    Probably one of the most underused ship's in the game. It is a really fun escort that hasn't gotten a T6 equivalent even with the Odyssey variants and legendary versions the Aquarius seems to be left in the closet. I think I have a plasma and agony phaser build saved for this. Been contemplating if I should drop on an X-upgrade for the ship or holdout hope for a T6 version ... xD ... thoughts? ideas? concepts? Constitution light

    There isn't any specialized seating, but there are always workarounds on that. This little buzzard is definitely a firefly that can be very nimble plus it is the smallest federation ship and is just slightly larger than the Delta Flyer or a large shuttle.

    Having two omni beams in the aft and probably beam arrays up front with a ton of maneuverability probably would make this little guy hard to hit but hit hard. I have tried the cannon approach but turrets might be better since this ship is pretty fast, however they don't hit hard despite the 360 hit. I think I've had more success on beams than trying to land decent cannon shots. But I am open to ideas.

    Still debating on dropping a X-upgrade, so I'm wondering if the extra console slot and trait is worth it on this ship.

    I dropped an X on the jem T5 bug the other day more so so i could throw a starter build up for it with the gamma recruit event being live again.

    If you feel that you will get some use out of the ship X'd up then yes its worth it but if your not going to and drop it for something T6 then no it aint

    Yeah, been wondering how many gigawatts I can squeeze out of this little ship. Suspicious
    Some of the vanity shields look killer on this unique looking ship btw.

    Nice find; though I'm surprised the video doesn't show his bridge officer selections; could figure it out from the panel below but unless he chose specific boffs for their bonuses. I have almost all the consoles he shows on the ship except all those tact specific ones for phasers, I use the colony shield, energy specific and torp combo consoles. Def an idea there.
