I have to agree.the uni ens slot is necessary for any kind o configuration that will work as well as the other classes. right now a tac skipper is by far better off in Excelsior, and an engineer better off in a sovvy to make it something better than the others, you almost need a uni LCDR and a uni LT, with LCDR ENG, LT Tac and LT Sci

What I meant was I have learned to deal with it and modify my approach I noticed with my build she seems to turn well at half impulse on the throttle. I slow to turn and throttle up.

The more I fly her the more I am getting a feel for her.

As much as i see this 3\3\3 console idea I still disagree with it.

Agree with you.

She's a great ship class. Just have to know how to use her.

The testing mission has been fixed since the last patch so the ship you are flying in it is the ship you get (minus all the consoles ofc).

Some people on the beginning threds are nuts the odyssey was built as a CRUISER not a science vessel or tactical escort. It was built as the other cruisers for TANKING not OMG IM GONA BLOW YOUR SHIPS UP WITH MY VERY LARGE SHIP. workout.

Odyssey class: Very exelent CRUISER

As ive heard on the wire, Science people like it.

I have a Quantum Torp. setup on mine and i use the Quantum console speeding up the reload time. I have my Lt Cmdr tactical on min LC universal console with the Torpedo High Yield III as her skill, I kick A$$.

bare minimum to YOU, not everyone else

Honestly, the turn rate doesn't bother me that much. While it's still an annoyance when you finish up a battle pointed in the wrong direction, I've found I already compensate for the heavier inertia in battle. This trick is to flip your turn just before the enemy shields drop and then fire Torpedo High Yield into the opening.

My Feedback for the Odyssey.

Beautiful ship and despite what what some say it moves with elegance, it has the same turn rate as the Galaxy Retrofit yet 'feels' more smooth and elegant when it moves.

It's a great tank and quite versatile with it's awesome Lt.Cmd universal Boff station, however the Ensign Sci station is a handicap if you put anything other than an Engineer in the Lt.Cmd station.
Because if you do you will only have your Commander Engineer for all Eng powers, having the option to put an Eng in the Ensign station would help to balance it out, in other words if the Ensign station was Universal as well it would perfect the Boff set-up.

And one last thing that is disappointing there have been a good few Tweek Leeks of the Saucer Separation yet Gecko decided to not add it to this version, in all fairness it should be Saucer Sep 'Capable' so those of us with a Galaxy Retrofit can use our Saucer sep console on the Odyssey.
Then when the +1 version comes out on the C-Store with it's Aux Craft people will buy that if they want it, they shouldn't need to buy the +1 version just to use the console from another C-Store ship.

^ there is a baseline for turnrate below that it just gets annoying.

It's a good ship but man the bridge is so empty i have at least 25 empty chairs! and numerous lcars. Can we just get mo bo/genenric spots put it, i want my bridge to hum, to reflect the flagship, as it stands my ToS bridge feels more organic them 8 guys spread over a coloseum.
