    Good! They shouldnt have traits that are comparable to a starship. The raiders are now the cream of the crop.

    As they always post at the bottom of their announcements, "NOTE: The above stats for all ships are subject to change."

    Either way, I wouldn't call the Baltim Raider frigates overpowered. If anything they die more easily and probably that mostly because of Fire at Will. And unlike the very tanky but slow Mobulai frigates (Narcine Aquatic carrier) these Baltim Raiders actually do die and quite often so. They are nimble and pack a punch but die more often instead. I would say they are more glass cannon and I dont mind how they are right now. I like it that they have 3 x arrays instead of a torpedo in the aft which would probably never be used.

    The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship frigate for the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier is in the same boat as the Baltim Raider. They are more nimble but less tanky than the Mobulai frigates.

    Despite all intents and purposes, any hangar pet with Fire at Will is weak because they draw aggro from all directions and die as a result. I am glad they gave the Baltim Raider at least the ability Torpedo High Yield. Otherwise it would have been nothing but pow pow. Preferably I would have wanted Beam Overload instead of Fire at Will.

    Bug Report

    Problem description:
    Both the Baltim Raider and Mir Fighters for the Herald ships have their icons swapped with one another. This is across all rarity levels and applies to both the actual item icon and the spawn icon (in the HUD/quickbar). This also applies to the icon in the Fleet store and the Starship equipment vendor at Earth Station.

    Solution:
    As of now there is no player solution. However, the actual version of the ships are spawned even when the icons are wrong.

    For raiders, they sure are slow. The frigates on my Kar'fi are vastly superior. These raiders, take forever to get moving, and then slowly mosey on over to the mobs... eventually. I really hope the AI of them gets fixed/updated.
