Yes.  Very weird.  The Galaxy is a slug.  You must have everything specc'd perfectly for speed and maneuverability or something.  Or all power engines.

[TrashMan]

Actually no..normal specc'd.. stationary. Weird. It's behaving sluggish now. I'm kinda underwhelemed by the Galaxy.Then again, It's not equipped that well yet.

The Heavy Escort (U.S.S Phoenix) is a damage dealing monster. Heh..I'll probably get rid of all the torpedo launchers...or sumtin'. Or go all torp?

[Retsof]

I can't stop thinking of "fire at will" as "Beam-Free-All"

[TrashMan]

Something tells me a full phaser/dual phaser setup for the Galaxy is the best bet.

[LunarNightmare]

I just got a Galaxy class cruiser.  I swear to god, this thing is more nimble than my Heavy Escort! Weird....

 

[TrashMan]

The galaxy beign nible is definately a one-time glitch.
anywhoo, I spent today hunting for equipmetn for my twoships. My Heavy Escort now packs tripple dual heavy tatryon cannons (wiht extra damage) and 3 +15% teryon damage consoles. And one plasma and one tetron turret in the back. My two tac officers have cannon rapid fire and cannonsalvo,my engineer has aux power to weapons, and I'm stocked on aux power, shield and weapon batteries.

If It turn all of it on, my damage output becomes unholy. Alas, I don't have much in terms of durability.


My Galaxy - I decked it out with dual phaser banks and photon torpedos. Would plasma be better?

[Commander Zane]

Isn't the Tac console on the right for cannons?

[TwentyPercentCooler]

That's me.

How are people getting the range boosts I keep seeing?

[TwentyPercentCooler]

How are people getting the range boosts I keep seeing?

Which range boosts are you talking about? I haven't logged on much lately thanks to painkillers; is it some new thing?

[NGTM-1R]

How are people getting the range boosts I keep seeing?

I believe you speak of the magical LagMonster.

[crizza]

Hm...I got my first five EDCs and wonder what I should do with them...save them or buy the first weapons etc.

[Commander Zane]

If you're like me you're better off saving them for the set you want, if you want one of the sets anyway.
I got Common Armor Tech as an act of mercy, and bought the shield and weapon of the same Mark.

If I'm lucky I'll be able to get a Rare Armor Tech at the least, then use the 80 chips I need for the next shield and weapon.
Though I could try getting the shield tech as well, I'm not lifting a finger to try getting weapon tech. **** Cure Ground.

[Liberator]

As an aside, before you guys get neck deep in figuring out which set you want, Cmdr Roxy has a set that costs 15 EDCs and 3/4 pieces of it are VERY desireable from a survivability standpoint, just look under her General Merchandise store.

[NGTM-1R]

Yeah, get the Borg set and then you can start saving up for MACO or Omega Force, use Salvage for weapons.

[TrashMan]

EDCs?


On another note, I found a way to get rid of all the R&D hassle. I just dumepd all of my research/crafting materials on Retsof. Easier to build up one person to high levels of craftsmanship than 1 person.

[Commander Zane]

Encrypted Data Chips that you pick up as STF rewards, or sometimes in the middle of a STF as a drop (If you can get it during the Need or Greed phase that is).

[IceFire]

This thread has convinced me to try it out...so I am
