I kinda want to try a cruiser, since for the most part, I think I've been sticking with more escorty style ships.

Well, he has been flying an Avenger (named Avenger) since they came out AFAIK. Not sure if it was his work account or private account.

Yeah, basic Tier 5 is 9-console, and from there you upgrade to 10-console ships in the form of Fleet/Lockbox/Lobi/C-store ships. Or possibly summer/winter event ships, which are free once a year.

All the new guys worrying about getting a ten console uber ship like the other cool goons have, you'll be able to pick up a Risian Corvette and/or a Risian Luxury Cruiser (details yet to be released) in a few weeks or a month. All you'll have to do is some bullshit one person race once every 20 hours, 25 times and the ship is yours.

Oh, and another question, as an engineer should I try to get a tier 5 battlecruiser warbird rather than the escorty ones?

Thanks. I wanted to put you back in the camp at some point but I can't copy paste maps apparently.

I also "beautified" Bijor part 1 a bit too.

You can duplicate maps. There's a button for it. I used it to duplicate the market in Blood, Bij and Honor.

As an engineer, get whatever you feel fun. Don't feel constrained by your player career, it's not that relevant to your ship.

For PVE, fly whatever you find fun. Stay away from the Ha'apax though, that thing is a piece of poo poo. For PVP you'd probably want a lockbox cruiser like the Monbosh or the Galor rather than a warbird.

You mean recommended Fed science ships? Vesta. Just the Vesta. (Although the Fleet Nova gets points for style.)

Reviewing is always disabled following a season launch, as new changes usually gently caress up old foundry missions pretty bad and they don't want the authors having their ratings slammed until they can go back and fix things.

You're likely better off with the Scimitar due to it being one of the best ships in the game for a variety of situations, but if you did want to try a D'Deridex because it looks awesome you need to make sure you're space rich enough to kit out a proper A2B build - the Dex is really versatile due to it's boff layout but it is worse than useless without any cooldown reduction due to its' whale-like nature and lack of redundant power options. Auxbatt is the only way to fly it. And for the love of gently caress, don't try to fly a Ha'apax.

The Corvette is awesome and worth the time spent flying through rings. It's nearly a copy/paste of the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier's layout, minus the fighters, that trades health for speed and maneuverability. I had to change very little when transferring over to the JHDC, mostly just replacing Eject Warp Plasma.

During Romulan beta it had the perfect cruiser layout and could use the Haakona unique console to seperate it into a support ship and a destroyer, with you choosing which one you piloted while the other one gave support. Flying that thing in destroyer mode with a support ship providing heals and debuffs would have been absolutely fantastic and I was really looking forward to that thing going live.

Cryptic, of course, changed the boff layout to the same sub-par garbage most cruisers get stuck with, because god forbid a cruiser do anything except stack engineering tank abilities. It went from a new kind of ship with fantastic possibilites to cookie-cutter garbage cruiser build but this time it's got battlecloak and singularity powers!!!1

It's got a lovely boff layout and not even the zen-store console can save it. Avoid it.

It's mostly a stunningly mediocre ship (basically a non-retrofit assault cruiser, a launch-era bridge officer setup, if trading a bit of turn rate for a battle cloak and singularity stuff) when the rest of the Romulan lineup are basically the best ships in the game. The Scimitar is the best ship in the game, and the D'deridex gets you that precious Lieutenant Commander tactical and science bridge officer slots.

The Haakona console is a fun toy (basically saucer separation, but with a sciboat option too that nobody should ever use) but it doesn't really add enough to make it better than the competing cruiser-warbirds.

EDIT: What was the original layout on the Haakona anyway? I forget. I recall the D'deridex's being poo poo initially though (a Galaxy-R copy?)

The Corvette is the fastest ship in the game, bar none. A few of the raiders have better turn, but none match the impulse modifier. This means that any boost to speed is insanely enhanced... throw EPTE, Aux2Damp, APO, or other speed/mobility boosting powers on it and you're zooming around the map. Evasive maneuvers usually makes you faster than full impulse, and something like Impulse Burst can carry you across a map before the buff runs out. It's hilariously fun, and you can paint it any color you want.

Coming back to this after having tried it out briefly when it was first released. Still feels a bit janky, the art direction is terrible, and the story lines are so terribly fanwanky, but apparently overall the game is good now?
