Sagan Command Cruiser (Stargazer) Breakdown | Star Trek Online

[@CasualSAB]

A correction regarding what I said about solo runs and Intel team on the Styx. There are other methods that people have used,but the 2x Intel Team + Exitus Acta Probat + Fresh from R&R is the highest performing solo option that I am aware of.

[@ns0557212]

Hey Spencer I've tried to find like a good explanation of this, and literally yours is the best still (styx was favorite ship when it came out still got as event prize I pick) can you succinctly tell me why fresh from R&R is needed? I've checked builds from your discord etc. And can't find an explanation, Is it to get intel team back up as quick as possible? I think I understood the whole build now. Thanks if you can help! Nice comparison too thanks on that.

[@CasualSAB]

Without Fresh from R&R, intel team has a 15s global. With it on, that drops to 10s. Allows for 100% uptime to increase stealthiness.

[@gallendugall8913]

The fact that a ship named after Carl Sagan is not a science ship is the sort of dumb I expect from STP.

[@jonnybridin]

So the console is basically the tholian web shield.

[@TheKythia]

Its so cute how they're trying to push shield tanking down our throats lately. Oh well, I'm always glad when promo ships are a clear pass.

[@redwren4182]

It's a welcome starship trait for tanks in principle but practically totally useless in pve content, and oh yeah totally useless in pvp content. Why I wonder are they putting mediocre ships in expensive boxes. Can't we just delete this gamblebox nonsense already. Just put all lockbox ships into their own cstore tab at a slightly increased price. Same goes for infinity lockbox ships at an even higher price. Least everybody wins then.

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

This is 1 of those ships with its console, stats, & trait I would've bought from the ZStore just to have & not immediately use, but not going to gamble for it nor pay a premium price for a per character. Seems like Cryptic has been focusing on shielding lately. Also, "SAY-GUN" as in Carl Sagan.

[@Mtthwpez]

Trolls will have great days ahead with that console! It's an easy pass for me. Just being from Picard is enough, but it being a Promo ship seals the deal.

[@christopherscott5544]

I think if you were to use the shield console during redalert event it could be wonderful tool. like blocking ships in attacking your starbase while your team flanks the enemy

[@millefune]

Oh boy… that shield along with the Tholian Mesh Wall are going to be super troll status.

[@giantdutchviking]

I was looking the comments for this one, doesn't it do the exact same thing besides growing with more allies around.

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, and realistically, you're not going to see many of them due to the cost.

[@thestokes91]

At this point, wth is the point of a Promo box anyways. The ships don't have amazing stats or traits/consoles, and now they aren't even rare and unique alien ships or something. This is literally just a bog standard Fed torp platform. For $300...

[@ocabear]

This is where my flithy casualness will overide my better judgment. I will get this ship (I am sitting on a box) just because of the visual. Plus its not bad by any means just not the best. Awesome vid!

[@brianriley5108]

Not sure if you're intentionally saying it wrong or not, but Sagan is pronounced Say-gun, as in Carl Sagan.

[@CasualSAB]

Not intentionally, just terrible at pronouncing names.

[@jaketeske6665]

I’ll just wait for the legendary version which will probably be better and account unlocked 😂

[@SGz_Eliminated]

I guess they're just banking on people wanting it for the visuals which tbf they're probably right this is STO afterall. I personally don't like the Styx visually but I think the Sagan is fine looking.

[@TriZander07]

So BO is optimal for this ship... GOT IT! XD

[@CasualSAB]

Terrible.

[@TriZander07]

@@CasualSAB lol.. you know ill do it too!

[@99Cheops99]

Concerning Feedback Pulse. Can I have whatever the hell rank the NPCs use please?

[@CasualSAB]

I wish, lol

[@edapplederry5888]

Should have been a full carrier. It has that huge shuttle bay and we even see a shuttle land. As it is now it's mediocre at best.

[@anonsidious358]

Thanks! My Go to for whether to spend my time or treasure on ships. I might get it for the console put that on the Styx and Trololololol my way through content.

[@CasualSAB]

Thank you! Glad to help and help y'all figure out if it's worth it or not.

[@JCSWW]

That console is going to be fun to use when ever we get the next Breach event. :D

[@giantdutchviking]

Haha, I can only imagine

[@ileria3]

So, not worth the price people will be asking for this. I just don't see any relevance to this ship being viable. Especially compared to the Styx. Just another cash grab from Cryptic.

[@Vinn113]

Useful and informative review. Thanks.

[@CaptainJasonC]

I use it on a lot of my builds. Cost aside this gives you RSP pretty much 100% uptime what else do you need for survivability

[@aethelflaed8411]

You're saying sagan wrong

[@allen1032]

I've always wondered this but with the introduction of ships from Picard, would the Borg species ever be a playable race to an extent where will see new ships like the one commanded by the hybrid Queen Jurati being introduced? Quite honestly I love the look of that ship

[@CasualSAB]

They have stated that ship is too large to add in for us. However, they have made similar, smaller versions of ships in the past to add them in, so it is possible. Example of that being the Styx. Is based on the Charon from S1 of Discovery, which was way too big to be a player ship. So they made a smaller ship that took several design elements from the original.

[@allen1032]

@@CasualSAB Ah that makes sense. Yeah the borg does have some unique ship designs and it's a shame that we don't get play them....yet

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

Yup, need that trait for my thorns tank. Doubt it will work even with it, but gotta try.

