I've been here so long......

here's a fun little thread idea for us vets, bring up something you do, or use in your build that comes from the olden days....


I've been here so long, that I still fly away from random NPC ships in sector space so they don't drag me into a fight.

and I've been here so long, that all of the weapons on my main toon's ship all have [Borg] proc's.

    I've been here so long, that I still prefer 3 quantum torpedo launchers on my Excelsior in favor of all beam FAW!

    I've been here so long:

    I remember when people trolled ESD by chaining self destruct, repeatedly killing everyone who warped in and respawned.

    I remember when exploration cruisers had a turn rate of 5 and how the players petitioned Cryptic for a boost to 6 and the devs actually listened.

    I remember when purple Mk X tac consoles gave 30% damage boost before they were nerfed.

    I remember when "endgame" gear consisted of antiproton weapons and purple Mk X covariant [cap]x3 shields and the only way to get them was pvp.

    I remember the first universal console was the assimilated module.

    I've been here so long I remember when we needed EPS consoles on every ship to help offset weapon power drain.

    I've been here so long, I still have my Kar'Fi that I bought with Emblems :D Even still using it to this day

    I've been here so long, I hit 1000 day Veteren for real, thanks to my LTS
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    I remember when this game was much more than a race to the DPS finishline... back before we had a dozen things to grind for gear. Back when we used to be Star Trek.

    I've been here so long... I've forgotten my builds from the prehistoric days of STO: Science Rules, where people laughed at the tacticals who could only do dps, so nobody played tac.

    Dude. Those days never happened. It was escorts online from launch until cannons got a huge nerf. Then after the level cap was raised to 50 (and the bug ship was introduced), power creep slowly made tacs in escorts unstoppable dps monsters again. It's been tacs in FAW cruisers since before legacy of Romulus that are the dps monsters now.

    I've been here so long I still stash away Dosi Rotgut into the fleet bank thinking it's still worth something.



    But yes, also crafted my own Delta Flyer, and earned my elite STF gear sets the hard way for both my KDF and fed toons from random prototech drops.

    I've been here so long that I can remember when we could explore clusters before Cryptic improved content by taking them away into the night never to been seen again.......

    I remember when one could fly to a corner of a Cluster and suddenly find oneself in uncharted territory that went on and on and on....

    Sometimes I did that just to feel like I was actually "Where No Man Has Gone Before..."

    - I've been here so long that my original character took roughly 5-6 months to level , as I just flew around in empty maps just for the fun of it looking at how pretty it (and my ship) was .

    - I've been here so long , I remember when everybody specced all their points into Space in the original Spec tree , and even the players who were better then me had to be carried on the ground parts of the old STF's .
    (a little humility is good for the soul)

    - I've been here so long , that I too have leveled Klingons mostly through PVP ... , and speaking of which ...

    - I've been here for so long that I remember players playing PVP throughout most of their leveling process .
    (hint : lower level PVP was AWESOME , when you had 2-4 powers and the rest was skill(z) :P)

    - I've been here so long that I remember Armek not being doable without a Sci (most of the time) .
    (good times ... , even the tears ...)


    ... and I've been here for long enough to consider the Atari days (sparse as they were) to be better then the "shiny" PWE days that followed ... , both for players and Devs ... as you can't buy the enthusiasm of either ... there is no price on that ..

    I've been here I so long that I expect a Gravity Well and Warp Plasma combo to actually kill things.

    I've been here so long that I blame Attack Pattern Alpha for everything.

    I've been here so long I think of running 8 beams as shooting yourself in the foot.

    I've been here so long I think of Fire at Will as nothing but a mine clearing tool.
