Overpowered enemies

I noticed some enemy ships, like the Kazon carriers, and hierarchy battleships seem too strong. The carriers can be defeated if you do it right, but I think the battleships(like in Orendal system) should not come in two's.

As far as ground goes... kobali ground is actually pretty fun at 55, and an utter face roll at 60. Your mileage may vary I guess.
If anything maybe nerf the hp #'s slightly to speed up the fight.
I have heard the AI spams aux2damp and starts off with RSP all the time, but if you used some sci skills instead of relying on the good old spacebar FAW spam fest, you'd do better.
I'd love to hear the opinion of a good PvP player regarding NPCs instead of PvE heroes hearsay.
However, pve folk are kinda right here, some of the new ai skills (they repeat a2d and rsp if they're alive too long, the malon endless theta spam is literally rage enducing when using tbr for obvious reasons) just make the fights long and tedious vs cryptics usual quick and kirky.
Their dmg is no diff than any other pve in the game though.... its just the length of fights is signficantly longer thanks to hp bag inflation + npcs using skills that actually buff their resists instead of using cannon rapid fire without having any cannons >.>
Experiment with different weapon types or builds until you gain a foothold on the new combat.
And as for the PvP'ers...I have absolutely nothing good to say here so I will say nothing at all. As the person who invented AFAIK, I can say with some good ground to stand on that I see a dumbing down of things on the horizon. Why oh why do we always have to devolve to the lowest common denominator?
I'm realllllyyy not trying to troll here. I'm just getting a bead on how things usually tend to go when something or someone becomes hard to kill. nerfnerfnerfnerf whoooot! nerfnerfnerfnerf allaboard! get your tickets ready for punching. tickets please!
Those carriers only have ~250000 Hull, so they aren't that tough. However they will need new tactics to combat, and as mentioned, you can't just be a Spacebar FAW spammer.
I agree. I can't tell you how many times I was frustrated to the point where I just had to give up for a while [I eventually tried it again, however, but it took the same amount of time, but it was still frustrating]. Even with Fleet Support II, I had multiple issues with these ships. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels these ships are way too powerful. In my opinion, it shouldn't be this difficult on NORMAL Difficulty. Advanced or Elite I could totally understand, but not on Normal.
I can't tell you how much time I've lost trying to eliminate those ships. I'm not saying make them super-easy, but super-difficult, to me, isn't the best way to go. If you want to make both sides happy, at least give us the option to scale the ships down in difficulty. This way, the side that wants it very difficult can have that and the side that wants a challenge, but doesn't want the frustration that goes along with it can have that as well.
I haven't faced them on tribble and i am a pve guy so take my advice for what it is ... so, let's say you are a tac driving a faw beamboat ... RSP is not eternal and its cd is not short, so check the tiny icons under your enemy picture... restrain when you see the RSP icon... as soon as it ends, go alpha and throw everything you got ...
A2D? where's the problem? I don't think they have the aux2D doff, do they?
Theta radiation? I have never confconfronted an npc spamming that or i just don't remember ... guess i would go like for RSP...
just a quick plan made on the spot
If anything I would say, that on "Normal" they need a bump in damage output ...
Glad the AI is getting better.
Personally I hope that they at least try to compromise somehow so both sides are happy.
You are not a trekkie, are you?
Because ... the Kazon OP? Don't make me laugh :P
if its simply a dps sponge, booo.
it would be pretty sad to see the kazon of all people be the first enemy that wasnt a faceroll.

Well this is STO, The Jem'Hadar attack ship is one of the strongest ships in the game... It's like Star Wars making the TIE fighter the strongest. So yes I see the Kazon being OP. That's your STO devs for you...
LOL's all around.
Mostly DPS sponge. AI gain stuff like RSP and A2D, but they don't know how to use it so its negligible.
This is CrypticVerse
If you can't dodge the GIANT GLOWING FROICKEN X's, then you should take up knitting or exchanging stories with Morn on DS9.
...
The enemies are a bit of a "DPS" Sponge though, I have to admit, and realistically they really need a buff to their damage output or at least some nasty "Spike" hits of some kind every now and then (like a CRF or BO hit) just to keep you on your toes, otherwise it's just a circling BFAW spam until they're dead..
Flying a Tal Shiar Adapted Battlecruiser @T4 Ship Traits, with all + Res and + Hull Buff's that gives, it's virtually invulnerable to Hull damage, and very tough against Shield damage.
They are easy enough to dodge as long as they don't use that cheating "anchor" beam, that acts like a tractor but cannot be countered like a tractor, at the same time.
I love staying in Donatra's or the CE's blast area and using the Voth shield. Instant damage return.
Sounds awesome.
^this ...^THIS, with bells on! ...
What you actually have to ... Think ... to fight these enemies? ... What, you actually have to set up your ship as something other than a one hit Vaper? ... Oh, the humanity!
Slot a "Science Team" somewhere in your build ... Fixed
Slot an APO or RSP somewhere in your build ... Fixed
Look at the screen, and don't just fly in a circle spamming the spacebar ... Fixed
