What would you nerf?

edited February 2017 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I'm curious as to what people think is the most OP and needs fixing the most.



Edit: since the news of the upcoming changes just came out, I felt a need to point out something - as this thread may suddenly give off a whole different impression than what I originally intended.

I had no idea that this was coming, and if I had, I wouldn't have created this thread as it is not my intention to be mean or anything. I don't enjoy nerfs/corrections, but sometimes corrections are necessary to keep the game enjoyable for everyone.

Thanks for the interesting discussion so far, carry on :)

    For me it would be the TR rifle, and the Boolean Assault gun.

    After that, I would tone down the buffs of tactical officers. At least remove stacking of all the bonuses a bit.

    Tac Captain survivability. Dev favoritism to that class is beyond out of control.

    Sources of stuff that has complete shield penetration (temporal powers, embassy consoles, etc) It'd be change, more than nerf, maybe reducing instances of 100% to 50% or 80%. In an ideal world...

    This. Nothing else.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Not necessarily.

    Some things are just overperforming. Fixes are needed sometimes, just like bug fixes are necessary even when players benefit from them.

    Nerf the bugs in the game with an extended testing and debugging session followed by a patch for said updates.

    FAW, with a nuke, from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    Tac console stacking, or rather add in the same diminishing returns all the sci and eng consoles get.

    Shield and armor penetration. But mostly shield penetration. Shields are useless now and in Star Trek they were the primary defense, or so I was led to believe.

    People seem to use the term differently on these forums. The correct definition from its economic roots (absolute gain per investment needs to be diminishing), which, apart from some caps, consoles don't have. And the way that five +10% consoles do stack up to +50% instead of +61%, thus making the last console +7% (of previous value) only. Which may be an issue, but shouldn't be called diminishing returns.

    Does the concept of "OP" come from PvPing?

    Because if someone is playing the game by themselves then why can't they have potent weapons/power?

    And any answer that invloves "because in PvE people who are OP kill the bad guys faster and don't give other players a chance" seems silly and doesnt quite fly with me.

    I don't know where the concept comes from, I do know that what's OP in PvP differs from what's OP in PvE many times in this game. Both are imbalanced, the difference is NPC's can't complain about it. :D
