You had cruisers basicly doing nothing, noone knew what they where supposed to be doing anyhow, someone figured out they could sort of hullheal but aux2sif the original version was so TRIBBLE it only worked decently on klingon carrier the vo'que, powerlevels where basicly 110+ 25 +50+25 and aux power also made you able to turn your ship... tactical team added like +32 weapon damage + torpedo damage and some other useless TRIBBLE and it removed the tactical debuffs (like it does today), People had no idea what the meta was because frankly no one had the setup yet, there was the old TRIBBLE or whatever they where called forgot now, they used multiple heal cruisers when patch 1.1 hit. Science ships back then was so TRIBBLE its not even funny, it used to be like 1volley stuff because shield tanking just didn't work (well it did but noone figured it out until someone used 2x science team 3 witch instead made the guys immune to damage, whoever it was that got that cycled on him. If you take a close look you see I use that useless energy siphon cus why not it kinda did a cool effect, but after figuring out what the effect actually did I quite fondly remembered it being put into a long pile of skills that where considered to TRIBBLE to use. There where lots of those btw, the first iteration of transfear shield strenght was a small yellow beam that healed like 120hp X4 for all shield phasings once. I remember I complained alot when snix made changes to skills for the upcoming patch the 1.1 patch it made escorts alot less fun, but really when you see multiple crits of 7-9k crits from cannons and hy3 torps that did 16k it kinda made sense. Another funfact is that snb didn't do anything at all like it did today, but instead was like a free kill on someone you used it on in capture and hold. In general teamplay back then was even more abysmal then it was last time I played.
I am wondering what has happened to the members of Lag Industries. Anyone know?

Sorry to resurrect my old thread, but curious if Season 11 (or whatever it's called) made any difference? I braved the 12GB(!!!) d/l the other day just to login to see if my stuff was still there. I was pleased to see HoBO hadn't kicked me yet and that my precious R'Mor was intact with all her PartGen-dealing goodness. What a beast she was back in the pre-DR days...me and Neepa cooking the world from the inside out!
Anyway, I'll be poking around the new PvE content over the coming weeks and trying to find a way to enjoy the game again. If you see me online and want a quick "old school" (i.e. no Intel TRIBBLE) match, ping me.
