KDF BoP vs Romulan BoP

Is there any chance we can get a SLIGHT buff to the Fleet Level KDF Birds-of-Prey? They are pretty vastly out-strengthed by the Romulan Fleet T'Varo (24k for the Fleet Hoh'Sus vs 29k for the Fleet T'Varo hull strength).

The Rommy BoP has better hull, shields, and a better cloak, while the KDF BoPs (B'rel, Hoh'Sus) have only a universal boff layout and a better turn rate. I think it'd be fair if the KDF BoPs got something to slightly level the playing field; maybe bonus engine power, or more hull strength, or a better cloak?

    T'varo is a lot smaller too, harder to select on attack and reselect after getting peaced

    A boost to the BoP impulse modifier would be most welcome, especially in light of the new Risan Corvette that will soon be everywhere. Boosting the impulse mod to .22 would be a nice start, and at least allow us to keep up with the JHAS.

    A boost to the defensive properties of the battlecloak wold be nice as well. Instead of just a general defense boost, also throw in an innate kinetic resistance boost (or overall damage resistance boost).

    Considering the Ha'feh's/T'varo's (enhanced) battle cloak and overall stats, maybe not just the fleet level BoPs?

    Comparing the Ha'feh and regular T'varo to the Hegh'ta and B'rel, respectively, those stats seem off too, somehow. More than the Singularity core justifies, as that confers its own benefits, some of which very useful for BoP style vessels...

    I'd say either improve the KDF BoPs overall, now the BC-argument is apparently out the window, as a reason to tone down the other stats, or add a fully fleshed out c-store + fleet BoP (or a good 5 tac Raptor?).

    You forgot to add that fleet T'varo is a Tier 1 Fleet ship, while Hoh'Sus and Brel are tier 4,5, which takes much harder/longer to reach. Most FedRom would have Fleet Enhanced Battle Cloaks ships before the original KDF players. And why does the fleet Brel have only 3 tac console and 4 engy console? It's a raider not a cruiser!!!!

    Not that Cryptic has a clue in what they're doing.

    I find this thread kind of funny because first off the b'rel itself should have been launched to be true to what it is modeled after. On the constructive side though the b'rel needs something like the console set the t'varo has or some tech built into it to give it some of that purple magic of freshness that t'varo has where it has the ability to actually kill targets or atleast damage them heavily enough through shields so that a b'rel isn't just countered by spamming distribute shields.

    Anyways thats my 2 cents on that.
