Same here. Real momentum stopper - it's not like you can do much with your lvl 14 character.
-
a) Proton cannon is un-upgradeable. b) Proton damage is weak in general, especially when end game is all about things with massive hulls. c) modes are too restricted. d) Procs are weak in general. I think DSD's were supposed to rely partly on components that proc proton damage. - Why not let the proton cannon assume the…

I have never watched discovery. I enjoy the tutorial, I love the look and feel of everything ( UI, weapons, warp sounds, etc). My one issue is the whole "kids in space" thing. You don't give a graduating class senior staff positions on a machine that can level cities. One grad as an exception? Sure. But the whole senior…

kar'fi is a tac-heavy, t5u, klingon carrier. It's a little squishy, but if you like the visuals it's a fun ship.
-
I haven't used the loadout system
-
T6 vo'quv. Make Klingon carriers great again! :-) Short of that, I don't know why they don't just give all T5 ships the T5U treatment. The process is mostly deterministic (+console, +hull, +bonus track, maybe something I forgot), so it's a trivial way to get a little more money and please us odd-balls who like a niche…

I was looking at this, but I see now it's only for console. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Cryptic_Store

Thanks all, I see what's wrong - the wiki has the the wrong image for the KHG deflector; the stats on their image are identical to the AKHG deflector.

When fighting hurq with my vanguard carrier - 4/2 - I move my Omni to the front.

As a recently returned player, I understand the OPs pain. OP, to the suggestions above, let me suggest that you buy white or green mk xii for any slot where you have less than most x. You may even find a blue or purple that's cheap as well. After that, learn one thing at a time. The game got more fun for me once I stopped…
-
I hadn't thought about that angle, thanks. I'll need to think that through. It also occurred to me that I'm thinking KDF, where practically everything can mount a DHC...I think fed side has more restrictive ships (as a tendency). The point wasn't DBB vs Beams, it's DBB vs DHC. If you're working to keep something in your…

Thank you much. I was wondering how those peeps were doing it.
-
Thank you thank you thank you! It was pedal to the metal, and now my screen is nice and quiet. :-)
-
I think the asymmetry can be fun. There's a boardgame called "ogre" that built around that principal, and it's a blast. -Jeff
-
To the OP, let me ask a different question: How many RA's have you been in? How many resulted in an AFK due to the dps of other players? This sounds like a statistical aberration. Unless this happens to many people, I don't see why the devs should make major changes for such an isolated case. -Jeff P.S. I leveled my rommie…
-
From the perspective of someone who typically has an hour a day to do something: a) Queue up for something hard, wait for the queue to pop while I run through admiralty, doffs, etc, then get my marks. b) borg ra->romulan patrol->crystaline->tholian->delta patrol...sneak in my admiralty, doffs, etc...then maybe another borg…
-
Yes, it worked. My understanding is that the difference between /bind_load and /bind_load_file is that the latter lets you name the file. So a) /bind space "forgot the command, something simple" b) /bind_save c) find the new file in directory and update it with the cut and paste from website d) /bind_load I've logged in…
-
It's something about the filename. I finally did a simple in-game bind, then typed /bind_save. I went to my live directory, and a new file named "ent_keybinds" was there. I cut and pasted the full macro into that file, saved, then went back in-game and typed /bind_load. I did this all inside the japori mission, in case…

I came back recently from a long hiatus. I had 2 lvl 50 captains who could run advanced without a problem. I found the following: 1) Starting a new character helped immeasurably with relearning the game. That was my rommie, to about 20, before I went back to my klink. 2) I did not try to be perfect. I learned things one at…
-
Thanks all. Lobi ships (and things for 250M on the exchange) are really not in my budget right now. I was looking at the krenim imperium warship on the wiki - it seems to fit well, but again, too rich for my blood right now. Looking at a lot of things (more than just this thread), all my roads seem to lead to the…
-
https://sto.gamepedia.com/Flight-Deck_Cruiser Just found this. Apparently there's a cross faction allied flight deck crusier bundle that works. -Jeff
-
Thank you for the suggestions thus far. I'm not just looking at cross-faction ships, but packs with 3 ships, 1 per faction. I mostly play KDF/FED, but I have a rommie waiting in the wings.
-
I agree it's more about the consoles, but I believe the comparison is entirely valid. Most comparisons between fed and kdf have some give and take. While people can disagree about the relative worth of - say - less hull vs less shields, in the end the ships tend to be relatively balanced. For example, the t6 multi-mission…
-
Looking at the d'kyr vs the varanus on the wiki (both 2000 zen) - d'kyr, tiny more hull - d'kyr, 1.3 vs 1.2 shields - Let's call the bridge officer stations a tie - d'kyr, 45 inertia vs 40 - d'kyr, +15 aux vs +10 The d'kyr has a support craft, the varanus a repair platform. I don't know the numbers. -Jeff
-
Thank you all. I think I'm going to get an orb weaver off the exchange to tide myself over until the multi-mission pack goes on sale. It really bugs me how statistically under-powered the varanus is compared to other ships at its level. Not worth spending an upgrade on that ship. -Jeff
-
Hallelujah! Thanks, my Jem was looking very plain. :-(
-
Thanks. The problem is that the vo'quv doesn't "dance". :-) .brace for impact, by itself, didn't help either ( though I had some shield damage. ). I'll have to prepare more next time.
-
T6 vo'quv with b'rel wingmen.
-
Thanks all. I moved my omni to the front and my torp to the back, and that absolutely helped. I also kept a closer eye on some of my deaths and realized that it's the little critters explosions that are getting me. In my bug boat I boom and zoom, but science ship is much more gimicky than that.
-
I bought 4 upgrade tokens, used one on the ship to make it t-5u. I had a few old upgradeable ships on my lvl 50 captains, so I want to upgrade them when I know more. -Jeff
