Its not a spam torp, it has to be used strategically to get the big hit.
If it hits a shield, you will only get impact damage, but if it hits hull then the sentient part of the torpedo will detonate the tricobalt and you will get the biggest explosion in the game. The antiproton is for the AI to try and lower the target's shield. If you get the shield down through other means, the torp wil fly to it and detonate without waiting. If you just throw it at a target that sitll has shields, it will shoot the shields before eventually ramming, maybe with shields up maybe with shields down.
True.
I purchased the Mogh Battle Cruiser for my Ferasan. When he gets to level 50 I'm getting a fleet version and I might put the warhead in the 5th fore weapon slot. Why? Because I'm Batman!
I'm disappointed that there are not more Romulan give aways, but in an indirect way, as it reflects the lack of Romulan C-store options, to give away in the first place.
Hopefully for the 5th anniversary there will be more Romulan themed give aways, due the tremendous amount of new Romulan C-store items we will see in 2014, right Cryptic, right?
You can use both ships on Romulans. I will use the consul from the Fed ship on my Romulan. That is why your are allied with either KDF or Fed.

My only complaint is there used to be a web store where you could claim account wide unlocks regardless of a character's level. I have other accounts with low level toons that can't claim these ships. Not sure I have time to level them up. Oh well, thanks anyway Cryptic.
Yup. There is no way to reach level 20 in 24 hours. Not with a klingon toon anyways. But we will try.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Cryptic for the free escort. I have wanted the Saber for over a year, but never bought it because it was only for one character who is an alt on my main account. I liked the design as it reminded me of the Progen ships from Earth and Beyond. And that character Mafia Don is based on a character I made for that game when it was live.
Now I can finally put the finally piece into place for that alt.
Thanks for the freebies. Just wish I could of claimed the KDF ship but it won't let you even claim the ship unless you are level 20. I even made a KDF for it just to claim it for usage when I get a few extra character slots available by deleting one of my feds. Oh, well thanks anyway for the fed one that my lvl 10 rom was able to claim.
Yea, not being able to actually claim the ships sucked. I even popped my xp boost and rushed to 18 as the server went down trying to be able to get it.
If only they held off for an half hour I could of got the ship, I really wanted it.
I was desperately trying to level my Klingon alt I was at 15 lieutenant commander this morning but had to work , when I got home I managed to level to 19 lieutenant commander.
I was halfway through the next mission but then the server maintenance came down , so I missed out , my federation alt got the saber ,the bridges, and the acid horta but it only had to be level 10 to get it , and you originally said we had till 10 am pst to get it .
Thank you for the gifts that I did get , but I really wanted that refit ship , is there any thing that can be done , at all?
Yeah, i just left my klingon on level 13. Coudnt get any furhter. Klingon episodes are stupidly long, you need textra time to do almost everything, and you need to travel to go anywhere lol, you cant just teleport to the surface of Q'onos or the shipyard, thats really stupid. with no sense at all. I imagined something like that, for some comments i heard, but im not going to create another klingon toon anytime soon xD. What a horrible experience lol. So back to my 2 feds. I was complaining about fed time ago, but now, i love em, in comparison with the klingon road to level 50.
With my fed toon, i leveled to 20 in just less than 1 day. With a klingon toon, its impossible lol. Well, after maintenance time to delete my just created klingon char and continue with my feds.
Are you sure guys we dont have time after the maintenance to keep trying to claim the klingon escort?? because the give away time is not finished yet. It should keep going on until this afternnon (in PST time). If that is not the case, cryptic just lied to us lol.
But what i dont understand is, y the hell we cant just claim the ship and having it there until we can use it??? sometimes, cryptic,makes the things with no sense at all (well its a topic in STO, anyways).
And btw, as always cryptic discriminated people living in the easter zone. As all you should know, i needed to sleep for 10 hours while you all guys of the western zone were playing, just before the maintenance, only to have about 1,5 -2 hours before they started the maintenance. So, in the end, i didnt have time, on the opposite with my western colleages. So the western guys had all the time in the world, we didnt. But well, this is the way cryptic does things, unfortunately.
So did I miss the day three giveaway? It says that the items would be available until 10 am Pacific, so I waited completely forgetting about server maintenance. :P Did I miss it or am I forgetting something?
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
Er, yes we do. The anniversary is a ship (3 ships to be more precise - KDF, FED and ROM) which can be earned over the 25 days of the anniversary event.
This give-away is just prior to the (hence PRE) anniversary.
Do we really know what other things they have planned for the 25 days of the grind. We don't. And certainly I know with PRE means, that was not the point other than that is what they had offered before the Anniversary. Who knows, they may have Lobi Store sales, extra bonus ZEN in their packages, etc. We don't know for sure. They have the C-Store Ship Packs to officially announce with specifics.
If there is nothing more (apologies to V'Ger) I am sure that they will say so.

