Proposal-Mirror Grumba

Just an idea I had for a future lockbox, a mirror Grumba with an antiproton lance instead of disruptor lance.

    Nah, the next iteration of Gurambas needs more improvement than that. At the very least, a 16 turnrate rating (preferably 17), maybe a 5th tactical console (or just an additional console somewhere), maybe a slight adjustment to the Siege Mode so that it's not so crippling on our turnrate and speed, a buff to the shield modifier. . .these are things that would have to be taken care off via a Fleet version.

    Yeah I'd love a Fleet version of the Garumba, I doubt we'll see it changed to Antiproton but.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    They've been pretty hesitant to even release a fleet store version of the ship because it has a special ability independent from a console. So I really doubt they're going to give away a free Guramba.

    lol :D This is never going to happen. They only make mirror ships out of the ships that are obtained for free in game. The Guramba costs 2.5k zen, they're not about to give us the option to get a Guramba on the exchange for 500k EC.

    Confirmed in a P1 Podcast, there will be a Fleet Guramba at some point, along with a Refit-Type Negh'Var.

    Well, they wouldn't necessarily be giving it away if it's Fleet level. Give the usual discount for people already owning a Guramba (making it cost a single fleet module), and tack on the standard 4-module cost for the undiscounted Fleet ship. Should net them a good profit, because the KDF faction is SERIOUSLY in the market for more raptor/destroyer varieties.

    I like the Guramba's ship design, I mean it looks mean, but I'd like to have a Mirror B'rel or Hegh'ta.
    latest?cb=20160406061118&path-prefix=en

    Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.

    What would a Mirror B'Rel or Hegh'Tha change? They have Universal BOFFs and both have 3 of each console so no changes there.

    The B'Rel is also a Z-Store ship so no chance of a Mirror version.
    I'd love to see the B'Rel re-engineered to move that 10th Engineering Console to Tac or Sci to you know be of use.

    I'm not against a Mirror BoP, but what would even change other than the paint?

    I imagine they will release one some day, but that is the explanation they gave till they released the Fleet Excelsior and B'rel.

    Actually, why not introduce more types?

    Give me a Ravager Dreadnought or the Talon instead.

    Seen below:

    It would be awesome to have some of these ships in the game ( with the exception of the ones that already are:) ). The way I see it, the basic models are already in game so that could mean less work for the devs to improve them a bit and release them to the KDF faction.

    That's interesting, but will it cost 1 or 4 fleet modules? I'm so close to buying the Guramba but if they'll release a fleet version and it costs 4 modules I won't have the money for that -.-

    Yeah, They wont make a ?25 ship available for free.

    I'm curious as to why several people seem to pretend the Guramba could be improved my making the Javelin antiproton. I've always preferred useful energy types.

    The Guramba is t5 so it should only cost one module if you buy it from the c-store.

    I fly the Guramba purely on my Klingon and I have to say that many people underestimate the beast.

    The Javelin is seriously a powerful weapon. Strip the shields off a Uni-matrix cigar and use all Dmg bonus buffs you can use on a Tactical officer. It'll say something like 28k to 36k+ (rarely got to 40k+) and that's with Omega perk that goes with some set items. If that thing does a Critical, you can barely reach 100k Dmg if not a bit more..

    Besides, it's Alpha-strike and survivability is simply awesome. I can recover myself from the brink of total destruction, use Go Down Fighting and become immune for a period of time and wait for the borg system to set in.

    I can almost tank a Tactical Cube in eSTF's, but still a bit too slow on my BoFFs skills. (Usings DoFFs to speed up BoFFs cooldowns)

    One thing it could use is more console slots and perhaps a slight boost in hull for a neat Fleet version. But that depends on if you're using Universal consoles.
