lmao!!

What a load of BS.

What bugs me more than anything is this:

The Kamarag has:
+ 3.5 turn (or 150% the turn rate)
Can Mount Dual Cannons
A fracking Cloak
+5 weapon power and +5 Engine Power

all at the cost of 4,500 hull (oh noes!), -5 Shield Power, -5 Aux Power

I'd give up that much hull and power JUST for the +3.5 turn rate, let alone the ability to mount cannons and CLOAK!

People should never, ever complain about the feds getting anything, when the what the KDF gets is almost always superior (especially when it comes to cruiser stats)

You have to understand. Cryptic follows some weird stat budgets on ships. For example turn rate is severely underestimated. I guess its because in PvE NPCs barely move.

so T3 ships are permanent while T5 are limited time?

T5: Availability: Mission Reward (Limited Time)

T3: Availability: Mission Reward

That's correct. After February 14 expect the T5 ship to show up in the C-store with a console.

Can we get something other than a cruiser next year?

Not against free ships, great for people who love cruisers...

But, this game does have Science and Escort fans.....

The Galaxy-R, and like wise the Galaxy-X have a Turn rate of 6, 39K hull, and 1000 crew.

The Excelsior refit has a turn rate of 8, 39K hull, and 750 Crew.

The Ambassador has a Turn rate of 7, 39.5K hull, and 700 crew.

The Assault Cruiser refit has a Turn Rate of 7, 39K hull, and 800 Crew.

The only real difference between the Ambassador and the Excelsior is the flip flopped Tac / Sci BOFF stations. The Galaxy R/X has a Lt Comm Eng Station, and the Assault Cruiser Refit has a universal Lt Station.

One other really odd part about this, is that the Ambassador and the Excelsior are RA level ships, the others are VA rank. If you compare them with the Oddy Command Cruiser a VA level cruiser, it's rather sad.

Outside of that i's really just differences in special consoles they have, but most of them can be swapped around.

Because it's a video game. We have Fleet Galaxy-class ships now, compare the Ambassador to that, if you want to split hairs.

I will enjoy it very much thanks. And if you don't like them, then stop reading my positive comments.

And I don't care if no one cares if I dislike soup.

this is by far the bulkiest cruiser apart from a odyssey out there T5 wise it also gives sci captains a cruiser in which they can use actual powerful sci powers in on top of that it is on par with everything but the excel in turning cruiserwise so i feel like this ship has potential and i would love to fly that ship around and get to know how it will perform in battle.
