Sorry folks, this only promotes the burial of T5/T5u.
Wait until moar T6 ships show up, wait until the Fleet T6 show up.
Hold on, I thought Lockbox/Lobi ships get a FREE upgrade to T5-U. Why is this saying I need a Requisition?
But ... but ... but ... you can upgrade your Kazon Raider to T5U ... and it's gonna be totally worth it ... for sure ...
It's not a "real" Lockbox Ship ... just a "Mirror Ship" ... the ones that cost like 200,000 EC on the Exchange ...
Not sure why they'll give us even more "freeish" Alien Ships, after the official Statement "Oh Noes, Lockbox Ships have to be in a Lockbox, otherwise everyone would fly them ..."

A kazon raider.. tier 5U.. lol, that is ridiculous to say the least xD. A runabout could destroy a kazon raider and nobody will know it. lol. It doesnt matter what cryptic say, the kazon are far from being competitive with the new renoved factions. Their tech was always TRIBBLE and even if they advanced in all these years, their ships should be far worst than any other T5U ship. Even worst than almost all the T5 ships.
But here's my frequency, so hail me maybe?
Been two a year, one near march one near November.
Because the first two are there to make you laugh at the Operatons Pack and unlock your wallet, the Kazon ship is just a virtual middlefinger. :P
The Khazon Raider is a failure as a "Raider" for many crucial reasons:
Among Raider type ships (KDF BOPs, Breen Raider, Aquarius), the Khazon Raider isn't more maneuverable, isn't faster, isn't more durable, though all are more durable than the KDF BOPs, but the BOPs turn better (not that it matters much these days).
The Khazon Raider's firepower, even at T5u, isn't anything special. Standard Raider Weapons layout of 4/2. Only 4 TAC Consoles. At least the Breen Raider has 5 TAC Consoles. At least the KDF BOPs have Battle Cloak to make those special flanking attacks hit harder coming out of cloak.
The only possible benefit for the Khazon Raider is ease of access to a "Raider" ship for certain players.
- Feds who don't want to fork out the 4 FSM of an Aquarius then having to do the T5u process.
- Players who want a Raider but are not KDF so no BOPs
- Players who want a Raider but missed out on the last Winter Event's much more superior Breen Raider.
But even that is no guarantee that this ease of access will be cheap. For all we know, this ship will go for high prices on the Exchange.
And a final tip for those that want to play with Raider ships: Speed is life. Hit & Run is the norm and that does not equate to high DPS-peen-bragging rights. You have to fight like that unless you like the idea of hitting the Respawn button a lot. Whether you fly a KDF BOP, Breen Raider, the revamped Aquarius, or this Khazon Raider. Park & Shoot will get you killed quick. You may get away with that with more durable Cruisers and even Escorts. But not with Raider ships. Their hull and shields are by nature, all very low. And KDF BOPs are the lowest of the low, 2nd only to Player Shuttles
Cause the Kazon Ship is the new "Mirror Ship" ... higher Drop-Rate but way crappier ...

Guess this means that the first "free" Tier 6 ship will be the next Winter Event ship unless Cryptic decides to release a Tier 6 mission reward ship tomorrow which is extremely unlikely.
Pretty inconsistent and fairly transparent on what is going on here.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
I'm more interested to see how much lobi they want for that T6 lobi ship, so I know what precedent they're going to set. 800? 1000?

That is going to be an interesting consideration there...hrmm.
Positive feedback loop = Muahahahaha, more sci damage.
(The only reason you don't see it often is because it requires a D'deridex. The pull on that sucker makes Undine rifts look like child's play - and you'll be able to equip it on ANYTHING.)
Does it get boosted by anything like the psych warfare trait?
Yeah I agree a nerf may be in the air
But in the meantime Im getting one for ships and tribbles
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Positive Feedback Loop:
Activating any Exotic Damage ability grants you a 10% increase to Hull and Shield Healing effectiveness. Activating any Hull or Shield Heal grants you a 10% Bonus to Exotic Damage. Each effect is mutually exclusive.
So how the heck do I keep exotic damage boosted by 10% if when I activate an exotic damage ability I loose the boost. At least that is why I understand by mutually exclusive, you get one boost of the other.
