It's clear that they are supposed to have equivalent boff and console strength on the whole. Why should one get universals and the others not? Why would you care if people in a defiant could run an extra ensign sci or eng?
-
It is so clearly obvious that those ships were meant to be counterparts. They all become available at the same point in the game, they have cookie cutter console/bo layouts that are directly comparable to one another. Of course they do have different stats in line with what type of ships they are, but anyone who seriously…

No it is supposed to make sense with the intrepid and defiant. It is very clear that those ships are meant to be counterparts to one another. They have the same layouts just with the defiant focusing on tac, the galaxy on eng, and the intrepid on sci.

I am sure it is great for PvP. The point remains that for many players the 3rd tactical ensign is no more worthwhile then the 3rd eng ensign, and probably less so for some. Lack of choice for tactical ensign abilities. There seem to be a wider degree of science and engineering abilities at the ensign level that are useful…

Ok so if I want to run a suboptimal damage set up I can gimp my overall damage for 30 seconds in order to get 1 impressive shot and drain my weapon power levels substantially. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Wait and you think the ensign tactical on the defiant is useful? LOLOLOL no... escorts use cannons, ensign tactical abilites are beam array junk and tactical team, no use to having more then 2 tactical teams running, so the tactical ensign is useless. You act like you have some unique issue.
-
Seriously lol, get realistic, the fleet galaxy is not going to get uni boffs and the same console layout as the fleet prometheus. I am sure you want that, I want a million dollars, but you should get real here.
-
Giving it uni boff's doesn't make any sense though and isn't likely to happen. What makes sense is to either address it through content (make tanking useful) or through more useful engineering abilities. It is a poor practice to fix an unbalanced situation by creating another unbalanced situation. If engineering stations…
-
I don't understand why people continually ask for universal boff stations on the galaxy when comparable ships don't get universal slots. If engineering abilities are so bad then you should be asking for better engineering abilities, asking for your favorite ship to get special treatment is silly. The galaxy is exactly as…

When I say Sov with single cannon = mirror escort with single cannon I mean base damage. I understand an escort wouldn't run single cannons. Yes you lose 1 tac console with the sov but you also pick up an aft weapon, so the net impact is minimal. Losing 1 phaser relay and gaining a turret isn't bad. As to your other…

I think the "problem" with cruisers is really overstated. Now I am not "end-game" but running rear admiral upper with both mirror escorts, mirror sci vessel and the standard sovereign. The science vessel sucks and I keep it around for looks. Now I honestly prefer the escorts, just as a personal preference, but I can run…

TBH none of the T4 Retrofits have great BOFF set-ups. Looking at the defiant retrofit thinking what am I going to do with comm/lt. comm/ensign tactical? Most escorts are going to be using straight cannons and ensign tac abilities are basically tac team and leadership and beam junk. I think the idea is to push you towards a…

I do think that if anything its a content design issue. There is nothing wrong with cruisers in the abstract and the galaxy is the logical layout for a cruiser at the point in the game you get it. What people complain about are just the downsides of a cruiser. Cruiser upside is big hull and lots of crew to repair hull,…
-
Find it a bit confusing that people ar saying the galaxy has an inordinate focus on eng vs. other cruisers, as near as I can tell it has the exact amount of engineering focus you would expect on a cruiser of that tier. It has exactly the engineering focus that an escort would have into tactical which appears absolutely…
-
It seems to me like at least a good number of the complaints are centered around a belief that because the galaxy was a pivotal class of ships in the show universe that it should be some end all be all of ships and any weaknesses it had would be taken as an insult. In a game like this you have to have downsides otherwise…
-
My point is simply that I don't think the historical impact of the Enterprise-D should be a major factor in the performance of Galaxy class ships as a whole.
-
Oh sure, over 50 years the Enterprise-D would have undergone extensive overhauls had it remained in service. My point is that the Enterprise-D as we saw didn't exist in a vacuum. What we saw was not the ship itself but the way in which it responded to difficulties and a huge part of that within the fantasy world was the…

Picking up a Galaxy class in this game and expecting the enterprise is about like picking up a 1982 pontiac trans-am and expecting knight rider. Obviously the galaxy class is a well built ship, but it's not going to be the same as the enterprise-d because it's not the enterprise-d. It doesn't have the same crew or the same…
