    I'd allow it. It's the only counter to cloak non-sci has.

    And what should the kdf use as a counter if they aren't a sci?

    No really I wouldn't allow it, KDF snoopers are locked out otherwise.

    1 rule I would like to see added is No TDF because it is not a fair playing field since KDF don't have access to it and the Feds already have all of the good KDF consoles.

    If not completely removing TDF, at least limit it to 1 per team, because having 3 of them on a team while limiting the team to only 1 cloaked ship is imbalanced.

    Like I said though, it would be better if it was banned altogether since it is the most powerful console in the game that is not cross-faction.

    Unfortunately, the rules have already been laid down and consequently I am not permitted to negotiate on possible modifications for the guideline anymore. But I can understand the KDF's p.o.v when it comes to the TDF console. In my opinion, cryptic should have granted klingons access to it by the time feds were enabled access to plasmonic leech and aceton assimilators.
    I am afraid that you have to blame cryptic for disadvantaging them with respect to accessible cross-faction items.

    On the other hand I assume that the TDF can merely unfold its full potential in conjunction with the sensor scan from a sci captain. Keep in mind that each team can only field 1 science captain at most. I think that neither an engineer nor a tac captain who is supposed to serve as a pure damage-dealer could seriously endanger a cautiously-acting cloaker just by running the detection console without having a full spec into starship sensor probes + embassy consoles etc.

    I just can hope that this condition doesn't discourage you from eventually taking part on the event.

    Sure you can't just say, no TDF? Literally that is the deciding factor of whether we'll enter. So.

    I thought you were the intermediary between the tourney organizers and English speaking community, but it sounds to me like you're making the decision on your own. Could you please relay/translate my concerns about the TDF console to the organizers and why I think it should be disallowed? Last tourney I remember certain rules were changed/added before the start of the tourney but for some reason you're saying it can't be done this time without even presenting my argument to them? Why is that? Maybe because you're fed and have access to TDF and want the advantage for your team? Just a theory, and hopefully an incorrect one.

    You blame Cryptic, but the reason rules exist in this tourney (or any tourney) is because Cryptic sucks at PvP balance so we have to balance it ourselves. If the rule of no TDF console does not exist, it is not the fault of Cryptic, but rather of the tourney organizers that failed to implement the rule.

    You are comprehending correctly, What I as the mediator was doing is to respond to your request of further additons to the rulebook. I have never made my own decisions I merely expressed my personal p.o.v there.

    No I can't, the rules are ultimately laid down. McGosmo and his team have arranged it this way.

    However, there won't be any changes beforehand in this tourney. That's the difference.

    Do you really believe that? Remember I am not the organizer, lol.

    As far as I can recall it the TDF console has never been excluded in any previous No Bs tournament (No BS 3 was the only exception since clickable universal consoles were generally disallowed) or other kind of pvp-competitions (STO frontline tournaments, Jupiter force tourney etc.), although KDF teams were involved in these ones aswell. Why should it be banned just now then? Could you clarify that for me?

    Are you able to send us mcgosmos in game handle, i think this issue would be better discussed with the person hosting the tournament.

    Slavery was not illegal in 1800, so why should we have laws against it now? Just because something was a certain way once upon a time, doesn't mean it should always remain that way.

    To explain further, before Delta Rising everyone had many PvP-ready toons. All the PvPers in Hobos had multiple Fed toons that were 100% PvP ready that they could use if needed. In the final match of the last tourney I even used my Fed Sci captain because our strategy called for it. Now, with the massive grind-fest, most KDF/Hobos don't have PvP-ready Fed toons so this is not an option.

    In addition, all of the good KDF consoles have been released to Fed at this point so now Feds have a distinct advantage in console selection compared to KDF and we KDF-main players no longer have the option to hop onto our Fed since they are not leveled.

    In the end, I'm not sure why I'm bothering explaining this to you since you refuse to even relay the message to the organizers. I think you misunderstand the purpose and role of an intermediary.

    so basically according to your "logic" we should ban all BoPs, because Feds don't have 100% universal seating ships.
    And Battle Cloak, because Feds can't have it.
    And what about Subnuke? Tacs can't have it, so why should Scis be allowed to use it?
    And Alpha? Scis can't have it, so ban it!

    That's called faction/career diversity.
    You see how wrong what you're saying is, and what it could lead to?

    You are playing in this tournament? No? Then what do you care about the rules?

    If you don't understand that times are different post-Delta Rising then I don't know what else to say. Ship diversity is fine, which the Feds have the advantage in as well, but I don't even care about that. But, but...Feds don't have battlecloak??....yeah, that's a good one.

    the people back then had different traditions and customs and the structure of society was differing from the today's one considerably. the functionality of the TDF console hasn't changed at all over the last years so I cannot perceive any context between legality of slavery in 18th century and a clickable c-store console in an online game.

    So what you are trying to tell me is that just because you were unable to make a fed toon ready for pvp yet, the TDF console has to be banned as a result for this circumstance? :confused:

    You still have around 33 days to level up and equip a fed toon if you want to make use of the TDF in your team. This is still plenty of time.

    I have already talked to mcgosmo before opening this thread and I have received instructions to present the pre-determined content in the english forums with the purpose to promote for it.
    I certainly know the role of an intermediary. He is the contact person to advertize for an event and answer questions about its conditions not to discuss or negotiate about the validity of tournament rules.

    Cool. Glad to see a new face in a tournament. I thought he was just talking to talk like heckgoblin. But still, he can not hide his obvious Fed bias. That's ok though. No less is expected^^ Y'all have your TDF and you're not gonna give it up- that much is obvious at this point.
