I preordered gamestop but I'm thinking to going science.. Will I be able to run with the cruiser class ships?? If I can what will miss out on by not using a science ship?
Science ships are going to be the equivalent of a "Buffer" class.
So you will still be able to put up a fight, but your key strength lies in making cloaked ships useless and disabling their ship to such a degree that they become much less of a threat.
To flip that around, if you want to play with the rest of us that ARE going Cruisers/Escorts you'll be providing a VERY essential buff to all our ships and debuffs to the enemies we are fighting.
The "Raidisodes" that will be our 5-player-max content at the beginning will definitely require a science vessel.
Ideally the group I run with once STO comes out will be comprised of maybe 2 cruisers 2 escorts and a science vessel.
