I've also been having issues with the shield capacity and shield healing abilities with all of the Andorian escort ships. I compared the shield cap and shield healing boff abilities of the Andorians escorts to the tactical escort which also has a .9 shield modifier like the Andorian escorts. The Andorian escorts shields and healing abilities were significantly less than a comparable tactical escort.
Cryptic/PerfectWorldEntertainment I wish you well on working out these issues and thank you for your hard work. I continue to anticipate all the future content that you will be releasing and am confident that you'll do you best to make it the best it can be.
The big reason why the public testing of ships on Tribble stopped was the fact that 99% of the feedback they got about the ships was people just going "looks cool, I'd buy it," with a very minimal amount of people going and actually attempting to test the ships.
How nice you picked the Vesta as a example because it was supposed to have a "focused" testing group of hand picked people.
Yet the ship have several bugs on release, in fact I recall when stats were initial posted people started to discuss them and pointing out issues, one I certainly remember was the Aux DHCs were at that point were not Vesta-Only and I certainly argued about issues when put on other ships, there were changes on release from the ones initial posted.
Also I have to say its BS, we tested the Bortas and the Odyssey and did offer feedback ... you can check yourself if 99% of the Feedback was people saying it was cool.

Not to beat a dead horse, but again this is more Cryptic's goof in how the test server is run and operated than a knock on eager gamers who are just taking advantage of the local Movie Preview Channel.
Stuff should be out on Tribble a couple weeks in advance, not days (or in some cases even hours). And access to it should be far more limited to people that are seriously willing to actually test something.
Not saying it would be easy to do. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be worthwhile. I love the concept of a test server, I just wish it was better executed in practice.
Bug found. Comm popups decloaking ships. In the most unfortunate moments.
WHINE.
Devs have yet to do squat about it.

Named after a carrier launched before it was ready, without a working air wing and a crew of novices. Sunk on its maiden voyage. Ring a bell Cryptic?
Perhaps if test were allowed on Tribble and issues were found, by then players reviews and opinions on the Forums would alter the release date sales. Im sure they are watching the sales by the second on this to see if they made their nut on it or not. Releasing it to the public on a test server would decrease the opening day explosion of sales and Zen purchases. This is not a Cryptic issue as much as a PWE issue. Im sure the Dev's at Cryptic would love to do more QA on these items but PWE wants it live on this day at this time with no sneak peaks to spoil opening day numbers
