I know you've been used to pressing three buttons to win the match. I know your BoPs with your fbp's, vm's, and a couple of tac abilities and the odd sci captain among you spamming snb, used to auto-win every match you played. I know FBP used to get you more than half of your damage score.
Please, please change your style of play to suit this latest patch. Now you actually have to put a modicum of effort into your strategies. FBP isn't an insta-win. It doesn't do more than 100% return damage even at the highest powered Mk3 level. VM and SNB are still potent... but they have different applications now.
For the longest time I've stuck to FvF because the variety and tenacity of opponents I face has been far greater than I found in FvK. The battles are extremely tactical. I had to be ready for all manner of subsystem targets, all manner of sci abilities, and the escort I didn't see aft would hit me with full weapons power because he didn't decloak.
I've played several FvK matches today and it's been 100%, an absolute laughable joke.
To reiterate: FBP, VM, AND SNB, DOESN'T AUTO-WIN ANYMORE.
Please sort yourselves out. I'd like a bit of competition in matches as opposed to neverending wipes.
Yours sincererly,
-A friend

P.S. lol@u ^^
Fed science officers spam a lot more with VM then I see KDF doing it, but ok, I get ur point, but please do not pretend that only KDF uses the holy threesome, most Fed Science ships have it and all Fed Science ships can have exactly the same + 1 extra BO slot to boot, so em, yeah, less holy threesome, but for both sides ey
Just so I understand your post. You said you quit playing FvK because you wouldnt change your tactics to win. But now you say we need to change ours? HuH interesting...
Not lost a single match vs klinks so far today, in pugs or with the fleet...
Keep crowing about how awesome you are though mate. As you have not lost a match since the patch its obviously your skill that gets you the win.
If my "skill" is dependant on FBP being nerfed.. wait wat. Doesn't that mean you were, by the same coin, reliant on it to win? Careful now!
a respec doesnt have to cost u money, u can respec for 20000 starfleet merrit points. for klinks it should be something similar i think. u get around 120 merit points each pvp match u do, so thats about 80 pvp matches you will have to do. im in the same barn. wanne respec into my escort after this weeks respec into cruiser (i found it to be meh, not my kinda thing, and only at 5000 points so far)
FBP is still eminently useful, btw, since its primary use was to stop people shooting at me. That Feds are too stupid to do that is their own fault; FBP was only an "instant win" because 90% of players are too dumb to counter it. VM is also still useful, and SNB is actually far more useful now than it ever has been.
Same here, but you must admit the OP's arrogance is heart warming.
Your losses are due to poor abilities not the Klingons being op.
I have both factions at max level and have for some time now.
A good example of Fed op is capture and hold since the capture point changes in significantly less time for the fed than it does for the klingons.
Some great changes is now fed escorts can no longer faceroll their confettie of death attacks, fed battleships can't just sit there and reverse shields over and over and over since SNB now removes all your cute little buffs. FBP is awesome still especially now that it works against cannon fire and VM still takes systems offline and lets face it you can be held with other abilities.
I also find it interesting that you have a ship with a name I've had since pre-launch and it's not a common name for a ship at all. USS Shenanigans? really? Thought that up all by yourself?
Now all that being said. Why not try playing the other faction further the lc7?
You beat some Klingons, well done.
All Fed sci officer have to adjust their play style. Not the klingons.
Agreed, I see Feds using the trinity much more than Klinks do.
That's better! Get in the trolling spirit!
What can I say. I know the whole script of Supertroopers pretty much line for line. Tis just a little homage.
RE- after being told in pretty much every fvk match since the big-3 dev post on the tribble boards that I've been in, that the big-3 changes aren't going to change how z0mgawesome we are, said the klink, I think I'm within my rights to make the brief observation of "No, actually it did."
I played against a lot of stupid sci-ships yesterday. But I played against a lot more stupid klinks; By the end of the day I'd yet to find one who knew what they were doing due to FBP not being the win-buttin anymore. I almost felt sorry for the carriers. On the flipside, a worrying amount of sci vessels had already begun to toss largely-buffed tykens and syphons around. I'll poke as much fun as I might want to until the knuckleheads catch up.
