Plenty of BOff space for Warp Plasma and a Tractor Beam to make up for it.

[Edit]

And Siphon Drones/Danubes as well.

Though I wonder if the Elite versions of the fighters will pick up DEM 3 as the normal ones come with DEM 1?

Does FMG stack with APO?

Okay, you got me there. It is a nice ship though and I'm glad they didn't go overboard on it's stats.

Do we know if it can actually use KDF or Fed pets?

It doesn't sound like it'll share a global cooldown with BOff powers.


Indeed, I was imagining it'd be a Heavy Escort Carrier with a turn rate of 17 and two hangars w/ a built-in Sub-Nucleonic Beam console, TBH.

Using the Tholian Carrier as a precedent, it'd be a bit strange for them not to be able to use whatever faction's pets it gets opened up on.

That does sound vicious.

As for the Dreadnought, if it can equip cannons, it will likely have the same issues as the Gal-X: not enough turn to use them.

Unlike the Gal-X, it has the Tac Stations for some powerful combinations. And damn does it look tough.

Heavy Bug vs. Bug:

+3k hull
+300 crew
+1 device slot
+1 hangar bay
-8 turn rate
-.02 impulse modifier
? inertia
-1 tac console
+1 sci console
-5 weapon power
+5 shield power
+5 aux power
Bug: Cmdr LCdr En Lt Lt
Heavy Bug: Cmdr LCdr Lt En Lt

I'm kind of surprised by the turn rate. I was expecting at least 15.

Dread Bug vs. Kar'Fi:

+10.5k hull
-.05 shield modifier
+500 crew
-1 turn rate
+.02 impulse modifier
? inertia
+1 tac console
+2 eng console
-2 sci console
+5 aux power
+subsystem targeting
-PSG console
+DCI console (can also use the DCP console, including a 2pc bonus)
Kar'Fi: LCdr Lt Lt Cmdr En
Dread Bug: Cmdr Lt LCdr En Lt

I have to wonder what Kar'Fi captains think about that one...

I'm not sold on it.

The Ody/Bortas can both run almost as many Tac BOFF stations but it just doesn't make all that much sense to do so on a ship with a base turn rate of 6 imo.
