You have to have very good reflex's to use the Gal-X. Also, I wouldn't bother with the Gal-X unless you are going for maximum burst damage...hence the ability to use DHC's and the cloak. What I see the point of the Gal-X is being is a super heavy opener with the ability to tank after it lets lose it's massive burst DPS. If…
I don't know if that's what you read as I don't know what level you're reading at. If you would like we could start with "Goodnight Moon" and see how you do? The funniest part of this is when people tell me that the Dreadnought is a worthless pile of TRIBBLE and then when people ask to change it the same people say its too…
I don't mind at all waiting for a new class. I completely agree that the dreadnought is an awesome ship. I have several ships in my pool, including the defiant refit, and I prefer the Dreadnought 10x over the other ships. I think the reason people see so many Dreadnought threads is because a decent amount of people see the…
It's the same Cloak the Klingons get.... With all the buffs on, quad cannons, 3 DHC's, 4 turrets on the back, and the phaser lance....yeah it can easily one shot people. The evidence to this is practically all over the place. If you that's not enough for you than I don't know what is.
I have no idea how you were able to come to that conclusion based on what I said. I didn't say a thing about the Bortasqu cloak being less effective.... If you are trying to tell me that I should be happy with the Dreadnought being far inferior because the cloak works slightly better try again.
I wouldn't mind a new ship at all to accomplish this. The reason the topic is most prevalent with the Dreadnought is because people expect the Federation to have atleast one "Battlecruiser" and I think they expect more than what the Dreadnought and Odyssey Tactical deliver. Consider the Bortasqu Tactical on the Klingon…
Sharing common traits with another ship and being the refit of another ship are completely different. Please enlighten me to a T5 ship that doesn't have it's own unique ability? Does that ability also exist on the Dreadnought? I personally am not asking for the ship to be over-powered. I would just call it a…
I guess the section describing the regular timeline Odyssey still evades me... I didn't mean to insert that logic comment. I don't usually resort to insults like this. insanerandomnes witless response got under my skin.
The only reference to an Odyssey class in Startrek Canon is that history line so how could it be a different ship? You're telling me the same creators that put a Dreadnought in the game from an alternate timeline would decide to create an Odyssey class ship also from alternate timeline but it actually has nothing to do…
Haha, thank you for proving you have the reading comprehension of my dog. I never said I wanted the ship to be across the board more powerful. I simply compared a ship of similar design and showed that the Federation had nothing even remotely similar. Yes, I realize the KDF and Federation are supposed to have different…
Critical thinking comes easy to some and...well....not so easy to others. Please re-read the following paragraph, "I know all you super elite veteran superstars will jump in and tell us we should sit in the back and heal you or something stupid but I'm not raising this subject with combat efficiency in mind because not all…
No, I am saying that in Starfleet history they have created warships. The only warships currently in STO are the smaller escorts. I have both the Sao Paulo and the T5 Defiant and do not enjoy the play style. I enjoy my Dreadnought a great deal. Guess I am just wishing that it was more tactically equiped. Not insanely…
I completely understand this mentality but times change. In Starfleet canon they have created pure bred warships. Considering the storyline we are currently going through I wouldn't think it would be unreasonable to expect them to make one.
How can you say a ship that came with a giant phaser cannon and a cloak wasn't meant to be a pure bred battleship? It was designed in the alternate timeline during the war with the Klingons specifically with battle in mind. How could having a similar console setup and BOFF setup be robbing it of it's "unique" properties?…
How could the cloak be useless for the Dreadnought? Besides being canon it works very well for this ship. It allows you to get in close and forward facing. The 20% dmg bonus once decloaked combined with other damage buffs allow for one shotting all but the very strongest opponents.
Thissler, some people just don't know how to steer a girl with a large hind end. I've got the Federation Dreadnought and I use her to devastating effect. You just have to know how to pilot. Have to be a precise strategic mind as opposed to a quick twitch reactionary mind. With that said, I'm going to start leveling my…
It seems to me that unless you're going to run a full array boat for broadside action that placing turrets on the rear would be a wise decision. DBB's would be fine with turrets on the back. That way when you are charging in with the DBB's your rear weapons are hitting them too.
If I can make a suggestion...If you plan on using DHC's in any of your builds I would suggest buying the Sau Paulo refit version of the Defiant. It comes with the Quad Cannons and they are extremely powerful. They level with you all the way to vice admiral. Also, the extra skin is nice.
You know this post made a lot of sense. I am running the Dreadnought and I think it's actually a very well rounded ship. I really care less about a saucer seperation. But I think it should have a lt. commander tac BOFF or Commander tac BOFF and lower the engineering down. I really don't need Aceton Beam but could use…
Myself and a friend of mine are looking for an active and friendly fleet. We are currently in one of those 100+ member fleets where you logon and tell everyone Hi and get greeted with the sound of...well...nothing. We are both geared decently and just want a place we can have a real impact and get into the thick of things.…
Haha, I love it when egomaniacs jump into a thread crying about how it still exists and simultaneously guaranteeing that someone will respond therefore perpetuating the very thing he claims to hate. Congratulations! Does it make you feel cool to insult someones decision to fly a ship you personally don't like? For someone…
Yeah I know stuff like tractor beams and stuff stick but if you get tractored by someone approaching your broad side you can atleast get to a facing position and get them with the main guns. This is very important to me since I am using DHC's instead of regular cannons. I feel the effort of having to get into a facing…
What are your thoughts on the Subspace Jumper universal console? Seems like it would be invaluable in PVP, specially if you get jumped/held or just need to turn around. I have it equiped and find it extremely useful.
