pilot ships
Anyone know if the pilot ships will be a 3 pack or a 9 pack? I know we have leaked images for one for each faction but I'm a little surprised that the leaked klink ship is a raptor. I would have bet money that a pilot (maneuvering and all) would have been a bop. Silly wishing we will get faction 3 pack?

Re: pilot ships
I probably will be a 3 pack.
The reason why the KDF pilot ship is a raptor is because it's stats are the most similar to an escort. BOPs have no Fed equivalent so it would not fit well in a 3 pack.
This is my prediction: Fed T6 Defiant, Romulan T6 Ha'feh and KDF T6 Raptor. All Tac oriented escorts with similar stats.

Re: pilot ships
it'll most likely be a 3pak per faction so they can justify $20 a ship with a 9pak uber bundle.
when will they actually sell it. ...soon(tm)

Re: pilot ships
Personally, I would MUCH rather see a BoP for the KDF than a Raptor... We need competitive BoPs in the mix.
As to 3 or 9, I am guessing 3 also... The ship market is getting flooded and if they only release one ship for each faction and follow the recent model, then Cryptic need only create one new Space Trait--which would be good in my opinion.
Guess, we'll see.

Re: pilot ships
I'll join the chorus for a Bird-of-Prey.
Funny thing, I was re-running the mission in my B'Rel Retrofit... The KDF ship in the episode is smaller than the B'Rel. That ship looked tiny.

Somebody from Cryptic did imply they were working on a T6 BOP, so there is hope.QorDaq wrote:Personally, I would MUCH rather see a BoP for the KDF than a Raptor... We need competitive BoPs in the mix.

Re: pilot ships
Feds do have a near-equivalent to a BoP after they added flanking to the Aquarius. With the way they've been doing T6 ships (after the initial unbalanced set with DR and the Pathfinder at least) it doesn't seem unreasonable to give Feds their first true raiders and Romulans their first full carriers so they can continue the same parity without denying anybody a major ship line.

Re: pilot ships
Right now I'd be happier with a new Romulan pet...only thing Romulan based that doesn't fit on the Scimitar is the Scorpion (well Reman based) and everyone has access to Scorpions.Hevach wrote:Feds do have a near-equivalent to a BoP after they added flanking to the Aquarius.

I wouldn't mind a shuttle or something that used Plasma Beams, both Rom shuttle look nice...maybe something with a T6 power. I don't care if they'd add a Fed and KDF shuttle...just be nice to get a new Romulan pet.
