Becuase of battle Cloak I would think. Unless thats a typo.....
Yeah, I think that's what it comes down to, I had to do several takes there but the battle cloak does give some defensive benefit and I guess the shield reduction is to balance that out.
Love the stats. Hate the 4-nacelles. With the fury of a thousand suns, hate the 4-nacelles.
If you could take those stats, put it into a ship that looks more like a Sovereign or Excelsior (but smaller) and put that to the C-Store, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Was considering a LTS till I saw the 4-nacelles. :gag:

People can say what they will but for a KDF player needing about 399 days to go to get this I will be dreaming of this for a lil over a year before i hit my 1000th day LOL. That KDF one is awesome its a sooped up raptor with a battle cloak which is awesome. Wish a year and few months would fly by now rofl
Anyways good job on it Cryptic I'll be looking forward to the day I can get it unlocked. Would be nice if having an LTS would automatically let you pick it up though
What, so I've been a lifetime member from the beginning, and now some new lifetime member can get all the rewards right away that I earned over time? ... Works for me! That should bring in more lifetimers, and more cash for the game. I like it.
My KDF Tactical is drooling over the Peghqu'. That old Qin Raptor feels a little underclassed these days, and it will be nice to upgrade to a VA ship. At least one of my Federation characters will be using the new Chimera, I'm just not sure which one yet.

You'll get it tomorrow after the maintenance. LTS will then count as 1000 Days immediately.
Yeah I just went to check to see what the other thing I was I saw before clicking... I was like WHOA Cryptic must have added a temporal incursion genie to grant my wish before I made it! ROFLMAO.
Is the fact it only has +5 innate power settings where every other ship has at least +15?
Or the fact that it only has 9 console slots even if you remove its special ability console?
How about the fact that you trade 2 turn rate and 15 weapon power for a measly 4k hull and 1 extra device slot compared to the old T5 Patrol escort?
Was this ship, that is inferior to almost every fleet ship / z-store ship / lockbox ship, supposed to be further proof that veterans are less important than people forking out loads of money?

Actually, it was MY wish that was granted -- Now I hope they grant the other one.
What can I say, I'm greedy. :cool:

Peghqu' Heavy Destroyer ... by the mighty Kahless!!! :eek: That ship combines the flavours of a raptor and bird of prey and it looks sexy! I can't wait to fly it with my Klingon general, only 6 more days to go for me! :D:D
hmmm...a Phaser/Disruptor Lance Beam Fire at Will (FTW) and a on the KDF a battle cloak *drool*. The 9 consoles is underwhelming and don't forget that it does have a Universal-console (considering Lockbox and Fleet ships). I can deal with the shields and hull. How about a additional Universal Console slot?
If it were a "Perfect World" the Lt. Science and Ensign Universal would be switched for those two additional Tac abilities, using the Lt.Cmdr. for Science anyways (Grav Well). This last part is only a I wish, those Universals give the ships real flexibility.

LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
Look, it's easy to take shots at customers who express their dissatisfaction with Cryptic. I know. Been there, done that. At the launch of this game, I was a staunch defender of Cryptic on this forum. I've retained a very pro-Cryptic position until today.
It's not an issue of entitlement for me. Early on in the game's history, I spoke out as being in favor of the liberated Borg playable option being opened up to non-lifetime subscribers. I've also gone on record as being in support of pre-order bonuses being made available through other means.
This is about a de-valuing of long-time paying supporters of this game, including those that have subscribed in other ways than the lifetime subscription. There are others who feel as I do. Their posts are showing up now too. I suppose you could marginalize us all if you really want to.
Using the word "over-entitled" was a bit harsh on my part, and a bit stereotyping, so I edited my OP. Apologies.

I don't care how long you've been playing. I only care about how you play.
And remember to follow the rules.
1 day. Every LTS now has just 1 day left to wait. Those prototypes are going to be mass produced in short order.
Setting aside the squabbling over the new lifetime subs. Normalizing the really old ones to all roll based around launch day makes a lot of sense. It seems strange to reward someone for having prepaid for a game that was going to be out in a week versus a day, since well, the game wasn't out at that point.
And people who live in areas with poor postal service being 2 days later than everyone who lives next to a distribution centre, again, not all that helpful.
It always struck me as kinda odd that I paid for my lifetime sub before the game was even officially out but someone who bothered to do that the day before me got veteran rewards before I did... as though s/he was playing before launch day. In the grand scheme of things it never really mattered, and still doesn't, but now is as good a time as any to set them all to launch day.
Was this ship, that is inferior to almost every fleet ship / z-store ship / lockbox ship, supposed to be further proof that veterans are less important than people forking out loads of money?
Also, what does it matter if someone forks out loads of money (for sub time or a LT sub) and then waits 1000 days, or someone forks out loads of money and waits 1 day? Either way, isn't someone forking out loads of money? x=x for some x in the realm or real numbers, right?

Just awful, I'm at 943 Days and happy to stick with my Fleet Tac Escort. There is not good reason to fly this if you have your Fleet Ship of choice, which is very sad. Maybe a better idea could be a 1 off free purchase of any fleet ship whether you are in a fleet or not.

I'm an Lifetime Subscriber, even through I don't show it. At first reaction I was :mad:, but after a bit of reflection, I'm :cool: OK with it.
Now pardon me while I starting making calculation for a slingshot maneuver. See ya'll in the future.
If they'd throw in a playable Romulan Warbird for those who have made it to 1000 days the hard way, I'd be ok too.
Hi Brandon. You may want to change the text found here:
As a 1000-day Veteran, Starfleet has granted you command of this unique new starship - the Prototype Heavy Destroyer: Chimera Class.
As a 1000-day Veteran, the Klingon Defense Force has granted you command of this unique new starship - the Prototype Heavy Destroyer: Peghqu' Class.
..as it's no longer accurate.

Yes, because that's the *only* reason to get a LT Sub, amirite?

Ha ha ha, no. This is going to be awesome, I always wanted a bigger ship with Combat Cloak

It's not like the Fed ship got Battlecloak. Yes, it's usually a BOP's thing, but why shouldn't a special class of ship use it?
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
The hubris of someone to think the federation would be allowed to dictate how the Klingon Empire builds their ships.
While we are it lets just remove the fed ship from the rewards... This reward should be KDF exclusive
