    The default weapons that come with your ship are the best for it, never replace them.

    Go up to any Klingon and say "Ferengies roS SoS "

    You will get a very warm welcome.

    Avoid increasing the skill levels of your bridge officers and promoting them. After all, you don't want to waste your hard earned expertise on a Commander who might get promoted to Captain and then leave your ship to take command of his own vessel, now would you? Not every First Officer is like Will Riker...

    Skittle boats are the best and shouting "Taste the Rainbow" makes them pew pew even more.

    This made me laugh.

    My advice? Everybody loves balloons! Fill all starbases with as many of them as you can. Also,feel free to tell a Klingon they have no honor. They love that/

    • To speed up diplomatic negotiations, put a conference table in the airlock.
    • A grand piano in the crew lounge is a great idea, especially when inertial dampers are offline.
    • Arm torpedoes in the tube, what's the worst that could happen?
    • Engineering Bridge Officers always know the best place to deploy Cover Shield.
    • Tactical Bridge Officers never throw grenades where you are standing.
    • Science Bridge Officers have good offensive abilities.
    • Use the fireworks emote while cloaked to signal to team-mates you're in position, ready to deploy your alpha strike.
    • Use the tailor to create characters from other famous IPs such as; the joker, homer simpson, the incredible hulk. No one has done that yet.
    • Use 1337 speak to try and bypass the profanity filter when naming your character/ship.
    • Yiffing in social zones is a perfectly acceptable activity.

    There is a ton of brilliant, intellectual conversations going on at all hours. In ESD zone chat.

    If you ever find yourself out of dilithium, ask people to trade it to you.


    Also, you can find brilliant bargains from people selling things in zone chat instead of using the exchange.

    Bing translator is the only Klingon language guide you'll ever need.

    (Unless you're looking for things like suffixes and pronouns.)



    Send a PM to a random player in zone chat and ask what brand of underpants they wear. If they say they don't wear any, ask them if they water ski naked.......on their butt.

    Especially if it's me. I can talk about Ssharki's taste for silk undershorts and his enjoyment of unusual water sports all day.

    Don't remodulate your weapons when you're in a ground STF. Other players will appreciate you and consider you a god amongst men.

    Also, always as "Where's Captain Sulu?" when you're at ESD every time you come through.

    Speaking of Ground STFs -

    Speed and efficiency is the only thing that matters, and the best strategy is always to just charge through blasting everything that moves.

    If it doesn't move, blast it anyway. It will probably move later, otherwise.

    If anyone on your team starts talking about something like "trigger lines" the correct response is "LOL WUT."

    Instead of finding a corner of a social zone and deploying your festive items like Disco Balls so that anyone who wants to participate can come to you, find the largest group of people you can - especially if they're in the exchange/bank/mail area and are probably focused on something they're doing - and go wild!

    People will love you for it and insist that you do it again.

    Replacing worn tires, and brakes, in a snowbelt area before winter, is a waste of money.

    Driver coil is without a shadow of a doubt the most powerful PvP skill in the game. Make sure you have it trained up 9 points before you think to queue. Once you have it, watch how awesomesauce all of your attacks are.

    When joining ANY PvP , Or PvE, and you have cloak capability,

    CLOAK AND GO AFK!

    Always works, you get the reward AND everyone loves you!

    And yes , that was sarcasm.
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    Telling someone that, because the Trek novels are non-canon and STO is non-canon, they must exist in the same continuity, even if they have mutually exclusive storylines, is a great way to get people to like you.

    Proper fleet etiquette dictates that you never contribute anything that will cost you dilithium, energy credits, doffs or fleet credits. This is the fleet leaders job. If you contribute, the leaders will be offended and see this as an attempt on your part to take over the fleet.

    Also, when joining a fleet, don't forget to take all the items out of the fleet bank and use all the provisions. Those are all welcoming gifts for you, and the fleet will be insulted if you don't take them.

    Arguments for adding the Yeager and K'Vort to the game will always be well accepted.

    (seriously, though, it won't stop me from wanting my Yeager, if it it's just a 2409-updated look as a new skin for the Avenger in six or eight months...)
