kdf wins, the other factions win with a new gameplay mechanic to help the ultra fragile ships,
and the aquarius loses...
anyway, this is what you need to know about the breen ship, and the flanking
The damage buff granted from Raider Flanking is similar to that gained by powers like Attack Pattern Alpha and will have a greater impact on your damage than say a Tactical +damage console.
The Plesh Brek's flanking bonus damage is +33% versus NPCs and +11% versus players.
Klingon Raider's flanking bonus damage is +25% versus NPCs and +8.25% versus players.
the aoe placate console does not make you invisible to those that it effects, they just cant target you.

It's not going to be a change in the way I play overall, mind you - it's just too much fun flying around with Willard and being a Rat. :P
But yeah, I haven't flown a ship in that manner in over a year...will be interesting to see.
I'm as fail as you, and I can do it.
At least my Hohsus will be fun though, haven't used it much since double tap nerf.
flank this mofos!
u sir are epic hero of the empire! doin it and doin it and doin it yeah!
It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
its a high risk, high reward type of thing
Am I doing it right? :P
Oh well, as a Norgh captain, I will be happy with the boost.

To those of you who say that there's too much crew on it to be a fighter or that its too large I say, you obviously haven't been doing fighters right.
Long time BoP pilot here. I seem to have a redundant Ensign situation here. MES anyone? :P
Sillyness aside, would the Romulan captain and boff traits buff MES1 to a level that's actually useful?
I know VD did some MES/Romulan maths, but I can't find it anymore...
Not really.
MES 1, even with 135 Aux, a Stealth bonus from a BOFF, and max stealth in your skill tree will still let you be seen from pretty far away.
It can be good if you are wanting to at least prepare your alpha or just get into a good position, but it's not super-effective.
Havent really ever used them myself but is JS1 or SS1 an option?
R.I.P
Jam and SS are good choices, especially if you have both consoles equipped, as you get a nice boost to your Countermeasures skill, which improves the placate effect from the Plesh Brek's console. Add in one or more CMS consoles (including your spec if you choose) and you can get a pretty impressive SS 1 or 2 going.
Also, JS starts at ensign, SS starts at lt.
I've tried running them in the past. They will help against most players running most ship types. But get even a decent sci ship running moderately high aux and the tier 3 Nebula console, and you will quickly be seen and most likely de-cloaked. Sometimes a person doesn't even need the Nebula console.
Better off using your sci consoles for something else of your choosing.
This. I fly exclusively BoPs in PvP, and I use my sci slots for field generators (to compensate for the low shield mod, etc) and my Assimilated console. Maybe 2 Field Generators is a bit much, I dunno. If they released a shield resistance boosting console, I'd put that on in a heartbeat. More shield HP doesn't keep uber-powered players from flensing the shields off you. As it is, the Field Generators are the only thing I can think of. Every other console for sci or eng just boosts hull resistance, and I already carry 1-2 neutroniums.
Thanks guys
It was mostly idle curiousity, tbh, but it might've been funny if it worked. Never used MES in all this time. But definitely sounds like countermeasures would be the way to go, then (or just a second EPtX and slugging it out, for that matter).
Depending on your choices, you can't go wrong with an EPTW 1. It's a nice boost in damage. Or of course, the previously mentioned other abilities.
It's a shame MES isn't useful. I know it isn't meant to be a way to obsolete a cloak or anything, but it'd be nice if it was actually worth using.
It really is. I might've considered it for a Fed offensive sci build, otherwise, maybe. Dunno. It could've been a fun skill to get a tiny tactical advantage in positioning or something.
As for the Breen raider, I might not actually get it on any but 1 or 2 of my characters. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for my Fed's with the (fleet) MVAE and Defiant available, or my KDF's, with access to all but the fleet B'rel. Might be an interesting alt ship for my Romulan tac, offering a warp core option, though I doubt it'd be a good rival for my fleet Dhelan. We'll see.
Lol wonder where you got that from.
I wouldn't count it out just yet, however unfortunately countering it is woefully easy. Sci ship + high aux.
Still I can see VD testing it out a bit more than I did last night with pokey but like I say, I wouldn't count it out just yet though it is so very nearly useless.
