There is merit in the "DPS is King" idea.

I was in an Infected Elite mission with 4 Cruisers and we couldn't make the Optional with all the weak DPS.

It didn't help that they stayed at range while I had to sweep in and out in my Escort/ Destroyer.

I now know what it feels like to SOLO the STF LOL.
If your post is anything like, "I have a sandwich so you can't be starving" it's time to rethink posting.

The game is so combat-focused that if you aren't packing heat, you're simply at a disadvantage.

I see what your saying but just because you can access differant things from differant positions, each position is still 'Designed' for a role.

Perhaps Federation have more Uni-stations and the Klingons get a new seperate universal Console. This way it balances out and feels more like canon, because let's face it, Klingon design is slang for 'Retro-Fit' anyway


ATTENTION: UNDINE SPACE & TKON GROUND SETS ALL THE WAY DEVS!.. Q-TRIBBLE, MAYBE!?.. EJECT WARP CORE ABILITY LIKE LAYING A SUPER-MINE, HELL YES!!!.. SPACE HIPPIES FROM TOS PLAYING MUSIC IN OUR FLEET STARBASE, NO, JUST, NO... CAIT & RA'KHOLN ADVENTURE ZONE, YES

Well, this is what I thought originally when I first got the game, that I was gonna grab the galaxy class the first chance I got and really be able to hold my own. When I discovered how outmatched I was in every way, I was extremely disappointed. Somehow, I was being beaten by ships half my size, and with fewer weapons. So I took a few years off, came back, did some reading, and decided to go with the assault crusier, and recently the refit. Still disapopointed with its performance, but it is better. And I'm getting better.

When doing the Deferi Dailies, three crummy frigates are consistently more threatening than a Chael Grett cruiser.

Cue "working as intended" post below.

For a cheap and easy fix, lower beam array power drain and improve the space innates with the ability to cast on teammates and npcs.

More long term fixes include making PvE/P more tank and support friendly, and introducing a cruiser-exclusive weapon type.

I agree. I find it too limiting as it is. I thought there was an error when I signed up with Klink side and saw the set up. The BOP also automatically comes with Battle Cloak. Anyways... wish the uni slots were across the board. Why not, after all? It would certainly make the game more interesting, at least, where PVP is concerned.

What would such a Cruiser lose as compensation for being an all Universal BOff ship?
The BoP lost both shields and hull for its advantages. Making a capable but squishy vessel.
So what would the Universal BOff Cruiser lose in Shields and Hull?

To me it sounds like a good counter balance since a cruiser is on the opposide side of the spectrum from a raider. All the same powers with totaly different play mechanics.

I mean the fed cruiser was always a sort of go anywhere do anything ship, so why not have one?

Some proposed stats.


38k hull (40k fleet)
1.0 shield mod (1.1 fleet)
0.15 impulse
7 degree turn rate
800 crew
40 inertia

3/3/3 console setup (4/3/3) for a fleet version
4/4 weapons
3 device slots.
+5 to all sub systems.

Boff seating
Cmdr
LTC
LTC
LT


IF there were somthing like this the any captain could have their cruiser and kit it the way they want.

Maybe then some of them will be happy. Or realize thet their idea for a cruiser was wrong and end up with better builds.
What a lovely Mary Sue vessel you have there.

They don't seem to understand that concept.
All cloaks should be canon.
