I can understand someone preferring the Engineering-focused Flight Deck Cruisers if they enjoy using the Aux2Bat build, but I like how sciency carriers like the Vo'Quv, the Jupiter, and these latest offerings are. Loading the ship up with Science consoles and using Grav Well III to gather enemies together so allies can…
I honestly had given up on seeing a T6 Vo'quv, but seeing all four factions get something great with this release makes it feel worth the wait. Thank you for doing this. I'm in need of a replacement PC before I can log on to the game again, but I know what I'll be flying when I do. Very well done.
I'd love to see Andorian phaser ground weapons, not least in order to see how they'd be balanced when Andorians famously refuse to build a "stun" setting in. I'm also surprised that the Andorian ushaan-tor dueling hatchet hasn't made an appearance as a winter event weapon yet. It was historically an ice climber's tool, for…
Does the T'liss have more knock-off copy variants (all sold seperately) than the Constitution class cruiser at this point? When the Year of the Klingon finally starts, some time in November, I have a real safe feeling guessing that their Legendary ship will be just another B'rel Bird of Prey. What happened to this game?
I wouldn't be offended by a Legendary T'Liss if it's comparable to the Defiant Legendary Pilot Warship. Especially if it has the 5/3 weapon layout. The experimental/heavy weapon slot has never impressed me.
The Captain does have a special attack that can one shot you. You need to not stand in that. Breaking the Captain’s line of sight by finding some cover can help. The Captain also likes to deploy crowd control drones that can snatch you up in a web. As with the Imperial Romulan Thalaron Drones elsewhere on New Romulus,…
Even the TV shows were notoriously inconsistent about how the stardate translated to the Gregorian calendar. The headache about what month or year it really is right now is, if you will, canon.
I liked this blog, but I would understand not posting them anymore if people are just going to snipe at the author. I was excited about what today’s blog probably heralds until I read this thread.
The argument could probably be made that the Republic just had that many defector ships from the various colonies at the outset. Their capital is literally a flotilla in space until the player first explores Dewa III. It’s really a measure of how colossal the Empire was before it started to break up.
> @tigeraries said: > so new T6 of existing rom ships with various specializations? That’s one idea, and an interesting one at that. I could fly the TRIBBLE out of a Piloting Morrigu. We won’t have to wait for long. The last time a dev blog like this was posted, the Warship announcement and stats blogs came within the week.
It’d be funny if ships inspired by the Picard series were all Tier 5 instead of Tier 6, reflecting that they’re from an era just before the game’s launch.
The Gathering of the Juggal-er, the Alliance story that’s tied the game’s arcs together for several years has been something that I’ve genuinely enjoyed, honestly. Possibly the biggest counterargument against more minifactions being added to it is that so many of the ones I’d want to add have already had so many of their…
I’ve half convinced that playable Terran Empire toons are on hold only because Cryptic refuses to meet Wil Wheaton’s price to voice act the role of Emperor Wesley.
Speaking only for myself, but I think more ships should have their death animations spruced up to make them as cool as the Romulan singularity shrink. Saucers separating would be an obvious choice for Federation ships, but lots of ship types have visible escape pods that could be shooting out. For maximum comedy, the…
I used Rozhenko hangar pets with a Vo’Quv Carrier when the Paradox was new. (I wanted a formidable pet with beam weapons to use with the Flight Deck Raptor’s trait.) Something may have changed since then, but I’d be surprised.
I haven’t tried it yet, but on paper it should be a big improvement waiting for me the next time I try putting together a beam build. On a 5 fore/ 3 aft battlecruiser with dual beam banks in the front weapon slots, the good-for-one-shot mechanic of the previous version of the skill felt like a disincentive to use omni…
I’m away from my gaming PC for the time being and can’t log in to the game, but I’m curious to know whether someone can confirm that the Romulan and KDF Escort Carrier Warbird and Flight Deck Raptor were included in this Strike Wing business and get the improved DPS Mastery that goes with it.
From the wiki entry on hangar pets: "Hangar Pets gain Ranks while active. There are a total of five ranks; each rank-up will improve their performance over time. Each launched fighter gains ranks separately. Ranks are slowly gained based upon the time they spend in combat without dying. Reaching Rank 5 requires a total of…
As much as I love the Temporal Operative specialty for my Captains and Bridge Officers, the Temporal ship gimmick that requires four keybinds to make full use of is actively off-putting to me. It's a shame that the Mannheim Effect was already claimed by a console years ago, because it would have been a better gimmick for…
PWE would have made a king's ransom off of these ships just by selling them directly from the Zen store, but they know they can make more with a gambling promotion. R&D promotion ships like this are a PRIME example of why reporting the odds of lockbox drops should be required by law.
Turning consumables into kit modules is a really good idea. Bridge officers and duty officers would be interesting, too. If Tier 6 means more dilithium for my alts to refine, then I'm good, whatever else comes with it.
So it would be useful if a targeted player was trying to duck out of line of sight on a PvP map. The enemies in PvE aren't smart enough to try it. I have no idea how much of a market there is for ground PvP. I've done it one time, it was the daily Endeavour, and I gave up after one match because the other guys had the Risa…
