What I want to know is, with this Galor getting Spiral Wave Disruptors, will the NPC Galors, Keldons and Hidekis get them too?

Yeah, but Tacs get more out of escorts than cruisers.

I must admit, although I like being able to turn quickly, and have epic DPS; I much prefer Engineer/Cruiser play.

3-point turns will be done with cruisers no matter what class your toon is.. Tac's can barely do it any faster than engs, I think.. :P

Look at this

Don't worry they're not releasing a new version of Gal-X in the C-Store, they're just letting you able to move over your SS console from the Gal-R

Makes you wonder how the phaser lance is supposed to work, heh.

Sonofa...was trying to do the Khitomer Accord ground STF, and pretty much EVERYONE left.  Heck, with just one guy gone we couldn't take down one of those generator things before the shields went back up.

What the heck.  The space STF Cure is supposed to give you a Rare Borg component for trading in, but I've done it twice, and no Borg drops.

Those escorts are just too damned weak.  Turn fast, fly fast DIE fast.
Besides the excelsior is a nice little DPS boat XD

WEAK?! I can without trouble go against battleships with an escort. You just don't know how to fly them.. they require active controlling instead of sitting there and relying on autofire.  :angel

not everybody takes an active part in commanding, let alone running everything in manual mode.  you'd make a great command officer with a tactical subspecialty, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not an auto fire n00b.  Far from it, I can't even figure out how to activate that thing!
No, I am a manual fire n00b :D

On another note, when BC first came out did anyone here manage to finish the alioth mission (where you have to leave data behind) after having beaten the "overwhelming" cardie forces and gotten the secret quantums?  Now how many of you managed it without mods or god mode? :P

been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Although, never got past the mission where I had to defend Starbase 12 from the Kessoks.

I've just finished SP missions for first time (  :doh:) without cheats for my Maelstrom Mod WIP.  Did use a walkthrough which helped, but only real tough episode was final one.

the STFs don't automatically give the rare or prototype borg tech, those are rare loot, I've been playing the new STFs since they came out, I've only ever seen one Rare Borg Tech, and no Prototype Borg Tech.

Crap.  So my best bet is to just get a lot of Encrypted Data Chips?
