OP, I'd recommend going with your preferance. If you're used to big slow cruisers then the Bortasqu' will do better for you. If you prefer a ship that does a bit less damage but manoeuvres better then grab the Mogh. I know Patrickngo will make it out that the Bortasqu' is obsolete and worthless and no good for anything but…

If cryptic reclassified the Bortasqu as a battleship not a battle cruiser, then I don't think as many people will be seeing it, mistakenly, as something that's supposed to be fast and easy to manoeuvre. it isn't, but neither is it a "federation cruiser" it can run Dual Heavy Cannons if you spend the time to learn how to…

They're not bad, but they will be a big change from what you're used to, when setup right, they tank better than a Tor'kaht, but move slower. They have the potential to do much more damage, but that involves delicate and experienced handling that you will, no doubt, gain over time while flying the ship. Overall, if you…

The constitution class refit would mostly be retired yes, but there'd be a few around for reactivation if necessary like the old Iowa class battleships were. However calling the Excelsior class a "beefier" constitution is wrong entirely, she was a new design built for a new engine, Scotty said himself they over-engineered…

If you prefer a carrier I'd recommend the Kar'Fi as it turns well, has two hangars and has some amazing shields. It seems somewhat more survivable than the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought though it can't quite do the same damage. If you prefer a battle cruiser, I'd go for the Bortasqu' Tactical Cruiser, it can tank decently and if…

Just to add, i did some calculations, and found this: DPS (Mk XI Blue) 1428.7 with 5 (5.6% increase) 1352.6 with 4 (6% increase) 1276.5 with 3 (6.3% Increase) 1200.3 with 2 (6.8% increase) 1124.2 with 1 (7.3% Increase) 1048.1 with 0 Damage per hit (Mk XI Blue) 2143.1 with 5 (5.6% increase) (32% increase overall) 2028.9…

I only use the snare, as i run two tractor beams and as such can finish off a Defiant in one strike without interruption. I don't use the aceton assimilators as i don't have the spare slots. And as for stealth consoles, they're not needed nor are they very effective, just learn to stay 6km away, and start buffing from 10km…

Benovide, since from other posts you have put on the thread, i can see that you've got the ship already and concur with the opinion that it's worth the money. While the post above yours shows some "interesting" points, though in a nutshell it says the Tor'kaht is better in all ways except a small margin in DPS. I've fought…

Your definition of PVP is vastly different from mine. In pug PVP i fight independently within a team i need no support and request none. Any cruiser with a forward based arc can get an escort off their tail if they need to, even the best piloted ones. Me, and other Bortasqu's i have seen have fought some of the best…
-
Hmmm... i can see a few things that are no doubt reducing your DPS. First of all, I recommend two Tac teams, easily achievable with the 5 tactical slots you have available, If you're using beams, i'd recommend a fire at will rather than Beam Overload, as power drain can be an issues on ships with 8 weapons slots. Though i…

Despite being an avid supporter of the Bortasqu', Benovide, some of those are definite exaggerated. The Hoh'sus is a nice distraction and it's torpedoes have provided a coup de grace from time to time but couldn't solo any ship in the game that is well flown. The autocannon, on paper and in practise can deal even more…

I, like Mimey, use the Lt Cmdr slot for Tactical, using APO and Rapid Fire to boost my DHCs and defence. I used Doffs to reduce my EPtS 3 to its global cooldown, essentially giving me two copies of it. This gives me decent survivability, if you have those doffs then almost any weapons set-up will do fine and survive. To…

I snipped some things out of the quote but put simply, it is not a Fed ship with a Klingon skin. There's no counterpart to it on the Fed side, the excelsior is more like the Vor'cha, the Sovereign is more like the Vor'Cha or K'tinga. The Odyssey and Bortasqu' are similar, because they were designed to be, but are…

Personally, my experience with the Bortasqu' has been far different from most, when i first thought of getting it, i had one thought: DPS. After my first few battles i felt it was a bit of false advertising. The Bortasqu' is NOT a Battlecruiser, she is a Battleship. A ship of the line that may not turn well or be speedy,…
-
The Bortasqu's Designation should be changed, it is not a Battlecruiser: It is a Battleship. If you want manueverability then get a Tor'kaht or a Vor'cha, but if you want something with more teeth go with the Tactical Bortasqu' Weapons: Fore: 4 x Disruptor DHCs Aft: 4 Disruptor Turrets Equipment: Assimilated Set Weapons…

The problem must be on cryptics end, both STO and CO are inaccessible, both Cryptic games, only one of which had a patch today. My prognosis is the code-writing monkey spilt his coffee on the cryptic servers, like after the season six launch and the sudden server crash.
-
I personally prefer the Bortasqu' Tactical or Command, they have huge amounts of firepower and good tanking, depending on what heals you put on them, they are excellent at surviving everything the PvE enemies throw at it, except the occasional invisi-torp. The turning is easily manageable, despite other people…

I'm probably going to be branded as crazy because of this, but i love the Bortasqu' Tactical Cruiser. De-cloaking and opening up a volley of 4 DHCs and 4 Turrets, then the Autocannon is simply amazing. I've saved dozens of almost failed optionals in Infected Elite. And in PvP, it remains almost unbeatable in a 1v1 fight.…

If you had any pieces of the set before the reputation system came out, discard them then retrieve them from your replicator or a vendor and it will finish the accolade, i had the same issue with an Omega Mk XI ground set. Then you do the costume unlock project.

It can be used in PVP, i use it everyday for it, and this "superior skill" you speak of is called the right abilities and tactics. All in all, my ship alone has killed more than 30 individual players. And i've only had it for a few weeks. It can do DPS just as well as any vor'cha i've seen. And we could put our builds up,…
-
Perhaps so, but you conveniently skipped my point of whether your original post using grand comparisons to cars and ignoring the simple fact that complaining will not make them change it. Whether you and hundreds of others think it lacks the flagship quality, an opinion i couldn't agree with due to my experience, does not…

It has always been my impression that what set the difference between Federation Starships and Klingon Warships were simple: their purpose. If there's one thing absolutely no Klingon ship is without (Orion ships excluded as they're not Klingon) it's damage output whether it be by use of pets or ship mounted Cannons. Fed…
-
I wasn't doubting the point of the original post, i was simply saying that while it isn't a typical klingon ship it is not entirely useless if you find a way to use it that makes up for it. Yes it has many downfalls that the typical klingon cruiser doesn't, and it's a shame cryptic didn't take that to heart when designing…

I am in almost toal agreement on this, i love my Oddy on the fed side because of the separation and tough as hell shields, but i agree the bortasqu' falls somewhat short on the, as you called them, "fly to these three points and scan" objectives in most cases, unfortunately that's why i maneuver almost entirely in full…
-
Personally the only problem i've ever had with the Bortasqu' is it's lack of ability to stop, i have a Vo'Quv on my other toon so im used to low turn rates. But considering it's inertia value is lower than either of the carriers which are both much larger ships makes me wonder if cryptic shot it in the knee for a reason.…

so what about the immunity we gained after the dominion war? did we scrap the changes to make our ships survive it?

When it comes to stats, you have to be where that stat takes effect to see a true value, such as my ship in sector space and on ground has 43,500 hull but in system has almost 58,000. If you are on ground or sector space you see the base stats for your ship, that means no skill boosts, no passive boosts with the exception…
