Console - Universal Heavy Disruptor Spinal Cannons
Overwhelming Force trait - Beam Overload attacks will create a reduced radius Charged Particle Burst at the target's location. Your High Yield Torpedo attacks will create a reduced radius Photonic Shockwave at the target's location.
Slightly let down by a turn rate of 15... but with that much firepower who's complaining. Thank you Cryptic for putting a Klingon ship, however briefly, at the top of the firepower tree!

A bit heavy @ 6.5* per second, but DAMN- a LtCDR TAC and SCI ?
:eek:
KDF MUST have THIS !

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

I think the Mat'ha just switched my main from battlecruisers to raptors. This ship will be a perfect fit for him. I'll have to assign one of my other Klingons to be the battlecruiser char from now on.
Ditto, and with that Lt.Cmdr engineer station It will be reasonably durable as well.
Looking forward to the fleet version already lol.
This ship is wicked sexy, and INCREDIBLY powerful.
Looks like all of our complaints about KDF firepower parity have been answered! This thing is going to beat the everloving cr*p out of that wimpy Phantom, and pretty much anything short of an upgraded Scimitard.
Plus, it looks REALLY good.
Definitely buying this.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
The Console's amd BOff's are good, and i did expected a 5/2 layout which i was right.
Despite the overall impressive offensive firepower of the Mat'ha, it shared from the some outdated previous raptors stats of a lower turn rate compare to Fed Esocrts (15 on Mat'ha) which can be compenstated with Fleet Eng or Universal Consoles with [+Turn] and from Rep/Personal Traits. it still has a slight inferior Shield Mod (0.85 ~ Tier 6 Fleet 0.95) to many Fed Escorts and also Romulan Esocrt Warbirds.
If they made a Romulan Warbird with the exact combined Consoles, BOff's and Weapons setup as the Mat'ha i'll bet u that Cryptic will give a Shield Mod better than 0.85 on that of non-Fleet Raptors, giving the Escort Warbird Shield Mod around at 0.90-0.95 which is common on non-Fleet Esocrt Warbirds all while having a Battle Cloak while the KDF Raptor have only a Basic Cloak with weaker Shield Mod... despite this disadvantage on Raptors, i still believe the Mat'ha is still worth getting for it's sheer firepower.
Agreed but I'd even take the Mat'ha if they swapped out the Lt.Comm ENG to a Lt.ENG
and upgraded the intel slot to Lt.Comm SCI/Intel with the consoles at 5 Tactical, 2 Engineering, 3 Science
... then I'd be a lot happier SCI captain ready to spend some money.

Kill me now. ;_;

I will probably be waiting for the next BoP though. If I have to have only 2 rear weapons, I'd rather have a smaller, faster ship with battle cloak to do it in.
"There... are... four... lights!" ~Jean Luc Picard
I read them, expecting the KDF Raptor one to be underwhelming. Much to my surprise, even though it only possesses standard cloak (which nobody gives a **** about once the shooting starts), it is hands down the best of the non-Intel T6 boats.
5 forward weapons, 5 TAC Consoles, moderate turn ability in line with Escorts, LtCdr ENG while still having enough TAC. The consoles seem to synergize with what the ship is about, unlike the other faction ones.
The KDF ship is clearly better, which is a rarity. Not only that, it looks more like an evolved Vor'Cha. This ship should sell very well among the KDF playerbase and will be FOTM for a while once released. On top of it all, it's a faction ship that can perform, so the TAC-centric KDF players out there can finally fly a... you know... Klingon looking ship for once that can perform with the best.
And this is the store version of the ship and not the Fleet version which they said will release sometime after DR goes live. So expect to see the usual boosts that a move into a Fleet version gets.
LOL! Then put your Omni Disruptor in one of the forward slots
im just thinking its time to drag that old honor guard set out. with the quantum sig manip cloak. and mask energy sig possibly fluidic cloak escape console . should be able to pop out of cloak take out target and get the Frak out of dodge in one piece. then rinse and repeat.
and with honor guard set get the torp buff ,which unless they fixed the 5 cannon stutter will probably be needed. and wanted with the ship trait.
i do find it interesting that the ship trait has nothing for cannons. only beam and torp.
BO gets an AOE upgrade and THY gets an AOE upgrade.
I do think we got a little shafted with the speed and turn rate, Klingons, the faction who have the best handling cruisers and the best handling ship in the game (BoP). Only seem to make slower Raptors than their Fed Escort counterparts.
The Shield doesn't worry me, but I think 150 crew would have been better. The big question is what will those Console Cannons be like?
I'd also have preferred a Lt.Com Tac to an Engineer.
On the Romulan Aelahl and the Fed Guardian I think they knocked it out of the park, the Raptor not so much, but they completely borked the Dauntless IMO. Already 3 Fed Threads asking for improvements to it.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
I always had a soft spot for Raptors I just didn't utilize them much because they lacked......well, everything. The Mat'Ha changes this, let's hope it will push a new era for Klignon Raptors and bring them back to their rightfull place in this game.
Correction - even an upgraded Scimitard doesn't stand a chance from a suprise attack by this Klingon embodiment of pure destruction. Especially if caught by suprise or from the rear.
But yeah, it's wicked sexy. That nose spinal cannon looks awesome! Cryptic has a habbit of always nailing Klingon designs, every single one looks epic. And commeth the Mogh, and now this - it seems they're finally staring to nail the setups KDF players prefer on their ships.
Oh...and wellcome to the dark side, Lu.....Worf....fan...
Clearly you mean Gre'thor.
even the most anti-federation klingon will give credit where credit is due when facing a true warrior
unfortunately, there are very few of those left in the federation these days...they're either annoying loudmouth peaceniks like sugihara; irritating, incompetent buffoons like kurland; or vicious, honorless terran empire clones like...well, the majority of starfleet it seems

Don't forget the short duration cloak of Intelligence Team in your Science/Intel BOff spot, if you put a Science BOff in the Uni Lt. (or go without Science proper), you could have two copies of Intelligence Team which should be 15 second global.
Well, this and the Qib are buyers for me; luckily my main alts are Klingon Tac and Eng, so it fits perfectly. A T6 KDF science vessel for my Sci would also be welcome, but please make sure it's as good as the other two
I never really had a soft spot for Raptors.
When STO released, the TAC & Alpha strikers were flying Hegh'ta BOPs. Still, you did see a lot of Raptors back then but I wasn't one of them. I either flew a Vo'Quv, Vor'Cha, Negh'Var, or Hegh'ta.
I disappeared from the game for a long while. When I came back, I got familiar with the game again and took my Klingon into Arena. Flying my old Qin Raptor.
I ran into a ship I had never seen before, but knew very well from watching DS9. A JHAS.
I'll skip the gory, hilarious details of that fight, but after that horrible experience, I never flew a Raptor since then. The new T6 Raptor will change that habit.
