Don't presume a ship is a rainbow failboat...

I got raged at the other day because my cruiser had beams of various colours, well hasn't it ocurred that weapons have multiple colours now.
My cruiser has all high end phasers however they were of various sub types: Standard (yellow) Biomatter (Blue) and TierBox Bio (Green) yet they are all phasers and i use purple XI phaser boosters.
So guys, remember don't assume people are using a rainbow boat now that many weapon sub types are of differing colour now.
Thanks.

and elitist never listen. while a single dmg type rainbow boat is viable it's not optimal. so they will still whine about it.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Bon't bother if someone tries to dictate you to change your weapon colours to a single one
Ignore the control freaks
(Heck, during undine infiltration one of them tried to tell me that i don't have to use my TR-rifle there ... within the first few seconds after beaming in.... before the shield dropped, i kept the rifle equipped of course, that guy whispered me 25-30 times each time angrier and angrier that i have to change my weapon, which i found quite amusing also because he died 4 times during the mission, he was the only one who died in that STF)
my smart*** self would have switched to my shard sword of kahless. or bare fists. and told everyone one why I did it.

Rage at multiple Phaser types.
Throw a TOS phaser or Andorian phaser on it and add fuel to the fire. At least its all the same damage type.
Used to know a fleet member who would jump into pugs in a rainbow cruiser with full MK XII Fleet gear just to troll...
More often than not, they'd come out on top for DPS...
Bare Fists? There is nothing at all wrong with using unarmed combat. If you know the combos, there are a bunch of moves with several status effects attached to them. It happens to be my favorite type ground combat.
I don't know the combos :P
and am too lazy to learn em for a game that doesn't need em, I just switch to my gun when I need to stop playing around.

1. They spend too much time obsessing over the optional objectives as if it's the end of the world if the team fails them.
2. They call the whole team noobs despite the fact they die more often than the rest of the team.
3. They spend too much time sitting outside the combat area whinning in team chat rather than actually taking part and threatening to report everyone
If there are anymore trends please post them...

I was thinking of a KDF ship, the IKS Rainbow Warrior
Being so obsessed with their weapons buffing that they are completely incapable of surviving a prolonged, multi-tiered attack from multiple NPCs, and thus demanding that such mission's NPCs are way overpowered and that "nobody" is capable of defeating them.
posting threads on the forum about how terrible everyone else is... or how thing they do is about skill anything they don't like is cheese or op. though that doesn't happen as much as as it could. I think it's cause their so little focus on pvp
to pvpers: not saying all pvpers do such things, some of you are awesome people, but it does sometimes attract certain personality types.

I don't think this is entirely accurate.
Last time I checked, unarmed did considerably less damage than with a weapon equipped.
But I admit, this may have changed.
That said, I love the unarmed combat style.
For a loooong time, I've wanted to see some equip-able weapon, for stats only (dmg), to make unarmed melee animations competitive with current armed damage.
I was thinking photonic sparring gloves or something like brass knuckles, using the unarmed animations.

Oh oh oh! How about complaining on the forums about low lvl players bringing low tier ships into fleet alerts.
That one really got me laughing.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
Oh yes, I remember that one.
To add to the list, I do like how the more verbal elitist player will stay stone silent if our group of noobs in useless ships still complete the mission with optionals. And there is never an apology of course, they just warp out the second they are able to.
And of course, though I'd never recommend it, landing your own verbal smackdown on them that shuts them up for the rest of the mission :P
EDIT: I've got some EC saved up to burn, since there are plenty of Disruptor types I'm going have a go at the pretend rainbow boat myself.
Need? No. Fun? Yes. Especially in Shooter Mode. And you get to do some of the trademark moves like Kirk's Chop and Double Fist Punch.
It does do lower damage. That is why my Martial Artist is a Romulan for their bonus to Melee Combat and the Innate Knockdown Proc.
Also, keep in mind that Martial Arts has Shield Bypass, does Interrupts, Area of Effect Exploits, Damage Over Time (that stacks, no less) and it's faster than ranged weapons.
Indeed. I have been considering making a thread request a Rep Gear that boosts Martial Arts. I just might do that.
So this happened few times and so I was fed up. Rainbow ship, yeah. So I changed my hull to have no colors, just a hull color. And between playnig missions it happened again - RAINBOW SHIP. Gee, that was it. I had enough. I asked one player whats wrong with my ship - there are no colors on my hull . so what's his problem. Than he said to me: "Why are you using different tipe of weapons?!" So I found out what rainbow ship means.
Now I have same tipe of weapons on all of my ships. Its better this way. But in the past I always thought that let's say if you use different tipe of weapons on your ship, Borg can't adapt to them that fast (How stupid of me).
To be fair, there is a certain degree of logic to that idea.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
Yes. Yes, there is. Sadly, Borg don't Adapt in Space Battle but have Shields instead.
So finally I took the time to type "LESS &#^*ING. MORE SPACEBAR!!!!" That seemed to shut them up.
The design theory is 'lazy'. I parse between 5-6k dps in it without trying, and always CC the spheres in my warp plasma. Never get any complaints, but then people in pugs rarely say anything at all.
