So if I'm reading this right...
"This DoT is based off the damage that reaches the target's hull from the initial impact."
...vs. a target with Res Shields, then the DoT is based off of 5% of the damage?
...vs. a target with non-Res Shields, then the DoT is based off of 10% of the damage?
...vs. a target with no shields/no shield facing, the DoT is based off of 100% of the damage?
All the of the above...after resistance? Or before resistance and then affected by resistance?
With splash damage, will folks be able to trigger this on themselves?
So along with the dumb new rep traits system we cant even have the flat out space damage increase in that new system anymore?
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
Exploit? Nah, nothing like that's going to happen.
GW1
HY1 Temporal Torp
TS2 Grav Photons
Destabilized Plasma Torp
DPB3 Bio Photon Mines
Clump 'n Thump got Bump'd!
I know how you feel...:(:(
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
It now excites me as much as my federation bridge officer space trait selections. They are now mostly either extremely convoluted and extremely specific in scope for being effective, weaker than a single good boff space trait, or simple meh. I feel bad saying this as I can clearly see the amount of effort that went into creating them but it is how I see it.
Nukara mines bypass shields to begin with and deal quite a deadly dot to begin with. Granted I have no idea how they would interact with this trait but I can hazard a guess...
Yep, they do...but I was looking at coverage - number of mines (reduce the chance of them all being eliminated) - splash - the incubation slow and rad damage...as well as Bio Photons being part of an overall Photon build for the increased damage from Photon consoles.
"The DoT from Omega Kinetic Shearing is counted both as a Hazard and as a Science-type debuff."
Doesn't really make sense to me. So basically HE and ST (as well as WCE Supercleanse) can clear it, eh?
Shouldn't kinetic shearing of the hull be an Eng thing...you know...an ET cleanse?
its official you sheep got nerfed.
essentially any major buff has already been ****ted on to "mediocre" buff.
and they straight up ****ed up t2 omega, t4 romulan.
oh and plz security officer on new romulus command PLZZZZZZZZZ
On the planet killer thing, you should make those changes to Scimitar boss ships which ignore gravity well's effects completely. (The can't cloak part)
The DoT being counted both as a Hazard and a Science type debuff makes it pure junk. Most ships carry either or both. What good is it if both counter it?
I could see it, yeah.
VR Mk I = C Mk IV
VR Mk IV = C Mk VII
VR Mk VII = C Mk X
VR Mk X = Unc Mk XII
Unc Mk XII = C Mk XIII
R Mk XII = C Mk XIV
VR Mk XII = C Mk XV
What I seen was posted by [Redacted] Fleet, I think was the name, was VR Mk XIV Weapons, Space Gear and Kit Modules, among other stuff to suggest the cap raise. These all had the actual "Mk XIV" on the item picture, which, I have never seen in this game before. I tried to get the link, but the post was flagged for violation of terms, so I can not provide images of what I saw. They claimed to have gotten the images from the .hogg files, which I know is possible, but I do not mess with game files because I like my account too much :P
And yes, I added the redacted part, I am not trying to get anyone in trouble on here
Unless its been changed in the last week or two, Nukara mines can not be buffed by any consoles. The only thing that affects them is your captain skills.
I like to use them on my bomber for messing with high shield targets but could not find anything to increase the base dmg on them.
2pc T'varo affects them...with its boost to Projectile Damage. But yeah, even Generic Mine consoles don't boost the Nukara.
Like my Vesta Class using the Grav Torp & Apdated MACO space set
I have mentioned this to some fleet mates a few months ago. There is a problem with it though. If you increase the max level, but don't fix the enemy AI, it will result in missions being way too easy. They are already easy to beat once you know how to play them.
As it stands now, the changes are lowering some of our DPS potential, however it is only going to effect PVP matches. With STFs and PVE we now have more than enough DPS to not need the passives.
TBH, I have no idea how you can say that.
Player Level 1 ~= Mob Level 1
Player Level 2 > Mob Level 2
...
Player Level 35 > Mob Level 35
...
Player Level 50 > Mob Level 50
Even though NPCs scale up as the player levels, the curve at which they scale is much lower than the curve at which the player progresses.
It creates the scenario where it is easier to fight a Level 50 version of Mob X than it is to fight a Level 10 version of Mob X.
The Player is more capable by default...since the NPCs simply don't scale appropriately with the Player. The Player can actually get worse at the game as they progress...and show progression over the NPCs - simply because of how the NPCs scale.
As sad as it is to say, if the NPCs actually scaled to match the player it would be a vast improvement. Then you take a look at "Elite" content, boosting the NPCs from the improved curve...and...there might actually be the challenge. As it is, boosting them from the weaker state imposed by their lackluster curve has resulted in the lackluster experience.
edit: But as evident in the thread discussing "difficulty" and the like...so many of the folks out there would be happier if the NPCs scaled even worse rather than better...meh.
This just killed the reputation system for me. Also concerned about the major bugs that have been reported and are not in the fix or known issue list.
Sort of. With the Gravimetric Torp, the DoT will very likely be based on the initial impact and not your Rifts, so if you touch bare hull it'll be a nice bump, but if you do all your killing with the gravimetric shears, then you'll probably see a couple hundred extra damage being tacked on from the DoT.
Nevermind, misread.
How is this pricing even remotely considered acceptable. Right now I can go and buy a kit for 60,000 Fleet Credits and get a kit and five powers, that's the equivalent of 12,000 Fleet Credits per power with the kit for free! Instead you want me to spend 42,000 Fleet Credits on the Kit Frame and 18,000 Fleet Credits on ONE power!
This is an utter rip off and there is nothing in the notes about the kit trade in.
132.000 FC for a Fleet Kit with 5 powers compared to the 60.000 FC before. They more than doubled the price. I wonder how much they will increase the attached dilithium costs.