[@redwren4182]

I wanted my Borg theme build to have the uber shields and fbp as soon in many on screen encounters. Bloody expensive to do. I wonder if improved fbp trait triggers on rsp with this trait. Would be nice for higher uptime 10/50critx on threat builds.

[@jamesz1003]

weird thing, after watching the video about torp and recursive, I went back to doing my dailies with all my characters. I suddenly noticed, you could do torp and recursive on the LEgendary Glen as well.......and I had that ship for years .......it only occurred to me just then. Here I am, alsmot spending 1.5 billion about to open a Sh'val. Glad my brain got switched on lol

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, the Glenn can do the Recursive + Torp setup quite well. Tried it out when I was trying out the Kirk and Temporal Light Cruiser in torp runs last year. Got the best results out of it.

[@PirateScumGaming]

Ok call me crazy because I probably am but do you think this new trait can harmonize well with Improved Feedback Pulse from the Krenim Science Ship on a Sci Tank to get something decent out of it. I've been working on some really off meta tanks and want to attempt something with this combo.

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, I imagine it would work well with a FBP build like that. Just don't expect a ton from FBP itself, but you'll still get some nice boosts from the traits associated with it.

[@alanpattee4383]

Great Job!

[@gausssto570]

Hard to beat the Styx.

[@Arbyfig]

I want the Obena class more

[@Punisher_the_bot]

Do you know if when we get this ship. Can we get the old skin stargazer go free?

[@michaelkenney5317]

That console may also prematurely trigger TFOs as well like ISE.

[@giantdutchviking]

I hope you can help me with the following. I try to be as economic as I can with my purchases, try to combine (if possible) looks/must-have traits/consoles on C-Store purchases. Now the next step are Promo ships but I have no idea when they are over charging or not. Now since I play on Playstation, I wont ask what the right price for every ship is. But do you know which sales I should aim for to get a Promo ship? - of course a key sale (15% or are there any better?) - any general notice when Promo ships would be cheaper? Is this around a key sale or any other sales? Hope my question makes sense?

[@CasualSAB]

Promo ships should be cheapest while a promo event is active, and maybe near the end if PS is anything like PC. Several of the recent promos have seen limited supply for the first few weeks, then after that near the end of the promo event a massive wave of promos get posted on exchange at 1.5b. Aim for the 25-30% promo sales, they heavily beat out keys. Got a vid recorded on that exact topic, be out in a few days.

[@short72hp1]

hi S. I hoping c store i saw Tri's vid thanks both for update this takes the placeof the janway which I liked because of you on my list of want list

[@jankjason]

If they at least gave it the ability to use the stargazer skin I would consider this instead of the ahwahnae, however it's pretty lackluster for a command cruiser.

[@martinarg1979]

Well you know me Spencer,i will try to get 2,one for me and one to giveaway as i always try 😁

[@giantdutchviking]

You're a saint! I know CasualSAB mentioned he would put your KZbin channel somewhere but I forgot where, could you share it with me? I'm curious about your demo recording. @CasualSAB do you mind?

clickie is going to piss off a lot of pug ISA DPS parsers

[@CasualSAB]

Perhaps, but with the cost, will not be that common.

[@Orodreth888]

I actually would use this trait for lazy tanking. But it's not a zen store ship. *sad noises*

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, I could see the trait being quite useful on some builds. But the cost means it is yet another trait that few will ever use.

[@darthdragonborn1076]

The console looks nice but ultimately its not worth spending 200 dollars.

[@RFA_The-DuDe]

To me, its basically the Buran, with a slightly different layout and less hull.. It even looks like it... I think i'm going to skip this one. Besides, even if it was buy-able in the store, i couldn't buy it. Because i cant buy anything in the store anymore, and i am a lifetime sub. But Cryptic hasn't felt the need to solve my issue. My appreciation for them has pretty much tanked the last 6 months. And since i spend thousands on this game, i feel pretty much hard done by. I got like 20-25 ships, none of which really suit my needs. I am currently flying the Fleet Gagarin miracle worker Battle-cruiser, and it comes close.. but even that doesn't tingle my fancy. The IKS tactical miracle worker cruiser comes really close, although it turns like a brick in quicksand, even with an RCS, and i find it ugly, and flying a Klingon ship as a Fed, doesn't feel right. So, all in all, if this trend continues, i am going to dump STO just as hard as i did ESO before that... and i wont need any ship at all anymore. Get my drift ?.. Oh, nice video, thanks for telling me what i shouldn't buy, if i could buy anything at all.

[@Samuraith2077]

Well if that price is anywhere near that much on PC Spencer I will be passing on it til next year a billion for one ship to me is astronomical and we'll over priced my opinion though.

[@ColdNapalm42]

WHY THE HELL IS THIS SHIP A PROMO SHIP? It's a canon feddie bear ship, this should 100% be a c-store ship.

[@r4plez]

ship is decent if you try hard, but console and trait is garbage - will love to see those buy orders and disappointments

[@actzaku7106]

The meh is real with this one. Looks like a generic Cstore ship.

[@sigmaelite40]

Your looking at you previous builds come up with something new

[@CasualSAB]

I was comparing it to a ship that has a very similar setup. And I'm curious what type of build you would like me to put on it?
