It is one of those things - where you look at the prices on some of the older things in comparison to the newer things...and it leaves you wonder why you would spend anything on those older ships. They either need to look at reducing those prices or updating the ships at those prices.

Given how quick it is to get to the endgame, though - they'd likely generate more revenue on certain ships simply by lowering the cost of them.

Facts are also easy to misread/mis-intrepret, then assumptions run wild, and it spirals out of control... hey, it's happened before

Thinking STO's team works on NW at the same time... that's just as absurd as thinking the Moon and the Earth are the same body That's not how they work

Felt it had to be said

Im with ya.

Which is why they probably updated the Gal-X to keep things on an even keel. Someone was complaining that their Excelsior's firepower is not up to snuff with the new line up of tier 5 ships. The Excelsior I don't expect them to ever update. It is a level 40 ship, it always has been. It is attainable once you hit RA lower half.

And if you really want to shine them on it's Hasta la vista baby!

Well damn man science needs something with all the freakin offensive science powers nerfed nowdays!

I just do not see how that can stand expecialy if you've been around long enough to know the history. The excel was put into STO when level 45 was the top and was probably the 1st in the line of P2W ships with it's 3 tac boff slots (altho that is really the design for beam-boats in the 1st place - to have 3 boff tac slots), that's why it is a level 40 ship. The new sov-R is not as viable as the excel as it gets the excel's 3 tac console layout along with the P2W torp, but trades ET1 for TT1 and loses turn rate in the process. If your thinking was indeed the case, then this version of P2W development STO would have the sov outclass the excel and there would be at least, a fleet version.

And the GalX will take alot more than just another tac console to fix that thing.

wat? science hasn't needed any help since doffs were introduced, its been more dangerous then ever with tholian and temporal ships. a sci captain with DHCs available to them is extreamly dangerous

The Gal X like the game itself for many of you has turned into some form of masochism. I've been around long enough to know this is how things are going to be so im well past the denial stage and accepted things as they are. People always say vote with their money. Lets see what the exit polls show when the Vesta hits the c store.

Considering all the Jem spam with the Reinforcements Pack promo - I think it's pretty much a given that the Vesta will do well..
