How can a game be P2W if you can get the P2W currency ingame, completely free? Every MMO is a grind, get over it.
I'd have to obsess with STO for months to grind out the gear. I'd rather obsess over other games instead= I do not get the gears=almost everyone would have a doubled edge on me=I'd rather not PvP, ever.
Funny thing is this guy joined the game right as bug ships became more available. Move along nothing to see here nobody special. Now if Aythani comes around theres a "true" skilled escort pilot. At least you are honest Yoda about sucking at ground pvp most space guys couldn't hack it in ground pvp trust me :P
Erm incorrect here, ive seen yoda in defiants and trust me arguably best and most consistent escort pilot in the game and all round decent guy, him or mayb anathosion from pandas helped me most in pvp when i started

He may have joined a bit before s5 I am not 100 percent sure but my first memory of him was in a bug relying on target engines 3 and it's 40 percent chance to proc offline mode. Yes rank 3 sst where 40 percent chance to proc back then.

I can categorically tell you thats incorrect be it a lie or misled he has never had a beam on his bug - i know ive seen the builds they are on the turkish rp heroes site, hes always ran dhc n turrets 100%
I've been getting a lot of DPS hike this (from mk 12 to 14) and t6 OP that (peeps are banning t6s from their winter tournament!)...
As you all were saying.
IMO, i dont think p2w has anything to do with it. of course it can give an individual an edge, but as long as i have been playing this game, i've put very little money into it. I havent been in the pvp scene much lately, but i'm sure anyone who knows me will tell you that i use little, if any, p2w.
Its all in the pilot skills, timing, buff reading , and how well you understand your ships.
I've helped many people in my time playing sto, and have also been helped by many people.
I use simple keybinds, no macros, and i click all of my abilities.
now ground pvp, thats different. im not good at it lol
that may have have been the case a couple years ago but it is not now, go ahead and take someone who cant spend money who has a t5 ship or t5-u,,and let them go against someone who spent hundreds of dollars with a tier6 intel with all mark 14 gold and then tell me if its all pilot skills and buff reading.

Geko's post stated that going from Mk XII to Mk XIV would be a +60% Strength increase. They gave us a +110% Strength increase. Kind of...puts a downer on wanting to log in to the game. It's one thing to be out of touch with the players...but it's another to be so out of touch with the game itself. Have to wonder if they're not farming development out to some fourth world country and then just rubberstamping stuff.

I started playing sto in mid august 2011, about 2 months after s4 started. i built my first tac, "Master Yoda" in a Defiant in nov 2011. during this time, i did experiment with target subsystems, among other things. I dont see what the problem would be with using Target eng 3 against an escort though? it slows you down, and has a chance for offline proc. it helps against people who run away in 1v1s. I used MK 10s on this toon when everyone else had MK 11's.
Later, I made a duplicate toon, "Jedi Master Yoda" in February 2012, in a MVAE. Not long after, I encountered Mt's Pony, and had my first duel with him over cracked. MVAE vs JHAS. was a very difficult match. he won, i won, and he won again. I only was able to beat him with the beta mode, giving me comparable speed and turn to the JHAS.
This is around the time i also encountered @ilhansk, in his oddy. That was a fun day. made a great friend.
I got lucky when the JHAS doff pack promo came out. i got 2 JHAS, in my 3rd and 7th boxes.
From then on, i flew my JHAS.
I only recommend the JHAS to pilots who can actually handle the ship. There are so many people who get it because someone else did really good with it, and then cannot handle it. I always recommend to people aiming for the JHAS to start in a slower escort first, and work your way up to the JHAS.
I have had many people throw the "youre in an OP bug ship, any other ship and i could kill you" in my face. sadly for these people, it always ended in the same result as with the JHAS.
Typical "spacebar" heroes retort cause they can't do ground pvp. Yet so much of this games content is ground HMMM!
Come on man don't be stupid we all know since launch ground PVP was terrible 50 times more terrible in space PVP it's just now this space PVP has now become just as borked as ground PVP ever was seriously did you follow hit your head when games like Star Wars the old Republic has better ground PVP.... $h&t just got real... Hell there's even a few here that would say the space PVP is come so far along in that game that it now beats Star Trek it's a sad day hell even I don't long and is much as I used to I'm actually having fun playing Final Fantasy a realm reborn I can't believe how beautiful the game is,,, sorry I digress as I was saying ground PVP is terrible fourm PVP is much better
You guys have alot opinions about what's in balance and what's broken.
So can someone explain to me whats so broken on pvp ground combat?
I do a lot of ground missions pve/pvp(pvp before DR ), and at least on ground eng/sci/tac can kill each other equally efficient. Unlike space where one class rules them all !

It really is all in the pilot
