    General question. Is it any good. I have got one mainly because....... Well "All good things" and from its looks and aesthetics generally it is damn nice (helps if you have th saucer sep console already because practical or not it looks awsome). Anyway just a newish player and wondered what wisdom is out there.


    Btw. Using saucer seperation and then the phaser lance is........ Surprising

    Of the Galaxy class variants in the game it is definitely the better of all of them, the normal Galaxy/Andromeda is identical but lacks the lance and hanger so are at a disadvantage.

    It's an adequate dreadnought cruiser, if not especially powerful. Compared to some of the newer heavy cruisers and dreadnoughts out there it's been left a little behind now. Things like the Vanguard Jem'hadar dreadnought and the MW ships, or even the Odyssey Flagships are probably better tbh.

    All that said though, unless you are going for top end DPS performance and the ship is fun to fly then I cannot see anything wrong with it. It's got plenty of potential for the majority of players to find it more than adequate for all the content they could ever encounter.
    Hanger pets have had a nice buff recently and are pretty decent now unlike a few years ago.
    Also, phaser energy weapons have got an absolute tonne of potential gear and traits etc that buff them so a full phaser build on her is going to work really nicely,and that will go well with your phaser lance.

    Yeah there is a lot of stuff to learn when you are new; it can seem daunting.

    If you ever need any help or advice with anything just give a shout out here on the forums or in game in the UFP channel; there's always lots of people around to help out fellow community members.

    If there's any gear you are needing just say and we can have a dig through the various fleet banks to see if we've got anything to help you out; we've got a tonne of stuff across 7 different fleets that's there to help members. Most of it is free to take too if people have a use for it.

    The Yamato is one of the better Barbie ships. Anything on TV or film tends to look very nice. There are certainly stronger ships out there for different play styles but as long as one has fun, who cares. Chasing DPS can get expensive but you can be pretty competitive with dropped and reputation gear.

    When you hit end game, just keep up with events and reputation for opportunities on gear and ships.

    I wouldn’t say the regular T6 Galaxy is at a disadvantage, sure the extra features on the yamato are nice but I’ve seen Bridger pull off 200k dps in the T6 gal. Personally I run the regular t6 galaxy because I prefer its look. I wouldn’t say one is objectively better than the other.

    Thanks for all the advice.

    I will get into game tonight once i have finished work but at this stage i believe i have absolutely nothing in the way if phaaers, save dfor the mark x weapons that xome with the ship. That said i have some mark xii poleron beams and consoles courtessy of the jh character but no phasers or matxhing consoles. I might need to look in to where i can get them.

    As i mentioned earlier i am a newish player, i did play through the game to level 50 when that was the cap and them picked it up again when the dominion joined but was forxed to stop with comouter issues. Now i am back i seem to have developed a perminantly confused facial expression
