It blows.

This is an interesting little thing from what we have for specs but its going to take a while to get because it requires T4 Shipyard.

Basically we have

Aquarius Destroyer vs Fleet Aquarius Destroyer

Requirements: 200K Fleet Marks (20K + 4 FSM for Fleet)
Fore/Aft Weapons: 4/2 (4/2)
Base Hull: 24000 (26400)
Shield Modifier: 0.66 (0.72)
Base Crew: 50 (50)
Base Turn: 16 (16)
Device Slots: 2 (2)

Boff Stations: Cmdr Tactical / Lt. Cmdr Tactical / Lt Eng / Lt Eng / Ensign Eng
Consoles 3x Eng / 4x Tac / 2x Sci (4x Eng / 4x Tac / 2x Sci)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right away, I think Tank Escort but only 2 Aft Weapons is a bit weird for a T5 Ship.
Also has lower hull / shields than a Advanced Escort. Is this supposed to be even remotely good?

This is a BOP without the Universal BOFFs, 1 less weapon, and no cloak.

Completely worthless. There are better T4 (Cap-RA) ships.

Definitely not worth the VA crap.

This.


I hope no one buys it, so the devs will realize how much of a failure of a design it is.


It makes no sense at all to be a VA ship with those stats and its as Hakaishin says: a BoP with all the weaknesses and none of the benefits.

Wait scratch that, actually it has WORSE shields than a Hegh'ta, even the Fleet Version has worse shields than a Hegh'ta.


Easily one of the most overpriced sucker buys available.

Sad part is, you know some PvE/RP queen out there will buy it.

Yo Hakaishinlegion, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but the B'Rel Refit was the greatest C-store flop of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Gotta agree that this thing sounds pointless, though.

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.

A very interesting, and dubious, claim given that Cryptic/PWE (and Atari prior to that) were not overly keen on posting ANY of their C-store sales data.

More over, I see B'Rel refits -ALL THE TIME-, right up there with Kar'Fi and Guramba...

I have no doubt the B'Rel sold less units than the Dreadnought or the Armitage, but they weren't a flop...

The hyperbolic claim in no way covers for the statement being false...
