actually on the net when i was looking for how russia hacked the military computers i came across that a drone was hacked. but we will fight the hackers the hackers will fight us.

But if we rely too heavily on systems vulnerable to hacking, aren't we just taking unnecessary risks?

Because it is waaaaaaay off topic and is now barely on the topic of carriers let alone battleships?

Indeed, arguing the toss over 21st century naval strategy doesn't seem to gel with the OP or "Federation Gameplay" in general.

The Lt. and Enisgn Tac abilities can be usefull for this ship


I've been using my Tac with the DN and have tried this:

3x dhc
1x qtorp

2x turret
2x ba

Lt Tac: FAW1, CRF1
Ensign Tac: HYT1

(not to mention offensive engineer skills)

In the STF's I have found that I can really lay out the damage pretty well, especially fighting multiple targets. Spraying the group around while finishing one target at a time. It's not as nasty as a CRF 3 volley, but the ship tends to stay alive a lot longer than the escorts do, PLUS throw heals to teammates. I just plow forward at a leisurely pace and hammer on things. Is it the nastiest thing? No. Is it useful, yes.

This thread should be why does the Dreadnought still turn like a tugboat and why do tier 5 ships not have all universal commander bridge officer slots? How could Cryptic charge so much for pet rock in space?

Heh, if you remember pet rocks, you'd be able to answer your own question. Why was anyone ever able to charge so much for pet rocks in the first place? Because people thought they were cool and were willing to pay for them.

It's a good cruiser, but people who get it want to be able to do monster DPS, and their expectations aren't in line with what most cruisers are generally capable of.

People charged for them? I just went to a creek, found a rock, painted and put stuff on it.

They were sold in major department stores and were very trendy for a while. $4 or more for a rock with eyes glued to it. That was back in the 70's. The person who came up with the idea ended up a multimillionaire.

Trust me, I know all about them. I grew up in the 70's. I was being somewhat "snarky" to the referrence, while also telling a real story on how I got my own "pet rock".
