Yes, and yes. Had 6 ships of 4 different types in that furball (keldon, galor, jem heavy assault and jem DD), ALL of my shield and hull heals as well as omega3 unused , no field gens and STILL kicked their TRIBBLE with an engie.
Whats your point ?
I pull my borg engine OFF for combat because the reactive shielding is better than the autonomous regeneration.
Then I misread your post, I apologise
You would not have been the first person who has had to be corrected on that matter, just wish the devs would update the tooltip to stop the confusion.

Do you want to know the irony behind your statements? BioWare just got busted for recycling levels and content in "Dragon Age II". As a matter of overall fact, the fans went into a major uproar.
Having asked for feedback on DAII, the strongest messages in the voluminous replies was that players wanted BioWare to stop reusing levels, feature decisions that matter, and to once again allow equipment for followers.
If you want to be the best in this industry, while winning over zen paying customers, you should learn from the errors made by your competitors.
"Star Trek: Online's" problems go beyond recycled game elements. All the endgame content has zero context. You want people to buy endgame content, but you refuse to give them a reason to buy stuff. No story. No leveling. No overall goals.
Buy a c-store ship for $25? Okay, why? Can I use it for leveling? Can I use it to play new featured episodes? Where is the depth to this game? All the endgame content is solely geared towards grinding.
Fleetbases are virtual reality sweat shops, which have zero purpose outside of giving the illusion of progress. Will we be able to save the universe by building these fleetbases? How about those season seven colonies?
"Star Trek: Online's" endgame is an endless feedback loop that gets you to nowhere. You don't win the game. You don't make more leveling progress. You don't get special ranks for reaching each tier. You get recycled equipment and empty promises.
---- EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING ----
Why are the advanced and fleet armors, shields, and weapons weaker than the Borg gear? People are putting endless resources, effort, time, and physical money into building these bases, so why the hell is it not paying off?
Why do all of the endgame armors look like the regular low level ones?
We are paying to obtain powerful and unique weapons to tank and win the game, so where the hell is it all hiding?
If you want to be the best in the industry, you do things better than your competitors.

That table isn't very imaginative. All the cool existing tables that could have provided inspiration in decades of Star Trek and they choose something from Ikea. It's the 25th century so why is it a crappy glass table. There's already computers built into tables today so they could have done that or had a starmap/base schematic.
If it came down to getting one of two options faster than the other: fixing content leading up to endgame OR adding endgame content ... what would the consensus be?
On the flip side:
The federation project was meant to go there. What I like is that it fills the void in that glass room. Something needed to go there. It almost feels right. It also feels rushed.
The biggest let down to me was the gold ships. They look out of place standing in front of them and they are not in a straight line
They are also not on shelf's or hooks like on our ships in the mess hull. They are just floating there. Some are put with the nacelle in the wall. The deep space science vessel and the heavy escort models look like they have the phase device from ST:TNG Pegasus (Stuck in the wall). While the Miranda is a foot away from the wall. http://i.imgur.com/7ReTT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oOT5f.png http://i.imgur.com/bxSxA.png
If you have to choose between the two get the kdf. If you have ocd and are irritated that the area is empty knowing there should be something in there the entire time then you will suffer after when you look at these ships. I am glad the space is filled though.

Come on use your imagination!!
I think a table with a little hologram of your starbase or a starship, or a few of those laptop like computers Picard always had, would have been so cool.
I mean come on, have you seen the consoles on the Timeship? THEY ARE EPIC with actual working non static displays..... But then again, those are lock box goodies, where is seems at late all the real nifty stuff goes.......
Oh you mean duty officer hell where a player who may not be willing or able to pay for zen and stock up on 2000000023829387324987 duty officers can go and 'participate'?
I tell you you think the dilithium costs are bad? I think the market needs the drain. I can tell you its the 5000+ duty officers required that really makes it a pain in the TRIBBLE. I have a nearly full roster of DOFF's and i cant contribute a single one because none of them are the roles required right now. And they're the only things left to do. I try to keep room for the refugees colonists and prisoners i sometimes get. What fun that is. :P
Makes ya want more DOFF roster slots, don't it?
Guess what they sell in the C-Store? I don't think that's accidental. Even if you're buying fleet DOFFs with fleet credits, or busting Purple DOFFs down into an army of Whites, you need the extra space. (Maybe you're already close to the 400 cap, but I'm only a little over halfway on one of my characters)
I'm not saying I like or agree with some of the DOFF requirements, mind you.

That happens on a lot of objects honestly. If I had to guess, it's because the textures and the invisible walls they use to actually make them seem like it's an object don't always line up. This aplied to the floating crates by the tailor also, why ships can't get anywhere near close enough, etc. The Crytpic engine has a lot of limitations. With DX12 on the way, we'll probably never see a finished DX11 either. Yet again, beta testing on Holodeck at its finest.

Hey if you don't go up to that platform you wont see the uglyness right? I mean, for anyone with even a hint of aesthetics would probably scream at the completely out of place goldships. They should of put some kind of internal fishtank spanning that side that would of been way nicer, but no ... we get recycled junk that is completely out of place, and a table that was poorly designed.
About the KDF side, the chairs and the whole project are cool, but any reason to only two of them have fur, and the others not? And is not too asimetric, in front of the fireplace. Aside this, the whole project looks really good to me.
About the Federation side, a blue-glass table with chairs are ok, but for a 200.000 dilithium price, everyone wanted something more unique or not gived a recycled impression.
I know the limited time project is something novelty, a eye candy. But need or to give a better impression or have some special function.
As sugestion, you can leave some options to alter minor parts of the projecto, like the type of the chair and table or other thing to make the fleet admin the right to make the starbase with more unique look.
The table is horrible... anything set on the table actually rest on an invisible plane below the blue glass... the chairs are much too far back... and the 3 dots on it arent even aligned to the center of it?
Who the heck designed this thing? Fire them... its really bad...
Also, while I'm at it... what is up with the trophies? They arent evenly spaced and atleast 2 of them are clipped through the wall... (not to mention that the last one is a kitbash of akira pieces.) And why no option to change them?'
This project was one I was waiting for... and its so shoddily designed its shocking.

Agreed. This took all of 30 seconds in 3Dmax - and considering that this is what the pays the bills these days, it's shockingly bad.

The chair distance isn't such of a big deal, but the round things on the table aren't even centered to...well, anything as far as I can see. If you're gonna charge 200,000 dilithium for these projects, can you at least make sure they look up to snuff? Come on guys, get on the QA team already!

Yeah it was hilarious them claiming it takes time to test these things out after they are made - or copied!! What a joke - and a lie or you would not have had a enterprize picture behind a plant - or do they close their eyes while testing? I guess it would be too much time for them to visit the base with the project up to see if everything looks ok. If someone does and there is this many mistakes then they should be fired!
Guess I'm not so upset about my Alt-Base still working on the Open the Window one...

I have to agree with others, the recycled content factor combined with the awful and lazy placement of these items is simply unacceptable. The value of this item is about $12.50 in real money, its not a dollar or two.
Anyone that does this quality of work and presents it to customers should be fired, and who ever approved this should be as well.

You know people really need to drop this, if you dont like it go play Eve.
Very minor correction:
PWE didn't buy the "engine and title" from Cryptic; PWE bought Cryptic. It is now a wholly-owned subsidiary.
