Any way to get a weapon slot onto the vo or apnex?

I was just thinking about putting the beams or pulse from the Haakona onto them to make them worth taking and giving them real teeth for their size. But want to do it for a reasonable cost pts wise as well.

1 pt for Parhem 3 pts for weapons officer resource for a 4 point weapon slot. If you have the Rav Larest pay 5 pts for Cold Storage and get 2 weapon slots. Sakonna for 3 points and get -2 on the weapon, she has pointy ears so she could easily be a Romulan in disguise.

However try to keep the total points cost in mind.

12 Science vessel
03 Sakonna
03 Disruptor Beams

18 pts This is the cheapest option. Not bad, but only 2 hull away from death

12 Science Vessel
01 Parhem
03 Weapons Officer
05 Disruptor Beams

21 pts total, getting pricey for 2 hull

12 Science Vessel
05 Cold storage
05 Disruptor Beams

22 pts, not really worth it in my opinion

how about

16 Romulan BoP
05 Disruptor Beams

21 pts Yes 3 more points than the Sakonna option but it buys you an extra hull and a better value than the other 2 options.

I guess it's the obvious and sensible solution. I was just pondering the cheaper ship with the white come about... ah well.

And Sarkonna is great (and hot), but I'm not allowed any vulcans in my fleet, wife has vetoed that idea...

We if you can't use other factions then you are limited to the Weapon officer resource or fleet captain or flagship. Though I wouldn't spend the points to for the fleet captain or flagship on one of those tiny ships.

Was intending to put either or both on the Haakona, tbh. Or the Valdore, to get some form of tech slot onto that sexy ship.




I guess I was just looking for a way to take either of the tiny ships along for the ride, but they, like the praetus, seem doomed to remain purchases for cards only.

The Praetus can be a tough little ship. It's cheap and armed with disruptor beams, additional weapons array, photons it can be a nice support ship. The science vessel can make a great harasser, but you do have to go out of faction for most of the tech to make it work. The ferengi EM Pulse is the best for them. I made a guy rage quit an OP once using two such science vessels dealing out 2 aux tokens a turn. The dominion/klingon EM pulse can also work for them as well.

I made a decent weaponised science/scout once using flagship.

The scout can get to 8 defence dice (9 at range 3) and with an interphase for protection. The science ship can further take Varel.

Pulse is awesome if facing fighter squadrons.
