I would like to join this channel. I have actually got the character i want in it to 50 yet(though my klink is 50) but i want to fly a sovy and eventually the gal x.my handle is @finemw1
Just ran a very long Elachi alert, in a TOS Constitution, T'liss, NX, Excelsior, and Rhode Island. Took us about an hour, and rewarded a mighty 7 marks, with 2% efficiancy. It was fun though.
That was a fun run today guys. (We ran a story mission with a team of 5- best ship that we had there was the excelsior lvl 30 or whatever) I must say I had a blast, and I genuinely am sorry but happy that y'all waited for my 600 Sec+ load time that once. 07
Shameless plug for an awesome channel. Even if we are flying in undergeared and underperforming ships Klingon side (mostly my bad), and are exploding more then the Tholians, we still have a good time yo!
FYI... In case I don't get a chance to say so tomorrow, good luck on the Dominion War simulation!
I am usually logging in too late to join you guys in the channel, besides the fact that I was out of town on vacation last week.
Take care!

This is relevant to my interests, but 66 pages is a lot to read and this thread dates back some months (possibly leading to outdated information), so here's some questions.
1. How strict is the console/weapon power rule? I'm not exactly packing a full set of Vulnerability Locators or anything, but I don't see a sense of canon as an excuse to not even try to pull my weight in damage. I don't forsee this being an issue since even though I do tend to run 100+ wep power whenever possible, I don't just blindly assign all power to wep/shields, but I'd like a clear answer anyway.
2. What are the exact guidelines on Federation torps? Canonically the Federation uses photon, quantum, and tricobalt torpedos - the latter on newer ships and in limited quantities, respectively. But, say I wanted to use quants on my Cheyenne. Would that be acceptable? It seems sensible to me that given the previous state of war, older ships would be modified to fire modern payloads, but I'd like to hear one way or the other for sure.
3. What torpedo type would be canon for Orions? Right now my Orion uses the hargh'peng torps, but those are honestly more Klngon-specific. Should I just default to photon to be safe?
Other than that, the way I build and fly should jive very well with this community. I gear enough not to suck but I don't stack a mean alpha or number crunch or any of that stuff, and I think it'd be neat to fly with like-minded individuals.

1. It's not really strict at all, what we try to imply is keeping the DPS down and trying to aim for 3 - 6K DPS. That can be achieved many ways and anyone including my self can help you with that. We use parsers to keep tabs on our DPS. I personally use spire tac consoles paired with 2 fleet adv phasers on my Gal and only do about 3k DPS. The sweet spot for DPS is 5k IMO.
2. You can use quantums on your Cheyenne np.
3. Hmm... for Orions I would go photon but we can always discuss this amongst ourseleves. We have a lot of knowledgeable Captains within STB that know more then me.
I hope that I answered your questions. In the end the goal is to have fun with keeping what we've seen in ST on screen.
You can contact me in game @trizeo1 or leave your handle here for an invite.

I don't think that'll be too much of a problem. I've been parsed by others in STFs two or three times and never broke 5k. I'm sure y'all will catch me if it turns out I'm too far outside of the desired range, and if so I'll do what I can to rein it in.
Handle's @Jexsam. Kick me an invite and we'll see what's what.
I understand that we are meant to use faction specific weapons for our starships and I agree with this but concerning the Wells are we able to use Anti-proton weapons on the Wells? I prefer using Anti-proton especially since Phaser weapons don't look good on the Wells class and the ship does come armed with Anti-proton beams, also it uses Chroniton torpedoes but would I be able to equip my Voth transphasic Chronitons instead? They're mark X and came with my Voth Bastion Flight Deck Cruiser.

Personally, I would say antiproton is a definite, and chronic on is a definite, but you will have to check about the Voth chronic one, unless they have no separate effect, in which case it will be fine.

I see no problem with the AP or Torp Launcher. I run Voth AP on my Science character for her Temporal Destroyer. Only wish it sounded less like popcorn.

Considering the Orions are a part of the KDF in the game, I see no problem with them using a Klingon torpedo.

AP should be fine, since that's what it comes outfitted with, and the chroniton DBB (if you have it, which you should, because it's so pretty ) is boosted by AP. As for the torpedo, as long as it looks like a Chroniton it shouldn't be an issue.
I'm actually running the gravimetric photon on my timeship shuttle, that's definitely a bigger stretch than the Voth chroniton. On the actual Wells/Mobius, I probably wouldn't use that and opt for chronitons instead.
Comments
Can I bring my Oberth? If not I have quite a few BoPs I can bring.
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
Oh yes, we have got to do that. It feels like they have made it easier since last time, though it is probably because of teamwork, nad co-ordination.
P.S. To anyone interested, I'm logging on any minute now.
I actually like Delta Rising.

Stop flying into the Elachi cresents that are charging in a TOS Constitution?
(How many times can I reply a couple of minutes after you?)

That's the worst idea ever.... Why wouldn't you???
Support the Typhoon and Jupiter class starships!
Lets put it this way, it doesn't work well with 10K/12.5K hull.

T1 Connie hull is OP. Plz nerf.

More than twice the length. The in-game scale seems right -- the D'deridex is huge.
Oh, and came across this while looking that up...green phaser beam. ~they're canon~ :P

That's a Romulan Disruptor Beam. Green Phasers are specific to STO.
Our Battles
It's from Contagion -- they call the Romulans' beams phasers in that episode.
You didn't expect this series to be consistent with itself, did you?

Would like to respectfully request a channel invite considering many of the ideas for this channel I same mentality regarding playstyle in STO.
Toon name in STO is Fleet Admiral Lancelot du Lancelot@devetaki.

Many thanks
Normally, the enemy does more exploding. xD

Captains 07,
Invites were sent and I believe @devetaki & @geminisierra have already said hi in chat.
Hope to hear from @vabben1 soon.
Thank you for your interest in STB and hopefully it's something that will tickle your ST fancy.
