    NOOOO are they Fing kidding.

    What do they want people completing STFs in under 30s.....

    Never mind that doffs in pvp are only balanced somewhat at all by not being able to run everything evil option.

    Hmm, Can I put another battery doff on my ship with this, cause 30% damage boost on a wep bat usage is just what the alpha ordered.

    but yea, thats gonna make a mess of pvp balance, two sets of binomial doffs out in force for each ship possibly.:(

    i think you can only slot one batt doff, however, this next season is going to be insane...and not necessarily in a good way.

    Wasn't there a "Balance by Saturation" thread a while back? I guess Cryptic doesn't believe in saturation. Or balance.

    a 6th active doff active roster slot? :eek:

    more powerful then all the tier 4 rep passives combined? maybe. certainly the biggest news for our kind in season 8.

    Yes! I no longer have to choose between Marion and Kel'eel! :)

    My proposed lineup:

    3x Purple Techs for Aux2Batt
    1x Purple Fab Tech for RSP (20.1 secs uptime)
    1x Marion for DEM3 punch
    1x Kel'eel to clear all the cheese

    I'll finally be OP! Lol! :)

    3 DCE's
    2 TT cooldown conn officers
    1 Gravimetric Doff/VM doff or other science ability-specific doff

    You see, it's not nearly as OP as people think, 6 active space doffs. If you're in a science vessel.

    I expect to see a lot of builds like Rcks.

    Also twam I think it should allow for a decent science ship now....

    Cryptic is the one company out there that doesn't fear power creep ... but actually embraces it. <Facepalm>

    Anyone played Disgaea, when even your ITEMS have levels? That's what STO is moving towards. ^^;

    It's funny, in a sense - how often 5 seemed like the right number, sitting there thinking - damn, if only I had one more slot...evil teehee...oh the fun that could be had. So yeah, tada...the 6th. There are folks out there thanking Cryptic for it, saying it's what they needed. Just reinforces my belief that some folks can't even manage to put flipflops on out there that play...

    Remember though, only people with access to Fleets will even have the option of getting the 6th doff slot; those with fleets will have to grind their way up to the appropriate level to unlock them (and then probably pay a whole lot more for the slot itself).

    Renim needs no 6th doff slot! Renim with show you all the true power of having only 5 doffs! Fleetless FOREVEEEEEEEER!

    *grumbles about all the fleet goodies*

    Wait this is tied to a fleet holding. OMG

    Yes PvP is dead in that case.... So for a new player coming in not only do they have to grind months of personal rep.

    They also now have to kiss the backside of some preexisting players to gain access to a fleet.

    All well we don't need any fish.

    If these are in a fleet store like the assignment slots, you'll only need a map invite from a fleet that has them (and fleet credits to buy with).

    Cryptic has basically committed to the 6 month cycle of adding new gated boosts. Which is fine for PvE, honestly - it is - does it really matter there? Maybe if there was harder content that required it? But you'd still have the lesser content to do - you'd have your typical carrot on a stick PvE progression...

    ...for PvP though:

    A new toon vs. a month old S7 toon?
    A new toon vs. a month old LoR toon, that's also done S7?
    A new toon vs. a month old S8 toon, that's also done LoR and S7?

    Etc, etc, etc...

    Heck, just keeping up with alts on that...not even new toons - forget new alts, forget new players...but oh well...there's dinosaurs with frickin' laser beams on their heads!

    Oddly enough there are fleets out there that couldn't give a monkeys what you do so long as you don't go around being an as****e.

    Not all fleets are run by d**ks but any decent fleet will require some contribution before you use all their resources.

    On topic though. I don't think it's going to be the earth shattering death to PvP drama people go on about. Sure it's blatant powercreep and won't be too balanced but considering the number of doffs we have and will have, getting an extra slot isn't a bad thing. Besides the world will keep turning, people will keep playing, some will adapt, some will leave, such is the life of all mmo's.
