Good early game counter for Romulan against Klingon K’beajQs

posted on May 8th, 2010, 5:40 am

So what is a suitable ship available in early game to counter the KQ? I experienced that my leavhals got sniped way to fast by the special. Rhienns seem quite week in offense and Griffins die too fast anyway. how about the Shirke?

Shrike can work due to its speed (you'll be able to retreat), but you are probably better off starting with a Frigate Refit

Leahval still provides one of the best counters to the K'beajQ due to its passive.

Forget about the frigate...it gets ripped in pices by the kvort. I think I try a Rhienn mass against those ships.

Frigate takes 50% less damage from pulse based weapons altogether - K'vort deals 34% increased. Frigate also deals increased damage to the K'vort. It certainly doesn't get ripped to pieces. If you want to try a Rhienn mass, feel free, but K'beajQ will prove to be their undoing.

Wrong. :-]

They changed it to 30% less damage from pulse weapons? I think so.

20% + 30% = 50%

20% because of it's medium size

30% because of it's passive

=

50%

  I could make that mistake too

If it would be only that it is ok...the real problem is the torpedo...it shredds subsystems very fast down, thats at least what I experienced...the same counts for the torp drone...it has some traits of the metaphasic dis from the last patch. The subsystems both for leavhal and the Generix are weak spots. I had a game where Yandon throw several Kvorts against my Frigates. The lost weapons and engines of my Frigates where really the point why I think they are not a good counter vs. Kvorts.And I bet the same will happen against KQs.

Ohlol. Which passive adds the 20%?

posted on May 8th, 2010, 5:12 pm

20% because Disruptors do 80% damage against medium size. 30% reduction from passive.
btw. how much is the damage to structural weak targets increased?

not disruptor all pulse weapons do 20% less damage vs cruisers (right??)

sorry I meant pulse disruptors

Structural Damage is a variable thing - does different amounts depending on the target. Strangely, I don't see an entry for K'vorts in there

That means? They don't suffer from the Frigate?
