Sigh, just forget it. By the point of season 7 Cryptic might as well just remove the PvP from the game all together. Why they even bothered including it in the first place I don't know.

Having learned some extra tidbits about the Vesta thanks to the item information on tribble, it's pretty obvious that PvP isn't being remotely considered. I mean damn... A science ship that can mount dual heavy cannons, has sensor analysis and can use danubes.
