    Today is the 5th dude.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    Considering there is a live stream of the new STF soon, I wouldn't think very long.

    Well, until we get the full stats of the new ships, gonna be hard to say if T5-U is going to be competitive or not, though right now I'm leaning towards not. I take it this will be tested?

    Hehe, nope.

    You realize that Cryptic releases testing stuff way too late for any meaningful changes to be made, right?

    Hello,
    I am having some difficulty logging in to tribble.
    My tribble character didn't have all the ships I had on the holodeck, so I initiated a character transfer. When i did, there was no option fo rtribble, only redshirt. I transferred to redshirt and logged in. Wile it wa spatching, I saw there was no option for tribble on the launcher either. I logged in to redshirt, but when it got to the "Retrieving list of characters....." step, it said account ticket timeout. What should I do? I really want to see how cool this update is!

    Cncamon1,

    Unless you are a subscriber, you will not be able to access Tribble at this time. Silver players are currently locked out of Tribble at this time. As we get closer to the launch, Cryptic will probably open it up to Silver players.

    You are also forgetting, MK XIII and MK XIV gear. I think T5-u will be ok because the way they got it setup it looks like there are only a few things different than T6.

    In PVP I am sure you would want a T6 ship just so the opponent doesn't have the edge. Me personally I am sticking with my Scimitar in space battles and my Fed Engineer for ground stuff.

    Oh I'm not, I mean a T6 and T5-U will both be able to slot whatever gear so in that regard that's fairly irrelevant. What is relevant is whether the way T6 ships are in general stat wise will make them out and out superior.

    Honestly I'd like to think I'm wrong, because I've always said that you should be able to fly any ship at end game and so long as it is built well not be a hindrance because of it. At the moment I see that one good aspect of the game going out the window.

    It didn't help when they quickly made it clear that the JHAS is a full T6 just to save their precious sales on an over-hyped ship.

    I guess part of Delta Rising to get the full voyager feel those who either buy that overpriced pack or even stay playing for the most part will get the feeling like they were robbed and stranded in the delta quadrant so they can feel just like the crew of voyager felt.

    So far so good. Still don't like the upgrades not being on par with the new ships so hopefully that will change for the better. Does anyone know if current reputation projects for space and ground sets will be scaled to MK XIV?

    From whats on Tribble now we can surmise that even if it doesn't automatically scale it may scale for an as yet undecided fee through the item upgrade system.

    [May contain spoilers]
    OK, some notes here, before I post more detailed Feedback in the according threads.
    I've replayed all of the DR content, some because I had to Level up and thats the first Problem:

    If there is more Content to test, please make it Level 50 playable it took me like forever to get to 51.
    In the final, I don't care so much, if leveling is fast or slow (althogh I liked the fast leveling of STO), but if you or me reset my tribble characters it will again take much time, which I won't invest anymore in Tribble.

    Leveling seems very inconsistent. Missions give barely XP at all, while killing enemy space ships gives still pretty much. So the best way to Level is to Play disconnected and fly to the left side.
    Since every sub-Mission of the second new Mission was a space fight, I reached another Level. Which felt weird since it took so Long to get Level 51.

    Graphic is still pretty Buggy, but I've the Feeling, that it got a bit better.

    Gameplay is too easy. I played all missions on elite and in real combat I died once, against a borg cube (at Hugh's) with Zero space traits active. With a Standard T5 space cruiser. No fleet verion, medium geared. If you say you want to make the game harder again, you failed so far.

    The disconnected Queue is also fairly easy, but I could only Play Standard. However, I do nearly no Elite STFs on Holodeck right now, because I'm too weak.
    A better Introduction for the STF was nice, like in Undine Assault. It can be dropped in the Elite Versions.

    One last Thing: I got marked(my own ship) as friend and as foe(at different times):

    You guys need to fix the level up XP for 51-60. It's still giving like 17k expertise and only 2k skill points like it does when you hit 50. It's converting most of the SP to Expertise.
