I haven't read the entire thread. Will turrets, shield generators, med generators and drones be able to stay longer? (It's just annoying to re build them again and again.)
I'm not talking about giving them more Hitpoints, but if they just stand there doing nothing, they vanish after 60 seconds or so. Would it be possible to make them stay longer maybe 4 or 5 minutes?

Well it sort of evolved into a ground combat Q&A thread. But i digress. As far as all the powers go, just about everything is getting buffed. And by buffed I mean powers are working again lol.
As I'm going through touching up the art, CaptainGeko is doing the same for the powers. Half of them were just flat broken like orbital tickle. It never scaled with your level, among other things, resulting in kitten level damage.
Some powers had crazy rules that hampered their effectiveness. Medical generator for example healed you based on how close you were to it, now its just a flat healing aura. If your in the AoE your getting healed. Some debuffs had no FX to tell you that something happened. Up until now we have only dealt with powers individually but the ground update has forced us to do a level 1 diagnostic and we're finding and fixing all kinds of broken.
Oh and special treat for engineers your pets no longer beam in but are replicated I've been wanting to get that in since launch.
This being the case, can I ask about Sonic Pulse? Two of my BOffs have it, and I swear I never see them actually use it.

As an engineer, you have made me very very VERY happy!!!!!!!!
...Although, come to think about it, the wait for Season 4 is now going to be agonizing! Oh well! :rolleyes:
I'm not sure if that was already ask, didnt read all pages. (and may be its A LITTLE of Topic)
The two changes I want most about ground:
1.Will there EVER be ways to costumize the Weapons visuals? Nothing big, just the chance to chose between the available Rifle models for your rifle or between all pistol models for your Pistol ect?
2. Holster. Will we be able to SEE the holstered weapons? Or just Probs for Pistol in the Holsters and may be Tricorders, like in CO?
I mean we have dozents of uniforms to costumize, some, like me, spend hours to get every deatil of every bo right, but the lack of those things always bug me and prevent away missions from getting the right atmosphere.

Both excellent suggestions, and I would like to add in the request to customize our armor and kit visuals as well (if nothing else to be able to recolor the armor). New armor/kit models would be really nice as well.
Now for a question! Will Klingons ever get armor/kit visuals?

This all sounds wonderful, I really can't wait for S4!!!
So pets are "replicated"?? -- I wonder how that differs... :rolleyes:

Look at the model DCUO uses, where once you get a weapon it's added to your "costume" collection, and from then on you can make any weapon look like that. So you still have loot drops adding to your looks, but complete control over your looks.

They don't even need to look that far away - CO did it first.

And CoH before that, both Cryptic games.
Given that it can be done in CO, and they share a common codebase, I don't imagine it would be that difficult to implement (at least not compared to doing it from scratch).
Seriously though, does anyone know if the primary fire of special weapon types, such as the shotgun will actually have the effect. If the primary fire on the shotgun is not AoE type, then it is not a shotgun, and if a snipers fire is not scope range then its not really much of a sniper, does anyone know if this is the case?

CoH had costume unlocks from various sources, and weapon selection, but not the particular 'absorb equippable item into costume selections' concept, at least not that I recall from playing recently.

I would like that too. Is like to have my rifle and pistol look more tng-ish like the standard issue ones without actually having to use the standard issue ones as a vice admiral or captain or fleet admiral or whatever

I'd prefer to deactivate the Armor/Kitt visuals all over and get more Gear-options on the Tailor.
Another funny Idea I read is to replace the "kit" by a "Tricorder", primary that would just be a change by Name but it kind of ties in better with the ST-Canon I believe, since a Troicorder on most away mission was an eqipment part and "Kits"... well... were not.

I like that idea and support it.
If we could get that gear stuff via the Tailor, our BO's should be able to wear them too.
Indeed. I would love to equip myself and my BOs with various arrangements of Science kits (no matter if I am on a Science character or not), along with some recoloring. Absolutely love the holographic armor look.

Well its not really a shotgun, we just call it that internally because it gets the idea across of what kind of weapon it is. The primary fire is the plusewave cylinder attack and the secondary is the arcwave cone attack.
Also the Sniper rifle has the longest range in the game, but doesn't require you to be "scoped".

So the kitten level damage is being buffed to KITTEH LEVEL DAMAGE?
"I've got one in my transporter buffer...."
Still a replicator effect will be rather cool.

Thanks for the response.

Ideally, the frame would affect factors like the STYLE of play. Expose/exploit. Range. Cooldowns.
Meanwhile, the stats, damage type, and specific abilities would be impacted by the phaser battery, which you could use in any weapon.

Sounds like the basis for some new STO Crafting! yeah gimme please!
Though I wouldn't go for the battery s the part that necessirly defines the power of the weapon more the prefire chamber or some other component.
I would lvoe to see a crafting system where you choose:
The same for Kits I would ove to be ble to customize kits.

Hoped that answered your question.
