Caitin Frigate

pattonianpattonian Member Posts: 47 Arc User
A Caitin Frigate.

Most all other carriers have access to frigates.
Hell, even the space manatees got frigates with their carrier.

C'mon show the Kitties some love and give em frigates. :D


Meowwwww,

    This has been mentioned here in the forums quite a few times, and most (not all) seem to agree that given the specs and size of the kitty carrier it should have frigates available.
    Will it happen? I don't know, but I hope so. Love to hear something from somewhere on the likelihood of it happening.

    I can get behind this, and that frigate can be turned into an escort also... and while you're at it, why not give Ferasans their own ships? Evil kitties want love too!

    Come on then JamJamz, as the resident ship dude I task you with filling out the Caitain frigate/escort and Ferasan ship roster! :D;)

    Eh, I live in hope anyway :) I'm sure that you've got a lot to do in making all the new NPC ships and working on polishing the T6 player ships for the expansion... but still, fingers crossed once all that gets done, we'll see it :)

    Would prefer a Ferasan ship first.

    This.

    Ferasan, Lethean and Tellarite Ships are what we need most before we get more (flyable) Caitian ships.

    Wouldn't mind having Frigates for the Atrox though.

    rofl I know that is the truth. You know though that the caitians would get like a whole fleet line of ships like maybe 50+ before we'd ever get one ferasan one for the KDF lol.

    I'd love to see a cat carrier frigate pet. Maybe something with more sci powers than the other frigates.

    What if they made a Ferasan escort ship for the KDF, then took the skin, gave it a "softer" look, and made it a Catian frigate? After all, the Ferasans and Catians are related and would have similar architecture I would think.

    Well Crytpic gat around a fed carrier by introducing a species specific carrier. Then they added battle cloak to its pets. Why not get the best of both words, let's get around the battle cloak the same way and make a battle cloak escort from the Caitians. Then that escort can become the frigate.

    Nah. Caiitians are a more passive species compared to their Ferasan cousins. Anything the Caitians build is going to be more defensive/support.

    Ferasan ship, please! Maybe a tactical oriented flight- deck cruiser or something.

    Since the Caitians got that big carrier I would suggest giving the Ferasans something like the Armitage that uses a regular cloak. I don't think the KDF ever got their version of that ship.

    Not sure where you got that.. both races were part of the Kzinti Empire and were aggressive. Just because they are part of the Federation does not mean they are passive. Andorians are a more aggressive race and yet are part of the federation and the fact that the Caitians still maintain combat ships shows they still have that side of them.

    Only thing is says is the Ferasans think they are better then the Caitians and want to prove it in combat vs there cousins.

    If anything the design of the Atrox would assume that there fighters / frigates (if they get them) would be the teeth of there combat ships unlike like many other carriers that use there fighters as a supliment of the carrier fire power. The Atrox designs would seem to be the carrier is the support for the more aggressive fighter wings. While the Atrox debuffs and debilitates the enemy ships the fighers go in to do the damage.

    You can find all evidence in-game, one big example is the Caitian delegate arguing with the Ferasan commander.


    Modern day Caitians loathe violence.

    Pretty much any Caitian and Ferasan lore is going to be fan-made as that's all we have to work with. The majority of this fan-made lore has the Caitians as passive and trying to avoid conflict.

    Surface tension. A lot of what the Caitian says points to Caitians abandoning their old aggression that the genetically engineered Ferasans retained.

    (And yes, Kestrel put a lot of cat jokes in that conversation, you will see.)

    Out of all the times I played that mission, I've never even noticed a Caitian or a Ferasan. I'm guessing that it's during the conference part?

    Yes. They should be near the front when you first walk into the big circular conference room.

    They'll be flailing their arms around and pointing at each other.

    They didn't, which is weird since we've been asking for it since we got Ferasans, and the Roms got one first. :confused:

    Fan based lore is not canon and is not a valid argument.

    Read: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Kzinti

    Do to copy right issue they had to change the Kzinti to the Caitians and the Ferasan were the Lyran star empire. The Klingons and Lyran made a alliance to destroy and Kzinti while the Kzinti were are war with the Federation.

    After Larry Nivvn asked them not to use his race in star trek they renamed the Kzinti to Caitians and lore wise the Caitians were one of the surviving Kzinit colonys after the genoside inflicted to them by the Lyran and Klingon Empire. They came to the Feditation for protection and turned there back on there old ways as conquerors after what happened to the rest of there race.

    As a species they were as described "The Kzinti were a prejudiced, war-like species who often spoke of pride and honor. Males had no respect for males of herbivorous species, such as Vulcans, or for females of any species. This lack of respect stemmed from the fact that on their homeworld, Kzinti females were simply "dumb animals". "

    So of course they would have to change to join the Federation. There like Vulcans.. they are inherently aggressive but suppress it.

    There ships also fall inline with the Federation vs Empire style.. relying on carriers and missile cruisers though the later isn't in game.

    As far as the Ferasan they were renamed from the Lryan Star Empire that after allying with the Klingons were them self's conquered by the Klingon Empire. They were a cat species that hated the Kzinti and thought themselves superior.
