the pilot escorts. But it should not be that much inferior either. @ integral cloak: only one ship of the class had one, and that one was destroyed with the original Defiant. Not even the…
-
Andorian or Klingon. Was there ever a reference to the lifespan of Andorians ? Klingons can live for 300 years.
-
After the recent release of the escort bundle it is more or less clear that 5 forward weapons are only available on ugly cryptic designs and the Scimitard. All the other canon designs currently get the short end of the stick. This totally sucks. If the boff layout I enjoy the most is by chance found on a canon design, I…
-
I have no complaints about this ship. It is the nightmare of every big, slow turning spacewhale. Incredible alpha, and I like the pilot hybrid seat.
-
It sucks, but what do you expect ? It's bloody patch day. Never play on patch day !
-
Oh yeah, forgot both lance cruisers. They would definately benefit from a 5/3 layout.
-
No, I don't want to change the command cruisers. They have a hangar on top of their 8 weapons. As a rule of thumb I would prefer a 5/3 layout for every battlecruiser (ability to mount dual heavy cannons). The 5/3 is superior for DBB and cannon builts, while the broadside remains exactly the same for beam builts. For cannon…

I like all of them. Voted tac since my first char was tac.
