Honored Dead trait is game breaking and broken.

It's utterly game breaking in PvP (what is left of PvP) due to the trait being available for feds for 1mil EC max at current price, and for KDF unless lucky enough to win the sarcophagus dread would have to pay currently 900mil+ EC. Very few KDF PvPers are going to be able to afford this. Did you not think before release cryptic? In PvE im able to use the trait on my fed, low dmg res/pure damage build and hit and maintain 65%+ dmg res through an entire STF, thats just insane and again, a game breaking trait. Basically you have made the most powerful must have trait at 1mil EC cost only available to feds. Despite cryptic's efforts to reboot PvP post S13 they're managing to kill it off entirely. Even if you made this trait available for KDF too at a mere 1mil EC cost, all we're gonna have is ker'rat filled with players that just will not die. pew pew infinity. Well done cryptic.

I'm not a PvPer, but PvP was broken before this trait even came out due to vapers. It was literally whoever shoots first wins. Not only that... PvP is extremely unfriendly to nonPvPers. Someone like me goes in... might as well just forget participating due to being vape bait.
There was a revamp? I thought it was the threat of a revamp and most changes end up reverted and in the end damage goes up even more...
First off...I don't PvP.
This is why I hate PvP! I get something good to use and NOW it's gonna get nerfed to hell due to a small number of PvP players that start yelling about OP! and UNFAIR! Ya know, the NPCs I blast don't go crying to the Devs about me being stronger than them! That's why I like them.
Second... sarcophagus dread last I looked was a bit under 600M. And I've been playing STO for 8yrs and never won a ship from a box. That's 'unfair' too!
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
IMO its only so op as someone figured out with the TRIBBLE backlash the best way to shift boxes is to give a 'killer app' trait...power creep and oneupmanship trumps personal taste, after all
...that said as a kdf non pvper who torps, getting the fed trait makes me a happy camper

-Cryptic don't set the prices on the exchange - the market (the sellers) does.
-That's not an unattainable amount of EC.
-A person can have both KDF and Fed characters.
-A person can shift EC from one character to another.
-I don't know about any true PvPers who actually want to get into a fair-fight between peers, but the Gankers of Ker'rat (KDF-side) seem to have no trouble crafting UberBuilds...
The OP screams of "I can't afford this, so I'm going to say it's unfair!"
"I was here before you, I will be here after you are gone. I am here, regardless of your acknowledgement or acceptance..." - The Truth
This is true.. buyer beware!
Cryptic does this to make money, they package something they know is OP and broken.. leave it alone as long as it's generating revenue, and then when either everyone already has it or loses interest they 'balance' it into utter uselessness.
It's a slimy and disgusting business practice, selling people something and then altering it after they already have your money. This is why many people advise that you only buy a ship if you really like and want the ship, do not buy it for the trait, it's going to get nerfed.. guaranteed.
As far as it's effect on PvP, sorry to hear that, but honestly.. there are just too few people that actually care to see anything change. I don't want to sound like a jerk and tell you 'no one cares' but honestly.. no one does. Sorry.
dont worry, its growing and growing again, one of the big fleets i'm in is entirely dedicated in swarming kerrat.
It's funny how Tac vapers don't think their shield and resistance-ignoring alphas aren't broken, but when a counter to their tactic is introduced, THAT is what's broken.
Sorry man, Honored Dead is the tanking counter to Cold Hearted. Deal with it.
This is entirely TRUE. DO NOT BUY....Just a bait to get some people flamed and excited.
Look what happened to every single trait or console useful in the past....NERFED. Remember plasmoic leach? Used to be worth upwards of 100MIL at times in the exchange and after it got nerfed would be happy if you could sell for 2mil.
Whoever is spending money on the exchange on this will regret it sooner or later as history will repeat itself.
Do bear in mind, adding more powerful traits and such could also impact PvE, as the new threats we face get more and more dangerous.
The moon landing was faked too!

That being said, evening using this trait doesn't guarantee that a person is invincible. Not everyone has all the necessary traits to be withstand a near infinite amount of attacks. The trait is fine. And I will say, as an Eng, I have had a few KDF blow me up with that trait running. So having 75% All Damage Resistance doesn't always make you invincible.
If anything needs a nerf, it's the KDF and Rom Pilot ships. They are so fast and can cloak and hide so easily. It's is very difficult for a cruiser to event hit them in PvP.
Vaping needs to be removed from PvP! Bottom line.
