Just hoping it is a pure science ship with a Cmdr sci

Geko says they have partially made one but had to put it off until 2014 sometime.

    I'll believe it *IF* I see it.

    Not WHEN ... *IF* ... :mad:

    Well in 2012 they said 2013 - didn't make that - but I think 2014 for sure.

    What i understood is that we will have a new ship in early 2014 .... during the 4 year anniversary event (what a coincidence it is in early 2014 to :cool: )

    Hmm, thought I'd heard somewhere it was going to be a Negh'Var refit. Darn. Hopefully they'll at least get on with some new fleet ships (I can't imagine why they wouldn't, really, same model just buffed stats)

    It's a Negh'var Refit, therefore it's not a Science ship

    Amen there.

    Negh'var is my personal favorite KDF ship design, but I REALLY hope it isn't another battlecruiser. Unless it is going to have a Cmdr Tac slot on it, it really won't add anything new.

    A Raptor or dedicated sci-ship though...that's different and would be quite welcome IMO.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Actually thinking about it, I'm hoping they'll add the Negh'var varient with the ventral nacelles seen on the original and the Regent's Negh'var (as well as other various future-Negh'var's). With that, I hope they add the Heavy Disruptor Wings Cannons from Way of the Warrior... just sayin :rolleyes:

    Speaking of the Regent's Negh'var, no harm in putting a 2.5km long super dreadnought in is there? :P :D

    A Neghvar variant pack would be cool. Universal Commander slot, a 5-2-3 Engineer version, a 3-2-5 Tactical version, a 2-5-3 Science version, apropiate device slots, 4+4 or even a 5+3 weapons variant.
    Something to give the KDF a Heavy Battle cruiser worthy of the name title heavy. Becuase the Torkie is good but fragile and the BortasQu is not up to the task.

    Its a just wait and see. The KDF had a long history where they kept telling stuff was coming. And nothing showed up. However with the new Season coming out. I can see why they put it on hold. As they are working on this new big project. Once this is done, I'm sure that will give them time. For other projects until another big one shows up.

    I wouldn't mind finally seeing the K'Vort BOP. Since that is the only cannon ship hadn't made it to the game yet.

    Its more likely that after this ''big project'' that another platitude will replace it as the reason the KDF gets pushed back.

    When it comes to KDF news, I'm of a different mindset...

    It's all useless banter until I see something on Tribble. I don't take anything the Devs say as fact because of all the excuses we've gotten over the years. We know they don't like this kind of confrontation, I ask them... just prove us wrong...

    Yep that can very well happen. Has before in the past. With them working on this current project. They are possible putting a lot of other stuff on hold for now. Which is why when KDF or anyone gets something. That is when we get it. Cause fussing over lack of stuff didn't matter much over the years. Look at what happened to KDF. Just don't get hopes up. It will come when they want us to have it.

    It's kind of scary that people are happy we might get a new ship.

    Imagine if your Boss said we might pay you next week but this week we're looking at painting the offices so it's not going to happen.

    You'd be furious, you'd be demanding your wages at the end of the week like always or their getting sued. What the hell do you mean might.

    Now this is a game and a lawsuit would be frivolous and pointless and the EULA you agreed to just to play this game would defeat you before you started.

    It wouldn't be so bad if they said you will get a Fleet upgrade for a ship (Garumba or Kar'fi) with Season 8 and a new ship at the start of the year.

    But at least we're getting new content which I think we need more than a new ship.
    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.

    Not to be negative, but I will believe it when I see it.

    In the interim, I will just keep killing Kumari's for kicks until my point gets across that, when releasing a ship design, especially a three pack, there is no excuse for not giving something counter or equivalent to that release for each faction.

    The KDF will see a new ship in 2014 if we're lucky. If we've gotten another one by 2015, consider yourself very, very lucky. Don't hold your breath people.

    We've been hearing this for a while now.

    I work 40-50 hours a week while on casual rates, I have money to burn but nothing to spend it on. Angry customer is angry... At least give us a TRUE Klingon science ship and shut us up.

    Until then, I'll just keep on spending my money on bottles of Jameson, live gigs and my girlfriend.

    Didnt DSthal learn anything from Zynga? KDF is a cash cow waiting to explode.

    K'Vort class battle-cruiser
    A Lethean ship (since they are intelligence merchants and telepathic spies I would want to see a sci/'scort lean to this with powerful sensors and the ability to match shield harmonics, maybe)
    Ferasan Escort Carrier (to give the KDF a cross between the Atrox "kitty-carrier" and the Armitage)

    Any and all of these should already be in-game IMO but the "add more Romulan tactical ships and give them hangars so they sell" mentality seems to be in the way.

    As Roach said while back - there is no use being negative any more about lack of KDF stuff - as it serves no purpose. But this time you can be a bit happier than before as Geko said the ship was half done - which does not mean it gets released - but I bet it is half more than was done in the last 2 years:D

    I really think the KDF needs a sweeping review of the Raptor, Destroyer, and BOP lineup. All of these have been left behind even as far back as when the Fleet Ship / Starbase System was implemented. Fed ships since then have statistically been quite superior in these departments. Now with the Romulans, who even surpass the highpowered Fed Escort lineup, KDF equivalents are even further behind.

    An update to KDF ship types that I listed is really needed.

    Now, something else to get you thinking even more is this:

    With the recent Romulan Tactical Warbirds, which a number agree is quite lackluster, Cryptic, just 1 week after its release, enhances the ship even more by introducing a hangar. Not even the Feds got that kind of babying, much less the KDF. Just 1 week, they decide to improve the ship even more. This is after complaints of existing Fed & KDF vessels over the years never receiving tweaks, yet the Subfaction Romulans, got an improvement to their 1 week old ship.

    I can agree the KDF needs a sweeping review of the viability of those ships. They have certainly been left to lanquish.

    Some people have said this ship will be a Negh'var refit. What is the source for this claim? AFAIK the devs have confirmed they are working on a 'new' KDF ship. New could simply mean a new skin for an existing model remade for refit purposes (like the Regent class did for the Sovereign). Or it could mean a totally new ship (like an escort carrier hybrid, something which the other two factions now have).

    As much as I'd love a Negh'var refit, can someone actually provide the clues that point to that?
