    Top notch article Kerry, I have to agree with Britsurfers assessment on the new flagships. I've been experimenting with a Scimitar Beam/Torp hybrid boat. One thing I've noticed about the Super Charged Weapons trait is that you can get all three stacks of the buff by firing off a torpedo spread, this makes a lot of sense as you are firing a handful of torpedoes. I'm not sure if this is working as intended but its great for getting higher initial spike damage. Also in conjunction with various DOFFs for torp cooldown etc, getting that instant 3 stack buff for 30% bonus damage is really great to help offset that DPS spiral you can fall into when your initial spike damage.

    At first I was like Brit thinking that a command seating was just a complete waste, an opinion I held up until I finally got my hands on the 9 pack. I can safely say I couldn't have been more wrong Cool

    I swear Command ships get a raw deal. People don't realize how good they are, because they aren't pew pew. Basically any command style ship can be devastating in the hands of someone who has figured them out.

    Great article. Bought the bundle, had been thinking of buying Scimitars for quite a while and more than glad I waited. Can't wait to try them out over next few days. Command will be new to me even though most toons have completed the specialisation, so should be interesting trying out a few skills.

    I'm a bit on the fence on whether or not I should get the T6 Odyssey bundle as I'm still attached to my T6 Fleet Defiant and, to a degree, my Jupiter carrier. I figured the tactical trait do well but I am a bit surprised the engineering trait isn't as useful. Then again, I've read that damage resistance has diminishing returns so maybe I shouldn't have been surprised. The science trait sounds great for gravity wells but my sci character is my least played, so perhaps this might give me motivation to play him more.

    Personally, I just copied everything over 1:1 from my Scim to the T6. Gained A2SIF (allowing me to drop a defensive trait for an offensive one) and she's a lot prettier, and that's about all that's changed for me.

    Was watching a discussion about this in the DPS league just yesterday. The high end folks really seem to like Rally Point Market.
