With the news of a FIVE FORE weapon ship coming out -ONLY- for Feds
http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=821871 , the existence of TWO Fed ships with five tactical consoles, and the utter lack of new content for KDF... why don't you people at Cryptic just finish boning the entire KDF faction and get it over with?
Maybe there's a reason about 15% of players play KDF primarily: we have extremely limited costume choices, extremely limited ship choices ("extremely" now because of the 5 tac consoles/5 fore weapons on Fed ships now with NO KDF equivalent at all), extremely limited mission development, and the utter lack of new content on a consistent basis.
You people at Cryptic could do something as lazy and as little work (since you guys don't really like doing work) as creating carbon copies of said Fed ships. Now, with Fed players getting unarguably the best ship in the game in 2 days time, what the hell is the point in anyone wanting to play KDF now? Do you people think we don't have zen and $$$ too?
You people have lost any income you'll ever get from me. This is complete bull****.

Consider it a challenge. Much like every other escort the Feds have, if they get you in their forward arc, you're already dead... but avoid that, and you can tear them apart like a balloon. Even easier than the rest of them are
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

Are you kidding???
It took 25 minutes from the time the Kumari post went up. I'm shocked at the restraint shown by the community on this one.
PS: lmao at how fast this got dropkicked out of the general feedback section.
Not to mention, if you really want to maximize the damage from this thing, you will want the three piece console set. So that dedicated 8 consoles to damage - 5 tac consoles for energy weapons, and then 3 of your engineering or science consoles for the andorian console set.
Ok didnt notice it was only the tac version that had the horrible layout. Well its still nice to know that they will be forced to use the 4 tac console versions or die a lot.
Thats wha, 1 hull per 6 seconds natural recovery rate ?

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Just another reason how it's excellent damage-dealing ability is offset by it's subpar *cough terrible cough* survival ability. It makes our BOP's look sturdy by comparsion XD

That ship is toast without good team support :cool:
That a foolish Federation Captain will learn the hard way that firing too many weapons at once leaves your power levels near room temperature?
Or that 5 frontal weapons don't help much when the only enemy you can outmaneuver packed RSP?
Or that 2 rear weapons work only on a BoP because it's gonna fly circles around an Adorian Escort?
for the role the kumari is being aimed at, the bop's do it better due to universal boff slotting. however those wing cannons have to be parsed with and without 3pc consoles. if they become competitive or exceed abop damage in pve, there may be cause for concern (also depending on duration and cooldown).
What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350

It's a amusing ship, it's something different, but nothing to be worried about nor dissapointed about for that record.
Please disperse, nothing to see here! Nothing to see here!
It would open up a tinsy bit of time on the dev team so they can develop that Romulan faction?
So you actively do not want a 5 tactical console ship available on the KDF side?
Riiight becuase you feds are the beacon of patience and mild temperance on the forums all day long and twice on Sundays....
Pot meet kettle.

It's not about wheather I want or don't want that.
It's about the Fed. having the Fleet Defiant and Prometheus with 5 tac. consoles not being that much intimidating or game breaking for the KDF so far.
And it's about the Kumari class not being OP and game breaking or a threat for the KDF if we don't get a 5 forward weapons ship any time soon.
It's about not screaming "To hell with KDF" over this. I expected it worse. They actually managed to make the Kumari nicely balanced, it wont break the other escorts in game as some suspect nor it will be an unsolvable puzzle for the KDF captains that makes them resign the KDF. It's just something fresh & different.
It's true that 5 DHC or 4 DHC + 1 QHC would drain energy more than usual. It's also true that the Kumari doesn't have the best boff setup. I don't actually think this Kumari breaks the game or that STO is over for KDF.
The point is that yet again, new content added to the game is... not just Fed side, but ONLY Fed side. Instead of 2 Fed-only ships available only through the Fed side c-store having 5 tactical consoles, they're getting another. On top of that, they're getting the only 5 fore weapon ship in the entire game. The ship itself will require some creative piloting to optimize it, but that doesn't change the glaring fact that Cryptic seems to have continued to forget there's a KDF faction these 3 years.
It's also pretty typical to expect a handful of snotty replies from Fed players when anyone points out that there is a severely underdeveloped faction in STO. I realize Fed players mostly only excel at failing STF optionals, and that we'll probably won't have much to fear from Fed players who generally are terrible at PVE and PVP even with a 5 fore-gun ship, but it's still extremely not cool that yet again, KDF gets nothing. Not even a carbon copy. Sad.

I guess you where not here for the fed bitchfest when the KDF got thier last big group of
Ships released to them and oh how the feds whined for months about it.
And then tried to justify thier own childish rants about it.
Poor hypocritical feds, so quick to judge others but defend themselves when they act the same.

It's posts like these that make me wish we had a like button.
The Federation posters need to stop acting like self-righteous jerks. They rage just as much whenever the KDF gets something that is actually good.
Funny. Looking at your avatar, are you who I think you are?
If so, you been missed.
