The VoQuvs BOP need to be looked at

Im not sure whats going on with the Deployable BOP, it seemed that with each patch on Tribble they become weaker and softer and dumber and now that the build is live on Holodeck it has become painfully apparent to me that the Carriers BOP have become nothing more than cannon fodder. (When you can get them to stay in one place)
The BOP do not seem to work with any of the Carriers commands now and generally just do their own thing once they are launched.
The BOP no longer attack stationary targets like the Gates or nodes found in STF missions. It also seems that the other deployable attack vessels have problems with this has well.
When my BOP do target a gate or other stationary targets, they tend to fly into it and try to kill it with kindness.
The AI that is being used with the BOP is a bit spotty.
When in space combat my BOP tend to jump from target to target.
Theyll fire off a couple of cannon burst and then break off the attack and circle around aimlessly until they feel like attacking again.
It also seems that with the push to holodeck the BOP dont seem to be using their Photon Torpedoes at all.
Does each deployable have their own AI that they use or is one program just used for all of them?
If I had to rate the current deployable for the Carriers on performance and functionality it would go something like this:
1st the Hull and Shield healing drones and the Energy Siphon pods I cant find anything wrong with them, they seem to function 100%
2nd All various forms of the Attack Fighters They function great with the Carriers Commands and stay on target till it or they are destroyed. (They have trouble with attacking stationary targets)
3rd The Fer'Jai Frigate- it seems to function almost has well has the fighters and has a good balance of attack and defense. (They have trouble with attacking stationary targets)
4th The BOP- Spotty response to commands, they never seem to use all the skills that they have available to them. They dont stay on the selected targets. They cut and run during combat. Their attack seems to be on par with the fighters and defensibly they seem much softer than the FerJai Frigate. They tend to scatter and not stay together like the rest of the Deployable vessels. (They have trouble with attacking stationary targets)
For a while there on tribble things were looking up for the BOP.
They did not have the best attack strength but they were quite durable and 4 of them working together with the VoQuv could get the job done most of the time.
Somehow the BOP have regressed back to the point of uselessness and it pains me because there the only deployable that I like using.
Feel free to correct me if any of the above is incorrect.
Thanks for your time

Isn't that why they have an "Execute Officer" DOFF mission, for when your crew isn't obeying your commands?
Tested this out myself to see if they were any good.
What i found out is that BOP pets were utterly useless, they output almost no damage and spent most of their time flying around in circles. AI needs a rework and torpedo bug needs to be fixed.
Switched out for fighters and got way better results, they always on target and always firing their weapons.
Looks like the BOP pet nerfs still remain from previous season, except now you have even less BOP's.
Needs a fix, but like all things KDF its likely on low priority
I also submitted a ticket, whatever that is worth :rolleyes:
BoP's just fly around cloaked, one in 3 will attack every 2 minutes, just sad. Fighters still see viable tho..
The Du Ja fighters are just too weak to be a viable replacement for the BOP.
The Kar Fi Skul are now the best option that the VoQuv has for now; however, it seems that Cryptic now has made it so that you cant buy the Skul fighters from the vendors unless you own the KarFi.
My BoP's commands are fairly useless at this point and I tend to ignore them just now and let the BoPs do what they will when they spawn ...any interference on my part tends to turn them into sheep
Do love my Vo' Quv though ...what an absolute joy they are
The VoQuv has always been my favorite of all the current in-game vessels.
For a time I supported the notion of the Federation getting some form of the Carrier but not anymore

It *might* have something to do with the pets being "universal", as in they don't need port or starbord slots any more. Oh and speaking of, can i please get the second half of the pet icon back?
Having the same icon for both deployables are confusing me...
I can conferm this. Last night my fighters bugged out and left my cheeks swinging in the breeze on twp different TFs. And the BOP is useless no mattter what.
BTW where can I get this frigate?
If you mean the Fer'Jai frigates they are Kar'Fi exclusive, so you need that ship in order to use them.
