    Forget to put on any type of shields.

    Or not forgetting to regenerate any down shield facing.

    Or just letting everything shoot you while you sit still and not fire back.

    Do any of these and other players will praise you and you'll get all the women.

    All captains know that turrets are a reasonable choice for aft weapons. Smart captains know that turrets in all weapon slots make your ship one to be feared.

    Never bother with your skill tray or controlling your ship, you have highly trained bridge officera who know their job and will respond to any situation without u telling them each time, also dont bother training them as they are living beings capable of learning of their own.

    1)Use aux2batt without technician doffs,on a science ship.Your teammates will thank your inordinately high weapon,shields and engine power in your science ship!!

    2)When in an escort,dont equip shields.This frees up valuable power that you can put in important places like auxilliary!

    funny thing is....i can pull this off in my FED HEC, with Sif gens in the eng slots and the borg defelctor and engine, with a full entoruage of human boffs (alien tac toon) ive had passive hull regen IN COMBAT as high as 140.....even after the nerf lol.....

    heck, my my eng (Caitian) in her avenger with a full human bridge crew is getting ~50% in combat hull regen lol..without sif gens (goes off to check what it would be WITH sif gens)

    on-topic: go and fight tholians at nurkara without an EV suit...you will do wonders and be hailed as a god :p

    Weapons are for the weak and frail. Real men wait until their ship (preferably a type 6 shuttle) hits 20% hull and uses ramming speed as their sole method of dealing damage.

    When you're fighting a Borg Unimatrix, being hit by a big pale green energy ball will increase power to all your subsystems by 60 points. And feel free to completely ignore any regen probes that appear.

    Actually, that I wouldn't mind. It's the weirdo on DS9 a couple weeks ago who was playing some ad on his voice chat that bugged me (especially because the first line kept repeating itself).

    Biggest problem with voice chat: you can't see who it is to report them for being dicks.

    Repulse the nanite spheres towards, not from the big nanite transfer borg hub thing. I see some captains doing this already. Your team will thank you for it.

    If you absolutely have to throw away tribbles,atleast do it in a ground map,throwing them in space feels pretty bad:(


    Anyway back to topic:never give your boffs anhy consumable.even if it costs only 20 ec.It saves money and keeps them fit!

    Send a PM to a random player in zone chat and ask what brand of underpants they wear. If they say they don't wear any, ask them if they water ski naked.......on their butt.
