Odyssey class now weak?
System
Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Just noticed today my same exactly configured Odyssey that I've been using since launch day, now suddenly damages way easier than before. Anyone else think the same thing? "All" NPC's damage me so much more than before it's quite stupid, somehow the patch did something, it needs to be fixed because this is just ridiculous. I haven't changed a thing with my spec or ship..

What were you fighting? Sometimes what works well for one set of enemies isn't so good with another.
EDIT:, I'm sure it's a bug now, as the problem seems to be getting progressively worse. My ship appears to be able to take less and less damage over the course of the evening. The shields are wet paper, and the hull is made of glass it seems. This is just weird...
-Change your ships energy settings from shields to engine or weapons?
-Did you retrain bridge officers?
-Did you change your ships shields
And indeed; check your settings, perhaps it changed from normal to advance or elite? If you do the Borg PVE's; perhaps you clicked elite for a change?
Difficulty currently set to Normal
Energy settings are same as always were: 125, 80, 44, 44
Bridge officers are same as I used with the free Odyssey and the Excelsior.
Weapons all antiproton beams [CritH][Dmg]X2 and one forward and aft torpedoes.
Shields are same ones though less power since the Field Generator got nerfed.. Though even after that I was kicking butt without any major loss of shields and no loss of shields really against weak enemies.
Absolutely nothing has changed yet suddenly my ship sucks! Longer to destroy ships, way weaker shields, hull like tissue paper even with 54,602 hull, 53.9% bonus defense, 40 to 46% damage resistance for everything, and 199.2% hull repair rate! Also hazard emitters active and emergency power to weapons! My weapons power never drops below 100.
Also my crew goes from 2500 to about 500 within seconds against even the most pathetic of enemies that only take a few shots to kill!
Makes no sense as only been like this since last update of two.
Be sure to file a support ticket about this, it's important.
I encountered something like this after jumping into a shuttle for the Vault mission.
Since you know exactly what you are doing, please be specific: HOW has the Ody changed? Just saying "STO is harder than before" is kinda vague.
My suspicion is that the +35% --> +18% shield console nerf is allowing some builds that used to get to low shields to now drop to no shields and get hullshotted easily, but that's just a guess on my part.
I'd love the Omega set, particularly the shields, but don't seem to be able to complete Cure/Infected/Khitomer Elite in order to acheive this.
well im better off using the exploration cruiser thats better
It seemed fine to me, I was in game for four or five hours last night and it seemed normal. A combination of Normal and Elite missions seemed fine and I noticed no extra damage being taken.
This was with a Sci/ Defiant R, Tac/ Assault Cruiser and an Engineer/ Excelsior (both Commander).
Right not so much helping with confirming the Oddy being right as rain but.
It's a ship. The chances of one of them being broken and the hundreds of others not being broken are slim, unless of course the NPCs have started specifically targeting Odyssey's too?
Just to clarify I briefly switched to an Odyssey (Sci/ Sci Odyssey) since my post and ran a couple of dailies and it seemed normal; pretty much invincible for PvE. The huge hull and shields combined with a resilient shield means that bleed through was barely even registering so I'm not sure what the OPs issue is/ was.
I was exploding a lot today....thanks I'll give this a try.
For a recent example of one being broken when everything else worked right:
The mining event released, KDF players could not complete it, but Fed players could. That makes no sense. Surely if one group could complete it the other one should too. It's the same Mission for each side why would it work for one and not the other?
And somebody could have moved a decimal point on one of the four Odyssey hulls leaving a small percentage of people badly effected and everyone else normal. I'd almost say Cryptic have a track record for fixing one thing and breaking two every patch.
No idea, I don't have the free Odyssey. The CStore variants all seemed fine though.
My Cstore variants don't seem fine... They are broken, not sure how yours aren't. What is your console setup, what exactly do you use on your +1 oddy?
Sci Odyssey, 8x Mk XI STF Phaser beam arrays, 3 pieces Borg and a Mk XII MACO shield. Consoles are as follows:
Engineering
3x Neutronium and 1x SIF Generator
Science
2x Field Generator, 1x Borg console and 1x Chevron Separation console
Tactical
2x Phaser Relay
It seemed fine earlier today when I ran a few STFs with it although I've no idea what it's like now as I got bored of the horrible turn rate and went back to the Defiant R. If anything the now working resistances meant it was even tougher than usual (even the Borg tachyon beams are useless now).
EDIT: Just quickly switched back to the Science Odyssey and ran Cure Space (normal) in it and it's fine, even with two Raptor's attacking it and a Cube trying to drain my shields it held up fine. Currently queued for Infected Space (elite) so I'll see how it fares there too but TBH it feels fine.
My Ody still doing the same (or part of it, beacuse the additional tetryon damage fall from 50 to 37 with the last update)
Maybe, the key is on insulators skill and the effect of that on shields.
If I use both bio-monitors is beacouse i feel how my ody live longer if i recover the crew a decent rate,
On STF elite I die one time or two depends from gates (i always fight againts those at point range).
On that configuration from tac ody, I havent any armor console, but my officers always have work.
I also have the three special consoles on tac but I never use the aquarious, Saucer separation only to take bop from two cubes on the cure (kang service) and my work bee have work... sometimes lots of that.
I have the Operations Ody. full equip to tank but I like more the tac and doing more damage, even at less survivial cost.
Thanks to everybody for the fun, sorry for my bad english.
I only play elite, even my episode missions are all done on elite, so perhaps its just normal that is ok? I'm using 3 piece borg, +3 neutronium (recently swapped out to test different configs to no avail) and MACO XII shields as well, the the shields just melt like butter against pretty much any elite NPC, this wasn't the case before whatever the devs broke, everything was balanced, now it's just a slaughter fest every time I play.
I would say maybe it's the shields that are the issue, but then again, my hull is now butter as well so it only being a shield issue is not the case (besides, I also tested other shields as well, same result). It's just damn weird, wake up one day start playing and start getting slaughtered by ridiculously over powered NPC's. This just isn't right, something is broken somewhere, and as we can see from most of the other posters in here, I'm not the only one having this issue.
Unfortunately the Aegis Set is fairly pathetic anymore these days. It is the reason you are being killed so easily.
However, I have noticed lately that the Elite Borg seem to be One-Shotting more than ever. Gates especially seem to be guilty of this with their Inviso-Torp of Doom. I am not sure why they are more vicious all of a sudden but they are. I've been blown away in the Bortasqu' from these several times recently through shields and all and it can generally handle EVERYTHING else with ease even the Tactical Cubes.
Even on an Infected elite and a KA elite it was fine, the changes to the drain resists mean this thing just doesn't die now (Borg shield drains are easily ignored now). I'm not saying you don't have an issue but this one I'm using is fine.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I don't regularly use an Odyssey so I had to reclaim one from the CStore. Someone above mentioned removing and re equipping the consoles which obviously wouldn't be a problem for me, maybe that's the issue?
