Signed in after a long time just to post on this topic. Must say this change makes me sad. I use the Admiralty system to get fleet dili credits while I do most of the upgrade heavy lifting for my fleet. I'm all out of dili, have been since the Colony holdings were released and I will continue to be for years to come at…
Flight-deck cruisers getting 2 hangers is nice indeed. Might hop back into my Corsair again and give it a whirl. I do wish they'd make a T6 version. Chances of that happening? Slim to none :\
You're not paying that much for the plastic. You're paying for the man hours that go into producing it. $150 to get it painted because you don't have the time, equipment or skills, I'd call that fair. I do wish there was a 6" or 8" option though. What's this introductory pricing discount thing mentioned? Link just goes to…
I do rather dislike the fighter/frigate lock-in that's become the favored way Cryptic releases most carrier pets these days. Completely stifles cross-pollination of carrier builds as often you're stuck with just the frigate that comes with that carrier. If I've earnt/bought a carrier, it's pets should be unlocked for use…
Ahh I see, that's kinda cool. So it's only a major problem until T1 is achieved. That's ok then. Regarding dili. Yeah, but what's new. Just make sure you've dili mine discount, be a gamma fleet in armada, and plug away at it, it'll unlock eventually. So long as I can fill one project a day for it I'm ok. These provision…
My fleet finally maxed out all fleet holdings earlier this year. It was a long slog for our small fleet but we finally got there. Now there's this. Cool. Acquiring these new provisions though seems unnecessarily laborious. Projects are time gated, then on top of that earning provisions for them is time gated and further…
It already exists. Unless you're just wanting a ship with the same visuals/skin and the same name? Otherwise, the T6 Kurak and it's fleet version, the Fleet Mogh T6 already are Vorcha successors. Just like how the Tor'Kaht succeeded the Vorcha at T5. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Kurak_Battlecruiser…
Stats look good to me. The lack of sci console slots (just 2?) constricts build out options, but I'll happily take it. I hope the Cutpurse fighters are as zippy as the Orion interceptors. 100% agree Warbarge dread is my hope :wink: Similar stats to these new ships but with tac and sci boff/console numbers reversed.
Bridges are expensive to make and hardly get used. With many of the people asking for them saying that if it had one they MIGHT be persuaded to then buy... it's not enough to put the time in. And I don't blame them. Most of my ships I've never used the bridge.
I want this too. Sci focused FDC to replace the Corsair. But the "FDC Assault Cruiser" naming pretty much locks in a tactical focus. Will keep hoping and using the Klinzhai until then... Bulbous potato looking ship with turret emplacements all over? Looks perfectly in-line with the thematic stylings of the other Orion…
Well, it's not a T6 Corsair, but I'll take an Orion ship any year. Thanks Cryptic for finally doing one! Hoping the stats are respectable. Assault cruiser sounds like it'll have a tac bent to it after the engy slots. Will be interesting to see how it differs to the tac leaning command cruiser. Why the command cruisers for…
I usually pug korfez daily so am used to what to expect. But Korfez now is basically impossible. Gave it a go after s13 launched and quickly decided to not bother until it's altered. First part is a bloodbath, of human players. 2 players quickly rage quit, I stuck around after dying a couple times. Managed to kite one…
Shouldn't matter really. They could even handle them like some special consoles for alien ships like elachi escort and the support craft, they just warp in, don't "launch" from the actual ship. Prime example of them not caring about pet to carrier size = Sphere Builder Edoulg launching Arehbes Frigates. Pets almost the…
I've been flying it over the past couple of days and haven't noticed this. Will look closer tonight! :) Love ships that get extra animations. Like D4X.
B'rel hanger pets are frigate class. All frigate class pets are bound to their original carrier and cannot be used on other carriers. It's stupid, like fighters being locked to certain carriers or ships by a specific race, but it's just how it is. As a side note, Elite B'rel frigate pets are actually called Qaw'Dun BoPs…
The KDF command cruiser pack should've been Orion T6 ships to continue the FDC lineage. But no, Cryptic went and ruined a perfect opportunity. So here we are. Personally I want a T6 Corsair, love that ships design, but somehow I doubt it'll happen. So instead, as per the image in my signature that I've had for ages,…
Personally I'd prefer to see an EV suit slot. Rummaging through inventory to equip it and when finished finding my old armour again to put back on is just more fiddly than it needs to be. Equip both, when activating EV suit, EV suit stats take place of normal armour stats and "puts on" the EV suit visually. Deactivating…
Nausicaan T6 Gorn T6 ... Orion T6 is next? Pretty please! Preferably Hassaans ship per signature mmk? :) Or at least something evolved from the Corsair. Will be good to fly a Gorn ship again. Haven't done so for yeeeeeaars.
Korfez is not broken. It's an elite queue for a reason. As others have said it just takes coordination and for people to generally communicate *shock* when the Benthan part shows up and have a game plan. There's many viable strategies. But primarily, each player should pick a lane (leaves one as a floater to help where…
Depends how sciencey you want to go. Naj'sov is the only pure science ship option at T6. Klinzhai I adore and usually is the ship I end up going back to, moderate sci available but is engy heavy. Best of the science cruisers imo. Gorkon, versus the Klinzhai it has 1 less sci console, 1 less potential sci boff ability but…
I'd call it less than 50% chance, more like 15%. With Cryptic completely over looking Orion designs for the command cruisers (FDCs, which prior to T6 KDF FDCs were all Orion designed), and ignoring Gorn designs for the latest sci ship bundle (previous to T6 all KDF sci ships were Gorn), the chances of any member species…
Yeah GW + warp plasma works well, and I used to do that, but highly depends on your ship having good general manoeuvrability and speed. As I usually run cruisers with engine power at minimal levels, turn rate and speed isn't something I can rely on. The reversed TBR + plasma warp/theta radiation is something I worked out…
