Holy Mother of GOD this thing is busy.
the build is not near optimal
http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=matha_1513
I took it to the tau dewa defense and the thing is a frigging chainsaw. I didn't even use the intel powers.
I barely had to hit sci team, just cycled the attack patterns and facerolled the cannon upgrades.
not I'm off to test drive the battlecruiser

if you park it, you should be able to take out a 600k hull Heg'Ta in 30 seconds or so.

If you don't get it, it will probably be YEARS before there's another KDF exclusive ship.
RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
From what I'm told, IT (intel. team) then the T5 rom rep ability can make it effectively battlecloak. There's also the 5 fore weapons thing. (Thought that might not be your thing.)
There's also this.^^^^
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
This would probably be my primary reason for buying it at this point (and the Qib).
This is as good of a reason as it gets!
Sorry variant37, I can't really tell you anything about the ship yet since I can't get one cause I keep crashing on desktop.
It may sound preposterous and it's a sad reality for us that love the KDF with this company, but what rezking said is actually true - we must "do our share" if we are to expect anything good for our faction in the future.
From what I can tell you as it is - I'll be getting a Mat'Ha cause I wanted a Mat'Ha since I saw the concept art. The ship looks brutal, agressive, very Klingon and that big nose "spinal" cannon just screams "don't mess with me! :mad:". It's also a worthy raptor, finally - 5/2 weapon config, very good Boff seating IMHO.
I'm still optimizing might build, but my fleet mates and I took down a Infected Space Advanced, none of us died because of good teamwork. We completed the mission with 10 seconds to spare, and I pulled 10.5k DPS on its maiden flight, with an engineering captain
In the Undine space battleground, I was soloing a plant killer, took 4 or 5 lance strikes to Pop me.
This ship is everything I wish the Mogh was.

A few people have said to me they thought the ship was supposed to be a glass Canon,
My reply, "Yeah, Gorilla Glass!"
T6 > T5u
While the Vet ships have 5 TAC Consoles now with the KDF & Rom versions with Battlecloaks.
There is no KDF ship at all, anywhere at any tier, that has the Raptor's very TAC heavy layout:
5 forward weapons
5 TAC Consoles
Very healthy TAC BOFF count
LtCdr ENG - BOFF space to make your ship hit harder or more survivable (decent 3 ENG Consoles)
- The Mogh comes close but is straddled with 4 TAC Consoles
- The TAC Bortasqu' has 5 TAC Consoles but is straddled with terrible handling and "only" a standard weapons layout.
The Disruptor Console hits very hard and is more useful now since the reduction of console CDs with DR.
We haven't even seen the Fleet Mahahaha Raptor. My guess it will receive +1 ENG Console Slot.
The Veteran Ships, if you're already a LTS, are a good bargain. T5u is free and that's hard to ignore. However, the Mahahah is a T6 ship with more room for growth and will receive the Fleet upgrade whenever Cryptic starts doing them (and they will do Fleet T6).
...but when I compare it to the Contortrix with its better turn and much better shields I get a little depressed (yes, I know it has regular cloak and the intel officer but still...)
I can't complain about the new raptor since it is exactly what we asked for lol.
Now all they gotta do imo is maybe get us an intel bop sometime and then fix the issue between romulans being able to extend their cloak ambush out so far to balance it out between the kdf for bop usage and then my rants are pretty much done with lol.
I keep saying "I don't need some silly cannon console," then I click it, and change my mind.
I didn't bother with my usual Hazard Emitters/science team combo, took 2 Intelligence skills instead (one of which is just plain HILARIOUS), and seems as tough, if not tougher, than my Fleet Qin.
I even have 2 sets of weapons for it. DHC and DBB (for a "weird" build). I haven't even put the DHC on yet, and it's still LOLfacemelt.
Keeper.
Your Enhanced Bio-Molecular Photon Torpedo - High Yield III deals 146149 (78303) Kinetic Damage(Critical) to Tactical Cube.
Bringing the THUMP, THUMP, THUMP and the BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!
Every time I fire that baby I can just picture a grizzled Klingon warrior wearing cracked goggles, smoking a cigar and laughing like a manic as the ship shakes from the recoil.
does the Peg get 5 forward weapons?
oh, and do not underestimate the intel officer. on the Qib, the lcdr transport warhead is really nice. a transported Tricobalt warhead that crits for 10K HULL dps through shields cannot be ignored.
Generator
I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
No....but it does have a 11 console slots and a battlecloak.
I really need to dig into the intel powers, haven't paid much attention to them yet. Can you use the transport warhead power with any torpedo? What about the Breen transphasics (including the cluster)?
Oh....nevermind. Just saw that power is LTC up. Can't use it on the Mat'ha. Anyway, like I said before, I'll likely buy this ship regardless, if only to show my support for the KDF.
it does not work with the cluster. i suspect any of the specialty torpedos (cluster bioneural hyper beach ball of death) won't transport. gawd if the beach ball did.....
it does work on the Qib tho...
Funny when I play this beastie I have Aces High from Iron Maiden in mind. This is really the Raptor we've been asking for years. Thanks Cryptic!
Keep in mind what you see of the Mahaha is merely the early, non-Fleet version.
What the Mahaha will have over the Fleet Veteran Ship:
5 forward weaps
5 tac consoles
13 BOFF skill slots > +1 Console advantage of T5u. Most esp when the Fleet version of the Mahahaha hits and gets the usual Fleet improvements and the console advantage of the T5u ship evaporates. Then the only advantage the KDF Vet ship will have is Battle Cloak.
Oh yes, you're correct, but you're talking about a ship that does not yet exist. Right now we can only compare the standard Mat'ha to a Fleet-level T5U Peghqu', and I can see good arguments to be made for choosing either ship.
But I'm convinced...I need both the Mat'ha and the Peghqu'. My Gorn will also pilot them both at the same time, like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts_PVB5sR6U
THUMP, THUMP......BOOOOOOOM!!!
Thank you Cryptic!!!! You are getting better with the KDF.
