Martok Additions

No offense, but I really think you should watch the strategy (or iterations of it) more before commenting on potential things  . At least with the tactic that I've crudely spliced, you won't have no mining (ewwww, double negative), and your opponent will have almost no warning that you are going for a K't'inga rush until *pop* most miners suddenly vanish and cloak. True, at that point your opponent can retreat miners to the main, but that just means the opponent has lost the expansion if he or she tried to go for one and he or she will have less income coming in for badly needed ships than you will.

after u rush with ktingas, and the player hides his miners, then your fleet will be greater than his, but he will be on the defensive, which is rather easy to pull off. neither side will have economy, all he has to do is peck away until you have too few ships left to effectively pen him in. then he can easily put his economy back up, while klink had to pay for more miners.

i really would love to record a game with u doing ktinga rush. i doubt it will work, but if anybody can do it, u can.

The theory is actually sound for the K'ting'a rush.  Business as usual until you have 6 miners, they turn into K'ting'a.  You add them to the fleet and eat or paralyze the opponent's mining.  During this time...you're building miners again, and get to resume mining, while your opponent cannot.

It could be a poor idea in a 3+ player FFA game, but in a 1v1, it should be deadly, if executed well.  Particularly as Taq, who can produce them cheaply.

If you make your modern ships kbq, a human player who's trying to manually target may have some additional issues as well, due to the similar appearance of the two ship classes.  (not so much for autotargetting, as it will shoot the relics.)

its easy to tell ktinga apart from kbq, ktinga have green glowing nacelles, kbq have red.

on my system spotting that difference is really easy.

maybe on systems where the glowing colour is harder to see it could be problematic.

one small, not martok specific addition will arrive in the next patch. If dispatching the storage containers of a topmey, the crew will fall into a killing frenzy, dealing increased damage for a short period of time

qapla'!

yay, although wouldnt this fit taqroja more as she does ktinga easier with cheaper miners.

or is it purposely given to martok so his ktingas will be seen more?

either way im gonna make me some ktingas just to do this.

Why would that fit the cowardly one? Martok is the one with real Klingons on his ships.

taqroja is the one more likely to make ktingas as her topmey is cheaper.

i think its ok that martok gets this bonus for ktinga, as u can give 1 avatar all the bonuses.

Ambiguous warning that means it is actually Taq'Roja specific? Optec sure is a crafty one.

I think that it means that it is not specific to any of the klingon avatars, but will be for both of them.

And it makes sense!  Yay!  A warrior relagated to garbage duty gets one more chance to show what he's made of?  To Sto'vo'kor!
