Because elite STFs are truly indicative of the sort of balance considerations one must take when working out tank and dps numbers.

Actually, the actual DPS boost from a 26% tac console is closer to 8% for the first and 6.5% for the fourth ...
-
Atrus, even going from zero 26.2% damage consoles to one only gives about an 8% boost in damage (and from 3 to 4 about 6.5; don't yet have a Defiant-F to see 4 to 5). There aren't really diminishing returns in terms of a stacking penalty: each damage mod adds exactly the same amount of damage per mod, due to their position…

1) Did you ever compare the regular Patrol Escort to the regular Tac Escort Retrofit? 2) You're aware the Fleet Tac Retrofit can use the cloaking console from the regular Tac Retrofit, right? 3) You're aware that you can stick universal consoles like the Assimilated Module in any console slot, including that 5th tactical…

On my tac/patscort I run all energy weapons for speccing/not having to worry about torps on shields in PVP/running out of boff slots. Borg, however, tend to have a heck of a lot more hull HP then shield and also lack the ability to redistribute shields, thus making general torp spam a lot more useful versus them if you…

Go look at what the original RA Fleet Escort is called now in the requisition screen. It may be incorrect but it's still what is there. I am a very big fan of the Patrol Escort myself, regular and fleet. It's no JH Bug and it lacks the lol-decloak-BO3/1 of the Defiant-R, but it's still rather effective and can take quite a…

What the heck happened to my BGM - it's been replaced by some overture ...

Cannon: Scatter Volley much? :p

There _MIGHT_ be additional maneuverability, depending on the hidden inertia modifier; I wouldn't bet on it though. Also, don't BoPs get that nifty little battle cloak? :p
-
Most of the low-tier retrofits are pointless; continuing the escort theme, compare both versions of the refit tier-2 fedscort to the free RA Patrol Escort.

Minor problem in your use of the slippery slope argument - you took it away from cosmetic enhancements into functional restrictions - something already handled by the regular projects. Besides, the argument about pricy cosmetic items has long since been lost - note the prices of bridges and uniforms >.>

Unless of course the ship you're looking at doesn't HAVE a C-Store version.
-
Are you dense or do you think being an apologist for idiocy will get you somewhere? If you somehow think the fleet grind plus another $20 for a single-character ship is somehow justifiable, please stay away from the boards of any companies I'd like to do business with in the future; thanks!

IDK if it's been brought up in here, but in my experience RSP really isn't that good of a skill for STFs, especially once you get a couple of purple BFI doffs in (go do the Rolor Nebula chain). Its cooldown is long and its effects minimal compared to its use in PVP. Aux2SIF 1 provides considerable hull repair without…

Because most doff classes allow you to equip up to three of a given type?
-
Trek battles don't tend to have much in the way of active healing powers, very much unlike STO ;)
-
Just because the USAF has short deployments doesn't mean every service does, especially in the past few years - or have you been living under a rock and thus been ignorant of what's going on and the conditions experienced by current military personnel?
-
Because completely obsoleting the MVAE would be so good for business :/

You mean like other games with public queues where you can only go into the pub queue teamed with one or two other people out of a 15-slot team with a separate queue for completely premade teams?
