Thanks for that.
Thanks for the heads up. That would have been disastrous.
Wooow - good advice. I would really hate to see such a reversal of physics ... or to be booted to the login screen.
EDIT: Looking forward to testing out some of these new UI elements.
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
In addition to the items in the reward boxes, why not give bonus Nukara marks?
Er....sorry? Could you clarify that?
ya, im not sure what they were trying to say here
All of the benefits from spending skills in those powers have been updated for Warbirds.
Thus, on some of the higher-tier ships, the stats may be lower for spending the same number of skill points.
Sounds more like they nerfed something else
So i guess the BC nerf is here to stay so much for being a rom on the holodeck
Very depressing
Good question im running a new rom toon that there are no BOFF slots on my ship so there is no way to station my BOFFs.
When is this going to get fixed?
I am guessing this is a squirrelly bug. Since literally one of my Romulan Character has there Boffs unseated every map transfer and the other does not have this problem, it may be hard for the team to nail it down.
That said, I am sure they are working on it, but I wouldn't expect anything for a few days. Just my thoughts though.
Er, to clarify the clarification, it's sounding to me like points spent into the skills Structural Integrity, Starship Shield Systems, and Impulse Thrusters were producing slightly more results when the captain was in a Warbird as opposed to a warp core ship, requiring them to be brought down to balance the two, is that correct?
It's not about account age, it's about how much time you have spent on Tribble in the past. If you're not on Tribble very often, they're not going to let you in until Open Beta access.
Ok that makes slightly more sense - explanationwise
I know the feeling. I was active on STO since it's Beta days over 3 years ago, and I never got a Beta invite. I also bought the Legacy pack for the new Romulan stuff. Also have lifetime subscription. What's the magic key I missed???
Not cool.
To force players to grind for a handful of Tholian marks for hours on multiple characters, but to remove anything good from a chance drop that's no better than trash?
This will not encourage players to do Tholian Marks.
As I said to the other person who asked:
It's not about account age, it's about how much time you have spent on Tribble in the past. If you're not on Tribble very often, they're not going to let you in until Open Beta access.
so.... particle gens helps plasma shockwave a bit less then for example? is that what you mean?
I'm feeling a bit more rage-tastic over this. To the point I'm tempted to go start up a "Boycott the Nukara Reputation" thread. I'm not of course, but I have no intention of touching it until they either replace the Tholian Boxes with Fleet Marks (preferably of the amounts currently obtained on Holodeck) or drastically increase the number of Nukara Marks given.
Im not impressed the space set at all grades is underwhelming
The ground set is ok but nothing to write home about
altogether i wont be grinding for tholian marks
I would rather grind for rom marks
