Orion Warbarge

edited August 2014 in Klingon Discussion
My main character on the KDF side is an Orion, and I've always wanted to fly Orion ships. Seeing the wide range of Orion ships in the game, I keep hoping that these will one day be available to players.

So, here's what I propose for the Orion Warbarge (dreadnought):


Rank: Lieutenant General
Tier: 5
Type: Dreadnought
Hull: 43,000
Standard Shields: 5,225 (Mk X)
Shield Modifier: 1
Weapons: Fore 4 Aft 4
- Can mount Dual Cannons
Crew: 3600
Bridge Officers: Lieutenant Tactical, Commander Engineering, Lieutenant Science, Lieutenant Commander Universal
Device Slots: 4
Consoles: Tactical: 3 Engineering: 4 Science: 3
Turn Rate: 5.5
Impulse Modifier: 0.15
Inertia rating: 18
Bonus Power:
Cost: 2,500 Zen
Abilities: Carrier Commands
Cruser Commands: Shield Frequency Modulation, Attract Fire
Hangar: 1 (Stocked with Orion Interceptors by default)


Obviously the stats are just a suggestion, but I'd really like to see the Warbarge as a playable ship.

    I'd say, if decide on making dreadnoughts for the KDF - a 3-pack is in order. A combiantion of the Warbarge, Ravager and Balaur - so the KDF players that are fans of the other KDF allied species get some more variety.

    The Warbarge would be the engineering one with a hangar bay, the Ravager would be the tactical heavy one in line with Nausicaan tradition and the Balaur will be science slanted in line with the Gorn role in the current KDF.

    I'd go for that. They'd be sold individually too, but a 3-pack would help things along.

    I like the warbarge, but shouldn't it have an Ensign BOFF slot? The obvious choice would be Engineer.

    I've been doing the Wasteland arc on one of my alts and took a closer look at the Orion Dreadnought - http://i.imgur.com/hG6H5oq.jpg

    I'd say the texture work on this thing is on par with the playable Dacoit and Corsair ships. Considering how little endgame KDF ships there are when compared to the FED, I'd really like to see a Fleet Marauder and Fleet Warbarge added, among other missing ships.

    That would be awesome. Using NPC ships and releasing them for player purchase would be a nice shortcut in the development cycle, too... but, by dreadnought, do you mean on par with the Scimitar (10 console/3pack quality) or Gal-X (VA + Fleet version)?

    I dunno... given Orion history, I'd actually like to see an Orion ship that was a sci vessel. Orions allegedly had the best medical technology in the quadrant prior to the formation of the Federation.

    Maybe a 2409 version of this?

    Yeah they need a wider selection of orion, nausicaan, and gorn ships. They do have a lot of them for npc ships. The only problem I forsee if they did make some they would run into issues like the hoh'sus(all they need to do is make some alternative wings to choose from) that doesn't feel like an actual ship or just something so godawful like how the peanut marauder looks.

    I think it would need a console or new pet that can be used by any of the three pack in its three pack and by any Orion ship.

    I love this idea.

    Though I would love to see a non-science-leaning-gorn ANYTHING

    I for one totally agree! This...must happen! D: :mad: Warbarge! Orions have already taken over the KDF! Ship out some more ships! We already have Undine ships, of all the silly things in the galaxy...

    As badly as I've been wanting the Warbarge(or something comparable), I finally caved and replaced my old Corsair with a Bastion.

    I have to say, the ship has exceeded all my expectations and is absolutely amazing. It outclasses all the Orion FDCs at what they do and even comes with a unique bridge to boot(one that isn't Klingon Industrial Red! - It's spacious and grand, perfect for an Orion). If we don't get something new for Expansion 2, I would highly recommend investing in a Bastion - it's probably as close as we're going to get.

    I hope in Orion interceptor raider, in show his size was comparable with NX-class, not that small like hangar pet fighter in STO. It looks the second most played species in STO are the Orions, so they want something else than another fat bulky ship (especially twiggy orion chicks :) )

    http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060910010638/memoryalpha/en/images/6/62/OrionInterceptor.jpg

    The ship could have some unusual configuration f.e. 5/1 weapons slots.

    I really would like to see some more Orion, Gorn and Nausicaan ships, particularly the Warbarge-It's a very pretty ship. While we are at it, how about some fleet-level versions of some of the non-Klingon ships Like the Dacoit that are flyable butt don't get tier 5 refits? It's a shame to see all these unutilized or underutilized Gorn/Nausicaan/Orion assets in game, particularly with the relatively smaller amount of ships KDF players have to choose from.

