So for anyone who missed my tirade in CatPhone, in short I'll say that I don't want to guard Kang in CSE anymore.
The long story:
We did a trio of ISE, CSE, and KASE tonight, in that order. Earlier today on the forums I posted about how the power creep has made the average firepower of players so incredibly high. I commented on the fact that in ISE, you can just ignore the 10% rule completely. I took note of how fast stuff died in ISE when we played it.
Then we did CSE. I guarded Kang as normal, the four others cleared the middle probes, and were working on right. After I killed BoP spawns in the middle, I just created an experiment on the spot. I, yes me, Voporak the grand master of space STFs, etc. etc., blew up the middle cube - even though I'd called for mrrmll. Yes, for me that was like blasphemy to everything that had ever been beaten into me concerning STF rules. And so we still got the optional. I knew that one year ago we couldn't have done that, probably.
And finally, KASE. I was guarding probes, but there just came a point during it when I was shooting at the 12,956th or so borg pill that I just got the sudden urge for a split second to put up my guns and stop shooting anything. Now of course I didn't, but it crossed my mind. Then when we got down to one gate left, a sphere got through the vortex (for the record, I've never seen a sphere go through). But guess what... I didn't actually care in the least. And then, Donatra. We shot at her, she cloaked and flew around, shot her some more, and then she decloaked with the green lines going. After a few seconds I just flew into it. I even saw Sandor's baseball of doom heading to Donatra, which would set off the thelaron - but I kept going. I popped my resists and sat there, facing the Valdore. Big green blast... but I lived with some hull left. A blast that should've destroyed me, I survived. I looked from my ship to Donatra, and that's when my liking of space STFs dropped from 'kinda boring' to 'I despise them'.
Bottom line? I don't wanna do Kang guard, or KASE guard, or pretty much any space STF. I can close my eyes and do an interactive scenario of them, I know them that well. They're boring to me now.
/rant
EDIT: As long as I'm in the mood for it, here's a list of things you may or may not have picked up on in STFs with me:
-I have an unwritten rule to start an STF when 3 out of the 4 people besides me say "ready/rdy/r" I've had people (no names) complain to me that I should wait for them, that if they say "brb", I can be expected to wait 10-15 minutes. Well no, I can't. If you say you will be back and give a reason, I'll wait for you. If you say "brb", I expect you'll be back within the time the STF is running and we can do it fine until you get back. If you do end up taking 10-15 minutes or more, well I'm sorry but that's just too bad. Heartless and cold? Perhaps in your interpretation. From my perspective, I have this block of text to justify starting it with 3 "rdy" responses.
-My biggest pet peeve in space STFs is people shooting BoPs outside of their lane in CSE and shooting the probes in KASE when I'm guarding them all. No, really, I'm serious. I have this thing about efficiency and it just sorta throws it off in my mind since you could've been shooting something else, and now I don't have anything to do for ten seconds... you get the point.
-I dislike RML because it has a chance of not working, however small, compared to mrrmll being pretty much guaranteed to succeed.
Get a dinosaur with laser beams attached to their heads. The game will be less boring. :rolleyes:

HEY! I did not intend to hit the KASE probes with my Torp spread. They happened to be in the way. And only time I shoot CSE BoPs is only when they hit me.

Join us in the ground STFs. Once you start an HGE I guarantee you won't get bored in it. I have only done it once and it is a hell of an STF. Okay, it might not be extremely hard but it's certainly harder than all other ground STFs, it's a kind of a holy grail for us ground STFers.
Note: Yeah, I have started considering myself a good ground STF player, I have polished up my skills up to the point where denying that I perform well is sheer idiocy...
Note#2: HGE is harder than all other ground STFs when you consider that all are done with a good team. If the team is bad HGE is impossible, CGE and IGE are damn hard and KAGE is do-able but with loss of time and optional...
1. Because of my mines, CGE and KAGE are the simplest thing in the game. Just lay the mines, and let them do all the work. :rolleyes:
2. Has anyone besides me made a self-portrait officer? By that, I mean making one of your bridge officers look as much like the real you as the STO Tailor will allow. Or am I the only one who has ever done that? :rolleyes:
I don't wanna do pretty much any space STF. I can close my eyes and do an interactive scenario of them, I know them that well. They're boring to me now.
Well yes, they do become repetitive. But in all honesty, if not for STFs and Defera, I very well may not login as often as I do. I have already done virtually everything else there is to do in STO. So I can only hope that Season 8 will provide something worth doing more than once or twice.
Nothing left on which to spend my 1.8 Million Fleet Credits. Nothing left on which to spend my 600k (Yes, 6 HUNDRED FRAKKING THOUSAND) Dilithium. And I cannot turn it into Zen because the C-Store has nothing I want anymore. Simply put, I have all this wealth, but nothing interests me enough to make me want to buy it. Either that, or/and I already have bought all the stuff my characters need/want. :rolleyes:
I am thinking maybe I should go ahead use all that Dilithium to buy the Vesta Pack, just so that experimenting with it can give me something to do. :rolleyes:
HEY! I did not intend to hit the KASE probes with my Torp spread. They happened to be in the way. And only time I shoot CSE BoPs is only when they hit me.
I can understand a torp spread, or CSV, or FAW, or accidentally targeting them. What I don't like is when the transformer/generator/gate people shoot the probes every time they show up "because they were there."

I restrain my urge to shoot them due to my Probe duty.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.

how can they? half the S8 stuff hasn't even hit TRIBBLE yet
maybe it's that FE they've been talking about, the one that gives the weird-looking carrier as a reward for completing ala temporal ambassador
What carrier?

Again, what Carrier? If something has not yet been published in an official Developer Blog, then it is nothing more than here say and theory. However unlikely, I could have missed a Blog somewhere. So if I am wrong, please give a link to the official announcement.

It has been said countless times by devs and Brandon. Go to devtracker and search.
The Obelisk Carrier? I wanna see pics of it! And stats!

Don't get too excited. The extended maintenance is Cryptic-wide.

Because forum is a broad term. It could apply to rage, whining, pleading, trolling, or general scum & villainy, so you need a word to specify it.
