New Weapon Platforms.

While I really like the new weapon platforms we can make thru the DOff system. 10min cooldowns on them seems so steep. Its not like they are game changers, they are mostly just cool :D But if the cooldown was at LEAST 5 min, they "might" be a little useful instead of just cool.

    They might be useful in STFs if everybody loads out their device slots with them and puts them in the path of the nanite repair ships.

    Other than that, they're basically a gimmick. But they're easy to get, so not a bad gimmick to have in the game.

    Not sure about fed side, but I do know that a lot of the Marauding episodes on Klingon side give contraband. Mostly I've noticed on Klingon side, that the more "?" we get as prizes, the better the chance that one of them will be Contraband.

    This made me think and do a double take as why are Starfleet Captains dealing in contraband now...

    So to recap, we have Starfleet Officers:
    • Ignoring aid missions (aid to planets not dropping)
    • Mining incessant amounts of dilithium (enough said)
    • Dealing in contraband for items
    • Not exploring (broken explo system)
    • Paying taxes and steep prices in ore for gear (again dilithium)
    • Commiting mass genocide on any percieved enemy race
    • Not conducting diplomatic relations once they have been allowed transwarp clearance.

    WoW, just WoW. I think this game has finally captured the spirit of Star Trek!!

    No wonder why when I walk around on my ship my crew says nothing to me. They are TERRIFIED the brdige crew and I will slaughter them or sell them for energy credits forbuy a new weapon!!!!

    I have not seen a single contraband mission. I have at least 1 tier under each department under my belt. NUMEROUS weapons plans, data, but no contraband. I play on the fed side, and I have gone through each sector numerous times searching for these missions. I have gotten a total of 1 search of a frieghter, and it resulted in failure. Right now I have a traffic jam on development because all the missions now depend on contraband and I am not blowing all my EC on the exchange.

    If the clink side gets these regularly I think the fed side needs to be reviewed.

    Klingon side has their own issues with the DOff system missions, like the majority of our DOffs being agressive and honorable, which is also the failure and critical failure for our missions. Heretic has said he's constantly revamping the system, but the newest release of the system has been delayed while he looks at the Math a bit more.
