Any update on how KDF will get 'Pengs yet?

Come on Cryptic, you could've easily worked them in as a mission reward elsewhere just as a stop gap to even things up by now. There are no excuses for not having done this. Just add it as one of the rewards for the early KDF missions already as a temporary measure until it's worked in "properly" so that we've got equal access. We know you can tweak rewards as the FE reruns prove.

They were able to get the freighter thingy in, so I guess just adding the peng peng to one of the already existing missions can´t be that hard.
I'd totally forgotten that. Yet another good reason.
who the hell wants a silly rock pet anyway, anyone else remember the rock pet gimmick back in.. what was it the early 80s? LOL
I'm SO not going to say what I really want to...
Have they actually said it's off the table?
what you should ask is have that actually said it was, just look how long its taken them to supposidly get our game to the same level of feds as it was suppossed tobe unpon release but they ran out of time, im sure this games nearly been out 2 years, other game companys can update a game and create an expantion in that time.
They did mention that they planned to put it in last time there was a thread like this, though that's about all they mentioned. Nothing on how or when. And no justification as to why there isn't a stop gap like putting it as a reward for an existing mission (changing mission rewards must be pretty routine after the FE reruns) as has been suggested by my self and others. There hasn't even been an explaination for why one faction got a new weapon and another didn't. Considering the initial outrage over this, I'm suprised that at the very least we haven't heard something official, that is, something of substance official.
I'd guess that they're saving it as a reward for when they do a Klingon version of the Doomsday mission.
We might see the actual Doomsday before a KDF Doomsday mission.....just saying.
Yeah, but they know how much work they have on their schedule, and not putting a "stop gap" measure in place just strikes me as thoughtless.
Well I guess the HarPengh is not that OP after all. It only has a 360 degree firing arc, and a secondary effect that damages the hull directly bypassing shields. Takes less skill points than any other torpedo weapon and just about every Fed player in PvP now uses it attesting to just how good it is. Its been out now for all most two months and no nerf in sight nor word on giving it to the KDF. I can only imagine the outcry if this had been a KDF only weapon.
This gives me an idea can the KDF get some new exclusive ship armor that will give 100% resistance to all torpedo weapons and their secondary effects?
Perhaps you could expand on this, becasue it doesn't make sense as is.
The Devs have said that Klingons will get Har'Peng torpedoes at some point. I think the last word on it from a Dev is that they will be attached to a mission at some point, but they will likely appear first in the DOff system.
Also, they aren't getting rid of the B'Rel. Heretic said that it is on the schedule to be adjusted much like carriers are now.
Oh we'll get 'Pengs....
when dogs grow wings...
But I can't help if I...
Still dream time to time...
Give the peng to Klingons? you gotta be kidding then the feds won't have their unfair advantage anymore that they can exploit like they do and they will start crying they are being mistreated and then Cryptic will give in and nerf something else on the Klingon side. face it we KDF are the red headed stepchildren of STO.
I've posted on the idea of the B'rel being the sticking point for KDF 'pengs in another thread. It basicly goes like this:
B'rel can fire torpedos without decloaking for more than a very short window.
An all torpedo B'rel could divert all power to just Aux and Engines, thus being very agile and having max power for sci abilities.
The Hargh'Peng's proc is capable of doing direct to hull damage to shielded targets.
The ammount of 'pengs potentially loaded on a B'rel could far outstrip the hazard emitter capability of most ships it's likely to face, and with the ability to fire every three seconds, this would get... nasty.
In short, an all Hargh'Peng weapons loadout on the B'rel would be game breaking. However, if Cryptic made the Hargh'Peng either unique, or gave it a global cooldown half of the individual cooldown like Tricobalts, you'd make it far more balanced and less spammable.
These suggestions surface quite often, and yet we still get no word from Cryptic as to wether these changes will happen, are even being taken on board, or even getting read by the devs. It's a sad state of affairs, the general response on the topic seems to be along the lines of "shut up, you'll get them when you get them".
Well, I think it all boils down to faction diversity. Maybe instead of asking for what the Federation has just because the Federation has it, you can think of your own, Klingon specific idea for a special weapon?
Wasn't there some special torpedo that the Klingons developed?
Yeah... I think they called it a Har'peng or sumthin like that.
Sorry, sorry I could not help it!
Yeah, the 'Pengs. :eek:
I think the KDF (if the Feds have our 'Pengs) should get 'Genesis Torpedoes'... In addition to the same burst damage/HoT as the 'Pengs, we should also be able to use them to create new KDF content, via new planets to explore... LOL
LOL Snap!

I think GreatBriton got chocolate in Jermbot's peanut butter. Either way, and aside form my being a jackass earlier, I think these are good ideas that together provide a nice out for the Dev team.
Okay, same for Carriers.
Genesis Torpedoes, I like it! Now we just need a mechanic that balances better with B'Rels and we're in business!
