Concentus: Let's see, why do pets keep getting added to the game, and on the same subject, why do skills that stop and immobilize players keep getting added to the game, and apparently they make the game more annoying. I will agree with the stuns and immobilizations are very annoying. They drive me crazy in the other Science Fiction MMO that shall rename nameless.
Geko: Umm... so... why do they get added? First of all, I'd like the question to be a little more specific as far as ground or space. Like, there's, you know it's like any other game where, I think maybe a lot of people not taking their stun and control resistance abilities, and then those things don't last as long. Umm.. we don't really feel like we add a lot, and it's one of those things that when it happens, it kinda, you remember it and it's not fun when it happens to you. In space we're a lot more forgiving, because we've got more levers where we can take your engines offline, your weapons offline, your auxiliary, your shields, and um I don't think there's any actual holds in space that I can think of. And let's be clear in the terminology, that immobilization, you might call a root, where you can't move, and a stun could be in Star Trek, on the ground, is basically a hold, where you can't move or attack.
this explains some things- we all apparently need to spec into resists. who'd have thunk it?

Feel free to ask me about PVP or starship strategies. "No, I am not Borg!"
/channel_join OrganizedPVP If you are interested in learning PVP, looking for a team, or a private match

And maybe captain gecko an alleged expert on the game, will finally admit they really don't know what they are doing.
and maybe just maybe, rather than do stupid stuff or say stuff is fixed at random... actually either Test this stuff, or even just simply consult the pvp community.
Because nothing special was really done in the soon to be coming vids... this was BASIC testing. (let alone future, Live Tests in pvp that I will be doing down the road if issues are not addressed. I apologize in advance for any hurt feelings my klink team will be delivering over the next few weeks)
and afew tykens 3 also because don't make it too easy.
Think 5man of that is gonna be insta warpout for any good teams.
Oh and forgot tetryon glider maybe scattervolley 1-2 and hmm snb doffs.

i put a lot of points in resistance, but it barely works or plain doesn't work. what does work is helpless against the volume of pet disables and stuns though. we still don't know FOR SURE if insulators guards against the glider. dampeners is getting tweekes to work better against chronos, but it might work better against tractor beams too now, might be worth specing into 6 for it soon. the confuses are mostly harmless or to short to mater, except AMS, which can some times last 15 seconds it seems. is still spec 3 into it. subsystem repair would be fine if crew wasn't a multiplier. have to give up an active roster spot for the nurse to effectively defend against that. volume of that TRIBBLE is the problem, not people blowing off specing into resistance.
make sure to count the clicks, 20 is the number to beat

Nah. You can do it actually abit Better than the 5 karfi team. (the method I'm using will get faster kills) It's TRIBBLE.
Sides that if people weren't running 5 man extend garbage teams this sort of thing probably wouldn't need to happen
That aside, I'm mostly doing this for Fraps purposes. If you don't wanna deal with it don't que for CnH (as that is where Fraps presently works best with sto in pvp).
or maybe..not do it in favor of..keeping the game fun? ok I'll step off my soapbox and not queue at all for the next month

2010: This is Cryptic PvP. Please hold the line, your call is very important to us...
It'll get changed once the facerollers whine about it.
That aside, rejoice that I'm not posting the Super Dickmove 5000 Team Build on the forum that I cooked up! :eek:

Stupid Cryptic.
Ah well. Maybe my vids will help change things again.

I'll post an Article with these in sto Genital detailing what happened, how things broke down etc. But here's the raw footage as a preview.
i dont think you spelt genital right.... unless im completely mis-reading it.
ya... the final product of this is sure to be good. hey, 9 energy is beter then 0 right guys? over 200 particle generators and less then 2k shield drain, thats not much at all. and a single chrono proc cuts your movement in half, and a second cut your movement in half again i think?
the best way to load up on chrono procs is to get that carrier friend to use 2 advanced interceptors, think i had 4 from them once.
Its me m8
Imperial House Of Pancakes
i knew it!
Definitely good stuff.
On a side note apparently those Vids, while in 1080p mode has a 3D option too. Almost makes me wish I had 3D glasses for my Vid card if it was 3D capable.. (Can't remember if it is) lol Watch that in trippy 3D.
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
its a little known made up fact that aytahni, matteo, and zorena are all the same person! (there used to be another personality called "faithborn" but he said "**** this ****" a long time ago.)
:P
tsi actually has 4 leaders, 3 active 1 inactive in sto.

Let me translate with my corporations-are-people-my-friends-lol translator 3.1 here. More pets, more shiny, more stuff = more dilithium, more c-points, more money, cryptic = moar happy.
You really hope that cryptic cares about balance? more than quick monetary gains?
Isnt it "the TSI"?
Nope, and Kai missed out an extra fleet leader too, he keeps putting them down and forgetting where he left them.
Yeah that's one of the glorious things about Windows movie maker.. that or it's the drivers for my vid card
Anyway I'll get started on the Article tomorrow. We'll see what kind of responses it generates.
