I think we need one. Post your random PvP thought of the day, be it a word, a sentence or several paragraphs, be it an observation, a question, a remark, a witty comment, a complaint, an inspiration.
My random thought was this:
The Rythm of PvP is determined by cooldowns and durations.
15 seconds System Cooldown.
30 seconds EPTS, duration, 30 seconds global, 60 second cooldown, 30 seconds to next EPtS
10 Seconds Cannon Rapid Fire III, 30 seconds global, 60 seconds cooldows, 30 seconds to Cannon Scatter Volley I
Beam Overload 1 shot in the next 30 second, 30 second global, 60 second cooldown
Transfer Shield Strength 15 secnd duration, 45 second cooldown, 30 second global
Tactical Team, 10 second duration ,30 second global
Enemy RSP running out in 10 seconds
Next Allied Subnuke in 20 seconds
Tactical Initiative ready in the next 30 seconds

And will someone for the love of ..., please tell me why I am an ensign!!!!
Or are you meaning something a little less, humorous? (though I was serious when I told someone this)
Is anyone that uses Tractor Beam spam going to hell, or just Federation players?
Why is inertia reversed in this game anyway?
did you know you can only hit 3 buttons at a time in this game? or something like that....
my weapons and powers had been misfiring a ton. now they don't.
i should prolly get around to keybinds and the such.
but yes. cooldowns. ummmmm...yeah.
now i dont miss them as often! yay efficiency!
have fun kill bad guys

That is actually a limitation of a non gaming keyboard called ghosting. This game does suffer from lost commands but the input number seems to be well over 7 abilities "simultaneously".
well then im not timing them right mav.
some have a .5 sec activate, some 1 sec activate.
im just here to kill things, you know?
qft

- Global Cooldown
- System Cooldown
- Power Cooldown (Actually this may be called Recharge)
#More confusing are hull resistance and shield resistance (or rather: shield damage reduction), and the way they stack internally (each differently) and on each other (not at all or only indirectly).
Also at work so will be pvping against customers!

Feel free to ask me about PVP or starship strategies. "No, I am not Borg!"
/channel_join OrganizedPVP If you are interested in learning PVP, looking for a team, or a private match
Or the Drama that the PVPers make for themselves and share on the forums.
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
Which really needs to stop NOW.

take over what exactly? General brainstorming about things that one could do? If Devs need at least 6 month to get the ropes and become a productive member of the team....well S7 is about story, S9 seems like a realistic time for thinking about pvp again.

I guess a system cool down must be where if you activate one power in a system all powers in that system go on a cool down for at least the duration of the activated powers effect.
I dunno imma start drinking again. any suggestions?
Or torpedoes have a 1 second global cooldown, which means that no matter how many launchers you have, you won't be fireing more then 1 launcher per second.
Smoke mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Look an escort that survives like a cruiser.........
Why'd I just put Extend shields 2 on that Tricobalt torpedo?
OmK, it survived the Bfaw field and killed the escort!!!
Celebratory beer mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
celebratory smoke mmmmmmmmmmmm
R.I.P
Will it take another 2 Years before that not only happens again, but we actually get the PVP that we sorely need? One that is fun for everyone. One that provides Rewards that we can all enjoy and use. And one that is balanced beyond what we have currently. And one that we can stop complaining about and start praising...

Yawn... we have a challenge system use it all you want.
3v3 perhaps.... still not needed. But at least that could be interesting... honestly though 3v3 would really really make pug vs premade an issue... one junk teammate and its pretty much over. At least in a 5v5 if it ends up being 5v3 it can still be a good match... a friend and I beat up some feds the other night 2v5 that was fun.
1v1 outside of shuttle vs shuttle or escort vs escort ... its like watching paint dry.
We don't need a 1v1 Queue, there are already easy ways to 1v1 in game, how many mmos have you played with 1v1 queues in them anyway?
There is a reason they are not integrated often if at all, PVP combat in classed based mmos
is not balanced via 1v1!
WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

ive found that im incapable of focusing more on the team mates that need heals then i am on killing this guy im shooting at, guess thats why i resign myself to playing what im flying as tactically as possible, and why i haven't touched my engineers in months. i still through about 5 times the number of heals then the majority of pub mates though.
i sort oh hate that killing and healing are of equal importance in this game, this is the 1 mmo that doesn't have magic in it that can explain everything, star ships healing as effectively as they can damage is absurd, and an affront to the ip.
nothing around here seems more sacred then the team. glory to the team, which is what mmo game play is about, and those who are loners are playing wrong.
nah, i like loose teams fine, i just don't like that healing is as as good, more powerful, and more impotent in a match, then killing the enemy. it makes a talented team invincible, you cant even TRIBBLE their armor unless you bring an equally good team.
teems shouldn't be able to give hit points faster then the enemy can take them away, instead of giving hitpoints they should only give resistance, it should be up to the player to repair his own ship.
For example, the knowledge that you should run high weapon power, because it gives you the most bang for your buck (literally).
So we shouldn't just teach distribute shields, EptS and tactical team. We must even teach weapon power is important if you want to damage. This may not be aimed so much at PvPers, but more at PvErs, but never the less.
Startrek Online's PvE is way too easy if you know what you are doing. But if you don't know, you can be totally screwed in some situations, like when you try to deal with an enemy that can heal himself.
