I love the Ambassador class. Not this representation of it though.

Another very good looking federation cruiser great job

And another Fed cruiser that is worthless in the end game

Low DPS
Poor Tactical bridge officer layout
Poor turn rate

Classic STO piece of garbage Cruiser

However it still looks great ! and its free

Most of us would rather it was costly and good

Fail..............I will stay in my fleet excelsior

But its a T5 cruiser. Any T5 cruiser has 4 aft weapons.

Both ships look really nice. Kudos to the ship team.

Design-wise, though, I kind of relate with the discontents. A distinguishing way to set it appart could've been to grant it a good cruiser turn rate (9-10ish) to justify Tasha Yar's comment over it being more maneuverable than its Romulan counterparts. Maybe it woudn't have been powerful (like the MVAE, the LtSci really isn't helping it all that much) but at least it'd have been a pleasure to fly around - as is, it's barely more maneuverable than the oh-so-much-more-huge Odyssey.

As is, despite my being a Fed player, the Kamarag is mostly what I look forward to. It might be an excuse for me to actually create (and not delete) a Klingon character.

Or a Galor if you have one; I don't use mine much any more because I just couldn't stand that it looks like garbage.

Being able to pile up tons of contraband and resources with Klingon Doffs is reason enough to make and keep a Klingon, IMO.

Clearly I am. How many times has the single argument of "How can it be better than the newer Galaxy?" appeared?

Off course it would be nice if the ships ingame somehow represented what was in the show/the timeline related logic, but it just wouldn't work in the game.

The newly introduced Jem'Hadar Dreadnaught would blow any other ship to dust if it were so.

Adjusted for advances in technology, I think the Excelsior and Ambassador were probably intended to be more tactically oriented than the Galaxy, which was more outfitted for exploration. So a modern retrofit of the aforementioned ships outgunning a Galaxy actually makes sense. Pay attention to your TNG episodes, and you'll see that the Galaxy was quite pathetic in combat. So if anything, Cryptic is following canon.

Ye those Galaxy wings in DS9 that were literaly pushing galors away with their heavy beams were really pathetic in combat...not

The Galaxy is a recent retrofit as well. So again, how are the Excelsior and Ambassador better spec'd then the Galaxy?
