Cruisers and EPt(X) changes

edited May 2013 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I respectfully ask that the Cryptic development team reconsider/dismiss the planned change to the Emergency Power to (X) currently being tested on Tribble.

The reasons why should be obvious if you fly cruisers on a regular basis as this will furhter gimp their DPS in a DPS centric game and severely damage at least two cruiser builds that many captains use. Cruiser skippers (and Science Vessels in PvE for that matter) already have a tough time with performance which in turn leads to great deal of prejudice from the majority of of the Escort flying community.

I hate to jump on a bandwagon and boil things down so simply and demeaning, but truly there is validity to the argument of those who have taken to calling this game "Escorts Online"

If change must happen, I would suggest rather than making changes that further weaken cruisers you should examine the mechanics to make them better. Include changes to the endgame and Science Vessels so that we are all not shoehorned into flying an escort to be endgame viable. Right now we are either in a "rp ship", "toothless brick" or just plain "being stubborn".

Cruiser captains, please sign. Stop this ridiculous and unnecessary change before it goes live. Let the developers know we do not want this and clearly state why in as pleasant a way you can. Vote no on changes to EPt(X)!

(And Science Vessels need love too. But that is a different topic)

    I don't think Cryptic really cares about anything but Escorts anymore, tbh.

    Check the Tribble forums, most of the changes are being reverted, including the cooldowns, which are generally considered the highly problematic part.

    They did. And are reversing the cooldown changes. But keeping the buffs.

    They already have. There was announcement that they're rolling back the EPtX cooldown changes, but keeping the buff they gave to EPtW, EPtAux, and EPtE. All EPtX now have a 30 second duration (no holes if you're going with 2 copies of EPtX and no gaps if you're running EPtX and Y).

    And this is why discussion about Tribble issues needs to stay in the Tribble forums.

    So very sorry for placing this thread in what you view is the wrong place (though the argument could be made it is indeed a general topic) or for not thoroughly reading everything on the boards before making a thread.

    Please accept my sincere apologies for offending you and wasting the time you took to read it.

    No need to get all sarcastic about it. There are good and sensible reasons why issues from Tribble shouldn't be brought to the general feedback area, like, it confuses people who don't watch both. The issue you bring up, EPTX, has been extensively discussed over on the Tribble forum and the changes have already been disavowed by Cryptic. Bringing it over here, divorced of the hundreds of pages of discussion that has already been had, makes it seem like a current ongoing issue. It isn't. Not even on the test server.

    All I'm asking is that you help preserve the sanity of members with delicate emotional states. :D

    Yes, this thread should be closed to avoid futher panic.

The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”

    The Cruiser life support machine has mercifully not been switched off... yet. ;)
