Basically you say the ship is op cause of its tac console and the 10% improvement in hull and shields?

Cause it can`t be the tac stations, the regular one has the exact same boff layout.

And every other Fleetversion gets the same improvement in shield and hull compared to their basic version.

So if i go further with your idea, basically every ship that gets an extra tac console as fleetversion is going to be op?

Like the Fleetversion of the Tacescort as example. In an escort the console does improve the dmg even more then in a sci ship, cause the basedmg is way higher.

So in total numbers you got more out of an extra tac console in an escort then in a sci ship.

i cant wait to get my grubby little fingers on this ship!

and the nova refit wont make a good pvp ship, sacrafices too much shields and doesnt get enough firepower to make up for it. it will however make a great pve ship.


ships i want the most are-

dssv for the 5 sci console lulz
recon for the sexy luna
nova because who doesnt like an underdog
and intrepid because its currently the best sci bo layout (which in itself makes it slightly op)
and the nebula, because i love the nebula!

i figure at 4 consoles each for the luna, nova, and dssv and 1 console for the nebula and interpid... im looking at-

14 modules at 500 zen each... thats what like... 60-70$ for ships that'll get replaced at some point by something that will cost about as much?

-shut up and take my money!... not because i want to but because you have nothing better to offer!-

First.
I rather like the standard recon science ship. It isn't the biggest or baddest thing on the block but it works. One of several ships that worth the time it took to level up.

Now.
I will not be getting a fleet recon science. Not as currently setup. Like I will not be getting any of the fleet ships. I compare the fleet ships to any $20.oo C-Store ship and I personally am left wondering what makes it worth the cash. With c-store ships they are account wide, and have special equipment that are useful. Here, it feels like it's just them giving it a ton of paint and slapping the fleet name on it. I can't even see them worth 1 module on top of all the time and effort players will need to put into getting one.

It's nice they added to the game, but to me the cost to benefit is too far out of balance for me to do it.

DAMN i want that ship now o.o

I got to agree here $20 (4 Fleet Modules) for a Console and a 10% Boost to Shield and Hull seems kind of steep. When it's only 1 character.

For $25 I can get a choice of a lot of nice ships for my entire Fed family.

My Fleet is past the Tier 2 Shipyard and have been flying the Fleet Recon for a while now... LOVE IT!

I will get the Fleet Nova just for the hell of it though...

I like running single cannons on the Fleet Luna Class with turrets... turns like an escort, keeps crowds at bay with GW3, Sensor Analysis helps with the low tac BOFF seating. And as a Joined Trill engineer running this... man sustained weapons fire isn't an issue with 3 out of 5 BOFFs assigned on ship seat that are efficient actually makes me tank a lot.

It's all about the setup of the ship in the end. I had the same layout with the regular Luna Class ship before I got this fleet version. I like surviving and crowd control.
