There is a thread asking "when will this happen?" well just in case you haven't read that one I thought I'd just put this up in here too. Coming to tribble then will hit holodeck on Thurs it seems. We're getting the flanking bonus plus 10% hull increase.
Thank you jebus & thank you Cryptic. Now we can finally get our sexy model quality joined Trill wives into Stovokor at last! To glorious battle!

Another epic fail on Cryptic's behalf. They need an extra 10K hull not 10%
it's better then a 0% hull increase. it'll buy a second or two.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
No, that will not buy a second. That might slightly improve the chance that one torpedo does not instant hit, that's all.
I can avoid torps oneshoting me now, it's generally the 2nd one after a beam kills my shields and I'm trying to cloak that gets me... and I suck. I'm sure a skilled player can turn a few k more hull into a second or two... hell I'm sure I could with a little luck I could. of course I put alot of points in increasing my hull maybe you don't?

B'rel needs to be able to fire without dropping cloak is what it needs. Make this ship true to lore.
ahh, that little console saved me quite a few times. that be nice but feds have problems with cloaks as is they'd get it changed back in no time at all, or nerfed in some other way the could be even worse.

In my recloaking sequence I generally use Brace for Impact (hull resist), Evasives (+def, +turn and speed) and Hazard Emitters (hull resist and hull heal over time, offsetting some incoming hits and clearing plasma fires), just before hitting cloak. Particularly hitting HE just before cloaking is important, as it gives you heals at a time where you're very vulnerable and can't activate new heals.
I sometimes add the KHG 3-piece (extra +def), polarise hull (hull resist and tractor/gw immunity), Aux2SIF (hull heal and resist) doffed Aux2Damp (hull resist, +speed, CC resist) and/or APO (speed, tractor immunity, +def, +turn), depending on my build.
Here is the raider related part in full, I'm liking the idea of better Ambush damage, stacking with flanking - these ships are going to really hurt on the Alpha run
A well-built one already does. This is just icing on the cake
Lore had the brel fire a torpedo, not an energy weapon
No kidding, bro. Where did I mention energy weapons?
Our brel doesn't even fire torpedoes while cloaked. It decloaks and then recloaks. It should resembled cloaked barrage, but with torpedoes, but it doesn't.
If memory serves me, it used to be that way, long ago. It would not decloak upon firing and such, but was apparently changed for 'balance' or something like that.
That said, I think it might be worth considering going back to that for two reasons:
1. In PvE, NPCs have never followed the same rules as players in regards to perception/stealth. Constantly decloaking really doesn't help since NPCs basically always tend to instantly fire at you when you decloak because they always can sorta detect you.
2. In PvP, it's gotten extremely easy to detect cloakers without much trouble if you know what you are doing, so the whole 'decloak to fire' thing really acts as much more of a liability, and if anything makes you a much more obvious target over any kind of 'hiding'.
and a 10% hull buff isn't much on a small hull

John May Lives - Sci - Hobo
That wouldn't be really different from what we have now, but would at least be better from an immersion/lore standpoint. I wouldn't want to be ghosted for the full time we have right now though, because why bother changing it in that case.
Yeah, I agree. Seeing the ship 'ghosted' in that 3 second automatic gap between firing torpedoes and using science skills from cloak would make it look more apropriate. It wouldn't change anything gameplay-wise, but it'd be a nice cosmetic touch.

Too bad it is ugly as sin.
Who cares about the appearance as long as it works as intended
You are not going to parade your ship in some beauty contest, are you?

Besides, B'rel is the prettiest ship
True that.
The ship was visible for a second in ST6 too.
Also it could only fire one torpedo at a time, no HY, Spread, GV or anything....
That Torpedos did hurt a lot more though....
I do. I fact I choose my ships by the looks only and make them work as good as I can then.
And I'm certainly not alone on that...
The darn Mirror thing is so cloak-unfriendly, I have to run my Hegh'ta more than I usually do
IKS Korrasami (Fleet B'rel Bird of Prey Retrofit T5-U)
True, but it didn't straight up drop cloak for 3 seconds. I would be totally, completely fine with the front of my ship becoming visible for a second when I fired a torpedo.

Yes, I'm sure I'm not dreaming.
