Would you care to elaborate on why you feel they should be nerfed? We're all willing to listen as long as it isn't an emotionally based rant that ends in "I keep losing to them in PvP".
I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.
the t'varo light is a versatile weapon like the defiant retro and b'rel/variant ship types. you just need to know how to deal with them by flying them and getting an idea of what you are up against..
until that judgement is made which is not stated from the op end, no, the bops should not be nerfed.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
BoPs are OP, just the other day I was outDPSed in an ISN by one! And it wasn't even running beams - all it had were these tiny green blobs being fired out from its wings. Pls, nerf BoPs so my Gal-X can rule STFs like it should!

You make a good point. I had no idea how good a defiant could be until I spent some time in a BoP and was forced to learn a new way to attack.

even had people screaming in my ear for gal-x to be buffed again. apparently its so slow and clumsy moving the spinal lance is useless.

I totally agree with the OP. BoPs need to be nerfed badly. You see, most of the good pvpers are KDF. BoPs being only slightly underbalanced means that they are still effective somewhat in the hands of a kdf toon which is just an alt of their Fed toon. Therefore, in the hands of a good pvper, they are OP because you just can't slightly nerf a pvp god. So, to alleviate this problem, nerfing BoPs to oblivion and giving them a max power of 25 to all will make it so the hardcore pvpers have to struggle against the fed teams replete with fbp, plasma beams and plasma torp spam.
Also, can you please give feds a super enhanced battle cloak to all of their ships? By super enhanced, I mean that you can shoot, launch torps, do all the sci spam, and even have your shields up while cloaked. This would be fair and balanced.
I disagree. BoPs need to be universally buffed. I suggest granting KDF BoPs, and KDF BoPs only, an ultra enhanced battlecloak that allows them to fire cannons from cloak. I think this would be a good way of bringing BoPs back up to par with other ships, since they are currently weaker than they should be at the moment.
All humor aside (and very good humor so far at that) I'd still like to know the OP's basis for making this request. What precisely is it about the BoP that warrants a nerf?

Successful Thread is Successful, well done OP, well done.
Personally, I think that in the spirit of Star Trek, that all ships should be buffed a lot so that all you need is a hypospray and holodeck to complete pve missions. Pvp should be removed from the game as it violates Roddenberry's vision of finding peaceful co-existance with alien species and ourselves.
I think all consoles should be removed in lieu of a bathroom.
Also, I think it's time BoPs have a 5th fore weapons slot, as well as 5 of each console slot. This would be a step in the right direction of balancing BoPs.
Cryptic don't know how to Slightly nerf, so this will be Nerfed into oblivion like everything else....and rightly so, no one likes klingons, they smell and no one likes Bops, theyre annoying.

My only real objection to the Klingon experience is that they need something more to talk about than honor, lineage, and bloodwine.

I am the one who said to nerf BoPs and said it a chat everyone who believes in this I thank you for saying what's right because in all honesty the BoPs are basic cheats for players to kick the good PVP players' and make them look weak and cause the people to get angry and start a war with them. The BoPs should have a basic battle cloak not a ehanced battle cloak so that way they could rule the roster of the game. Because if they get the cloaks and klingons get the cloaks then how come feds get normal cloaks its plain unfairness and people are gonna quit the game because players can not play like normal people and makes everyone look weak and starts wars

All I can say to that is be glad certain treaties are now null and void allowing feds to have a cloak at all. Considering the Feds just got them in Trek terms it is quite reasonable that their cloaking technology may not be as advanced.

Actually, I'm not sure I agree here. If anything, Bops need a buff. EBC isnt that useful really, I mean, Sure you can fire torps, but torps are pretty useless against shielded targets. What bops need are options, since all they can really do is drop mines and torps from cloak. What they need is a console that can be used only on bops. If equipped on a B'Rel, it returns the EBC to a standard battle cloak, for balance. What it does is allows the BoP's energy weapons match the modulation of their targets shields, so that their shots pass through the shields of their target. That way they can really be a match for their target. Just like in Star Trek Generations. This effect could last for 30 seconds or something. And it shouldnt be cleared by SNB, because seriously, that skill is too OP already. Buff Bops with a console, Nerf SNB.

Ask and you shall receive. Rub the lamp 3 times, click your red shoes together and it is done.
Remember, you must follow the instructions precisely or the wish will not come true.
Fun aside, Klingon BoP can be potent in the hands of an experienced player but then again the same can be said for the Galaxy Dreadnought and nobody is screaming that needs to be nerfed.
Romulan BoP is the same story. Added a base 40 and singularity abilities. No nerf please.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
The ship it self is not op... The skills you can stack on it to insta kill someone and they cannot do anything about it because all skills are shut down that can get a little op at times.
LOL are you freakin serious ... Bops like the B-rel with the advanced battle cloak are more of a nuisance than anything... Sure they can fire torpedoes and mines while cloaked but really unless you are a lame player all they are is a nuisance at best...They are easily takin out once you can actually drag them out of thier cloaked state... Several ways of doing it A sci can sensor scan them and almost anybody can add CPB to their BO skills ... They are visible for a split second while firing ... long enough to hit them with a tractor beam if your watching for them... Once they have been drawn out of cloak they really are no match for any decent escort or catch and hold sci ... I really dont understand the thinking behind this thread ... lol
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Target locked Captain....Alpha loaded....5,4,3,2,1.... Target dead captain, locking on next target

Almost any good escort can build a ship that can insta kill ppl ... sure its easier with a cloak and that dont have to be a advanced battle 1 either just from the surprise aspect of it ...

There is no other escort in the game that can insta kill a good player without the help of another ship. The way you can set up the bos on the bop and bo skills makes it a one man decloaking shutdown instakilling machine. The defiant cant even do it because you cannot have the shutdown skills on it like shockwave ect.
When a defiant decloaks on you you have the chance to hit rsp tac team ect when a bop decloaks on you (if built right) all yous skills are greyed out for a good 5 sec and that is long enough to get off 2 bol 2 torp spreads and a iso which will kill any ship.

Are the 22k hulls too much? maybe a nerf to say 15k hull would be less OP?

I heard the lance has been fixed so it actually hits targets now - maybe not your target but still it's a start.

Once more, for the record: it was nothing personal, it could've been anybody and you needn't feel bad about it.
Next time, if you notice me in time, just sneeze in my general direction and you'll score the point instead.

It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.
