Thunderchild feedback thread?

edited October 2011 in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
I would like to say one issue with this ship.

I love strong powers, and intend to get the thunderchild when it goes live, however it seems that the point defence system is overpowered. In the cure I was the only one protecting the Klang at the time. There were 6 klingon ships attacking. I was overwhelemd so I activated all my damage buffs, and then activated the point deffence system. Within 10 seconds all the Klingon ships were dust. I am speced into phasers, (not sure if that matters).

This is a really powerful reapon for not taking a weapon slot.

    it is supremely powerful against frigates and probably needs to be toned down a little bit.

    What isn't? It might be too strong against non-frigates too. :)

    I'm spec'd into phasers and cannons and I think that may pump it up as well. I've set it off within range of frigates and they got hit pretty hard, but they weren't killed outright. It was more like a high-powered scatter volley.
    Given the range limitations I think the damage is about right. Maybe tune it down slightly for frigates, but not much.

    I am under the impression that the Thunderchild is already on Holodeck. It was tested on Redshirt a few weeks ago and released two weeks ago to Holodeck. The feedback topic for that ship was on the Redshirt General forums.

    Well it doesn't seem to overpowered to me, I have no points in phasers or cannons at the moment, but to me, the cooldown is too long and the opportunities to use it are few. I haven't gotten to the Romulan Sector episodes yet but about the only thing it seems useful to me for is to destroy those pesky High Yield Plasma torpedos x3 the Romulans throw at you after they tractor you.

    I have another question, have you tried it out on "Elite"? Somehow I get the feeling if you were doing the Cure on Elite, you might be saying how useless the turret is instead. I don't know though. :rolleyes: You may have been on Elite. :D

    But to me personally, the powere level seems cool, it just needs a shorter cooldown, I guess you might not agree if you think its already overpowered though. :p

    No this weapon kicks, I've used it on holodeck and on trible, on trible to test my defiants fire power between
    Anti bor phaser cannons and the point defense turret, I cleared space part of the return on elite in 60 seconds from time entered instance, saved pdt for the cube.
    Also on trible on a red alert, 5 defiants all with anti Borg cannons and pdt's we took out command ship under 2 minutes.
