I'm down. I know this is a little late, but frankly I've been trying to find a group that would work like this. I'm starting to get sick of the people bashing me at the end of every STF because they post the DPS stats for the round in chat and I'm always at the bottom. If it's not too late to join up, then I'll totally do this.

No worries, the lengthy reply was exactly what I was after.
One thing I do want to consider doing soon is taking a look at how to tweak my JHDC to stay around the 20k to 30k range while being a total STB build. One of the main reasons for this is so that if someone wants to bring another ship to an STB run for fun, they won't be worried about setting the group back if their performance isn't perfect. The only bad thing is, I wish that I had someone of comparable gear fed side with an STB build. Right now, federation Chel Grett is close to that, but it runs Tetryons, so I'm considering going with a Hirogen Ship (which might be cheaper than getting new weapons lol). But I'm going to wait until after the anniversary to decide.
There is one thing I am very excited about though: Nulana just hit 50, and she's in a Brel Bird of Prey Retrofit. I'm keeping her gear with no consoles and just the starting mk X white gear, and it was actually really easy to do a Japori Patrol with her, and she still tore through things.
I'd like to "go into glorious battle" in order to get her new gear, like do "a raid on a blah blah" to get better weapons and such. If anyone wants to accompany me on patrols and that kind of thing, I'd love it. Basically 30 seconds of RP to justify doing an IC raid in the blah system to justify my OoC purchase of a new torpedo, console, or warp core. Even if you can't run the mission (because of faction) but want to meet at Drozana or w/e to discuss the upcoming raid, it would be fun (for me at least :P )

I don't think it's too late to join STB as it's still going as far as I know:P
I mentioned this in the previous posts but we do parse ISA to check our DPS now and then and some, liike myself, is trying to improve a canon build so that we can tackle the Elite content. I'm finding it hard to push my build/playstyle past a certain number but I'm in no rush.
We have completed some noteworthy things like Borg Disconnected Elite, Azured Elite, Korfez (when no Benthans) & Hive Advanced with canon builds and we will keep trying to do so. I myself have to upgrade my weapons but am in no rush to do so.
I will NOT tolerate any shaming in channel because that's not what STB is about. It might seem so at times when we posting up numbers but really... when we fail a mission we just shrug it off because in the end it's just a game and we're all here to have fun.
Myself or another admin will send you an invite and please if there are anymore questions let us know.

Kin is running a JHDC and has a good build from the looks of it. Maybe converse witih Kin and see if there is anything you 2 can take from it. I believe Dys (Kin's alt) has hit 20k if I'm not mistaken.
As for your KDF.. GRATS! Just ask in chat what you want to run and if I'm free I will totally do things on the KDF side and I know others will like Norgh (again.. Kin's alt), Mintaka & Kor just to name a few. It's nice to take a break from the blue side an let loose the RED! haha!

Hope to see you in game!
This, all of this. I have some TRIBBLE ships, and I have some awesome ships, and most of the time, we're bringing enough firepower to an STB run that you shouldn't have to worry, just let us know, and it most likely won't be a problem at all. I for one would much rather have someone from the STB channel in a fresh, out-of-the-box t4 ship that wants to have fun instead of some elitist pug that obsesses over dps.
Unless you see something like, "We're about to attempt to do blah blah elite, we've never done it before" I don't think there's any reason to worry about your gear. Most of the time, it seems to me that we just want a full group.
I'm always up for KDF runs! Well, if cogentco decides not to TRIBBLE my ISP and I can actually get a reliable connection to the STO server...
My Tac is back in his Fleet B'Rel and my Eng will soon be back in the lovely Fleet D7!
And this thread now has (at least for me) 100 pages, wow!

I didn't even realize how many pages this was haha. Hopefully we can attract more interest in STB because not only do I enjoy the pew pew with the people in STB but I really truly enjoy just the chats we have.
STB has a GREAT group of Captains in channel and it's been a pleasure to serve with all of you!
I look forward to doing more STO content with all of you Captains/Generals/Commanders!

