Regent (Sovereign Refit)
First the Atrox Carrier. Then the Escort-Carrier. Now the Regent.
What does any KDF paying customers get = zero. Little surprise there. Remind me again why I have a subscription as a KDF-only player?
I do not like feds. I hate Y.M.C.A music.
Comments
Not sure really of anything anymore.
Just sayin.
They want, they get it and pay much in C-Store for that.
That's Cryptics business motto. STO is going down hill really fast.
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
We knew this was comming becuase the feds have constantly cried for more ships to be added for them even when they had a plethora of already existing ship choices.
We knew this was comming becuase the Devs themselves have told us, KDF fans, that they where gonna milk the feds as much as possible becuase we (KDF) are just not enough to be concerned with in comparison.
Why is any KDF fans surprised that the Devs kept that promise?
Cryptic obviously needs the revenue, even for being the top PWE performer, and they (Devs) are gonna milk the feds until they run dry or the game dies, which ever comes first.
Only then wil, they come to us (KDF) looking for more revenue to buff thier pockets or create the RSE looking for more revenue to capitalize on the feeding frenzy such would bring for the short term.
Our being upset does nothing but give those feds that hate us fuel to point fingers and say, " Look at the whiny Klingons" and more excuses for the Devs to overlook us as a fanbase that will never be happy in thier eyes.
Do not give them the satisfaction. Instead kill them in the PvP fields and listen to their cries from Grethor and let Cryptic milk thier own game to death.
R.I.P
We know the ship artists get a kick out of designing KDF ships because they can do pretty much whatever they want. That gives me hope to see more.
Heck, the KDF got a couple of those +1 ships just because a ship designer was working on KDF ships on his own time, if memory serves me right.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but I am cautiously optimistic that we will see more KDF ships.

However, I have to admit, that while developing to the player base has merits, the amount of development focus on the Federation Faction is getting to be a bit much.
Am I correct in saying that the last 3 faction specific ships have been Fed Ships as the OP indicates?
I have read, with interest, many of the Klingon Faction's requests... while I don't agree with some, and some I do think are whining (not much different than the Fed players IMHO)... There are others I find to be well thought out, and reasonable.
Three I whole heatedly support;
1. Please finish the Klingon Faction. Allow those who choose to play exclusively Klingon (Level 1 to 50) to do so. Develop the character, and back-story (Personally, I would play KDF if there was more back-story)
2. Please release new (not reskinned) ships for the KDF (I believe the two most requested are an Escort Carrier (personally, I don't see canon support for these on either faction, but good for one is good for the other), and a true Science ship).
3. (Not exclusively a Klingon request) Revamp PVP. Provide mission style maps that allow for PVP (If we are at war, then let us be at war). Allow Fleet Defense (both sides) to have to defend their starbases from an attack by actual players. Allow convoy protection maps. Each of the new fleet events could be made to be PVP style maps... with mission objectives (other than simple kills).
These things can be added, add value to gameplay experience for all players.
As a fed player, I see value to the entire player base, and PWE for doing these things. Nothing will harm the game by having a fully developed second faction. If anything, I think this will only improve the game, attract new players, and open additional avenues for content (see PVP request).
Just my 2 cents...
Star Trek Online, Now with out the Trek....
Just my thoughts.
Well spoken johnny111971. I wish there would be more Federation players around like you
For the record, I mainly play Fed and I agree with Johnny.
A full, or more complete, KDF and PvP experience will enrich the game, not hurt it. Even if I only rarely play KDF or PvP myself. Anything that appeals to different play styles will attract new players (and might convince former players to come back). Any new missions that add to the overall STO storyline increase the immersion for everybody.

All I need to say is read Roach's post- why would this thred even exist? Its not like its a big surprize - they said over and over - Fed ship after Fed ship for the forseeable future
Don't you guys remember my "no more c-store KDF ships" thread
I can't believe this is a shocker - and wait for it - there will be 1 more Fed ship in time for Christmas - and wait more - no KDF ship
Its not really a shocker, just annoying.
It's not going downhill it has hit rock bottom

