I think the biggest issue is that the difference between someone who is 'unskilled' and doesn't know how to use their abilities to their maximum effectiveness, and the pro player who has everything perfect is too great. What I would like to see is the disparity of power reduced, by making many of the abilities we spam automatically, toggle features, and maybe even outright removing some of them and baking them into the ships. Really, does anyone here find it fun to bind half your bridge officer abilities to one key and mash that to auto-win? Because I don't. And I wouldn't do it that way if it wasn't the most effective, least arduous way of playing.

Keybinds are OP. Plz nerf.
Honestly, I don't use a system like that. Maybe I should...
Actually, I came in to say Khan costumes are OP. Please nerf.
Now stop distracting us from being OT.

That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.
I guide my ship with one hand and franticly click skill buttons with the other. :P Works ok.
joysticks are UP plz buff! :P
That's what I do as well (although with mouse instead of joystick; I've been meaning to get a joystick for some time now, since my old one was for Windows 3 and 4, but it did work on Windows 95 and 98 ...).
Devs, stop listening to X is OP, plz nerf. Please?
I'd like to agree, because you're not entirely wrong.
However, what you're suggesting - on a fundamental level - is that the Devs should flat-out ignore feedback. Which might be how we got into the mess we're in at the minute.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
Crystalline Catastrophe was, though, at one point, well-nigh impossible (if not completely impossible) 3 out of 5 times you went in, not due to your skills (or lack thereof) nor those of your team (ditto), but simply because the spam of Mirror Universe ships was infinite and a single hit from the Entity would vaporize your ship at full shield/hull strength. Even the Devs said it was messed up, once they saw what was going on.
I was so disappointed when they 'fixed' that. It was a real hardcore challenge and I loved it. Sometimes we made it, sometimes we didn't, but that was so much fun.
Tyr shall give me strength! For the glory of Tempus! I am the hands of Shar! Flames of Kossuth, protect me! Oghma, grant me knowledge! Lolth commands, and I obey!
what? you haven't trained your loyal minions to queue doff missions for you? :P
The short answer?
No.
The long answer?
We adopted these two kiddos out of foster care. Anyone dealing with foster kids can expect those children to have some issues. There is a reason they landed in foster care, after all. Completely not their fault, but still issues to deal with. Anyways, Reactive Attachment Disorder is not fun. I can't trust my 9 y/o not to smear $#^+ on her walls, never mind do DOff assignments for me. Not if I want my keyboard and mouse intact and sanitary, or not get banned from the game for her actions in Zone Chat.
Let's just say if I ever run into the birth father again, he better hope I'm nerfed.
Downer posts are OP. Plz nerf.
5 mins to the bus pickup!!!!

You're brutally honest here, I have to take my hat off for you, sir.
I have a niece with the same problem, not really fun I can tell you that..

Yeah, sorry... Sometimes you just need to "blow chunks" in a virtual sense, or you might for real. The other day, my wife called to let me know the latest "trick" she'd found the 9y/o pulling ($#^+ is an oooold trick). I was walking into work as the phone call wrapped up. My boss heard me give a big sigh as I hung my coat up. I think he's still sorry he asked, he got the full torrent of virtual vomit...
Its kinda become my catchphrase in the game. If you ever seen me in some channels I subscribe to, im always saying something is OP, plz nerf.
Its actually a joke based on forum threads.
Why in STO are we not allowed to fail? Why is the game so ridiculously easy?
Power creep?
DPS channels?
Overpowered ships?
Stacking XYZ into 123?
No, I tell you why the game is so ridiculously easy, readers.
Its because of X is OP, plz nerf.
Every time we run into something that kills us, OMGAHD IT MUST BE HAX, NERF IT NAO I MAY NOT DIE!!
Vaper shoots you with beamoverload 3 and pops your cruiser because you didnt react fast enough with a counter or were sitting still.
BO is OP, plz nerf.
Borg shoots you with a shield facing down because you arent redistributing shields...

Crystalline entity spawns help and demolishes your whole team over and over, making it unplayable, while others complete it just fine by using science powers.
ENTITY IS OP, PLZ NERF.
There are less than five things in the whole game total that are still failable (the 4 ground STFs and No Win Scenario) for even a PUG group. At worst someone might fail a space optional or get bugged lances in Hive Space otherwise. You cannot fail anything because X is OP, plz nerf.
Devs, stop listening to X is OP, plz nerf. Please?
No ****ty skill system is op... I've died many times because I'd click a heal and it would white out the ability but not work.

BTW. My earlier post? I didn't mention the other one is 5 and as she spent less time in the $#^++? house, so is in a better place mentally. In fact, the 2 hour school delay means she missed kindergarden alltogether today. It is nap time, she is asleep on my lap as I type on my phone.
Naptime is UP. Plz Buff.

Wouldn't that mean the $#^++? skill system is UP?
$#^++?$#^++?$#^++?
Better?

I once heard someone say that one of his greatest achievements in life was teaching his kids to beat him at boardgames. I suspect something similar is true of computer games.

Personally, I don't think it'd take much effort at all.
Sad but true...

i teach my son to be good at video games and card games so to not get beat by a kid I HAVE to get better...
So, didn't they used to do server maint/updates at 7 am PST? This 6 am stuff translates to 9 am where I am. The children I mentioned earlier in the thread just got on the bus, I thought I'd have a good hour to play before they take things offline, and WHAM!
5 Minutes.
For a game I use to escape the troubles of real life with, this was a particularly poor morning for the Cryptic Team to start their workday at 5 am ('cuz you know they didn't just stroll in first thing and pull the plug!).
Escapes are UP. Plz Buff.
5 AM workdays are OP. Plz Nerf.
(I know, I know. Most people are throwing parties that they are doing the maintenance EARLIER...)
