They got what they BEGGED for, much like a screaming 5yr old in a shopping mall or toy store.

It'll set em back $25 and they will buy it. It's a nice ship but not a game-breaker. They have a cute selection of ships, we have a SOLID collection of ships, the only thing I really want for the KDF is some new skins for our ships and maybe salvage shuttle like the Yosemite.

More spam. Yum.
The only real draw of the (Naomi) Armitage Battle Carrier is the Photon Torpedo Point Defense Console.
The big question now will be how long before Cryptic adds the 2nd Hanger Bay to the new Fed toy?
I may pick this thing up for my Fed Alts but not any time soon.
Mark my words it wont be long before the cries of we need a 2nd Hanger to keep up with the KarFi are heard from Sol to the far reaches of the Gamma Quadrant.
Im hoping that my VoQuv will see some love in the form of a +1 Variant or at least give it some new skins and its own special console.
Ive been begging for a Raptor Hanger support craft since day 1 for the VoQuv.
You figure it the VoQuv can support up to 12 Fighters and 4 Bird of Prey it should at least be able to support 2 Raptors :mad:
Does it surprise you? The Feds whine, Cryptic caves in.
I'm a HUGE fan of the KDF. My main is KDF. When ever I get a chance top push for anything KDF....believe me I WILL !!
I'd like to see either a +1 VoQuv, +1 Kar'Fi, or a +1 Marauder. And since it seems that it'd be the only way, let whatever new ship come with a NEW KDF SHUTTLE.
Like 2 LG level Raptors?
Like 2 LG level Battle Cruisers?
That's good to hear. Perhaps you can shed some light on the news from then-EP Stephen D'Angelo dated December 20, 2011 about the upcoming ships:
Every single ship on that chart is now in-game, except those 3 KDF Tier 5 refits. Are these still being planned?
Wow.... for a moment it felt like Logan was back. he sang that song last year too. It is a good tune, but always ends the same way.
P.S With Costumes, I mean for Special Buyable ones. Even without counting those... federation has more.
BTW: If akwardly I meet a KDF online, im Ela'kshish (NOT full name)
As I recall Logan also delivered. ALL the new KDF ships that came in were because of his push for them. That's 18 ships and 1 costume we got because of HIS efforts. What he got for his efforts was KDF whining about what the designs looked like and how it wasn't enough. Speaking of whining, I'm amused by the redundancy of KDF whining about Feds whining.
Like it or not, the fact is the focus of the game is FED because the majority of players are FED. The devs have to put focus on what will bring the most $ in and lets face it, a ship feds have been screaming for will bring far more $ in than a new KDF ship.
Yes.. you love the KDF.. but the question is.. do you also PVP? Because we all know the KDF is PVP capital
My Battlecruiser design is available, up to you guys at cryptic.
I beg you to use what influence you have, to push for:
- More skins for T5 kdf ships
- More BoP/Raptor T5 types
KDF is supposed to be the faction for hard hitting attack ships, and we have less than the federation to choose from...
Honestly, when it comes to MMO pvp ( any mmo game) I have never been a huge fan. I love story driven content. I'd rather be immersed in the game rather than see whose guns are bigger.
I hope that shirt you are wearing is flame-retardant. You just said something people are not going to like.
*grabs marshmallows*
see its because of the devs pvp is so bad atm. this post is proof of it, and the new ship and all the consoles we have out there are proof.. its actually very sad since sto pvp is is the best system from everything ive read about mmo pvp. why do we need such op ships and consoles? you can lol kill every npc there is with out the use of bo powers.
ide really love for the pve system to actually get better. by that i mean give the npc some resist and the will to actually fight and try to stay alieve like a real player would do. you say you love story driven content, but why do the npc have to seem like a choir to fight? least if they semi acted like real people it could be fun. take the stf, extra hp sheilds and harder hits. you know their next move before they even do. just give them player resist and make them use powers taht real players would do. make them cross heal use rsp anything besides a half dead spear using emergency power to engines to come at me or run away. make players use actaully skill and think about the next move. every stf map is the same. you know your next 30 moves like clock work. you know what the borg will do before they actually know and do it.
I agree!! I'm glad that there are devs that are willing to openly state that they prefer immersion in good stories to pew pew. I find this very heartening!
Adding you to my list of cool devs. :cool:

P.S. You need a catchier name....
Miller makes ships. His lack of interest in PvP has absolutely no bearing on the state of PvP in STO. Any thoughts to the contrary are just plain naive.
You obviously haven't done any elite STF's if you think you can "lol kill without boff powers". I dare you to survive against a Tactical Cube on elite without using any boff powers (or being healed by your teammates).
Surfer speaks the truth. Blaming an artist for bad content is like blaming the President's maid for the bad economy. (a bit of a stretch, but the analogy holds true anyway)
So...do you play STO? Have you reached max level? What do you do then?
Your work is awesome.
He just said something that the proportionally insignificant players that actually PvP here care about.

*slowly zips back up*

sorry but i have to call bs on this. ships can effect pvp. just look at the fed carrier, the jem and the glador and dokora. and clearly this ship is the most op comming to pvp. awesome just what we all need. all tacts in the cat box are doing it wrong. but this ship......... epts 1 rsp epts3 or epts 1 epts 2 and dem 2. going to be awesomely op in pvp trust me.
and dont forget to use a mk12 purple rcs
not to double post or anything but you can beat an elite stf in t1 ships.
Amen!
But Cryptic hasn't had a good track record of delivering a steady stream of either recently.
Speaking of whining, I'm amused by the redundancy of Fed whining about KDF voicing legitimate complaints.
If I'm not mistaken CaptainGeko still controls what ships DO. Miller creates a model and a costume that has little to no bearing on pvp.
