Al said they did not go in this at this time due to thier inherent abilities, the phaser lance and siege lance, could not be easily copied over to the starbase system for some reason.
It does bother me though, as someone pointed out, that the Fed fleet looks more rounded out. And it's of course because EVERY non-C-store ship on the Fedside between tiers 2-4 is getting an upgrade except the Tier-2 Cruiser.
Not so with the KDF. I didn't even see a single Gorn fleet ship.
We have nothing. Nothing but our anger. We will take that spark and start a fire which will become a great conflagration!
So to reiterate, both of these ships have consoles.
Therefore I don't understand the rationale on why they are being left off of the fleet revamp list.

Your right, I forgot about the phase thing on the kar'fi, but the atrox last I checked didn't have a console. Either way, its still a head scratcher why they didn't get refits.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="2"]That was brought up in the interview. Short answer, they won't be right now, cause they all look the same.[/SIZE]
That honestly sounds like a BS excuse to simply not put the same effort into the KDF fleet system as the Fed side. A tier 3 and tier 4 raptor doesn't look the same, neither does the tier 4 BoP look like a Ning'tao. Doe the gorn ships look similar? yes but so did the tier 3 and 4 Orions and one's getting a retro. It just seems like a Cop-out to me.

Yeah, just sounds like a "we didn't have time to do it now becuase its difficult" or some such reasoning.
Mike Miller, Dev. I want to have your children < Imagine the avatar with a sexy smile>! I love the new KDF content that much. < avatar winks>. I feel we owe you one for the good work.
No.
Ok, how about some gourmet roasted coffee, whole bean fresh Kenyan?

Sorry, by "both" I meant Gal-X & Kar'fi.
Some real head scratching for sure.
They were working on this, or must have had ideas for this sometime ago - why would you then design a new ship like the Atrox to Guramba to be not only somewhat obsolete in the C-store vs. the Fleet Ships but with nothing to keep that player working toward in the Fleet system?
I'm pretty bummed about no fleet Kar'fi or Guramba, maybe things will change.
More and more I think about it the Fleet Corsair could be interesting...didn't notice till recently it had a lt cmdr science slot...could be fun and has a slightly better turn rate than the Marauder which is nice too!
