Legendary B'rel looks disappointing...

obviously not talking aesthetics since the b'rel always looks awesome, but stats wise I'm kinda let down, no chance at all I'll be buying the bundle.

It lacks the extra universal console that the legendary excelsior (and others like the legendary dreadnaught) get. It gets stuck with the same withering barrage t5 trait that we have on SO many other ships now. Who's going to need withering barrage that doesn't have the t6 dhelan, defiant, or whichever one the KDF already has? Besides that, the klingon recruit event we have going on right now rewards a free T6 (the m'chla refit) by level 10 or 11 that ALSO has the withering barrage trait. Seriously, why not give the legendary b'rel something worthwhile there? Even the T6 trait it gets as an account unlock doesn't seem good at all, nobody cloaks in combat these days for any meaningful content, so you're going to get that bonus maybe once or twice per TFO, it's not even worth one of our highly prized trait slots to begin with.

The only redeeming feature the Legendary B'rel even has is pilot maneuvers - a nice feature, but sure as heck not worth the cost of this bundle.

KDF has been getting let down by cryptic since their inception. Why is there no love for this faction?

    Because it is disappointing...the anniversary raider is better in every way that counts

    Cryptic has a history of TRIBBLE over the KDF and giving them lousy ships, and when those lousy ships don't sell they point to them as a example as to why they don't make Klingon ships

    Yup, it's a joke.

    This "age of the klingon" TRIBBLE was nothig more than cutting the KDF intro missions. They butchered, shortened and basicly ruined it.

    Attacking the mars shipyards was a fun and awe inspiring event, I used to replay it just for fun. Now it's boring, short and has a crappy soundtrack.

    The ONLY improvement was the mission into Grethor.

    Um. You are aware that only full Miracle Worker ships, ones that have CMDR. MW seat and the Innovation mechanic, have an innate universal console slot, right? The Legendary BoP is not a full MW ship. Therefore, it makes no sense for it to have a uni slot without an X-upgrade being applied it.

    Also, starsihp traits are meant to be one of the more YMMV aspects of the game. For me personally, the Legendary BoP's T6 trait would be an excellent addition to my Klingon Recruit's build with how frequently I use my ship's battle cloak on him.

    I must say I slightly disagree with your reasons for being disappointed. First, Universal Console slots are Miracle Worker exclusives. Second, the cloaking trait is quite good for people who play BoPs; while cloak isn’t used a lot on most ships, when your hull is damp tissue paper it becomes pretty useful. Also, it works while under the effects of Enhanced Battle Cloak, meaning your B’rel/T’Varo torpedo boats will get a lot of mileage off it.

    That being said, am I, a Raider main, disappointed by the B’rel? Absolutely. We did not need another Pilot BoP. Please give us a Bird of Prey (not a raider, an actual honest to goodness BoP) that has something other than Pilot. Seeing a B’rel actually traveled through time and back, and since ships are cross-faction, it would have been perfect to make a Temporal B’rel, throw the ENT skin and a new HMS Bounty Decal option for the base skin. Instead we get a ship that is honestly worse than my D4x and equivalent at best with the M’chla.

    Yes the B'rel is disappointing. It should have been the definitive raider in the game, but that's already going to the Temer, which even the people who buy the bundle will have before ever touching this B'rel.
