Hi,

I have question when will KDF get new raider with flanking bonuses? Cause at this point KDF raiders are totally useless and under powerd from the rest of the fleet.

    We'd been asking about that but I don't think it's going to happen. Breen Raider's been out months now and the KDF BOPs still have yet to get the flanking benefit.

    Yeah is kind of like last year around this time Geko said we were getting a c-store negh'var but that negh'ver happened.

    If they were to ever give the bops a working flanking and fixed the KHG costumes I would be a very happy camper and mostly not have anything really to complain about.

    They were talking about releasing new Bird of prays about same months when we got new raider from Winter event.
    They said they will give all BOP flanking bonuses but that has not still happened so i was just wondering what went wrong and will Cryptic give us that and when ?

    Well since I can only read the Dev Blog in question (number 27) for about 8 seconds before I'm forcibly redirected to the ARC page (great work guys!) I went back and looked at an archived version of the entry in a German forum.
    There's no timeframe anywhere I could find. Not months, seasons or even years. So we'll have to wait and...wait.

    It is the usual status quo with the devs, they don't fix bugs that effect the KDF unless it bothers the Federation as well (see: carrier pets) and they don't add new stuff to the KDF unless it is a knockoff of something the Federation got already. (see: the Mogh )

    To quote the last news from any developer, that being the Dev Blog about the Breen Raider, "eventually."

    Or it got sidelined so they could work on the new money-maker, the Science Destroyers.












    And then they forgot.

    For something so useless it is the most used ship in PvP. It is extremely rare to go in a PvP match and not find one or more being used.

    If a Raider can handle PvP then it should have no trouble handling PvE.

    Except, you know, the fact that pvp and pve are two completely different things. Pretty much everyone KDF side that uses BoPs in pvp, has a battlecruiser, raptor, etc. for pve. Taking a BoP into pve is suicide, and your constant deaths do nothing but anger your teammates.

    Edit: Also, I hate to be that guy, but this really belongs in the KDF shipyards.

    Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!

    I must be doing something wrong because the PvE content is exactly the same as PvP once you can actually fly your ship which is a must with BoP's. I use both a raptor and BoP for the game and although the Raptor seems to dish out more damage, the BoP is definitely more fun to fly. It makes me feel more like a predator than just another mobile cannon emplacement.

    But to each their own, BoPs are not for everyone, know your limitations.
