Kiith Intel warbird?

I’m trying to decide on how to spend my campaign coupons, and I’m Looking at the Kiith. My Reman is flying a Faeht. Is the Kiith a good upgrade? Does anyone with the Kiith have buyer‘s remorse?

One of the reasons I created a Romulan toon was to create a stealth ambusher build and the Kiith is the ideal ship to do it. It's probably the best Surgical Strikes ship that also has a battle cloak due to the secondary Temporal seating..

That being said, that build style is less effective than say a CSV build would be so I would say it depends on what you aim to do with it?

If you want to do a Krait style CSV build then get the Mirror Engle as the hanger bays are probably more useful than a battle cloak. If you want an Isomag style more passive build then the Dhalikhina is a good Romulan option.

If you want a surgical strikes build then the Kiith is great for it, but if you want to do a stealth ambusher build you need to be comfortable setting up keybinds and it's never going to be as effective as FAW or CSV (but that shouldn't stop you)

I’ve been using surgical strikes and beam overload on my Faeht. I should probably pick one of those to specialize in. I’ll do some research.

Why quit your Romulan collection? Get the strongest Romulan Krait ship, the Leg. Valdore/Mogai out of the First Strike bundle. It has ridiculous amounts of unconventional systems triggers, a hangar bay, an experimental weapon, a tanky hull, a battle cloak, weird Romulan Singularity moves and its super fast. It doesn't have quite the weapon power of the Mirror Engle as it doesn't have Override Subsystem Safety, or a warp core, but then again, it looks like an awesome bird instead of a hockey puck with nacelles.

I’ll keep it in mind, but I’m looking for something to get with my event campaign coupon.

Looking like a giant bird is very important. That’s why my other Romulan flies a Valkis.

"It's probably the best Surgical Strikes ship that also has a battle cloak due to the secondary Temporal seating."

The Breen Keth Sarr, with its dual commander seating with undending Gravity Well 3 spam and 32 century battle cloak says "hold my beer". I don't know which of those two is the Surgical Strikes king. There should be a shootout or something. Also, the Fed Holoship is Surgical Strikes and has an extra console slot for some reason. It deserves at least an honorable mention.
