TaQ'roja Improvement Ideas

posted on March 18th, 2011, 2:00 am

Since right now Martok is better (and could possibly gain more edges over TaQ if things like my Intrepid idea get implemented), I decided to start a thread for ideas on how to give TaQ something cool and useful so that people have a good reason to not always go Martok.

My Idea: BoP refitting research in the Armory. First upgrade Adds 2 offense, 3 defense, and 2 system, second adds 1 offense, 3 defense, and 4 system.
Works similar to Romulan refittng, but the ships must go into the field yard to undergo refitting and to produce new refits without making the original design requires the battle yard.
This way TaQ can keep her BoPs doing nice damage and lasting into maybe even lategame, for a price.

Post your own ideas as well please, I'm sure someone can come up with something better than refits.

I think Taq'roja's B'rels and Kvort's should do better to medium sized ships than-

  Oh wait ... they already do ...

Ok ... so then I think that the KBQ special should be a bit more powerful than Martok's-

  Oh wait ... it already is ...

I think she should have a sweet-ass ship with a tractor beam that let's her be a pirate-

  Oh wait ... she already does ...





  By Martok being "better" than taqroja I assume you mean that he is easier for you to play, Nebbie  .  Taq has lots of cool shit she can do, but Martko will generally perform better in large maps and team games due to the fact that it's SUCH a benefit to have cheaper yards.

  Don't make such brash statements like that if you want people to listen to you

1v1 Taq is awesome, though in 3v3, you are at a slight disadvantage as your early game rush strategies tend to hit a wall pretty early.

In my opinion, the Klingon faction is the most balanced.  A good Klingon player like Boggz can match well with almost all strategies from all factions (note, I didn't say win).  We have to be careful when thinking about changes because it wouldn't take much to completely screw it up.

TaQ'roja is fine. I think 90% of the time I choose her, 10% Martok. Of course, Martoks yard is cheaper, but on the other hand Taqs topmeys are cheaper - she can better recover from raiding. She got stronger BoPs, early Chargh strats which I love to use are just awesome against Feds and SCubes. Martok isn't better, though I found him great on the shows and played him most the time when starting to play FO, now I think his only nice thing is the Susa being incredibly nice against all kinds of buildings. And I agree with Clint, Klingons are indeed well balanced besides some small problems against long rangers.

Martok is better, TAQ needs work, agaisnt a good romulan player she is owned quickly.

I think Taq is in a better position against Romulans than Martok, since her K'Vort is much more useful against Generix Frigates, which are used quite often. Furthermore she can do a K'Tinga rush which Martok shouldn't do. Her B'rel, which you always need against Romulans is also better. All the other Romulan stuff has equal advantages against both avatars. I could only think of the Shrike against which Martok is better off due to pulses.
Against Rhienns both avatars have problems, but that issue doesn't have to be stretched again here .
It would be interesting to here what exactly you think are the problems compared to Martok against Romulans, Kestrel. If you want to make a battle yard rush, you can do that with Taq just fine, too. And you even get a stronger Sang and the Chargh for it. You just need to know what to skip.

  Oh?  Then what are you doing wrong?

To be honest, I can play much better with Taq then with Martok. For battle yard spammers (Sangs or Vorchas) Taq ist more difficult to use because you need to split fleets more often and use specials wisely...maybe Martok will be made more challenging in the future to compensate the preferences of avatars.
