So the new tactical warbird gets a hanger,making it an escort carrier.While i bought it the day it released(love the design :cool:) and i play all three factions equally,i cant help but think that my Tac KDF captain has no escort carrier,only a big whale of a ship with a thin veneer of "escort" (the karfi).Before my fed catiain could say that the Armitage was unique to the feds.Then came the Jemhadar escort carrier,a fine ship by all counts,one the KDF could lay their hands on,but sadly a lockbox ship.And then the Scimitar.But still my Reman captain could say that its a "dreadnought with a hanger",so its still unique.But with the advent of the Arkif,that argument is past.:mad:
Come on cryptic,give my KDF captain an escort carrier,heck charge us 3000 zen for it,id still buy it.Make it a nice Nausicaan ship or a Gorn ship;we already have many klingon ships and orion ships make me sick:rolleyes:

Our next ship is coming next year. Talk is she's a Cruiser.
Honestly I'd like a Battle Cloaking Raptor or a 5 Tac Console Raptor before I'd like a Hanger bolted on. We still have 2 unused designs that could get the Fleet treatment.
I'd like to see BoPs given a balance Pass since the Dhelan and T'Varo really show them up.
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.
I'm hoping it's a cruiser myself. Since you put the idea in my head, I want it to be a Negh'var refit a la what the Regent did for the Sovereign.
Agreed
Cryptic: how many people play KDF (even after we scammed them about the "new" content) ?
A: not enough to milk them - TRIBBLE them with promises of new content (we lie about it for years, who's gonna notice?)
Cryptic: How many people play FED
A: considerably more - keep dangling shinies in front of the sheep
Cryptic: How many people play our new "faction" ROM which we did totally not recycle from the other 2 incomplete factions we have?
A: remarkably a lot, though they for some reason do not dump as much cash onto us as we'd (and our chinese overlords) like - put a hangar on one of the ships or something
Don't expect respect or balance from Cryptic, in all games they manage(d to botch) the one and only thing they care about is $$$. They reworded the time-old proverb "Don't fix it if ain't broke" to "Don't fix it if it doesn't relate to microtransaction in-game"
All cryptic cares about is money,and as not enough play KDF and they wont send us content.So to make them their precious profits,they would need to milk the existing KDF players more than the others.Anyway,the 500 zen was just to show my frustration,heck if they even put a klink desing in a LOCKBOX,id still buy it!!ANYTHING but this never ending stream of lockboxes:mad:

K'Vort Class Bird of Prey
Negh'Var Retrofit the Voodieh variant like in TNG Final Episode All Good Things...
level 50 players, not just those that belong to a fleet.
There are two K'tinga retrofits for fleet use now, why? How about making the one that is not marked as a "fleet" ship available to Lt. Generals in the C-Store? I know I would foot the bill for one. To many of us, the K'tinga is the Klingon vessel. It's what we think of when Klingon cruisers are mentioned.
And please, I am already active in a Fed based fleet, so making time for a Klingon fleet is out of the question.
Throw a bone to those of use that play the Klingon faction on our own. I'd even go for a K'tinga retrofit "costume" for my Vor'cha, and pay extra for it, or why not have it as an option for us life members?
The Empire needs more ships.
Q'pla!
I agree on both those counts. I want to see the underslung rails/nacelles and the forward disruptor turret from "All Good Things"/"Endgame"
I would also like to see a K'Vort as well. And before people get all worked up, what ship class were those in "The Defector" who came to the Enterprise's assitance?
I could see it being a Feresan (like an aggressive cousin of the Atrox) or Orion (they like the Flight-deck stuff anyway) ship. All would need fleet versions, of course.
But I won't complain if (that's a BIG if) we get a battlecruiser or *gasp* a Scimitar-esque dreadnought.
However, I still need to get that Bortasqu'...
KDF Tac: Bortasqu' Tactical
Fed Tac: Fleet Gal-X
Keep those big guns a-thunderin'
And as any true Klingon warrior knows, the more spikes on your ship, the better...
5 tac slot escort and Escort with hanger.
On the Escort carrier route, I'm kinda of the opinion it should be a beefed up raptor I think.
Orions do cruisers, Gorn do sci ships, Nausicans do the more traditional escorts. Raptor fits the bill quite possibly.
Maybe even a new ship from the Fek'Ihri might suit. Only one type of playable ship from them atm. A miniature Karfi anyone?
R.I.P
To make up for it I did chose to stay allied with the KDF..
Yeah its classic fed side cut and paste and call it klingon. From the current state of affairs though we are not even deemed worthy of a romulan cut and paste though.
If your 3rd point were true, they wouldn't still be using the 'chewbacca defense' as a reason we don't have a full rom faction.
I pretty much agree with all this though.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
I will pay!!!
R.I.P
I don't know if there would be some liscencing issues with this concrete example I'm about to post, but I'd gladly pay 5k Zen for a single beast like this one:
D70
Khin'vagh
Now there's a battleship for my taste!
Honestly, I simply can't understand why is it so damn hard to give the KDF at least one C-Store T5 ship in two years. I feel that Cryptic should really be ashamed of this.
I hope they break that tradition and we see a Orion escort, gorn cruiser and a nausicaan sci ship/carrier seeing as they invented siphon drones.
On the upside, several of the existing ships will get new registry prefix options tomorrow.
My character Tsin'xing
Yes, I too would like some more non-klingon ships also.
R.I.P
My character Tsin'xing
It could, from its sleeknlooks, be a great KDF rom hybrid.
R.I.P
Uhm.....remind me again when was the Bortasqu' 3-pack released? And according to Cpt.Geko the new C-Store ship we were suposed to get this year is pushed back for next year. How many years does that make it? So yeah, 2 years.
But do you see what are we discussing here? We're discussing wheather a faction in a MMO that tries to pass itself as a quality title (at least I hope so) got a single end-game ship in 20 or 24 months. That's a sad state of the things IMHO.
I agree that new registry prefixes are a nice move especially for people interested in RP or desiring to stay in character, I already said this in the patchnotes thread. But by no crazy circumistances is it possible registry prefixes to substitute an actual ship you can buy and use at end game PvE or PvP.
Licensing issues?
Probably lots of them from past talks on the matter.
Wishstone told us y long time ago that they can't use fan designs unless they come from a contest like the one for the Enterprise-F.:(
Yeah I assumed that much, that's why I said something like that and not the ship itself - although it really looks cool to me and I'd love one.
I'd be just as much satisfied with Cryptic's own design of a new KDF ship. While I have very little faith in Cryptic designing proper looking Starfleet ships, I have all the faith in the world in their KDF ship designs. They've proven this before, at least for my taste they have made some really cool looking KDF ships.
My character Tsin'xing
And yes a 5 console Tac ship would be nice as well.
I assume that's because Cryptic with their treatment of the KDF faction in the past made you lower your standards and expectations from them for the KDF.
To me if a developer wants to sell a MMO as a quality title, and I certainly hope that a Star Trek game is suposed to meet the requirements for that, it's absolutely unforgivable to have such huge discrepancies between the factions in game. In a quality game the factions you have availible for people to choose from should be equal on all levels.
Yes the KDF has been largely improved from the joke it was a couple of years ago, but the gap between the KDF and Federation factions is still the size of the Grand Canyon.
However, noone in this thread is whining about the state of the KDF. People are just asking for one single T5 ship in the C-Store for this faction in 2 years. That's 2 years of power creep with nothing to compensate for it. Seen how the ships in STO are the main thing and more or less an extension of one's character, I really don't see how this qualifies as "whining".