    Sounds really cool, the only thing I would change would be to give it two hangars with the ability to have frigate pets (With it's own unique frigate sized Interceptors).

    I 2nd a 3 pack and put a stamp on it. I too would like to see more NPC ships available to players. I would like to see the corvette added to our ship list.

    I'd love to see orion/nausicaan/gorn dreadnaughts, and more of their ships in general. The entire reason I play KDF is because of all the non-klingon ships. I'd love to see an orion warbarge, and a playable talon battleship.

    But the thing I would truely love to see is more playable Fek'liri ships.

    Here is what I noticed.

    Besides the klingons, the 3 other main races that provide ship designs are the Gorn, Orion, and Nausicaans.

    The klingons have plenty of their ships fleeted as a race, however there is one trend with the three others.

    Gorns have 3 "support" science vessels
    Orions have 3 flight deck cruisers
    Nausicaans have 3 destroyers

    Of each race, one of their ships is tier 3, tier 4, and a tier 5, and one of those ships has fleet version, gorn having a fleet varanus, orion have fleet corsair, and nausicaans have fleet scourge (as well as a non-fleet tier 5 version of the scourge).

    So basically, I believe those ships should first get the fleet treatment before we introduce other kdf race ships.

    Too bad the Dev's do everything then can to slowly kill the kdf. We'll never see it.
    I use to do 100K DPS, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

    I would like to see those other ships also get Fleet Refits as well. In addition, I would like to see the Gorn Tuatara Cruiser added as a T2 cruiser in addition to a T5 cruiser. I would also like to see the K'Norr added as a T3 escort in addition to a T5 refit and a Fleet Refit. I would also like the small Naus destroyer-escort at T2. Its T5 and fleet refits could use the same stats as the Aquarius.

    To me the Warbarge would have the new broadsiding mechanic when it's introduced, seems like the logical thing to give it to set it apart from the other 3 Orion FDCs.

    I don't really care for the Gorn or Nausican Ships but Orions I would love to see more available for us to fly. After unlocking my first KDF toon Shortly after the F2P update I rolled my first Orion buying the Dacoit on the spot. Then as soon as I hit 30 the Corsair and 40 the Marauder. Would So jump at the chance to buy new Orion ships.

    The only other C-store ships I went for are the Bortasqu 3 pack, B'rel Retrofit, and To'duj Fighter. Planning on buying the Mogh at some time when it is on sale but no big rush for it atm. Have the Phalanx Science Vessel and SuQob Raptor due to the free give away a while back but never had any intentions of buying them and never actually use them. More Orion Ships and a shuttle/fighter I would buy as soon as I could afford sale or not like I did the other 3. Still also waiting for an authentic Orion bridge pack for my ships.

    With having 15 or so characters all capped I don't bother with buying fleet modules and just go for the event reward ships to get the fleet quality, but still love my Marauder. If there was a fleet module discount for the Fleet Corsair or they had the Fleet Marauder even so that it would only cost 1 module for owning the C-store version I could Justify buying the modules but at $20 per ship for each of the 6 KDF toons I will not bite their hook. Bad enough 1 module each for a Fleet Armitage, Nebula and Atrox on the 7 Fed toons, Fleet T'varo, and Dhelan on the 2 Romulans for my main account alone. The Buy once and unlock for all toons of that faction work best for me financially So more C-store and Dil Orion Ships and Bridges are on my willing to buy on the spot.

    Yes I'd love an Orion Bridge.

    As for the Warbarge I think it will either be tier 6 or be escilpsed by a tier 6 FDC.

    Only thing that really blows though is being how often we get an actual Klingon ship...

    Odds are like Geko said in many podcasts what you see with ships in KDF that are not Klingon ships is all you are going to see is what is already in there lol.

    Which kind of is repulsive imo to design a faction like that and then not finish what you started. Although the main reason this is they just use the KDF as a beta testing and to grab a lil bit of cash until they put the kdf stuff in a lockbox for feds to buy lockboxes to get it lol.

    I like some of the ideas, however, I would raise its turn to 6.5, and raise its inertia to at least 20. Otherwise its just a sluggish Orion Bort.

    I would like to see options like they did the other ships, have a Science, Eng, Tac focused versions.
