That has been voted as a major imbalace do to the fact you can instantly split a Galazy increasing firepower of it by a large sum (about double the fire power). Plus the ability to do it whenever makes the Galaxy one to fear. Which is not what the devs want. They want you to fear the cube!

Why would it double the firepower? it doesn't spawn new torpedo launchers or Phaser Arrays...

I see that left for something like the campaign, where a special mission might require you to do that. Just thinking...

well, the technical manual for the ship states that there is 1 rear firing torpedo launcher on the saucer and one forward ventral phaser strip on the stardrive section. they are covered up by each other when the ship is in one piece

To double firepower, it would need to gain an additional 12-14 phasers and 3 launchers. It only gets one of each. Seperation only doubles the number of ships and makes the Stardive more dangerous, rather than doubling firepower.
