I was reading the dev blog.
While browsing through the space abilities I was like "well, they don't look so badly broken".
Then I read
I did 2+2. If we sum neutronic, violent detonation (commando tree shield bypassing exploit) and that.
Neutronic one shots already. Now you'll be dead before that TRIBBLE gets out the launcher.
In the graph we can see how "Balance" and "Cryptic" are not even tangents between each other.

Concentrate Firepower
Mark a targeted foe, to coordinate your allies weapon fire. All torpedo attacks made against the marked foe deal additional Kinetic damage that bypasses shields. Striking the marked target also has a chance of granting a free High Yield Torpedo I mode to the attacking ally.

it's just neutronics...
why would you even attempt to deal energy weapons damage if you didn't have intel skill access? or even try to use torps unless you had command skill access? your tier5U scow cant touch the potential these tier 6 have.
how many weeks will it take for you to even unlock the command skills, on the ships you had to pay $30 for each, just so you could use them?
exactly how many patrols will it take to get from 60, to a completed specialization grind now? it was already over 1000 gerran runs.
who is the dark lord that now guides cryptic in a literally evil way of doing things? to turn the STO dev team into the living breathing satire of worst case scenario F2P model? who are these devs and what did they do to the people that made an actually enjoyable game for a solid 4 years?
It should be clear to everyone know what there plan is.
People where not buying ships fast enough... the fleet ships didn't keep selling after people got one they liked. People haven't been buying the zen store re re re rerelease versions of everything.
So the new plan is simple.
Release a New Spec tree every 4-6 months. Release a new Spec bridge seat to go with that is obviously going to have options that clearly replace anything you where flying previously.
This way they keep you grinding until the next ship... and forced to buy a new ship every time they start a new cycle.
At the pace of leveling... right about the time you complete one spec tree grind and have your shiny ship all set up with Bridge officers with that spec. Its now time for cryptic to restart the cycle.
I hope most people wise up and get off there silly grind. Its the most blatant cash grab scheme I have ever seen in an online game. Even the average Korean style grinder isn't so bold. lol
and they totally could have pulled it off, if they didn't change so many global modifiers and stick a 1000 patrol grind in the way of just playing the game.
we are witnessing an act of sabotage, no one sane would have signed off on this grind they have perpetrated on us. we have been tolerating a steady level of grind for 4 years, in year 5, so one with any self respect would put up with the grind being squared, the pay wall squared, and the P2W and imbalance cubed.
No doubt. I could totally live with being forced to pick up a new ship a few times a year if I wanted to use the latest thing. (with fleet models later that added a more limited version of the same stuffs to all the ship. Like T6 Store ships having a cmd seat of the spec of the week, and the {Insert Spec} Version fleets 3 months later having a lt cmd but being open to all our old favorites.)
If they had done that in a way where I could play for a few hours in the evening and earn 3-5 spec points... it wouldn't be just plain annoying. Playing for 5 hours a night and not quite getting that one spec point done is stupid.
Yep its sad that all the super grind has done is wake people up.
A sane grind with the same mechanics and we would all be talking about how it would be "shaking" up pvp for a bit then going back to normal. Cryptic plain Fd this thing up. Even if they dial the grind back now 500% the dmg is done. lol

Build questions? Look here!
I don't know, I went hunting for my old bug report to write a new bug report with the concern about the HY1 and it was closed with RESOLVED in the title. So I slotted HY1/TS1 to do some testing...previously it didn't matter if you HY/TS or TS/HY it would be HY/TS...but when I did TS/HY it actually did TS/HY. Could be fun then with the TS Neuts and HY E-Bio or TS Grav and HY E-Bio. Heh, even the Disrupting Photons and a HY E-Bio.
Its funny.. today I saw the Dev blog and was curious by it.. At first I was like.. "Ok cool sounding powers.. What's the catch?"
You need a NEW ship of course!
And my desire to log into STO died as soon as I saw that part. Fool me once Cryptic shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.. :rolleyes:

of course not. we would like to, thats why we still patrol the forums, giveing feedback in no uncertain terms that whats acceptable is multiple football field lengths away from what exists.
