The turning issues of both ships can be fixed with an RCS Accelerator.

The issue with RCS Accelerators is that it reduces your survivability; in my experience, the Sovereign is better at endgame (STFs etcetera).

I did a blog postoutlining why I don't think the Odyssey is really that good at STFs... http://www.majormagna.co.uk/?p=111

I don't think the Odyssey is terrible looking, actually I think most of it looks pretty decent. I think the pylons are little narrow though; a little disproportionate to the rest of the ship. If they were to fix that I'd probably consider it one of my favorite designs...

It occurs to me that it seems like a very bad idea to have the transwarp gate to an area of space under heavy Borg and Undine attack right next door to Risa.

And is it just my imagination, or is Betazed nowhere to be found?

The consoles don't do much for the oddy. They buff by percentage and not a set number if I remember correctly. The percentage of the veeery low numbers of the oddy is an even lower number which equals a slightly less veeery low number.

I'm sticking with my (ridiculous) Excelsior. Slightly less hull points but just as much fire power and much much better manoeuvrability.

You know, if the bow of the Bortas were a little better looking, it might be tolerable.

And who decided that there should be windows on the warp engines?

captain_obvious · « **Reply #2865 on:** February 05, 2012, 01:44:04 PM »

Not me that's for sure!

But is it just me or does cryptic simply not know how to make a good look ships bow? Just look at the sovvie (or any ship with a saucer remotely like that) and you will see my point.
It's a shame they didn't just, ya know, ask us if they could use our models.

Lionus · « **Reply #2866 on:** February 05, 2012, 02:24:47 PM »

well, their models are low poly to avoid lag on fleet action situations etc.. would you want it to lag like BC does when there's 50+ ships against each other?

Who said they had to use the very best models? I'm there are some much lighter ones polywise that look almost as good!
I always believed that texture res and not polys that killed performance quicker.

Yeah, first time I see a que in that game.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #2870 on:** February 05, 2012, 07:03:04 PM »

Yet not the first time to see a Q. ;)

Anyways, yeah, I saw that too, and it's the first time I've seen it as well.

And speaking of Q, am I the only one that hears John de Lancie's voice even though it's not supposed to be his Q?

FarShot · « **Reply #2871 on:** February 05, 2012, 07:22:39 PM »

I hear him. Even in my sleep.

Betazed used to be on the Galactic Map in between to sector blocks where you can't go, its gone now after they updated the map to remove references to planets/systems that didn't exist, and also to be higher res.

I like how you pick up on a missing Betazed, yet not Telar, a founding member of the UFP

It's in the 'missing sector' between the Sirius block and the Beta Ursae block.

Bah, forgot about the Tellarites homeworld. You see more Betazoids than Tellarites.
