Woah Woah Woah hold the phone! You found a Kerrat Instance with 5 KDF players in it?! In Bops?!! My god, that's more than Iv'e ever seen in there! In seriousness, the issue is that the KDF resort to gank tactics when they realise that they are outnumbered, usually by about 4-1. You fight fair, or god forbid try to get some…

Iv'e done the mission about 10 times now. In a Fleet galaxy. I am yet to fail to escape, and keep up with the group easy enough. I dont have a single RCS equipped. If I can manage, you lot sure as hell can. Guys, seriously, stop ******** for five seconds and think.....Is it the mission? Or is it you?
-
Also, in pvp you may as well have a "Shoot me with all the damage" sign on the ship if it's going to be an aoe drainer with low damage output. And in pve? When was the last time you saw a drain ship in an stf? Do they even work at the moment? I heard tac cubes had infinate power, though Iv'e never tested it.
-
Do you have any freaking Idea how annoying 16 shuttles doing temporal backstep would be? Especially if it's the one that freezes other ships. On top of that, your shuttles will be backstepping instead of dpsing, or dying so that you can replace them with more shuttles which will be dpsing. Also, as others seem to have…

On the plus side, it's when most people in the EU are at work/school. Come to think of it, in the TZ you described thats the case where you are too.
-
Quick! Run before the cryptic secrete police notice and make you tell them what it is! They havn't figured out how youtube works yet, so they have no other way of knowing!
-
Lockbox keys got up to 2mill each as well. I'm amazed people are actually buying them still. Since the bugships reapearence, anything vaguely connected wih the c store has skyrocketed in price.
-
The black hole ones annoying because it blinds you utterly for a few seconds, but thats about it. The subystem targeting that science vessels have has little effect at endgame pvp, and in pve i easilly countered. Unlike singularity powers. Thats what this guys getting at anyway. As I stated above, the only power I dislike…
-
I'm sorry, I don't pvp alot, so correct me if I'm wrong in the assumption that it's when you end up with multiple BO buffs due to cooldown reductions that can be fired in succesion. Yeah, the proposals make sense. Don't know about the weapon dissable one is a good idea, nor the one that stops it being activated while…
-
Hey look, barely 5 replies in and we have someone claiming that there super awesome cruiser rocks the pants of escorts! And he gains points for assuming im a new guy, not someone who considers his KDF char(s) his main and has flown hundreds of damned stf's. In short. No. No your bortas isnt beating equally geared and…
-
You are aware that cannons arent what makes escorts good right? And the cloak has negligable effect in pve. EDIT: Sorry, that came across wrong, I shall clarify. Cannons dont magically make a ship good. Nor do cloaks,. My Bortas has both and a quick jaunt over to the KDF ship sub forum will tell you what the majority think…
-
Actually, Gear redundancy would be fine. What little gear is directly purchasable tends to lvl with you anyway, and money is the main reason they are so cagey about raising the cap. Lets not beat around the bush, the reason gear redundancy would be bad is that people have spent frankly mind boggling amounts of money on…
-
See, all I see is "Whaaa. Whaaaa. An enemy that doesnt let me just blow them away with my 1337 Dhc's!".
-
You are aware that being stationary in a cruiser is a dumb idea right? Broadsiding with beams is a far better move as it allows cruisers (admitedly poor) defence to add to the tank without losing dps. Sure, you wont be doing the dps of that fleet defiant, but with points in threat and an embassy console you will do more…
-
Because, canon wise, disruptors won't kill every man, woman and child aboard a starship without so much as scratching the paintwork. The federation finds a weapon that is uncounterable and kills indiscriminately unethical, the KDF (The bulk of it's high command anyway) finds it cowardly. The Romulans, apparently, find it…
-
You know that subnuke only strips the buffs you have on right? You can still just run away, not like they will catch you and start the process again. Subnuke, as he pointed out, has a 2min cooldown. It is one of, if not the hardest skill to use correctly in the game. You have to time it perfectly, otherwise it does almost…

They already can bite.
-
Ah, so we are giving all ships the abilities of movie counterparts? Stf's should get interesting.....Seriously; Go watch first contact. Then play an stf. Ill wait.........
-
Yeah, Iv'e had idiots claiming to have pugged it. Some will realise they were on normal when pointed to the already mentioned dev thread. Others suddenly decide they were in a premade of super awesome players who I couldn't possibly have met or know of. The kind that hate screenshots apparently.
-
You know that most ESTF Boss'/tac cubes are immune or at least very resilient to power drain and subsystem attack right? I mean, you drain off the power, but they seem to have it in an infinite supply.
-
They are a big fleet. A few goons being disruptive in a trade hubcauses folk to think they are a hive minded swarm or something.
-
That thread is a great resource. With that said however, you are wrong. An Equally geared escort (So, t4-t5 rep gear, correct doffs and gear sets) will be able to make a mockery of the build suggested in the OP of that thread, in terms of damage, and will still be able to tank well enough to survive in STF's and other…
-
Yeah, and by inviting people you have had no prior contact with, how exactly is it that you are ensuring quality how?
-
I wanted some because, when the survivors of the end of the romulan empire as they knew it sully the first city with their dirty footsteps, it will amuse me to be wearing the robes of their precious senate. If I could find a way to use it for lavatory paper in front of them without them passing out in the presence of a…

I agree everyone wins, unless the fleet in question is running a recruitment scam, which will happen as more large fleets hit tier 5. It's not hard to take 10mill of some noob and put them on ignore if everyone knows the fleet you are in has a t5 star base. But you would have to be a right goon to do something like that,…
-
Also, if a captain sits there getting debuffed and is not taking steps to find you, they deserver a de cloaking bird of prey up the tailpipe.
-
If you think the decloak alpha strike from a bird of prey is bad you have clearly not been on the wrong end of a raptor, or god forbid a BC.
-
I almos tnever lose agro on what im shooting in stf's, and I'm running a mega tank/low dps fleet galaxy with beam arrays/supporting torps, three lvls in threat control and an embassy console. Either every kumari pilot I have ever come across sucks, or tanking is viable.
-
That is exactly what I was telling everyone I saw whine about the D'Deridex. That a galaxy cruiser with battlecloak was not a thing to complain about, that would in fact be evil. My words fell on deaf ears.
-
As someone whose main is KDF, and someone who pvp's exclusively in a bird of prey, I will say this. Your doing it wrong. Placate/confuse targets, then cloak. I'm aware it doesn't address the cannon concerns, but game play wise cloaking under fire has to be a bit risky. Imagine if hitting that cloak button was a complete…
