    Thanks cryptic? Time to dust off my favorite ship in the game. :eek:

    I have (again) found my fed side HY striker, this time with cloak, flank and universal boffs(FINALY )

    Conquering and stealing are two very different terms. :mad:

    "And both are the wrong term Orion! After Kahless the Unforgettable laid waste to Molor with the first Bat'leth, and unified the Klingon people to forge the Empire, we created warp drive for ourselves little over a century after his departure to Sto-Vo-Kor, and we have gloriously expanded amongst the stars ever since."

    You only survive because of pilfered Klingon technology, upon which this just another example! Tell me how you would cope without captured leaches and Aceton Assimilators, or carriers or cloaks or any other Klingon development gifted to you by your Cryptic pet tamers!"

    Ha! We got your Leech, but what about TDF! You... wait. What about the Nadion Saaturation Bomb huh?... oh wait... and the Warp Burst Capac... ahem same story...

    Well, KDF got Ionized Gas Sensors... which is very OP... somewhat. Impulse Cell! Which has been replaced by Undine jump... Photonic Displacement! And Enhanced Plasma Manifold... even if you got a near-copy of it already...

    You got all of these stuff, and you rant about us only getting Acetons, Leech, Theta, Graviton Pulse, Subspace Jump and other TRIBBLE like that!

    It would be even more hilarious if the Klingons gave the Feds the tech willingly.

    "Oh hey, you destroyed the original Aquarius saving our planet? Here, let us help you rebuild it!"

    And I got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard...omg...lol.

    Okay... So it was really too big of a boost the Aquarius got.

    As I said in the patchnotes thread, I recommend a 'Raider' shield mod for the Aquarius, since in all else it already is a raider: 0.8 (0.88 Fleet).
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    "Precisely! Supposedly peaceful Starfleet constantly conducts theft of potent, classified and restricted Imperial property, while the upright and honourable Klingons only take decades old equipment that is already out of date!"

    I think everybody knew it needed some love...it was a joke ship...but where they went with it, it's like they took all the individual requests and lumped them together...lol.

    Hey Cryptic, it was "the Aquarius needs ...or...or...or..." not "the Aquarius needs ...and...and...and...." - meh/lol.

    Now why the F^&# would they not buff the galaxy like that....no one gives a tribble's TRIBBLE about the aquarius, but they would make so much money if they buffed the galaxy to say excelsior/assault cruiser level.

    Same patch notes buff the Vesta, btw, and fix the D'kyr.

    yeah I think the feds made out pretty well on this. The nebula got a huge boost too with turn rate, inertia and the cool down and buff to its consoles.

    oh and if they make a fleet d'kyr i'll for sure be flying one. I love it's new console layout :)

    REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY?

    The aquarious that no one buys got updated and b'rel is left behind....???

    REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY????

    "So, we've decided to upgrade the B'Rel. It's going to get (...). That includes an improved turn rate!"

    "Wait, wait... with that kind of increased turn rate, the B'Rel is going to be impossible for most players to maneuver!"

    "Didn't you know? The Klingon translation of B'Rel is 'super-fast spinning top'."

    "M'kay... well, don't bother updating the B'Rel stats. No one flies it anyways. What about one of those FED ships, like, say... the Aquarius?"

    "Does Aquarius translate into anything in Klingon?"

    "Nope. But in Cryptic-ese, it means 'dust off the odd-looking FED ship that very, very few play -- and see if anyone will buy it.' Bump up the stats... then watch the sales figures bump up, too! Yeah -- do it!"

    "Okay then! (snicker) Maybe we can sell more Aquarius ships. Maybe we'll even sell as many as there are B'Rels..."

    :rolleyes:


    I feel your pain, brother. More love for the KDF... please!
    (Are we really back to saying that again? There was such hope when the last couple of seasons started giving more love to the KDF...)

    I suggest you put some of your vigor that you "kill" klinks with into pressuring the devs to make us happy. Otherwise just go ahead and turn your guns on starfleet, we're gone :P

    anyone but me notice that there's two threads on this in the KDF subforums...and it hasn't even rippled for the Fed forums. It's like they didn't notice or care.

    They wont even buy the ship anyway, would have to drop 4 FSMs plus an upgrade on a ship that will be obsolete the day it is released. Then cryptic will say, urgh these metrics show nobody likes raiders!

    LOL, it's the same thinking with developing for the KDF. Cryptic complains they don't make money on the KDF, but then again, they never put much to sell over the years for the KDF.

    How do you make money selling things to people when you don't give them anything to buy? :D

    Then complain afterwards that you're not making money off of them? :P

    For your scenario, I can already imagine some ******* punching values on his calculator and screaming that they're not profiting at all from this venture.