other than this I don't see any reason to buy this ship
What?, hope thats totally a rumor and nothing else because a cruiser with battle cloack is kind of OP tbh and specially transphasic ****, just think about it, you want to kill the thing she does a evasive, cloack and your HYIII fails, the most hated situation with a BoP solved by the feds with a digital pencil stroke.
That just doesn't belong on a Fed ship.
That doesn't even work for a BoP. Invincible Battle Cloak really.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
They got it working on the Entrprise - D to get out of the asteroid the Romulans had trapped them in.
It was an experimental device that was being developed in secret when Riker was onboard the ship carrying it. He was a Lt and there was a mutany against the captain and an accident happend and the ship phased and then floated in space until it de-phased inside the asteroid. In the end Captian Picard said they would inform the Romulans about it as it violated the treaty with them
But now there is not Romulan star empire -actually in game the Feds are fighting the Romulans and the Klingons
But the Device is real and is canon - not some made up thing - as it appeared in TNG
Sriously though there is only one reason that they would make this device availible - to completely finish off the KDF - except for a few die-hard - so I don't think you will see it soon. But if you do it means only 1 thing they intend to remove the KDF from the game
Rumor has it also that there will be World Peace tomorrow. True story.
That will be a real bummer for the US military industrial complex as the largest weapons suppler to the world
whats really funny is that the top 5 weopans dealers to the world are the 5 permanent members of the UN security council- US, Russia,China,France,Britain
World Peace would be against the United Nations best interests
"Lord of War" with Nicolas Cage is based on a real guy and is an amazing and eye opening movie
Another great post full of inspiration content. Roach is right, we knew it was coming, all I can say is I hope the Federation fan base enjoys it. I really don't see what is so good about the Sovereign, I prefer the Excelsior, Intrepid and Galaxy more.
Now the Federation has gotten three ships in a row, how about us KDFers get one, I'd like to see a Lethean Cruiser, kind of tired of all these carriers to be honest, the game is flooded with them.
Thank you for this post, I too think a fully developed KDF faction will bring in more players and more money for PWE/Cryptic. Then they can do the Romulan and True Way faction and take their time with it, or just stick with two factions and develop them equally.
A phase cloak, the Federation really shouldn't have any cloaks, a phase cloak is a joke. I hope it's just a rumour, but so was the Ferengi and Tholian themed lock boxes and look what we got. Cryptic might have a leak, better call a plummer Dev's. :P
I think the idea of a phase clock - like the one in TNG(so it is canon) was floated because there was a LOT of people posting comments on the thread and blog post that they don't like the look of the new Regent - like a Sov with and Oddy stuck on the back. I hate the look - so if you are Cryptic/pwe you must be thinking now that sales will suck. If they added a Phased battle cloak as the console - that ship - despite its ugly look - would sell better than the Oddy did.
Next will probably be the Ambassador or yet another kind of carrier. I don't care for any of them but Cryptic is going to sell what the people want. I'd love a real science ship (how about the Vesta?) or some kind of mean KDF escort, but let's be honest here, it's going to be Fed cruisers and carriers down the line well into the foreseeable future.

Yeah I too thought it was poorly designed, it fits with the Oddy look which could have been their intention. But the results are the same, a dislike of the design. But again it's only one skin, I didn't like the look of the Escort Carrier or the Attrox either. I think the designes have been pretty poor since F2P with the Bortas being the exception in my opinion.
Back to the Regent I would think a different console would be better, as while in PvE it wouldn't affect gameplay in PvP it would. I do know a lot of Federation players are disappointed that there aren't many KDF players who play PvP, but with possible/new consoles like this coming out it would make the situation worse I think. Lets just all hope it's just rumour.
as it is - short of a super console I expect the Regent sales to bomb
First an Invincible Battle Cloak is so insanely overpowered it's not funny. Or do you think a 15s uptime and 3min cooldown are what you want in a Battle Cloak? Oh and I pulled the stats from the Ablative Armour console.
Second, The Treaty of Algernon was resigned by the current president of the Federation according to this game and that their devotion to peace will exclude them from designing, researching or implementing Cloaking devices. You got the Dreadnought and Defiant R your not getting more Cloaks. Also CBS have said no Federation Battle Cloaks.
Thirdly going by my second point there should be no cloaking ships at all on the federation side if you want to go with a Canon approach.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I highly doubt your getting another cloaking ship.
As for what it should be, either something to help you tank or something to help put the assault back in Assault Cruiser
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
This makes no sense at all - there are like 10 mission where the Romulans are blowing up fed ships - and in 2 quadrents all the enemy ship flying around are Romulans who will attack the feds - how can there be a tready in the game between the Fed and Romulans who are fighting?
All treaties are treaties, but not all treaties are peace treaties.
A treaty is essentially an agreed-upon set of terms for two powers to do, and not do certain things. A good example in our world is how most world powers abide by various treaties in the dealing and usage of nuclear weaponry.
A similar thing applies with the Treaty of Algeron. The Federation agreed (more or less), to not field, research, etc the usage of cloaking devices. In turn, the Romulans agreed...to something else, I dunno what.
About Romulans attacking the Federation, the Star Empire has been in upheaval ever since the Hobus Supernova, so treaty or not, there's a lot of Romulans out there (such as Nero), who don't care about such things, and will attack anyways.
Anyways, I don't really care too much about any fancy new consoles this ship might come with. If I feel it's worth it, I'll buy it. I kinda like the design IMHO, so I might keep it. I've always been a fan of cruisers, but I am not gonna consider it 'mandatory to have'. If anything, the only ship I'm calling for is a fleet Excelsior.
1. It would allow the Feds to develop Cloaking after their treaty is breached - so they can stop whining.
2. Because the above would likely result in their cloaking console being stripped of its ship limitations, most of our ships would likely receive an additional console slot and a (free) cloak console... that I can then remove and drop something more useful in (I barely cloak now a days)
3. This game simply would not survive a 3rd Faction. Bringing Romulans exclusively into the Redside would strengthen us enough to actually matter to the devs.
4. They can have Cardies or something, but no new content, just a new race they can roll.

Making up rumors and can't even get what little facts you have straight. Riker was a ensign, plus there still is a Romulan Empire. Always seem to be trying to cause a rift between feds and kdf.
