Honestly, until you mentioned it here - I didn't even see those other posts on the first page.
This really was meant just to be an apology - I mean, I'm surprised I haven't got a warning notification... ahem. Not everybody there was doing it - so I should have directed it at the entire opposing team. I was still ticked off about it when I posted - so that part crept in.
But still, as far as the MACO shields + plas leech - considering that they're also doing away with the 3+1 - if folks decide that 2+1 works for them - fine. I still think the KDF would be more upset about the updated KHG and Feds getting it. I've been toying around with a RSV Torp Boat. Let's look at the RSV and the Vesta.
Vesta +800 hull
Vesta +0.05 shield modifier
RSV: Lt Tac, Ens Tac, Lt Eng, Cmdr Sci, LCdr Sci
Vesta: Lt Tac, Lt Eng, Cmdr Sci, LCdr Uni, Ens Uni
Same turn rate
Vesta +0.01 impulse modifier
Vesta +1 hangar bay
RSV: 3 Tac, 2 Eng, 4 Sci consoles
Vesta - Vesta: 3 Tac, 2 Eng, 5 Sci consoles
Vesta - Aventine: 4 Tac, 2 Eng, 4 Sci consoles
Vesta - Rademaker: 3 Tac, 3 Eng, 4 Sci consoles
RSV: +15 Aux
Vesta - Vesta: +15 Aux
Vesta - Aventine: +10 Aux, +5 Wep
Vesta - Rademaker: +10 Aux, +5 Shield
Vesta: Aux powered DHC
So I picture the Vesta as a torp boat - running with the Fed KHG - with the changes being made to the KHG set. Then add in the Omega/Rom Rep passives. Don't forget the Danubes...
...and it would be hard to complain about the KDF getting MACO shields while having plasmonic.
Part of that's also from some of the discussion I saw about the 125 cap being "instituted" again. Sure, they're going have a much easier time maintaining higher wep power...
...but I'm looking at that +25% torp damage from the KHG, the +33% from Sensor Analysis, 3 tac consoles... I'm looking at the AoE Enhanced Battle Cloak (nifty def bonus making the ADRs even harder to kill) - I'm looking at the Wave-Function which reflects kinetic damage - I'm looking at the 5% chance to proc kinetic damage that ignores shields... etc, etc, etc...
...and I think the KDF have more to complain about than the Feds in this particular exchange.
But hey, I could be way off...
edit: And to be honest, I'm not looking forward to facing that in FvF...meh. Maybe I'll roll a new toon, hang out at Drozana and dance, maybe hang out at DS9 and discuss politics, or maybe hang out at ESD and discuss why Kirk>Picard>Kirk2>Pike2>Pike>Archer>Janeway>Sisko. ..meh.
