Pity it's a grind-fest; have been waiting for a T5 Nova and would've purchased it off the c-store in a heartbeat.

I'm gonna grab me a Scourge, only yesterday I wished I could trade the lance for more turn and murder-fish good looks. Where can I find out about the process of getting these ships?

Also, making the Somraw and the Scourge basicly the same ship, only one with less turn but more hull and a cloak is missing a trick. Lieutenant Sci KDF escort would be particularly nice.

Agreed. I'd also have like to have seen one on the Intrepid to allow a Bellerophon style BOFF layout.

Well this is going to mean an uber grindfest now, The Sovereign refit is what the Sovereign should have always been.

Is there a Galaxy-x Retrofit? some kind of update for it?

No Galazxy X this round, they said if its a C-Store ship with powers build in, like the Phaser Lance, then they didn't know how to make a fleet version. Its suppose to be combine C-Store ship console with Fleet ship to make uber ship, but if its like the Excelsior or the Galaxy X then they didn't figure out this release, but they said they are working on future ship releases with updates.

FYI, from the Priority One interview I almost got the feeling that the 1000 day vet ship for the Fed is a tier 5 Conni, just from some of the things they said.

S'funny, I got the impression from it that there will never, ever be a T5 Connie. Thus, the 1000 day ship will be T5 Miranda.

"Anyhow, I'm not too happy with Sovereign Refit's stats. It more of an Excelsior slot than a Sovereign. Sure I love the LT Universal and the LtC Tactical, but it really lost it's tankability. Which is part of the reason why I love the Sovereign, it has a nice balanced nature of attack, defense, and manuverability."

I totally agree with you regarding the Sovereign refit. I love the balance of the Sovereign as well, and with this boff arrangement the balance is lost. I hope this is only the 1st version and will change with further updates.

You know, I think you might be onto something.

Pretty much we are stuck with ships we don't want to fly with configurations we want. Or ships we want to fly with configurations we don't want.

So maybe they should go back to the drawing board and revamp it where we could fly the ships we want with the BO configuration we prefer. And while they are at it, redo the Ship System where we could level up with the ships we want. That way Fleet ships won't be +2 over old T5 ships and +1 over C-store ships and making us feel like idiots for buying these things. (I sure don't want to pay $20 for a console and a ship skin I might never use again).
