SRSLY, Cryptic?

Birds of Prey are hugely neglected in this game but I love them. I love them so much that I bought the Tier one BoP and the Tier Six BoP. That means I have the Stealth Fighter Set.

Now after quite a lot of grinding and selling a bunch of keys I finally own the D4X. And what gives? I can only fit half the Stealth Fighter set on it. Come on Cryptic, I know BoP's aren't your best selling ships but give us some love will ya? Let me please equip the Quantum Warhead module on my D4X. Who knows, it might even make you a profit by selling more keys.

And don't go telling me it would make the ship overpowered, all BoP's have paper thin hulls.

    Half the set is allowed on the ship, so your argument is moot.

    I have no high hopes for my request but fortunately you are are not Cryptic. Good job on being another gamer who immediately resorts to degrading words when someone asks something that you disagree with. Very civil.

    You may not like his wording but he does have a point. All consoles from store T6s can only be used by them or direct family members (like the 3 pack bunches). Nothing to do with being a raider or a kdf ship that's just how things go.

    Not sure you're even talking about the right ship here, especially since you somehow roped the romulans into this.
    It's got 6 weapons, all universal seats, 5/3/3 console layout, battle cloack, raider flanking, lower hull, lower shields, high turn rate. Just because it dosen't have the B'rel's/Kor's EBC dosen't make it not a bop, none of the other kdf bops have it like the Norgh or HoH'SuS but they are still bops.
    The reason it looks nothing like a prime bop is simply because of how they were redesigned for the movie (and there it was also only a shuttle sized ship).

    Splitting hairs a bit here, but it TECHNICALLY isn't a Bird of Prey. It's a Pilot BoP, which is conceptually a different class

    It is a vaper, alright. I own a D4X. Like it alot. Very fun to fly. But the D4X isn't a BoP. BoPs have Universal seating for all stations. D4X does not. So it isn't a BoP. And calling me or anyone else names is not going to change this, OP.

    note the seating. 5 seats, not 4. it's a 'raider' but it's not a "bird of prey" in the same sense that a B'rel, Hoh'sus, Fleet Norgh, Kor, B'rotlh, Hegh'ta, etc. etc. are. The layout's specialized, the consoles are as well.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Mirror Ki'Tang BoP only have 4 seats? Commander, 2 LTCs, and an ensign seat? All are universal.

    If the ship gets the Pilot Maneuver buttons....it is a Pilot Ship.

    Not to be confused with one of the older classes of ships.

    pirate has always stacked ever since they fixed it back in LoR to actually work

    and by the way, you responded to a necro post​​

    if pirate didn't stack, having 4 on my ship and removing one should have resulted in no change to damage on the weapons of the ship i was testing...yet when i swapped one nausicaan out, my DHC damage dropped from 1577.1 to 1555.7

    pirate stacks...and yes, i was well away from other people so no sudden application or removal of buffs could skew the results​​
