Who thinks the Monbosh Battleship should keep it's cloak?

I know it was not intended - as per Brandons note - but I think it makes this ships super awesome!! - Maybe they stole it from the Romulans?? Or were given it by the Tal Shair?? Which is likely since they worked closely together.

Hi Captains,

In case you missed my other post on this earlier today, the Elachi Monbosh Battleship is not intended to have a cloak -- it will be removed in an upcoming patch. For stats on this ship, which does not include reference to a cloak, please see the blog linked in the OP.

We apologize that we missed this and will see you in-game!

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

    Well they certainly would sell a lot more lobi/boxes if they left the cloak intact - that's for sure.

    Personally - I think it would have been one of the tech's they got from the Tal Shair for their support - so there is certainly a story excuse for it.

    I can understand wanting to keep cloak on the new ship, but think about the implications for the KDF. That's what a Fleet Torkaht or Bortasqu is for. I'd like for those ships and other KDF battlecruisers to remain relevant, and to see more KDF in KDF ships. KDF already looks enough like a alliance random of aliens as it is rather then a Klingon Defence force with all the bugships and lockbox ships you see them using now.

    Well not all of us can move the flying brick(er Bortasqu) as nimbly as Tala can - so?

    Im pretty sure there are a few times in the story when the Elachi ships cloak, or some other form to Evade detection such as the Khimoter mission

    Its a little easier since epte and rcs was improved and dil mine consoles were added. Still though it has to be balanced against other lockbox/lobi ships to, none of them get cloak except Tal SHiar ships and they have worse stats. It has a really high shield mod for ship that cloaks to

    The Mondieu should keep the cloak when the Oberth gets saucer separation. ;)

    Their effect is weird, though. They don't actually cloak, they seem to abruptly fade out of existence (possibly returning to subspace).

    It's a spectacular battlecruiser as it is, it really doesn't need the cloak.

    Since I don't plan to get one I vote "remove the cloak" ;)

    No, it shouldn't keep its cloak. Its OP even without it.

    Its not really a cloak it phases out of reality. Its not really a cloaking device.

    I fail to see the point of this thread. :confused:
    They made it perfectly clear that it's a bug. (or better said, someone overlooked something:rolleyes:) So.....?

    Romulan ship without a clock is no Romulan ship at all.

    It's not a Romulan ship, it's an Elachi ship. So by that logic it shouldn't have a cloak.

    The thread is irrelevant because it's coming off next week, whether you like it or not as it shouldn't have been there to start with.

    Well as they always say - "ship stats are subject to change" even after they are live.

    Just testing to see what kind of support for this there is out there.

    At first I dismissed the "bug" of the Monbosh having a cloak


    But after replaying some of the Elachi missions....

    in the Romulan Tutorial... that Monbosh SPECIFICALLY cloaks and dissappears... There was no "tear in subspace" That's what the later mission in Alpha Centauri Block was about... That's the tear.

    So after having gone over this several times I think the Monbosh SHOULD keep the cloak as a non-combat cloak... after all.... that subspace jump/180 trick they use should be combat efficient enough to not need a direct combat cloak.

    Its should have built in subspace jumper. Same cooldown as a cloak. 15 seconds. Jumps 3k away from attacker. Not a great ability but would make it intresting. It would just make your attacker have to re-aquire target. Similar to a placate or preception debuff. But it would drive the De-Cloak alpha crutch captians crazy. Just picture Wack-A-Mole in space.

    As someone still sore over the Andorian Phaser theft I believe that EVERY mistaken item put in game should remain.

    Nerf the dev who made the mistake, don't punish the customers.

    I am with you 100% on this one - it was a mistake - they admit that - but it takes a huge leap forward if the mistake is positive to say -"you know what - we are going to leave it as is - rather than strip something away - even if it was unintended."

    I would be so proud of Cryptic if they did this - even though I don't have the ship yet - I am building up my lobi. Still hopeful - we have till thursday to see.

    If they do that they should put an Andorain Battle Cloak in the Lobi store for the Kumari ships, and make their turn rate the same as the risian corvette. :D

    The things Cryptic hears is what they think will instantly make them money, not balance or make the game more fun. They never listen to players which is why this game can't increase it userbase for longer than 3 months after a new Season. They shouldn't have nerfed Andorian phasers, there should be a fleet f version of the Galaxy X, they shouldn't nerf Elachi cloak because it is in the story mode. So with that keep expecting people who play a lot to defend these ridiculous patches.

    Well I say it should be left in - its good for them(showing they can make a goof and go with it) and its good for players who buy the ship or will(me)

    It does show the ship "cloaking" in the game and they do work with the Tal Shiar - so a Cloak is not out of line with Cryptic's story line.

    Theft?

    By that logic you should keep the .6 shield mod too. :P
