EV Suits in New Event

markfalconemarkfalcone Member Posts: 245 Arc User
edited January 2014 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Was wondering if anyone has a guide to getting all of the suits yet. I didn't really understand what they meant about the "Optional" stuff until I got in there and there does appear to be a few decisions that need to be made along the way, what I assume to be the "Optional" stuff, but no real guidance as to what goes with what. So I got whatever EV suit I got and can only assume that I'll have to start writing down huge amounts of material just to keep up with what decisions I made all the times before.

Or am I missing something else?

    Since the severs are dead I can't tell you exactly what the differing stats are, but i've done two playthroughs and gotten two suits out of it - one called an "Enforcer" suit and one called a "Sharpshooter" suit.
    You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

    I think you get a different suit for each defense option (beams/swarmers/none.)

    I've only done it once, but I got the "Marksman" suit

    That's what I was thinking. I only got to do it twice before the servers crashed. I chose the beam defense option for both characters and got the marksman suit.

    Due to patch time, I didn't have a chance to do the event yet, only start the mission. I didn't participate much in the Winter Wonderland, and this is the first event since then. Anyone mind giving me a beginner's intro to the whole thing?

    I did the Beam option as well for the "Marksman" suit

    I have a similar thread to this in the feature episode section that might be a candidate for merging, if any mods are around.

    Anyway, the progress y'all are making would coincide with ours.

    I chose to use no support, was award the "Striker" version of the suit.

    Are the EVA suits new designs or just more retreads of the civilian mining suit?

    Probably right. I chose swarmers and got the enforcer suit.

    What I said previously seems to be the case since those who chose (and bragged) the no-support defense received Striker and those who chose beams received Marksman. I have both these since I played it twice, but not sure what the swarmers option's armor is called.

    EDIT: Oh, Enforcer, I guess. :p

    Could be right, because IF I remember correctly (currently have too much blood in my coffee system to be accurate) I did the beam option and I think my suit was the Marksman.

    No point to the EV suits really, unless they're gonna pay me lobi for collecting them and not the other way around.

    The Dyson combat suit is far and beyond better just due to the crouch-shield and the set bonus, the only thing that sets the EV suits apart is the fact you don't die in hazardous environments, which even the used hand-me-down one accomplishes.

    While not many, there are missions which adds combat to the hazardous enviroment, so keeping a version or five of the best suits somewhere would be wise in the long run.

    The lobi paladin and sentinel have identical stats, right?

    Also, how much does the fact that they don't protect against cold or toxic have an effect on things?

    Really wish they'd add in more EV suit content, a full STF on a derelict Borg cube* that has been space'D, in utter darkness so youre restricted to the suit / Device Flashlights would be so awesome.



    * Elachii cruiser, Tholian web spinner, Klingon starbase, whatever.

    That brings up a great point: Since part of this "Anniversary Celebration" is the option of using Lobi, why not have Lobi be part of the celebration such as having hidden Lobi available in the Featured Episode?

    Are there lobi suites? We were discussing the Feature Episode suits...

    You can turn in a set of the three different EV Suits (from the featured episode), together with 50 lobi, to get one of two different suits from the lobi store. :)

    Thank you Cryptic, but no, thank you. I'm roughly 50 lobi short of my first lobi ship and I went that far only because I didn't spend lobi on useless TRIBBLE.

    Doing it wrong.

    Don't spend lobi on a ship, spend ec.
    at 4-50 lobi per box, the average is 5 lobi per key.

    800/5 = 160 keys

    160 x 1.5 mil per key sold on the exchange instead of used to open those boxes = 240 mil.

    ...for one lobi ship.. Which can be found for 60-80 mil on the exchange.


    In other words, all that time spent opening boxes for lobi, if you sold the keys on the exchange, you would've made enough to buy at least 3 lobi ship packs off the exchange.

    I know the striker is a +expose +exploit.

    I think it's both. I know it's definitely +exploit.

    Striker actually gives bonuses to Critical Hit and Severity.

    My bad, I only glanced at it. Thanks for the correction.
