    I'm guessing the Bellerophon's torpedo power was not fixed. :\

    Or the broken nacelle struts.

    Can we please get the ship health bar icon in the UI for the Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit updated?

    It's still shaped like a Constitution-class ship.

    So the module only works with PHOTON torpedoes and no other type of torpedo, if I'm reading that correctly?

    Also, the whining about the KDF is uninformed. There are a ton of lower-tier ships in testing for them right now on Tribble that will be releasing before F2P just like the Fed ones.

    Its not uninformed, the fact that theres some coming (soon TM) isnt the point, they release 2 new fed and nothing for the KDF, they could just as easilly have released 1 fed and 1 KDF but as usuall for Cryptic the KDF get left behind yet again.

    Nope, sadly not. :(

    Honestly, why do we bother testing these, if you dont listen to the feeback and fix the many many problem with them ? :rolleyes:

    No thanks. I'm not going to think about buying anything from the C-store until you start actually releasing some real content.

    Awesome looking, but seriously you should've waited for the Bellerophon until you actually fixed it. Also what happened to the Raider you said you would be releasing with the Gladius?

    Why did you have to do this!!!

    I was so happy with my Intrepid. My favourite looking ship ever. I hate you Cryptic...

    *Purchases C-Store Points and a Bellerophon*

    *whispers softly* i love you Cryptic

    Makes you wonder why we spend money on broken items. If I bought a broken toy at Toys R Us or an appliance, I get a discount or a free trade in on the item. Cryptic might fix it later on down the road. :/

    You know the drill. For every three new ships, 5 new races, 25 new missions, and 10 new weapons the Federation gets, the KDF gets 1 new piece of clothing and one new NPC walking around first city.

    In a year, when the federation has the above mentioned times 4, they might give us one extra person we need to talk to for the Klingon intro tutorial when we are running around talking to everyone except the cook.

    I like the Gladius, the design looks like it bridges the gap between the Sabre and Dervish classes.

    Neither side is getting new content. There isn't any point in directing your angst against the Fed players. There hasn't been a Fed mission added since launch that wasn't also available to the KDF. At this rate it will take Cryptic 3 more years before we get 25 new missions, Fed, Romulan, KDF, and Cardassion combined.

    Maybe they should figure out a way to pull Foundry missions into the regular content so the player base can fill the content gap for them.

    The issues with the Bellerophon (bad windows, pylons, overlimited console use) were WELL documented, and you STILL pushed it onto Holodeck?!!

    Egads Cryptic.

    I like them both, though I see caveats.

    The Gladius is not rushed, but it is dated - it follows the design philosophy of the Fleet Escorts rather than the new aesthetic introduced by the Enterprise-F, which makes it a less comforming-looking vessel to what we've been used to see lately (remember, the Gladius was leaked by accident on the Foundry before the Ent-F's contest was resolved).

    One bad mark for the Gladius is how it's presently more expensive than it is presently on Tribble. If it'll stay that way, if I want it, I'll wait until F2P before buying (effectively a 50% discount).

    The Bellerophon is all kinds of awesome. But, it still needs fixes. Fortunately, that's presently being worked on over at Tribble.

    The Raider probably got held up for further polish. That's actually probably a good thing - it's around, just not ready yet. KDF players would probably otherwise have bought it and made the same gripes the Fed players have made above my post. ~_~ Ironic.

    Dont give them ideas they would prob charge c-$tore points for using there bandwidth. Hmm there you go Cryptic start charging people for downloading Foundry missions. Then charge the Creator some Dilithium for using the foundry creation tools and or cryptic point$

    Darn. I would have purchased the Bellerophon b/c ive been waiting specifically for it. However seeing as how there were 2 Fed. ships released instead of 1 fed. and 1 Klink. I will not be purchasing it. I can see a possible reason for releasing 2 fed. ships but Im so unenthused and put out I dont care to elaborate.

    Why does everyone thing the Bellerophon's console is broken? It's a PHOTONic shockwave torpedo and it only works with PHOTON torpedoes. It makes perfect sense to me.

    If it were part of an episode reward, or a crafting thing, or anything else that could be got without real money, I'd be fine with that.

    But no, it's bundled with an overpriced C-Store ship. Least you can do is let me use it with my preferred torpedo layout, since you're taking my monies for it.

    What continues to vex me is that those of us who have the retrofits already need to buy again to get the console.

    Seriously how low will this get? :(

    This. It's basically worthless since it only works with photon torpedoes.