Secondly, you can brag all you want about beating Klingons in PvP, but what does that prove? I win most of my matches, even after the most recent patch. Yet I don't come onto the forums making posts about it, or claiming Feds need to clean up their act. Yeah, it's fun to rub it in all the Science officers faces that they can't leisurely lock you out of the fight. Getting hit with a 30 second SNB followed by a VM was cheap, and the old FBP3 was very dirty... but it's over now. Be happy!
the problem now has nothing to do with specific abilities but an actual change in the dynamics of shields themselves. Since now shield power has a more drastic effect on resistances certain basic abilities like rotate shield frequency, emergency power to shields, just to name a few , make science ships almost unkillable. Oh, and imagine that.. every pvp match I've played since patch.. all science ships... best shield levels in the game... 5 of us focused on one ship... not being supported by anyone else except for a few engineering teams... took us 5 mins to take him down and I finally killed him with a ramming speed from my BC. The whole team was using differing target subsystems... which is the flavor of the week for premades... So, now you'll see whole teams of carriers and BC's again... and feds will all use sci ships... I wouldn't call that balanced.
LMAO I loved this part....should make that into a bumper sticker or something.
Seriously.
I don't use feedback pulse and would be more than happy to blow your ship to bits.
Well personally as a Klingon I am enjoying the changes. However, one day after the patch bragging how uber l33t you are now seems a bit premature don't you think? I still use everything you speak of, and quite effectively too. So your claims of no challange and how Klingons suck, well you weren't in the pvp matches I was in last night, because we won. Fact is there are bad players either side, but to champion yourself as you are on a forum, the same forum that you QQ in prior doesn't make you great.
I guess I'm going to have to change my tactics. Because I was rocking FBP3, VM3 AND Subnuc with my Tac/Raptor. It's the super secret Klingon "we have access to every ability no matter what type of officer we are or ship we're flying" bonus. Shh! Don't tell anyone about it, though. It's a secret.
Won 3/4 today before I got bored and logged off said overpowered, autowinning, FBP3, VM3 and subnuc spamming tactical officer in an escort.
That could have been me and I was in a star cruiser tho RowdyRogers and my guy is built to tank/support people's, tho I could be wrong but I remember a BC ramming me to finish me off with like 12% life left when I had 4 or 5 people beating on me last night. you got me in time cause I was about to abandon ship
In response to your polite request of the 29 the empire must reply that it cannot cease its combat activities in the form mentioned. Per the federation contract of 4 years ago the empire in honor bound to ensure the federaion continues to recieve scrap metal untill such time as the debt owed by the empire to the federation is paid off. We of the empire consider it very bad form at this late date to make complaint of the form of delivery for said scrap metal when we of the empire are simply making very minor modification in the federation delivery methods (for scrap) to ensure our own delivery are rendered per contract in a most expeditious manner. Untill such time as the current debt is paid in full we of the empire are honor bound to use ANY and ALL means at our disposal to continue deliveries. We are both fortunate that the original contract established by precedent that there was no limitation for the scorse of this scrap metal and as such we have endevored to convert the greater number of warship hulls in the federation battle fleet to scrap metal to ensure deliveries.. The empire will contunueit record of on time deliveries to federation personell where ever, and when ever we find them untill such time as the full mesure of Klingon delivers scrap metal is full filled.
Thank you for your consideration
annon warrior of the Klingon Empire.
That cuts right to the chase of the matter.
(By the way, concerning to this post your avatar seems to fit perfectly^^)
I would very much like to see you try.
To the Original OP.. what you wrote and those subsequently postings shows poor sportsmanship and lack of respect for all other classes,.. I as a Fed science officer, will not go out my way or even try to help you, with heals or support when you do get in trouble. I hope other Fed Science and Engineering class players do the same, since you rather be the Rambo type and do everything by yourself and on you own, instead of playing with "stupid" sci player or working as a team .
First when did it become not okay to use your class abilities - that like me saying hey tactical.. you cannot use rapid fire, TSS and HY, and Alpha Omega , because that is your I win button, and everyone know that combo is also " I - win " combo - let see how you do without those.
I am science class, I suppose use them, they are one of the few working science abilities that actually do work and give science players a chance to fight back, the rest of our abilities are so non-existent, many of us do not even bother with them . . what are we suppose to do.. toss marbles at you.
Naw - Chronico, its could perhaps had been me
One of my best fight last night was against Blackjack and someone else.. cannot remember, last night, especially against Blackjack , who is very tough to beat anyway.. I got him down to almost like 5%, and I still have twice more shield and hull strength than he did, and he pull this move, that in two seconds I was dead, right before the match end :eek:.. I pm him and ask what he did.. and he would not tell me lol.. but I going to learn and find out
No matter who it is, sound like there was more enjoyment and survivability than previous before that players had pvp. .
