Aft Phaser for the Teutoburg?

posted on May 31st, 2011, 11:22 am

Just wondering if an Aft Phaser will ever be added? The ship becomes a bit useless when being chased.

I appreciate due to balancing, it might not ever happen, but what if it was made strictly aft with a small arc, and the power of Torpedoes were down to say, 8?

there will never (and should never) be a phaser in game for the teuto, as its meant to be vulnerable. if u want the ability to strike from afar, pay the price of 4 warpin slots, and the need to escort it closely.

We are already about to face mass zergakiraling rush spam... kekekekeke
The last thing we need is this!

I think the good ol' Teuto is fine the way it is... it is designed for seiging... and if you can't protect it good enough that it's your fault plus about retreating, it ties in with defending it, the Teuto should be able to retreat, not because it is under attack, but because it has done it's job.


Sorry for hatin' all over the feds all the time, it's just that... there is someone else!

I quote from the guide:

this is a specialized tool, NOT a starfleet Negh'var.

i wish it was a starfleet neghvar......although that ship is way overrated.  it got beat by both the defiant (mirror) and a refit 30 year old galaxy class (last episode of TNG).  in fact the old galaxy spanked two of them. 

the teutoburg is by far my favorite looking starfleet ship in fleet ops and if it was scaled up it would make for an intimidating battlecruiser.

for the game itself i agree though that since its awesome at sieges it probably shouldnt be given anything else.

Defiant and the enhanced super-Galaxy had plot on their side, though. No ship could have beaten them.

i can just see it now, warpin in 2 tuetos (which i have done, in multiplayer no less) and just annilate everything in your path.

While were at it lets give some Uber-quantum-torps, and dual long range XV phaser arrays.

Make it Admiral Janeways hero unit with Transphasic torpedos. Then It should single handedly be able to destroy all life in the universe.

She needs Transphasics? Just deprive her of Coffee, you'd get the same results with regular weapons.
