More ugly rumors about ships

SO is it true that the Devs/Cryptic are seriously considering giving widespread cloaking and a Bop-like escort to the feds?
Are you seriuosly gonna pimp out the last uniqueness for the KDF for a quick buck?
Honestly, cloaking for the feds so they can do what Gene thought heroes should not do?
What possible need does the federation, a force for peace and exploration before war, need for a vessel designed to raid colonies, supply lines, plus overall a machine designed for conquest have for a BoP-like escort?
Does the IP mean anything anymore or has STO just become a "feddy wants it and we will sell it to them" cop-out?

You sound like the British Navy during World War I.
Wait doesn't the IP still mean a way to get money for the rights holder
Though I doubt every Fed ship would get cloaking ability as they would probably have to make a cloaked texture for all of them then.
Blurgh. Facepalm. And other negative reactions.
Seriously, if they give cloaking and universal console escorts to the Feds, then stick a fork in it.

I've been getting PMs and a ingame chatter on it.
Like I said rumors and a bad one at that.
Frankly STO has become just a money grab in my eyes and while Cryptic is a bussiness and needs to make a profit, at what point do they stop selling everything they think they can get a bit of money for and adhere to some of the ideology of the Star trek universe?
If the feds where to have widespread cloaking we would have seen that in TV shows and the movies becuase in a real life enviroment cloaking is a great tactical advantage, but in the fictional world of Star trek there is a reason they did not go "RL" with cloaking. To do so tarnishes the Hero image.
If the feds are looking to get a Raider vessel then why? Why do they need a vessel designed to harrass enemies, spy, to disrupt supply lines and attack strictly for conquest?
The feds already have a cloaking defiant, they have no need for a BoP-like escort to fill the role that was never intended for the federation.
Peaceful exploration and combat only when all other routes fail, the hero's role, the good guy's role, the noblier path that they once adhered too but willingly seem to have sold out.

FvF - Some KDF complain and say never as it will kill FvK (but leave in KvK m'kay).. Feds get FvF
Fed Cloak - Some KDF complain and say it is the only thing that makes them unique - Feds get cloak
Universal Slots - Some KDF complain and say it is the only thing that makes them unique (again) - Feds get universal slots
Fed Carrier - Some KDF complain and say it is the only thing that makes them unique (for reals this time) - Feds get carriers
Now a Fed BoP rumor...
Just saying based on my observations since 2009.
Well technically it was a phase shifting device
But never the less

LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
FYI, I no longer will call "them", those who bought Cryptic, by their name. They no longer have the right to be called it.
Of course that different rumor all together.
True, but then why did the feds never fix it and use it against the Borg, the Romulans, the Klingons, etc?
R.I.P
Well they never fixed it due to the treaty of Algeron. But any good diplomat will tell you a treaty is only valid as long as the entities party to the treaty are able to enforce it.
With the Romulans unable to enforce the treaty the Fed could of taken the Pegasus out of mothballs
Executive Officer of Alpha Squadron
That's what I'm starting to think, too. I mean, they're talking about going back to the earlier storylines, could be they're thinking about ending the war and making the klingons same as the FED.
That'd suck. Big time.

Sorry guys.
I want.
An excellent rebuttal based on the setting of Star Trek.
In STO an executive order exists that states that the Federation will not further pursue cloaking, so I expect it still holds true since the KDf still exist plus the remnants of the RSE.
R.I.P
What makes the KDF unique is not powers or consoles but ship designs, uniforms, species and if the KDF had more... stories.
However, people have to pretty much accept the fact that the KDF will never be a full blown faction, this has pretty much been stated since launch. While I agree they got the KDF wrong for not making it a full faction it is obvious that they won't go back and fix it. Given that the Romulans will come out in the next year or so as they have indicated the KDF is pretty much stuck as it is with some fluff here and there.
This competition between KDF and FED (not pvp comp) is really annoying sometimes. Honestly, Star Trek has been and will be about the Federation. Even if they made the KDF a full faction if wouldn't make as much money as the Feds and not be as big as a return on their investment. I don't like it either but they have pretty much came out and said this. So I don't see the point in complaining about something they won't change.
Does it really matter if the Fed gets a battlecloak? As far as BOP's go... they plump when you cook them... I should know I fly one. So what does it matter? As long as they look like Fed ships and not refurbed KDF let the fed have them. It just means that the KDF will go back to differentiating with skill.
True, in the IP, in one of the timelines, the KDF joins the federation.
When has any society that has joined the federation lost thier own identity though?
They all have remained members of the federation plus thier own societies as well.
That is not the case so far with the KDf as the little things that where once a uniqueness to us seem to be slowly sold out from under us to chase a revenue stream.

If KDF players are run off, so much the better. Cryptic won't make as much on c-store gear for us, so why not run off what's left and assimilate the stragglers?
When I see widespread Starfleet BoPs in Elite STFs, then we'll see. Maybe they'll improve KDF BoPs in the process. It's not so easy exposing your hull to Elite-level opponents when you are going in/out of Cloak... but perhaps Starfleet will be better at it than the KDF, am I right?
PvP is dead, in any case.

Romulans have all the cool toys so they can leave the kdf alone.
I wanted BoP, universal consoles, battle cloaks, and (to a much lesser extent) carriers. So I started up a KDF character.
Want it? Play the faction that has it or sit down and stfu.
