The kdf ship sacrificed shield mod for the cloak. There is balance.

What are you talking about. The ships are virtually identical.

The kdf version comes with a cloak which is a cannon archetype of ship for the Klingon Empire.

The federation ship got more shields, and quite frankly more firepower that the factions history or backstory warrants.

this game is the most unbalanced game ever, the klingons are WAY more overpowered than the feds, the dev's seem to be giving klinks tech that only the romulans would use, i mean consoles that take EVERY system offline for like 6-10 sec's hmmm vry unfair especially in pvp, and now they have a escort with battle cloak, this is why im NEVER doing pvp vs klinks again and that includes kerrat, not untill the game is truly balanced and stop over powering the klinks with stupid disable consoles, and no im not a classic klink hater as i have a max level klink that i play with all the time, and no i dont have any of the consoles as i dont have any of the klink c-store ships

What console that takes every system offline?

It cant be the Plasmonic leech as it only drains 16 points a system max from the target and only if the target is completely unspecced to resist drain. If the taget is specced to resist drain then the PL only drains about 5 points a system.
The Plasmonic leech was nerfed since the last you played I believe.

[quote]OK.
As long as you take your Defiant against 10 fed ships consisting of Fleet Cruisers, Fleet Science vessels, Fed Carriers (don"t forget the TB pets) and Fleet Defiants (which also get +15% damage from decloaking) and attempt to decloak and alpha strike any of them without dying afterwards.

If you are having issues holding off the KDF attack in PvP then I suggest you are being out played and your fed team of the moment needs to work together better.

Not from what I have seen in PvP. When the feds work together the greatly increase the chance to win and often roll the KDF in the process.

Wow, that extra 1500 Hull makes us OP? doubtful.
Maybe its the -3 points difference in turnrate making the GrandVet reward ship slower than a Defiant?
It must be that -1 to tactical slots. The KDF GV ship only has 4. Thats why the GrandVet ship is OP.

The only way the KDF GV ship is tougher than a Defiant is if the player uses the LTC for Engineering and flies it like a cruiser. You are putting way too much into the battle cloak being OP.
Otherwise the Defiant is still the biggest escort alpha strike heavy hitter and escort tanker in the game.

You forgot the highter shield mod on the Fleet-Defiant.

I fly a Defiant and even though it'd benefit me, I think its important that KDF has exclusive use of battle cloak. They do have a few centuries more experience on cloaking technology.

[quote=bitemepwe;6029741]Yeah, it's funny as hell listening to Feddies whine about the battlecloak. All it does is enable a slightly easier escape. . .and in all honesty, you could use the Photonic Displacement console to have a fairly effective escape route, or you could stock up on Evasive conn doffs and keep out of people's reach. The battlecloak is nowhere near 'OP'. It's useful, that's all. The Enhanced Battlecloak on a B'rel is a thing of beauty, and good players know how to use every bit of that advantage to harass and even kill enemies from cloak.

[quote][quote=travelingmaster;6030801] Exactly!! It helps one flee from a fight easier. If one is already fleeing from a fight then one was losing said fight the battle cloak doesn't change that it just keeps me from dying becuase I can run hide quicker.
So in the grand scheme of things my new GV destroyer is gonna be able to run from a fight as easily as a BoP. Big deal.
How the hell is that OP?



Now this is the truth and had they put the EBC on any ship but the fleet ning'toa I would have complained as loudly as anyone.

To the above.

NO.
