Believe it or not I felt comfortable in it, it maneuvered well, wasn't underpowered and looked great. The Qin tho an upgrade wasn't a huge improvement and required a couple of BOFF retrains to get it working the way the Pach worked for me.

Weird, I know.

Wierd, yes, but I do understand what you're saying!

I had to do the same when I got the Scourge, had to retrain a couple BOFF's to get things just right...

I am flying now a mirror raptor.I would like to fly something similar to the destroyer offered for LTS
(I was thinking very seriously to buy the LTS only for the destroyer but ... )

Some variants wich would make me happy are :
1.raptor with better turn rate than mirror+battlecloak same consoles no special effects
2.raptor with better turn rate than mirror+10 consoles (5 tactical/xsci/yeng) +usual cloak
3.a new kdf escort (not raptor) with 10 consoles(5 tactical) ,cloak and better turn rate
The 5 tactical consoles variants would make the kdf ship a closer match to fleet tactical escort retrofit wich has 5 tac consoles+cloak .
In meantime i gathered fleet modules+zen and wait to see what will new year bring to kdf

One ship that I personally love is the Smuggler ship from Unification Pt 1.

She has heavy firepower and moderate shielding. I think she could be made into something great for the KDF, it's a very unique vessel in the Star Trek universe and could be something made by the Letheans or maybe even the Ferasan.

I always loved this thing. It was a design someone did for a Bridge Commander mod many years ago, but I always loved the lines and how it's like a smaller D-7/K'T'Inga-style. I'm all for a smaller cruiser/destroyer.

Would make an awesome little strike cruiser.

#1 The K'vortcha Class from the DS9: Dominion Wars Game.

#2 The Fek'lhr Class from the ST: Armada Game Series

#3 The K'vek Class (fan Design of Cleeve), see: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com...TNG_Kvek;21662

#4 Kron Class Cruiser (fan Design originally by Cleeve), see: http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Kr...ecruiser;86186

#5 Bekta Class Cruiser, see: http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Bekta_Class;91906

#6 Che'var Class Gunship (fan Design of Avon), see: http://armada2.filefront.com/screenshots/File/87696/3

#7 The Qeh'ral Class from the ST: Armada Game Series

Quite curious, can they use these fan designs or not? Wish they'd create a new class of ship; with all these destroyers appearing have a "Destroyer" ship type. This game could also be interesting with Siege Vessels or ships designed with long range weaponry (Make them Strike Cruisers or something) designed to take on fortified positions. Allows them to create new game modes especially ones with objectives (starbase assault mode anyone?)

Taking idea aside of proper Siege vessels. K'Vort could be remade into a "Strike Cruiser" with a battle cloak, armed with powerful long range disruptors that hit for example, at 15km but are ineffective at short range. Just something that can spice up gameplay thats all.

Here is an answer Cryptic would like.

no!

I think we need all existing made into fleet variants first.

And honestly when they do dangle a new KDF ship in front of me it always makes me spend more damn money! Why not just come out with new C-store consoles? Or some crazy skins that can completely change the look of a ship. Might be a cheaper alternative for them.

I don't think there is one KDF ship i don't already have at this point! QQ $$$$

For me it'd be a smaller, escort-like Orion ship.

Currently, the designs for escort-sized ships on KDF-side are all, with the exception of the Nausicaan destroyer, Klingon in origin. (Raptors, BoPs, Krenn).
