    everytime i log on my doffs have magically reset themselves

    dev blogs are 502 Bad gatways

    WTF is going on in cryptic land??

    BTW makin people regret spending money in the C-store is a really great business model. Just like when the Nebula C-store ships were converted when the fleet version came out.

    KDf still lacks a single 5tac console raider, and are still waiting for fleet roomba


    LOL! KDF might as well get a fleet roomba at this point because fed ships are making theirs look like vacuum cleaners. I.E., they are starting to suck. :Dhttp://www.irobot.com/us/learn/home/roomba.aspx

    But on a serious note, I know you meant the fleet Guramba Siege Destroyer that was supposedly promised.

    Yeah, it was promissed... more than a year ago... together with many other missing fleet ships...

    Since then we've got... the Fleet Kar'Fi. But we had to build a Spire to get it first, because our T5 shipyard wasn't supposedly enough...

    Well as soon as the 502 bad gateway message goes away on both the browser and Arc I might just be able to read about it sometime....:(

    And I don't care what they do as long as they finally patch in the secondary deflectors for science ships.

    A fleet Gurumba would sell.

    Let the Fed enjoy the love for the moment and keep voicing the desire for a fleet Garumba, as well as other love for the KDF (and Roms if so inclined).

    We can only get the wheels turning if we push and those we need to move our not the fedfans in the forums but the those who hold the budgets and determine if the Devs need to do a thing.

    Nothing new there :P

    On the main issue - this is becoming less and less okay. The lack of dev response on the FPE issue is annoying, and now that we're starting to get some response - it's brusque and dismissive, and they can't even be bothered to post it on their own forums.

    I realize this may seem like a minor issue to some, but what seems to be happening is that FPE drivers are being left with an obsolete ship and forced to pay again to get the new version...of the same ship. As an IRL-poor FPE driver, this is a big deal.

    Season 9 Dev Blog #20



    Patrol Escort Refit: Tempest Class
    Image

    The Patrol Escorts were envisioned as escorts with an engineering bent. The Patrol Escort Refit: Tempest Class improves on those original designs with greatly improved Bridge Officer seating, a 5th Tactical Console slot, and additional aft firepower that will give Tempest captains new options in combat.

    The Tempest comes equipped with a Nadion Saturation Bomb console. Firing the Nadion Saturation Bomb lays down a string of explosive fire that strafes between the ship and its target and then continues to detonate past the target. Any enemy ships caught in the explosions will take severe damage. After detonation, an intense Nadion Radiation Field lingers in space, creating a deadly hazard for enemies. The Nadion Saturation Bomb console may be equipped in any console slot of any Patrol Escort.




    The Tempest Class in orbit
    Image

    The Patrol Escort Refit: Tempest Class also comes with the Aft-Firing Tempest Tail Gun. This unique dual cannon is set up to fire on targets in the rear 90 degree arc of the Patrol Escort, and defaults to the Rapid Fire I firing mode. Like other cannons, the Aft-Firing Tempest Tail Gun can be modified by Scatter Volley and higher rank Rapid Fire bridge officer abilities. The Aft-Firing Tempest Tail Gun is fused to its own slot and does not fill one of the ships three aft weapons slots. It cannot be removed.*

    The Patrol Escort Refit comes with the new Tempest class costume by default. As a Patrol Escort, it can also use costume parts from the Dervish, Gryphon and Hermes class costumes. If you have already unlocked the Maelstrom costume, it will also be available to you. Purchasing the Patrol Escort Refit: Tempest Class will unlock the Tempest costume for all Patrol Escorts.

    Fleet Patrol Escort Refit: Maelstrom Class
    Image

    There is currently a Fleet Patrol Escort available in the in-game ship store if you have a Tier 1 Fleet Shipyard. That ship will be retired and no longer available. It will be replaced with the new Fleet Patrol Escort Refit. Like all Fleet ships, the Fleet Patrol Escort Refit enjoys additional HP and shields, as well as a bonus console slot – in this case, a 3rd Engineering console slot. The Fleet Patrol Escort does not come with the Nadion Saturation Bomb console item, but it does come equipped with a 4th aft weapon slot, fused with the Aft Tempest Tail Gun.




    The Maelstrom Class in orbit

    The new Fleet Patrol Escort Refit will come with Maelstrom class costume by default. It can also use costume parts from the Dervish, Gryphon and Hermes classes costumes. Purchasing the Fleet Patrol Escort Refit: Maelstrom Class will unlock the Maelstrom costume for all Patrol Escorts.

    Thanks for the info since I keep getting a bad gateway error from the actual link.

    This ship is going to put most escorts to shame and some Cruisers has well :eek:

    I'm not big on buying new ships for my Fed Characters but I know that I'll be getting this little beast.

    My question is ........... wait for it......... Where's the new KDF BOP or Raptor that we were rumored to be getting when the Flanking Buff went live for Raiders :confused:

    This new Escort is going to be able to bring the pain of an A2B build in ways that Cruisers can only dream about and I hope that the KDF get something similar in the form of a Raptor ;)

    So with the Patrol Escort Refit coming, are there any more T5 Refits we should look forward to?

    - Deep Space Science Vessel Refit

    - Reconnaissance Science Vessel Refit

    - Star Cruiser Refit

    - Negh'var Refit

    - Qin Heavy Raptor Refit

    - Hegh'ta Heavy BoP Refit

    Will these also follow the similar method of changes as the Patrol Escort? Will there be a Fleet Negh'var and Fleet Negh'var Refit coexisting in the game, with the former no longer available? Should we avoid purchasing the fleet versions of these ships (if they currently have one) until their refit is released, as to avoid any unnecessary frustration?

    Y'know what else would help make things more interesting? How about moving those old 200K Retrofit ships out of the Fleet store and into the the C-Store while we're at it?

    Now that I have a general idea, will all existing Fleet Patrol Escorts get automatically upgraded or will they need to be repurchased? :confused:

    People seem to be assuming the worse on that account.

    Which is, I think, quite ironic. The Devs, to all appearance, are extending out something that's possibly better than what they have, and then everyone is up in arms.

    It's not like anyone actually lost anything. If anything, something they had got even cooler.

    No, the existing Fleet Patrol Escorts will not be replaced by the new one. This is a totaly other ship. Question remains, if you buy the C-Store one, will the Fleet version be one Fleet Module or four ?

    The problem is that it's beginning to look like the thing we have isn't going to change at all, and the New Hotness Version will require an additional purchase, even for those who do already have the Current Hotness Version.

    One module if you own the c-store version. Says in the blog and the copy/paste a few posts back.

    You guys really have to tell me how you manage to so steadfastly reach that conclusion when the vocabulary actually leaves it being the opposite, or just unclear (in which case it's crazy how you all are jumping to conclusions based on an assumption).

    Seriously guys. Reading Comprehension 101.
