GDF can no longer be abused for the first strike now. This is rightly so! Without this change, the Romulans would only make oneshoots because of the cloaking device and boffs. GDF is to be used to defeat the enemy in a last effort before your ship is destroyed. For this you get more damage and more resistance with GDF. So…
I dont see any usefull improvement of cruisers or scienceships on this changes. today, we dont need more armor oder any simple sciencebuff.

They can accept that beams are doing less damage. But they are not willing to accept that beams are doing SO LESS damage. Did you ever try to get an escort or an other ship with beams under pressure? That is a waste of time an energy, because you cant do enough damage to get any usefull result. Ships with beam weapons are…