The Gladius/Qorgh giveaway will likely be over by the time the server is back up. Today's giveaway has not yet been announced.
Thats the thing. There is no more giveaway days, yesterday was the last one.
But it was not 24 hours, so cryptic just lied to us, a lot of people thought they will keep their promise of 24 hours in the last day, so you can keep trying to claim the gift after the maintenance, but it appears that they just cut in half the time we had to gather the giveaway gift. So in the end, there was not "DAY 3" , actually.
Brandon, this excuse is thinner - dimensionally speaking - than the average distance between a Frenchman and anything that a Frenchman might care to sample carnal knowledge of.
That is to say, it's pretty ****ing thin.
The POINT of playing Romulans is that we don't WANT to be flying Fed or KDF ships. We want that sweet warbird action.
There ARE Romulan ships in the C-Store that could have been offered as part of this - why not the Dhael?
You are a self entitled idiot. Claim them and use the consoles. There arent as many Rom ships to use as giveaways, so chill out. Its free stuff, they don't even have to give it away and people whine about it.
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO IT. ITS A GIFT. Only douchebags whine about gifts they receive.

Didn't see this on page one did ya
Reminder! Tomorrow is patch/ maintenance day, so it would be best to claim your items well before maintenance starts (around 6AM PST) tomorrow so you don't miss out!
So as it is well past 6. Those who have yet to claim have missed it.

Yes. I did, and what you didnt understand from my post is, those hours the game is pathing should not be taking in count for the anniversary event. You can continue with the giveaway event after the maintenance, but cryptic just decided to avoid it, and to keep it out of problems. They say "it would be best to claim your items", they dont say you CANT claim em after the maintenance , because they clearly stated that once the maintenance is over, the giveaway event is over too. U got it now??

+1 to this. I have played several other MMO games. This is the ONLY one that constantly gives away free premium items. Also it is the only MMO i have played where the players can EARN premium currency either from the Dil exchange or from peanut labs.
The problem is like this game, Whinging is also free and people like to winge by nature. If i was to post what i really thought of these ungrateful Bar Stewards, im sure it would be deleted.
for myself im grateful for the freebies i get off STO.
Regards to the current Whine about having to 'grind' for the upcoming ships, i wonder how many of these whiners 'Grind' for reputation. My guess: 99% of them

Couldn't agree more, I am actually very happy that I had none of these items, plus i got a free reclaimable Sabre Class! I will be taking that into STFs for sure even if it is a lower level ship.
Unfortunately I already have the ships....so I don't get an unlock.
But the good thing is other players can get access to both of these.
The consoles are very effective and useful.
The only drawback still will always be at least for now....is that once you get to a higher rank....these ships will no longer be used.
Their skins are really interesting and very diverse....but since there is no way to upgrade the configuration or get higher hull or shield strength....they end up being a throw away.
If anyone from cryptic reads this, PLEASE!! change the system so players can at least update their old ships or at least be able to use the skins.
I really think this would be an excellent feature that would prolong game play and make this game a lot more fun.
I hope other players also chime in on this....and maybe say the same things.
There are just way too many ship hulls that are super neat...but since the ships themselves cant survive in the higher level areas very well....I had to stop using them.
Even though....realistically....if this where closer to real life....we captains would take our favorite ships and improve them. Riker did this in The next generation show and movies showed this with the enterprise refits kirk used.

I claimed them yesterday. At the time, I was thinking "Hey, why are you doing this when you could be fighting the Borg? You can get it tomorrow!"
Turns out, the little voice was wrong, I'm glad I didn't drop it and go fight the Borg now, I'd have missed it too.
Thank you! I'll remember for next time.
