Truth here.
How you fly your ship is more important than the actual gear that's on it for the most part. Even the most horribly kitted ships can still do eSTFs with little effort if abilities and chaining is done correctly.
Yeah, bad idea.
And go to the Elite STF channels, if you want a better quality player, for an ESTF. Pugging Elites straight up, has essentially never been a good idea, anyway.
What we should have, is more tips on loading screens!
"Use special ship equipment unlocked through the reputation system to give you a survival edge in STF's!"
"Using all one type of energy weapon helps conserve power, Dealing more damage over time"
I can't think of any more, but things along those lines
The only good thing I can say about it is that every WoW expansion while I played, a last-tier raider could get a high enough gearscore to break the mod, then he could make the fools rage in dungeons about his abnormally low gearscore, and solo the first pull without a tank to show off while they tried to vote him out.
The difference between white and purple gear is about 15% - about the difference between blue and purple in WoW. The difference between a rainbow ship and a "proper" build is even less - about 3% per console after skill points come into play.
A team of escorts in full purples with good builds should be doing around 200-400% MORE damage than is needed to hit the DPS checks. Gear accounts for approximately nothing in a margin like that.
however how about blocking anyone who has full maco from ground stfs
Yep, I too support your dumb idea.
Fanfiction! ZOMG! Read it now!

Couldn't have summed it up better myself.
But if the OP feels this strongly about it, then feel free to send some purple mk xii consoles my way so I am uh...better prepared for ESTF's in the future

Is that full maco space or full maco ground?
Look, I've spent hundreds of millions of EC on gear, for my own amusement. That doesn't make me or anyone else a good player. I certainly wouldn't want something like Gearscore in STO.
Does NO work?
Item level is really just a measure of luck and number of nights you spend playing a game while you should be sleeping. Skill level is completely unrelated.

Space maco does not make you behave like bruce willis
but space maco could make you behave like Han Solo.
Oh and is that Bruce Willis in GI Joe 2 or Bruce Willis in Expendables 2?
I'd be interested in a version of it that uses Cryptic Math to calculate the score itself.
Just imagine it. Biofunction monitors would give you a bigger score than the field emitter! Stuff like that!
so anyone with less than 3 c store consoles and no c store ship can't join ANY stf
also on ground no one can join unless they are in a fleet that does not have "maco" "elite" or "special" in the name
are carrying a melee weapon
were born on a tuesday
and are called simon
The problem is bad players, not bad gear. A good player can go into an elite STF with a freshly-minted Vice Admiral and still play well. And conversely, just because a player has full XII gear in every slot doesn't mean they know how to play. It just means they've facedesked their way through enough to get whatever they wanted.
Yeah.... no. Why penalize someone for having good gear? I hope you're trying to troll or something, because that's just a horrible idea.
As an aside, when did making a joke become trolling?
one of them spent the entire time shouting "yippee kai ay (deleted) " and kirk rolling
and the other one lay on the ground shouting Help in german for half the mission
had it not been for an Andorian tactical and a Rather helpful (and definately insane) federation klingon speced for melee we would probably still be at it
When Sollvax made it, because... Edit: oh hey, look, he posted. See? Those two German guys are everybody in the entire game with that set, and if history is any indication we will now have a twelve page discussion with Sollvax about why that is true.
I think the other one was American and possible slightly plastered
What's German for Remodulate?
It would be something like that... Neverwinter has gearscore implemented, and it also varies your gearscore depending on some temporary buffs. This doesn't always work.
No Idea
but as he did not talk other than to shout for help Im not sure he had team chat on anyway
As I say the Andorian and the Klingon carried the fight and I kept them both alive (Sci speced for healing)
I would not want to mess with either of them in ground pvp
I had a look (control wizard to level 16)
its getting more and more repetative and less and less occupied
the low level areas are packed
seems once you hit about 12 and move to where the orcs are (tower district) theres hardly anyone there
now maybe they all moved on and the newer guys are not there yet
but well STO is always going to be the better game
