Maybe they're not supposed to be equivalent. Yes, Romulan Marks are harder to accumulate by several orders of magnitude, but maybe that's by design. Not saying that I agree with that design, just playing devil's advocate. Some companies keep the players interested by having so much content you couldn't go through it all as…
Either you're a troll, a moron or, most likely, both. I shouldn't be so na?ve as to explain in painstaking detail what is obvious to all whose intelligence exceeds room temperature, but, since I'm way too nice, here goes: The Chimera has better stats across the board than the Hermes, yet you state the Hermes is somehow…
A Ship inferior in everyway is somehow superior? Logic isn't quite your strong suit, it would appear. The Chimera far ecplises any of the Ships you mentionned, but hey, you can't even be trusted to read their stats, so I wouldn't expect good analysis from you.
Yeah. Always seems so ridiculous that a DOFF of the preffered career gives you worse results than a random unrelated DOFF on assignments like Commendations.
Yes, Tetryons are one of the good choices for a Torpedo boat. Along Disruptors and Phasers. But the Akira-R isn't a torpedo boat! 1. If you run high Weapon Power, Torpedoes are under-par. The whole point of a Torpedo boat is to keep decent DPS while killing your Weapon power in favour of something else (usually Aux)... not…
You're right in that we need more gear sets. And a Cardassian set is a good idea. That said: - Deflector: It's MACO on 'roids. Instead of super-MACO, I think it'd be more interesting to have different stats. A pure dedicated Science Deflector, maybe? Ok, there's the Breen Deflector, but the Breen Set is just terrible.…
Seconded. STO's story has always been fanfic-level. And that might be insulting to some fanfics. If you want a MMO with good story, you have to look towards Japan/SE: that's one aspect of XI that always delivered; and I suspect XIV as well (but XIV fails in all other respects).
Efficient works fine, as mentionned previously it adds to Warp Core Efficiency. If you're not seeing an increase with 1 Efficient BOFF, it just means that the increase was too low to be visible due to truncation: if your power in a subsystem goes from 50.12 to 50.47, it'll still show up as 50. But I can assure you that it…
- At 35 Engine Power, you shouldn't use Hyper-Impulse Engines but Combat-Impulse Engines. - Assuming you're not including temporary buffs, I don't think 24 Speed is possible at 35 Engine Power (but I can't test, my Engine Power doesn't go below 49~51/25 on any char), on any Ship. Even less so on a .15 Impulse Ship. - Turn…
Overcomplicated yet underthought. So: - All Ships get +1 Universal slot. - That slot gives an undefined boost to regular consoles but not "special" ones. - Removing a Console from that slot costs EC. Problem is: without the boost, the slot is just a free slot for all Ships (not necessarily a bad thing, but one would need…
Yeah, but the in-game Mogai doesn't really look like the Valdore. So, they could re-use it for a new T3-T4 Ship and make a new, more impressive T5 Valdore. Remember: not a lot of extant Romulan Ships, we have to stretch whatever we have. I guess you mean "isn't" in the second sentence? In any case, the Remans would be part…
I personally favour the idea of factions having different types of Ships: FED: Cruiser, Escort, SV. KDF: No true SV, BoPs instead. Romulans: No Cruisers, new type of Ships instead. They have large Ships, but they don't have to be Eng-focused/defensive. Cardassians: No Escorts, new type of Ships instead. So, Romulans would…
Late answer, a moron (pwebranflakes) needed to wave his e-peen around and I was randomly selected. Not a pleasant experience; I understand why he has to use force, nobody would willingly. No trouble putting out damage? What does that mean? I'd understand arguments about gaining survivability or utility at the cost of…
ASIF is one of the most useful/powerful Skills out there. Much better than Eng Team. I tend to max relevant Skills and ignore pointless ones or ones directed at other Ship types; but some advocate spreading out as much as possible. What's the point of alts if you don't specialise them in different Skills? At the very…
You'll lose survivability and gain damage, as you probably expect. Whether that's fine with you or not is a question only yourself can answer. Depending on your level, you can consider re-making your char. Nothing valuable comes early. Or you can make an alt, you have at least 2 slots, afterall.
