If you were a Gold before you were a silver you'll get the slots.

For anyone that is interested, The Starfleet Renegades STO fleet is recruiting new members. The founding members consist of Centurus, Dawg, CaptainGMAN, WileyCoyote and myself. We are a casual fleet, created by friends for friends. If you are not yet in a fleet please feel free to PM me here, or in STO @Meteorafallen.

A supersized Akira with torpedo barrage point defence system, 2000CP.

Dang you beat me to it Lionus :fist:

I like the look of this boat I really do, but that ensign tac slot really does look pointless imo. An ensign uni or combining that slot with the lt tac would make it far more useful imo.
But that point defence torp OH MYYYY! I always imagined the akira as a torpedo boat. But does this mean she'll be stuck with photons if you want to get the maximum torp damage out of her like the dreadnaught and her phaser lance?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3308 on:** June 12, 2012, 05:07:54 PM »

Now THAT's a warship. Do want. Might even retire my Akira for it.

It's a "point defense" CONSOLE, and from the sound of it (being a point defense weapon), it's automated. I don't think it matters which torpedo type you equip on the ship, the console will still fire photons.

It's not automated. I assume it works in a similar way to the Point Defense pulse phaser, fires at all targetable items within 5km for around 3 seconds, has a 1 minute (maybe more) recharge. And yes it will probably be photons only.

It stats are identical to the fleet escort, only difference is the BOFF Layout.

You misunderstand me. I know it's a console and I know it will still fire photons much like how the dreads phaser lance will still be a phaser even if you stick a load of polaron beams on her. I'd like to know whether or not the photon console will affect it because if that is the case then you might as well stick with photons on this thing much how one ought to stick with phasers on a dread.

BFGfreak · « **Reply #3313 on:** June 13, 2012, 10:14:29 PM »

oh god, imagine how much burst you'd get if it A: stacks with dmg consoles, and B: doesn't share the torpedo's global cooldown. That said, there is only one true way to outfit an akira: mass torpedoes

Actually, I'm wondering if you can customize the look of it so that it can be a true akira or if you're stuck with the one model as they seem to be doing as of late.

I'm pretty sure it only fires Photons.

From that dev blog: "But, we also know many fans would still just want a pure Akira, so we decided that the Tier 5 variant should come with the traditional Akira costume option, as well as the Oslo and Zephyr. The Thunderchild costume is also supported if the player owns the Thunderchild ship."

I'm not talking about changing the torp type of the console. Although it would be pretty hand for cruisers if you could get a chroniton version of this thing

BFGfreak · « **Reply #3317 on:** June 14, 2012, 07:07:44 PM »

well it would add a new definition (of pain) to broadsides if you could equip it on cruisers. Alas, no such luck

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3318 on:** June 14, 2012, 07:46:46 PM »

It would be very useful for cruisers in order to grab aggro from a bunch of ships quickly but damage wise I don't see it doing much other than pi**ing the enemies off unless you happen to hit an unshielded arc with every singe torp.

Btw, the Armitage is broken. Due to a foul up by the devs we currently cannot enter an stf with them. According to Dstahl a fix is due within 12 hours.
In case any of you guys missed him, he was in quarks on instance 1 for a few hours tonight. He took the shape of MORN!

I have named my Armitage USS Shanks. Honk if you get the reference!

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3319 on:** June 14, 2012, 08:12:23 PM »

Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson, SG-1) ?
