the only power drain escort i run into that drains me to a significant level for more than 2 seconds in a kdf with leach plus polorons and sometimes they drop a assimulator that will take me to 0 i have 9 in insulators plus a console that gives me insulators and my deflector does to, Fed with just poloron are not to bad. Put all this bs together though yea op crap lol.

Got totally slaughtered by a Orb Weaver yesterday with this build, I was in my Khyzon and as an engineer with access to EPS3 and RMC it made no difference as I sat watching my power levels drop almost to zero and as he hammered me with full power DPS beams. I thought this BS build was over with the nerfing of Siphons but now it seems even escorts can do it.

Yes every KDF PvPer has leech, it is regarded almost as important as carrying a shield it's that good. End result of the encounter is to not bother fighting as no matter what I tried I couldn't scratch him, on an 8400 DPSing Andorian, sucked dry with his leeching and the ever present acetons which also piss me off. Where in the TV show did acetons act like they do in this game?

Either make insulators work or seriously reduce the drain in the game.

Power drain as it is has been nerfed near oblivion. Ever tried to suck a Cube dry? Ganted, it wont fire on you, but even with ES2+TR2+TS2, which on a sci ship is a hellish combi (or should be), you wont see results.

But it seems the polaron proc isnt reduced by power insulators. The proc alone can make a cube drop its shields.

Why are you trying to nerf something that's already been nerfed to oblivion once before?

Oh look a KDF whinner scared of losing his toys. Have you even bothered to read any of the posts above? There is an issue somewhere, it's nothing to do with siphon drones, please read again, it only seems to be with KDF players so therefore there is a good chance that the combination of lolarons, leech and aceton are totally OP and basically can totally shut down the target. I don't care if you are KDF or FED, if there is a build that exploits bad coding in the game it needs shutting down, and you had better believe it will be, so stop whining and start testing to find out what it is.

you guys came here complaining that something is off, no actual proof, just acusations that "waaaaaa i have no power evil klingons waaaa" maybe you should do some testing and bring the proof?



now now havam, you should no better then to argue with fedbears.
after all, kirk was one himself.




if polaron proc isnt reduced as you claim we need actual testing on this to see if its a specific combo of things or if its something else entirely.




im personally still wondering what the op was talking about that an escort has to drain power better then a science ship, the only possible thing is target subsystems 3 but thats reduced by power insulators.

the only other other thing i could think is maybe leech got broken again in a recent patch? can i get a klingon to check that out for me?

You really cannot read can you?

Let me spell it out for you in big easy to understand language in a pretty red colour just to get your evil klingon blood boiling over a bit more:

one ship, that is not more than one and not less than one, ONE. It was an orb weaver, it drained me to almost zero power. I doubt you will understand that and even if you do your will refute it. I play KDF too and of course I have the leech, name me one PvPer that doesn't? This is about a build that is available that is massively OP and needs a serious nerf. I do not want to see the leech go Fed side, nor do I want to see the god forsaken freaking acetons go fed side either, if they would be nerfed from existence I would be happier, leech can stay.

Oh, and like a typical klink that can't ever beat anyone alone and without sneaking up behind your honourless cloak I see you've brought a mate to defend you. Good cuz you're about to get nerfed LOL, bring it on, see you in the arena sonny.

wait wut? are you calling me a klingon player? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

im still asking what the hell the other ship the op was taking about that drains more then a science ship.


maybe you were hit with that tholian torp that drains/disables a power?

seriously dude.

give proof so we can start invesitgating it.
