    I'm finding it very, very funny that you can't argue against this point:



    They have completely different layout needs. You saying the "devs did this, they did that because" misses that its two incompatible modes cellotaped together. It is broken and needs to be fixed.

    Are you kidding me? You make this up, and treat it like it's gospel? That's simply your opinion.

    Most of us don't have this PvE/PvP hangup. We play the game, and take the fun wherever it is. It's just a precious few who have to change the rules rather than play by them.

    They've been talking about Territory Control for years now. It could be years more before it goes anywhere. It really just depends on how important PvP is to STO - and right now it's not that important.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Ok then. I've been testing Territory Control on the ultra-secret Red Squad server for months now. You're going to love it! :D

    I always enjoy the Kerrat zone comments like 'It took 4 of you to kill me'. As if that mattered. The player is still dead.

    That's really what it comes down to. The opponent is out of the fight, at least for 30-45 seconds. Given the ridiculous state of tanking capability in this game, it shouldn't be a surprise that it could take 3-4 people to kill someone who's running a tank + healer build, especially if they're not alone.

    The real skill would be to fly a BoP and tank 3-4 GOOD players. That's when you can really brag about how much it took to kill ya.

    Hey, if you klinks reserve the right to brag about every kill, even when it's 4 on 1 against a rainbow farmer who doesn't have a clue what they are doing, then I reserve the right to point and laugh at you when repeated alpha strikes fail and you need buddies to take me out.

    Besides, what is the harm in a little smack talk? Surely that's why everyone bothers to talk in zone chat in the first place :)

    well, that IS what everyone going to ker'rat is trying to do, be it win against the borg, federation, or KDF, so there's no reason anything there should ever become personal...unfortunately, half the players who go there for the fighting make it personal because, instead of having fun just fighting (which is what PvP is supposed to be about), they insist on being that guy who is undefeated with zillions of kills on his killcard, and being that without help from anyone else; I.E. a 'kirk'
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Another poor showing in Kerrat, more OP Klingons trying desperately to spoil the game.

    Another player reported for harrassment.

    Cryptic, sort it out- this broken mess has got to be fixed.

    Kerrat is only broken in its respawn overflow point and the Borg whom sit inside nodes pr rubber band through the zone constantly.

    Otherwise Kerrat is a PvPE zone of competition against the oppossing faction to complete the mission before them and not die to the Borg.

    The mission description states this fairly clearly. Expect more PvPE in Kerrat in the future as we KDF get hopefully enjoy it again at the lower levels.

    Make no mistake, our mission is to Win.

    If this means some of our warriors have to attack the feds to keep them occupied or hound those feds attempting scan nodes or shoot the regen blocks while we have other warriors run the mission complete it that just means we know what Kerrat is designed for on STO.
    If you are not prepared for its PvP element then do not enter Kerrat.

    The Empire is there in Kerrat to kill Feds. That is the primary mission. The primary mission for alot of Starfleet in Kerrat is to farm.

    Is there any reason why it's so LOLopsided in Kerrat? Killing Starfleet *is* the Empire's content and national pastime!

    I confess, I'm curious as to what behavior you reported for harassment.


    Edit: just to be clear, I haven't been in Kerrat lately.

    He's probably just being a whiner. I very rarely see 'report-worthy' stuff in Ker'rat. Farthest it goes is trading insults and the occasional QQ about spawncamping and getting ganged up on. Some people take it too seriously.

    I still enjoy Kerrat as a Fed, been flying in there nightly to get my 3 War Zones done with an engi I'm lvling flying escorts (seems to be a shocker for KDF). I love hear the sound of a cloaked ship getting ready to Alpha me (surround sound system), usually its followed up with my ending up behind the BoP that is now tractored and getting spanked. Last time I let someone Alpha me take my ship down to about 20% and then surprise them and blow 'em out of the sky. They got me back while I was tanking a couple of Cubes and probes. I saw their ship cloak a little ways away and knew they were coming for me again, so I decided to troll them by only using consoles and no weapons. I tractored 'em and used the Phaser Defense system console to strip their shields and hit em with another couple of toys. They figured out what was going on and came around on me and tried to crack me shields, but I just buffed em some more and then hit the Impulse Overdrive console and flew full speed away.

    I even had a couple BoPs try and unsuccessfully Alpha me. At one point I had even just finished the War Zone mission and just wanted to leave when I heard the sound of a ship buffing while cloaked. The darn BoP couldn't kill me even when I had decided not to buff my self, I just sat there while they hit me with BO and Rapid Fires. Messaged the guy and said you need to work a bit on your Alpha strike.

    Agreed with above post, best place to just do cold runs and test out builds. If I can survive then I can face the Borg.

    EDIT: Also why I'm for more open PVP places, THIS IS A WAR!

    I'm mostly fed and I am mostly a ground pvper but, I love going to ker'rat to train for space pvp.

    I have no problem losing a fight, though I do find that my tet glider can hold up fairly well against almost any KDF ship. Remind you though, I am no space pvper. If I can hold up against the annoying cloak of the KDF, then so should everyone else. Unlike ground, you should NOT get 1 shot killed. If you are, you need to re-evaluate your ship build, toon skills, and practice more!!

    A lot of times it is the inability to heal or incredibly fragile shields that hurt you the worst, in any class. I would take a look into getting fleet shields both a and b types. :)




    Now... as far as the complaining goes, I find that it is both Fed and KDF that complain, not just one faction.

    Going to be funny when the Klingons go up against the Romulan ships. :P

    The only thing that makes me mad is, if my Fed ship does explode, I always respawn in a different instance. Want to go back to the fun, dang it!. lol

    Both KDF and FED misunderstand the main goal of this zone: To scan 8 nodes and kill 4 hulks to win the mission and get the first place optionally. FEDs farm cubes and additional hulks for purrple MK XII cunsoles, while KDFs don't even try to get the mission done and just shoot the FEDs and even say that they have no interest in doing the mission.

    That's why Kerrat must get n00k'd as soon as possible. It does no good, it's only upsetting basically everyone. Not just the FED's, also the KDF.
