Ive never liked that the voQ was so science heavy when its a vessel designed for attacking planets and large planetary installations.

I think it was purely given such a sci-centric layout for balance (lets face it, apart from shield skills, most offensive sci abilities are..well...useless except in pve, potentially balancing the then awesome ai of the bop pets) and likely to appease those wanting a kdf sci ship

In fluff terms though, I agree - the vo would be set up like the Jemmie dreadnought is, although with an engie ability of aux to dampner built in to help mitigate that turn rate..of course then it'd be a c-store ship, not a rank up freebie...
