  How fun that Klingon players get the opportunity to command the Klingon Bird of Prey from STAR TREK VI: The Undiscovered Country! Such a ship commanded by an experienced starship captain is a formidable adversary to anybody.

  Amazing little ship!

• chazrail @ Mar 4th, 2013 1:22PM

  I am so getting this

• darkfader1988 @ Mar 4th, 2013 6:36AM

  A bit weird you guys are advertising for an old ship wheras you actually have a newer B'rel model you never ever released, and has been postponed since game went F2P, why not release that model instead?

• oakland4life @ Mar 2nd, 2013 1:10PM

  Stupid Feds thinks this is new... no wonder you guys lose PvP most of the time.

• marc8219 @ Mar 1st, 2013 8:04PM

  You haven't played STO if you have never tried this ship. It's the most fun ship I have.

• blagorm @ Mar 1st, 2013 1:27PM

  Just because you show us this doesnt mean the Empire will be happy... but still nice to see it.

• spacegate @ Mar 1st, 2013 11:52AM

  Actually as a player who has played since launch I find these Featured Ship articles remind me what ships I have stopped using or have just plain not used at all. Although this is one i have tried before.

• albertwesker45 @ Mar 1st, 2013 8:31AM

  so Basicly the KDF have now got the Star trek 6 prototype clocking device installed great.

• this0is0madness

  cloaking device Albert, you're becoming invisible, not measuring time.

• benoliverwillock

  Also, we've had this for like.... YEARS with the Standard B'Rel. ... And its not like us KDF players get all the stuff you FEDs do, so quit yer wining.

• lirdek @ Mar 1st, 2013 12:21AM

  how about you release new ships for KDF instead of digging into old topics.

• cmdrscarlet

  Although I agree that KDF faction could use a little more loving, this is an advertisement, so leave the hate at the power button.

• bugshu @ Feb 28th, 2013 10:49PM

  And you will have lots of extra time to pick your toes if your 21,000 hull gets hit with the fancy new cutting beam the borg in stfs have these days !!!

• vonohzu @ Feb 28th, 2013 7:18PM

  If I can have this ship in fleet version for my Fed character Klinks can have any Fed ship they want.

• mordaen @ Feb 28th, 2013 5:37PM

  This is still one of my favorite ships. Really nice looking, and fun to play.

• borg3of25 @ Feb 28th, 2013 1:55PM

  you Klingons with enhanced Battle Cloak. You know the roms gave you that Now they are on the Feds side.

• daedalus304

  they are on both sides, don't know what makes you think they are exlusively on the fed side, both KDF and UFP are working to aid new romulus.

• daemoncaptrix @ Feb 28th, 2013 1:45PM

  Bust damage? Don't harm George Washington!

• kalregar @ Feb 28th, 2013 1:15PM

  Bought one of these and paired it with the Quad Disruptor Cannons I got awhile earlier from a Ning'Tao. It's a beast.

• canadacj

  Same here

• thebumble @ Feb 28th, 2013 1:08PM

  One word: Squishy.

• johnnycutler

  Not if you know how to fly it. Try some DR boff abilities.

• chalpen @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:48PM

  lovely ship. Bought it the week it came out. Its a good ship for....younger people to play since to play it correctly you need mucho speed and reflexes

• zerobang @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:45PM

  would appreciate it if somebody could fix the engine glow XYZ coordinates of this shiny Bird of Prey and actually put the glow on the engine, instead of 5 shuttles behind it. thx.

• mirrorseacat @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:37PM

  As much as I love Birds of Prey, the enhanced battle cloak really offers very little outside of PvP. I think this ship needs to be touched up and perhapse offered in a bundle with the missing versions much the same way the Vesta and Kumari ships were.

• jimknopf107 @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:36PM

  @messa But it seems, there would be more features on klingon side ;-) I love the klingons but unfortunately cryptic not..

• messahla @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:17PM

  The B'rel retrofit has been out for a while this is not new nice try cryptic we players are not stupid.

• burstdragon323

  That's not what this is. Articles like these are to show newer players some of the older ships.

• firelight76

  Is there really any need to be so negative? This is clearly for new players who might have missed it!

• darramouss1

  Seems everyone but you knows that articles like this are for newer players. Sorry, were you calling Cryptic stupid?...

• johnnycutler

  This post is what we like to call, "irony."

• johnnycutler

  Now this post is commonly referred to as "irony"

• barnhousej76pw @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:16PM

  I love this ship all my kdf fly this. Wish i could get it for my feds.

• thlaylierah

  Get the new Andorian Escort then. It uses the BoP flight model so you can also use the "Electric Slide" on the Fed side. Remember you can't spell "BoP" without "OP."

• jimknopf107 @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:13PM

  Looks good, but: Thats the answer for the 5 weaponed and with 5 tactical consoles equipped andorian escort?

• gavinruneblade

  No, the B'Rel has been out for a long time. These articles are to showcase older ships to the newer players.

• captaindarius8 @ Feb 28th, 2013 12:12PM

  this is cool :) i can fire my rommy torps while cloaked :D :D :D
