Today, the few of us decided to run a few STF's. We started off with CSE. It went fairly straight forward all but the mass quantities of repetative one-shots from just about everything. As a result, we were short of time to do the optional but the Kang has never survived so well. It was a successful run. We continued on with ISE next and that went as well as always with the optional in hand. We moved on to KASE. Optional in hand, that was a successful run. Lastly, we decided to have one more go at ISE. Optional in hand, we got through it fairly fast.
That wrapped up today's event. Thank you to everyone who made an appearance today! I hope to see you all again tomorrow or sometime soon.
Today we brushed the dust off of our shuttles and did a little Shuttle/Fighter Space PvP. For this event, I cracked a Widow Fighter on my Ferasan to try something new. Anyone who doesn't have one, they are fun! However, they lack an Engineering console solot so they seem a little fragile. 2 Tactical slots though can be an asset if you have cannons to go on there, which I didn't. I sure hope Cryptic decides to give us official Shuttle/Fighter PvP some day. They can limit what makes it into different things already. A smaller space map limited to shuttls for PvP sure would be welcome!
Dawson renewed interested in the Tetryon-Plasma Impulse Engine from the Yellowstone. Even though I have it, I have never actually used it. Hort seemed to be slightly annoyed by it in the first round and hte blue cloud I flew through in the second pretty much dragged me to a complete stop. It's a shame these are only Fed side and no more unbound ones exist on the Exchange. They would make a great addition to my Widow Fighter. Lets hope these things make it into the account wide items in future. They sit utterly wasted being limited to the Fed side.
Thank you to everyone who came out for today's event! I hope to see you all again next week or sometime soon!
So far, Tribble Ball (soccer with Tribbles) is winning this weeks poll. Yet again, we are reinventing PvP in a way that is fun that Cryptic is surely to ignore. :cool:
This is a Fed only event this week, guys! We would like it ot be Fed VS KDF but sadly, Cryptic doesn't allow opposing factions to visit fleet starbases. We do need to know who can definitely make it though. We will try to have you divided into teams for this prior and give you a primary color to wear for your team. Who knows, we might even come up with uniforms specificly for this.

Today, it was just Senshi and myself. We took on Colonly Invasion first which went well. 30 Fleet Marks for that is always a good start. After that, we took on ISE for some DL. Optional in hand, that was a success as well. That wrapped up this quiet day for the TFBB. Thank you, Senshi! I hope to see a good turn out for tomorrow's Tribble Soccer event.
Thanks to Cryptic's poor implementation of the Tribbles, we coudn't have today's Tribble Soccer match. Even when in the starbase, people with the game on low settings couldn't see the Tribbles at all. Most annoying though is, people in the same instance of the base couldn't see the same Tribbles! I guess Cryptic's code just isn't... refined enough to allow more than a few players to see the same static object. However, there is alwasy the back up plan that never fails when Cryptic decides to spoil our fun ideas.
Thank you everyon who turned up expecting Tribble Soccer and ended up trashing the Ten Forward Fleet Starbase! Thankfully, Erzi is a part of Allegheny so she's not responsible for the clean up! I hope you see you all again next week or some time soon.
We have no poll this week so whatever the boss decides is fine with me.
Important note: It appears Cryptic/PWE has lost sync with time. The STO boards currently list as 4 hours behind EST. I guess math isn't the only thing Cryptic has trouble grasping. :P

Today's TFBB consisted of 3 STF runs. We started with ISE, took on KASE second, and funished up with CSE. ISE went well. Quick to start, things died fast, and we finished up with the optional. KASE was slightly different. We seemed to be a bit short on DPS and missed the optional by about a minute. It was a successful run though. Note the declining trend. Lastly, CSE didn't go well. We have a PuG camping the Kang and not doing much at all. About 8 minutes in, it was all over.
Thank you everyone who made an appearance at today's event. I hope to see you all again tomorrow or some time soon!
Today's TFBB was 3 STF runs. ISE, KASE, and CSE. ISE went well. Optional in hand, it was an easy success. KASE had some hiccups. Hort took an 80k hit and a probe got through the gate. Donatra at the end just wouldn't die either. Warp Plasma seemed to heal her up at times so that definitely didn't help. Still a successful run though. CSE was fairly straight forward but the Kang took a little too much damage to keep the optional. It was a successful run though.
Thank you to everyone who came out for today's TFBB! We hope to see you all again tomorrow or sometime soon. Have an awesome and safe Labor Day weekend!
Thankfully the global chat servers came back online with about 20 minutes to spare before TFBB time. The focus of today's even was ground PvP and it was a nice change of pace.
We had a few close matches today other than Z and I taking on a team of 3. Considering we were 1 short though, I think we did well. Thank you to everyone who came out for today's event! I hope your Labor Day long weekend has been treating you well so far.
Another weekend is upon us so what shall we do? No poll this week so it's People's Choice! If you show up, you have a say in what we will do that day. See you all at 2PM ET.
Note: Remember Cryptic can't tell time and the current forum time is 4 hours behind Eastern Time. I'm sure PWE is sitting off the west coast of the U.S. on a fleet of ships supplied by the Chinese government prepared to attack America with... debt collectors! :P
Today's TFBB consisted of 2 space PvP matches. The first of the two was a little one-sided but the second round was very close at first. Both teams did very well in both matches.
Weapons must conform to or lower than the rank of the ship tier, unless we're running at level cap.
Lieutenant: Tier One (Standard Issue, Mk I, Mk II)
Lieutenant Commander: Tier Two (Mk III, Mk IV)
Commander: Tier Three (Mk V, Mk VI)
Captain: Tier Four (Mk VII, Mk VIII)
Rear Admiral Lower/Brigadier General: Tier Five-- excluding VA/LG Ships Galaxy-R, Defiant-R, Intrepid-R, Kar'fi Carrier, B'rel-R, Varanus, Maruder (Mk IX, Mk X)
No Scaling weapons and consoles are permitted if we are running a tiered event. Scalling weapons and consoles are only perminted at max level (VA/LG) PvP.
Example:
Tier One Gear:
Crafted or Bought as long as its Mk I or Mk II.
No C-Store TOS Phasers, Breen Cluster Torpedo, etc. since they scale.
*Miranda, Oberth, NX, Constitution, and Bird of Prey (Pre-Level 21 starter KDF ship. Also know as the T1 B'rel) are all permitted.
Due to changes in the skill tree, all tiered space combat events will not use captain skills. Only Bridge Officer Skills are permitted here. Devices are permitted if they are obtainable at said Tiered rank (This mainly concernes the Scorpion fighters obtainable in the Reman FE arc.). Turrets, however, are prohibited in a Tiered Combat match since these scale to player level.
Thank you to everyone who came out for today's event! I hope to see you all again tomorrow or sometime soon!
