KDF Commander, 35. Need something to motivate me to keep going. My ship is barely mediocre for pve missions (1 dual plasma, 2 techyon cannons and a plasma torpedo, back has 2 turrets.) (BTW, they are all MK VIII cept for the turrets being MK VI.)

My pve ground is also sub-par or mediocre. Everything takes forever to kill and when a mission is finally over I'm more like "finally" then anything.

I'm 31, just got out of the army after 7 1/2 years (get out early program) and looking for a dedicated MMO to sit in and enjoy.

Anyone got any good news for me? I grew up w/ Picard on the television LOL. :)

    you looking for a fleet?

    the game does pick up when you hit level 50.. thats when you get access to the good stuff.
    [12:35] Vessel Two of Two Unimatrix 01 deals 225232 (271723) Plasma Damage to you with Plasma Lance.
    [12:44] Vessel One of Two Unimatrix 01 deals 1019527 (1157678) Kinetic Damage to you with Plasma Energy Bolt Explosion.

    Not really just hoping that better gear comes along or more interesting missions or something. I just did that dreaded elachi mission (3 waves of 9 birds who jackrabbit all over the place) and I was an inch from uninstalling lol.

    joining a fleet can help.. you can get advise on ship builds, and many fleets help out newer players.

    If you're already bored then STO probably isn't for you. Sad fact but true. Every game isn't for everyone.

    STO requres a lot of micro-managing. You need to be constantly upgrading your ground and ship gear as you level. You need to learn what boff abilities work best for you, etc. Even though combat is super-easy in STO if you're not someone who wants to do the micro-managing things will only get more frustrating as you get higher level.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Yea it's really a lot slower (which allows for the micromanaging) I feal like I'm a man in the forest with a wounded leg trying to get to the nearest highway LOL.

    But I loved the show on t.v.

    put a torpedo in one of your rear weapon slots, when they jump behind you throw a present on them

    its a single-player/co-op game until 50, then it becomes multiplayer with fleet events, PVP, high-level PVE missions, etc. it can be boring to do single-player campaign but it goes by quick.

    I think I'm done. That elachi mission was utterly...garbage lol. Took me an hour and a half and I got a tachyon gun mk vii. lol.

    No hard fealings to anyone if you like it great. It's just not for me.

    Good luck with whatever game you choose to play! There's hundreds out there to choose from. :)

    NP, I abandoned it the first time I played it too. Came back and gave it another try a few months later and enjoyed it more the second time

    OP you strike me as the type that just puts in the cheat codes for unlimited ammo and life when you play games.. and dont bother to actually play the game.


    you cant abandon a game cause you fail one mission.. and as for the reward.. you are a low level.. you dont even have access to the good weapons and gear until you hit level 50.

    like i said you can team up with people and it will make it easier..

    plus you can lose the cannons and get dual cannons.. or even beams.

    cannons have the lowest dps. also its not wise to mix energy types..
