  • What do you mean 'to compensate'? There is nothing to compensate you for. Short Red Alerts have been a thing for years and usually alternate with the long version.
  • This isn't a request thread :lol: There's been zero indication consoles are going to be sunset. Ignore the doomsayers.
  • ToS is transferable, and not annulled just because it's not PWE anymore. The fact the ToS are still as is means it's still applicable.......and don't get me start on China and it's 'Time Travel' bans :lol:
  • This is not a bug and is WIA. This is not how the sponsor feature works. It halves the XP needed on all other toons, that is all. It does not automatically advance your other characters, and never has done so.
  • Hallucinations I experienced when I was using a certain 'AI' app to help me find papers for a Research Project I did last year. About a fifth of the papers it said to look at just didn't exist, and it simply couldn't accept they didn't exist even after I followed every possible path to find them. It was only after strictly…
  • Console has 1 less benefit, that's it. Console is about a third cheaper, and can be acquired for Free; PC players do not get this option. That's why it doesn't have a stipend....literally the only benefit missing from Console LTS. I've seen some console players literally rage at this, but they refuse to acknowledge PC…
  • You are initially talking about Adaptive, not Generative. Whilst Adaptive AI would be fun, it wouldn't make it past the first month because it would then become 'too hard' for certain players. Generative AI creates content, and unless it's extremely tightly controlled, it will quick fall into the dubious territory of…
  • Try restarting the game in Safe Mode via the Launcher options. This will reset all your graphics settings to default, then set them back up.
  • It is normal, nothing to worry about. There's another content drop coming in the next week or so. They do not pre-patch just for fixes, only new content. No, nothing to do with upgrades or improvements. They only do this, as I said, for new content drops. They don't post about new content until it's very close to release…
  • Whenever you start getting 'Map Transfer Failed' it usually helps to switch instances or maps.
  • Frigate pets are mostly restricted to the ship they come from....mostly. A 'full' carrier is usually a 3/3 Carrier, not a Dreadnaught Carrier, or Flight Deck Carrier. It literally means a 'Carrier' and only a 'Carrier', not anything with 'Carrier' in it. Classifications are 'exact-literal' (because of how databases work),…
  • I am pretty sure it can be opened only on a Fed toon as per the description in your screenshot. Once opened, the ship is available in the Ships T1-4 tab on other toons.
  • You can't. It was a single character unlock only.
  • The Adv Hangar consoles are waaaaaay better. Stackable weapons power and bonus damage for torps on Hangar pets, in addition to re-engineerable Attribute boost. Add in Swarmer Matrix, the MVAM Console from the newest Prommy and it's Mastery and you've got midgets of death! :lol:
  • The new advanced consoles vary in what they improve, and are intended to provide more damage to ships that are not flush with Tac slots. The variations also allow for improved damage for Sci and Hangar based play. As with most things in STO, the value of something is subjective to you and how you play. What is 'bad' for…
  • Exactly. The 'Mirror' Universe started it's divergence as early as Zefram Cochrane shooting the Vulcans when they landed. Whilst there were similarities in the people in the couple of centuries we have seen, they were hugely xenophobic, and it's clear by the DS9 era that the divergence was huge.
  • It's contrived, but not impossible. But the chance your counterpart has the exact same skills, abilities, knowledge and equipment in the 'Mirror' Universe is almost zero, nevermind talking about affinity because that is cancelled out because the Mirror Terrans etc mostly have exactly opposing drives. The only 'recent'…
  • Apologies Dark, this was addressing the sentiment others made. I totally agree it's annoying when it's spammed, but it can be protected against with Hazard Emitters whilst that is active. On PC it's a judgement call when to activate it, but it would be great if conditional triggers were allowed on PC like they are on…
  • I always use Reverse Shield Polarity (RSP) for FBP, heals my shields and I ride FBP out whilst still shooting if I don't have Subnuc ready, and I'll throw Tac Beam (on my Sci ships) because that'll do the killing for me. VIP is indeed frustrating, but I don't come across the Mokai often enough to warrant to call for it's…
  • No...that's not how it works. It's a different universe, with different choices, not a mirror. 'Mirror' is just a name given to that universe. There's no way you'd have the same stuff unless that universe was an almost exact match, which the 'Mirror' Universe is most certainly not.
  • FBP IS counterable. And NPC numbers are irrelevant, they don't fire off 50 abilities in 4 seconds like players do. I have no issue with NPC's have the same skills. If a player cannot figure out what to do, especially to counter something as easy to counter as FBP, it's a player-problem, not a game problem. Just because a…
  • It is the site that is running the competition that needs it, not Cryptic. Your sign-ins here are irrelevant.
  • They are not going to get rid of FBP. It's an useful skill........and why shouldn't NPC's have the exact same skills as players!? Why should you be allowed to vape NPC's without any consequence? You're not being punished.
  • Apologies, that's what I meant...lol
  • The Dev that wrote it may have considered it AoE, but it's damage type won't say that in their database, even the wiki says the same. And it would have been helpful to lead with that description rather than what you posted..... "Debuff Foes During Weapon Firing Modes Weapon attacks during AoE Weapon Firing Modes apply - 20…
  • It's NOT a bug. It's working as intended. Torp Spread is not an AoE ability, it is a targeted ability as per it's tool tip! AoE abilities like Beam fire at will target indiscriminately, whilst TS targets 3, 4, or 5 enemies only.
  • Not a bug. Spread hits 3, 4 and 5 specific targets respectively. BFW and RF hit randomly. https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Ability:_Torpedo:_Spread
  • Because torp spread isn't AoE. It targets a specific number of foes, not an area.
  • I have a ship flavoured on each weapon bar Proton on my main. Don't need a sheet for that though. All my other toons just have one main ship flavoured for their faction weapons.
