Something from the intel tree on Tribble

Between that and all of the intel skills that give bonuses to attacking the backside I think the BoP will become king*


*more so then normal anyway

    If anyone can start flanking, even though it may be less than the BOP & Breen Raider, then it's time the BOP not be gimped with the hull / shield mod penalties, BOFF skill total penalties, etc.

    Eh if we had a 5 tact console one yeah but since we won't ever get that I don't think 10% more flanking damage is going to amount to anything. As well we don't have any way to increase our cloak ambush duration although reman boffs/captains can.

    Meh, even with this flank bonus It won;t matter much to me, Its completely negated by the Defence Cruiser command power so just puts you back to a standard footing

    You're assuming everyone uses that one exclusively when flying cruisers.

    4/5 of my played toons are KDF and with that said, the Aquarius needed attention for a long long time. I'm not going to get into the us vs them mentality on this one. Just like I buy most KDF releases, I'll snag this too to show my support for revising ships.

    This ship was added at player demand, but in a gimped way, been saying for a long time it should be treated as a federation raider. The only thing off on it to me is the option of the cloaking device console, given that the T6 ship all have integrated cloaks, well that ship sailed.

    My one Fed has an Adapted Destroyer if she wants an integrated cloak.

    Only if there is a Tier 6 BOP with Intelligence BOFFs. For now, there is not.

    When i was trying to promote a Impulse Mod Buff on Raiders with 0.20 to be at 0.22, Cryptic read that part...

    But i've never said anything about making the Aquarius into a Raider that have better overalll stats than both the Breen and KDF Raiders in terms of Shield and Impulse Mods...

    I'm glad that Cryptic read my ''Raiders need real buff's'' thread, only to decide that they that the Feds should get better Raiders in open combat performance than KDF Raiders...

    So what the KDF got unique now? hmmm....

    Carriers ~ No
    Battle Cruisers ~ No
    Raiders ~ No

    I can see why no ones playing the KDF... *coughs*

    When are they going to get it over with and make the KDF a sub-faction of the Feds like the Romulans are now? We are already getting the same amount of new ships as Romulans in this new pack so we obviously aren't faction equal to the Feds or nowhere close.

    If all vessels eventually end up with flanking as it is how about increasing actual raiders flanking to the rear 180 degrees; In the additional 90 degree arc they would even be able to attack another vessel on it's flanks. Additionally an indicator as to what a vessels heading is would be much appreciated.
