Okay. I HAD a smexy little Marmotty ship. 21k of sleek hull. Now's its 32k. What gives? I saw the bit on buffing shields but I missed the hull buff.
This, is simply awful.
I want my wittle ship back!

Fleet Norgh, by the way.
So if anyone can point me in the direction to the documentation on this obvious attempt to nerf ME PERSONALLY in PVP and SOCIALLY (no one likes a chunky marmot) please do so.

You can always come over to fed side and fly the aquarius, that is if you have fetish for gimped ships :P
Tbh, I'm not a big fan of it either. I much prefer the hit&run playstyle. All the defensive boosts across both factions is basically going to turn every arena match into a Fed ball, but w/cannons instead of the old FaW and w/toy consoles/pets instead of the old Sci Boff abilities.
Atm, some players are reporting 3-4% passive hull repair/second = 90-120%/30seconds of free hull regen using human boffs @ full crew. Even w/no crew some reported quality passive repairs, though not as high.
There's fleet shields which have high passive resist stacking.
Cooldown doffs to reduce cooldowns of high resist/repair abilities like TSS/HE/PH (though these also reduce cooldowns of high alpha strikes). Can also be used to make 1 copy of RSP functionally behave as 2.
Passive repair rep system ability for shields.
Passive repair hull and or shield Sci consoles.
Hull resist Doffs for BFI or Ramming Speed.
Defensive boosts from Doffs for ships w/hangars. AoE defensive boost from MEF.
Hybrid ships w/both offensive and defensive Boff layouts.
Tbh, I've been tempted to hop into an old Fed toon I haven't touched in years, then pop on aegis for the stacking hull resists and load 5 human Boffs. Then take off shields and see if hull tanking is feasible again.

What do we call it? 24k and .8 base was a Heavy BoP. What does that make 24750 and .88?
And I'm not being smarmy with my question about cd's in that other thread. I want your opinion because I have one of my own and I don't think it's the same as Cryptic's.
CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that?
Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
PaxOttomana: gawd mirror event is like fighting a tsi premade, they keep comin and comin!
Doesn't work. Aegis (sadly) doesn't cut anymore in the current dps racing.
I think I'm retaining water.

Thinking about it, it's more that the shield is required for the passive I was thinking of. No shields, no weapons and 2 part Borg, 5 human Boffs, HE, PH, Aux2Damp, Aux2Sif, ET, passive Sci hull repairs, passive Rep System hull bonus, APD, Hazzard Doffs. Then fly around full engine power and when hulll gets lows, tac captain skills boost, subspace jump, evasives/deut, and ram something. Just need a ship w/decent sci console/eng console layout and high base hull HP.

More seriously, the thing which has always kept the BoP balanced is that it's pretty frail once you get past the speed, turn, battlecloak, and BOff defenses.
Making a BoP as sturdy as a Defiant could cause problems. Or maybe not -- with the way burst damage is, any hull or shields below a certain point are basically equal.
You clearly don't understand the marmot
That's sorta like what I said when you told me you had just alpha'd me last nite. I'm glad you told me what that was. Can I even say that on the forums? DDIS tried to Alpha me?
Does that count as a date?

you were informed of what it was, its like yelling surprise first! or after... so that makes it consensual
i wasn't referring to yours specifically, i play the field, and had plucked many a bird since the last patch were that buff could have happened. they didn't strike me as additionally durable.
You broke my chubby wittle Marmots heart!
