I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

Science Odyssey continues the Cryptic tradition of looking the best and most normal of the three.

I thought I'd be way into these but honestly they're all fairly uninspiring.

I find the ops Oddy intriguing. I need to see more, but the wide saucer feels like a bit of a throwback to TNG design.

And if nothing else, non-tapering nacelles will do wonders added to the T5 Oddy skin.

You have a point.

Is it just my faulty memory, or has Cryptic been really pushing command spec z-store ships lately?

They flirted with pilot seating for a little while and put intel seats on the T6 Avenger, but they went back to Command pretty fast.

Thematically, command spec fits the big cruisers they've been releasing.

I talked about this earlier. It's because things like bombing run don't scale, so they don't scale down, which benefits people who are terrible players.

I wonder if they're ever going to release another spec, or if that's another thing they're not doing anymore. They waited too long if they want specs to be something people grind for - I think most of the regulars are sitting on large banks of unspent spec points by now.

Yeah, that makes a depressing sort of sense. Same reason they're so obsessed with having dedicated tanks around, since they can't build a ship able to survive.

I always thought the tank obsession was just their complete inability to accept anything other than the holy tank/DPS/healer trinity. I can't imagine they actually need a tank - they generally don't draw enough aggro to get shot at.

Well that's part of it too, but the only reason it's persisted this long is due to idiots with bad builds exploding when so much as a sphere looks at them. :geno:

They make command ships because pubbies fancy themselves "commanders" in their fantasy while they jack off over their bridge bunnies.

Those T6 flagships aren't terrible. At all. The romulan one is outright sexy looking. Pity it's saddled with a singularity core but I suppose you can't have everything.

If I still played my romulan character then I'd pay cash money for one. But I don't because alts have been terrible since Delta hit. Guess I'm keeping drinking that fifty bucks.

Can't see the haters.
Borticus visited a Twitch stream chat yesterday and suggested the latest changes to kemocite (lower proc, damage and removal of crits) were unintentional. If this means that kemocite will end up getting buffed from its current state, is something best left unsaid.

Oh, and lootcritter was on the same stream.
