Kind of disappointment and turn off if they can't cloak at all
How much of a reduction of shields and hull do you suggest they get in return for an innate cloak to keep them balanced vs. the Fed versions?
Part of the uniqueness of the KDF is having cloaks on ships of that size or smaller... no reduction is neccessary feds get their advantages and KDF should get theirs although this ship is escaping that functionality.
And the KDF has them on current KDF ships, which this is technically not (this ship is from the future, we can assume they have klingons we don't know if they still use cloaks or if they are still the KDF).
All KDF ships like the Raptor and BoP, etc already do in fact have reduced hulls or shield mods or both due to the advantage of having an innate cloak.
So what advantage would you give the Wells & Mobius to compensate a new advantage, seeing as both faction's time ships are currently perfectly balanced vs. each other?
in ds9 they tried taking cloaking tech back to the other universe and it wouldn't work properly. so maybe it don't. it's not something at that time they was capable of inventing?? so maybe they still can't
I don't think you understand nor do you know anything about the KDF LOL... I never said an Innate cloak I just said to have a standard cloaking device like the battle cruisers have... If you want your nerf in exchange it already is missing one weapon slot in the rear that most Heavy Battle Cruisers usually have.
Oh yeah also explain why this not being able to have cloaking devices in mirror universes or what not is not a contradiction when the qin mirror raptor has one? Also BTW the Heavy Battle Cruisers have the same amount of hull as counter parts that the federation has and the bops and raptor have lower hull due to their lower size which has nothing to do at all with the fact that they have cloaking devices.
That is the very definition of "an innate cloak".
One that is not a console, like the Defiant and Gal-X get, rather one that is built innately into the ship's abilities.
I hope that's clearer for you this time.
The Krenn is a Destroyer, like the Guramba and Fleet Scourge - analogous to escorts. None of those ships have 8 weapon slots, and that's why this one doesn't either.
The Korath is a Science Vessel.
The Qin mirror Raptor is not from the future.
They also have lower shield mods.
Is that due to their size too?
I'm willing to go out on a limb and say those things were implemented for balance purposes.
TBH I haven't really heard anything from you that has any evidence of why the $250 dollar lobi/lockbox ships that are KDF shouldn't have their perks of a cloaking device.
A lot of the problems trying to contest the notion are coming from contradictions and pure lack of knowledge of how the KDF exists.
If you have any factual information to provide I am all ears... or eyes.
The ships for both factions are identical, this is balance.
Or if you want a nice RP in-universe reason:
In at least one version of the 26th century, the Klingon Empire and races such as the Ithenites, and Xindi, joined the Federation. In the 2550s of this timeline, the Federation proved instrumental in halting an invasion of the galaxy by a power known as the Sphere Builders. This action caused the Sphere Builders to try to stop the Federation from ever being formed by manipulating the Xindi into attempting to destroy Earth in 2153.

Well pretty much its safe to say that anything I say which is from actual knowledge of how the game actually works is going to be debated by untruthful information, contradictions, or information that does not even pertain to the issue.
There are many KDF ships with cloaking devices that are an exact rehashed/copy and pasted version of federation ships which pretty much lays down a majority of your theories to bed. With your mentality you would them remove cloaking devices from these classes of ships because your view is that it isn't balanced if say these KDF ships had a cloaking device.
In conclusion if you want to remain ignorant that is your problem not mine
Name 3, provide stats.
Rest in Peace Brothers

I think it's for the best. If I'd actually gotten a time ship, it would only have made me enjoy the game more and who wants that? No, better that the hard earned cash I put into the game gives me rubbish I don't want or need so that I can spend my spare time musing on the inherent unfairness of the universe and the futility of pleasure in a world where only death is certain.
