Shuttle Balace

So I noticed a little shuttle balancing issue, a few Starfleet shuttles have two BOff slots. With shuttle PvP coming (fingers crossed) I have concern that the KDF won't stand a chance. So here's my idea for the KDF's very own C-Store shuttle! Laneth's Starship. How about En. Tac and En. Uni. with +10 to weapons?

    Unless there is a shuttle only PVP war going on I don't see why that would be necessary. You can do the Vault with half a shuttle and without BO skill if you simply avoid the escort when you "escape".

    I rather like to see a real Klingon Science Vessel before I want to see a shuttle. Shuttles are nice to take out for a spin around the block but thats about it I would say.

    "shuttle pvp coming"
    Those three words should put everything at ease for you.

    has an actual dev said that will be something they plan to do.

    if it is then shuttles probably do need to be balanced, or at the very least plenty of different versions made to match the delta flyer level. (type 8 should never be as strong as a flyer for example).

    if its not something they plan to do, then i dont think they need to worry about balance.

    Yes. They even talked about using the Vault interior as a possible setting.

    Both factions are supposed to be getting fighters together, which is something at least. Maybe the klinks will finally get their Detla equivalent then, too.

    Wow, I don't think I could imagine a worse map for anything, let alone PvP.

    In the new Ask Cryptic

    8. DominikScholz - Q: Will there be something like Shuttle PVP?

    A: We are looking at possible maps from Feature Episode series that we can convert to more PVP maps and one of the top contenders is the Vault interior. If we did that, we could easily envision a shuttle pvp scenario.

    If they are going to use a pvp setting from last week's episode they should use the ground map from cutting the cord. Not like I ground pvp, but for the few people who do it could be fun. Otherwise if you want a shuttle vs shuttle pvp just make a LT and start pvping, because it's about the same thing.
