I'm not ready yet to write a long winded feedback post (if I do), but something is not sitting right with me.
I've started hunting for fleets for True Originem a while ago. I must have destroyed about 6-8 fleets now (those Brain ships are a pain in the ass). The rewards varied, but I got what I believed to be most of the pool. Blueprints for all 3 Prime ships and two uniques, the Oppenheimer and the Franklin. Since my flagship was the Scholar cruiser (though I used a Doctor to kill those fleets) I was very interested in its Prime version or the Franklin. The latter came much earlier, (was my 4th quest or so) and it was a huge upgrade from my Scholar. But the Prime Scholar took a while, it was 3m+ investment at least (actually more because I went for the Prime White Wolf first) and it took a lot of fights to get it.
After all that though what I've started to fear was true, the Prime ship is actually inferior to the Franklin. Sure it has small universals that allows for missiles and it is overall the fastest of the three, but it loses the Phase Skimmer that the Franklin has and the torpedo charges are greatly reduced. All stats sans for OP and speed are reduced and it doesn't have all the innate hullmods that the Franklin has. I mean sure, it is still an incredibly good ship, but I don't see the point of going through all the effort of acquiring all the parts when I can just easily settle for the Franklin.
Now what I'm looking for is the Originem ship, is that a quest too?