P.S.
This is for the admins of the forums... I would like to change the title of this thread and have tried but have had no success? Did I need to ask someone to do so or is there something wrong I'm doing?
I have tried to edit it which it does show on the 1st page but the main title as it shows on the forums is STILL the old one.
Hopefully I can get some assistance in this lil matter - thanks in advance.
Even with TRIBBLE weapons, no consoles and not even a finished skill tree, my B'rel seems to put out a decent amount of damage. But my god it can't take a hit. It's heal potential is TRIBBLE as well. I'm considering completely redoing my build setup to have 2 photon torps up front, a DHC and a single cannon up front (or two DHC's), a turret in the back with a torp.
From some pictures from the show, the torpedoes looked green, while of course photons are the orange-ish red.
I'm planning on staying with run of the mill protons unless I get some cool ones from missions or rep boxes... we'll just wait and see.
As I've been progressively adding gear, things are getting better defensively, (the leech really upped my power levels), and as I add consoles, things will probably be just fine on it.
Klingons have been shown to use both red/orange photon torpedoes and green ones, so just go with what you like better. I run bio-molecular photons on my KDF ships (and D'Kyr, since its photonic torpedoes were also green), I've seen others using plasmas but those just don't look right to me, and plasma torpedoes are a Romulan thing.
That's my favorite resource for learning to rebind the keyboard keys if you don't know how...
Now, as requested, the syntax for binding a call for focus fire is:
K "Team Focus Fire On: >>$target<<", with K being my choice of key and everything before the the
$target being window dressing on the call...not sure how to adjust, but by default, it will post to team chat
These are my binds to select teammates and send heals quickly..of note is the F5 bind, which makes
the target of my target my new target, e.g. if teammate 2 has a borg cube selected, I press F2 to select them, press S for science team, and press F5 to select the cube
I had a blast yesterday with the STO group. Ran a Japori patrol kdf side with a carrier, a cruiser, and my bird of prey. It was quite fun.
I also botched an ISA... which was totally my fault. I basically learned that since I've been running in high dps premades the entire time I've played "end game" (I only leveled alts prior to DR and did basic stfs), I never knew how to do an ISA the "correct way."
One of my favorite things to do with the group are patrols, there's little downtime for cut scenes, and any group size is good, but more is better. Best of all: it's ships, and just all ships. In a lot stfs, there's a lot of moving around and separation with a few minutes of "boss fight" like in bdn. But in a patrol, we're all right there, blowing stuff up together.
Anyways, I'd love to see the group do more patrols together, not for the xp or the ship mastery, but just to do them...
I have no problem running patrols, I do have a problem grinding patrols. Since you don't care about XP, there are patrols outside of the Delta Quadrant (and Tau Dewa) that probably haven't been done to death by most players.
From my experience, no matter how early or late I get on, someone's always in the channel. It does get quiet at times, but I can't imagine that being the case every time you're on.
Could you check your privacy settings? It's in the social panel, I forget what tab, team settings, I think? Go in there, make sure you don't have it set up to only see friends' chat. Even if the settings look right, there have been cases where people have had to switch them to the opposite setting, then back to see non-friends' chat. Give that a try. I believe the command /whitelist_chat 1 does the same thing.
I wanted to join the action, but since joining the STB channel about a month ago, whenever I'm logged on, no one is on the channel.
I'm GMT+2 - is it a time-zone "issue"? (i.e., are all of you in the US?)
thanks
I'm in GMT, and really the only time it is quiet is 12-2PM for me, and while most of this channel is in America, there are a lot of people around GMT, and you can usually get a team together. As long as you are not expecting a 20P SB24. Must do another of them again.
Well, didn't get to do much tonight with the exception of the new FE... got it done... BARELY!
Had a bit of a hard time with the last part but it seemed I got far enough in some where it would respawn me in the platforms above?
Also.. there's a BOFF you can get from the mission I'm reading?... I got thru the maze ok.. only like 3 dead ends but if I knew there was a BOFF in there I would've looked for him... but I prolly would'nt have never finished it in time... Oh well..
Ill be on Tribble for a bit.... if I don't see anyone on anymore tonight.. Have a good night Caps! 07
yeah, I had a hard time with the last part as well.... I died several times and had no idea what was going on other than the platforms were seemingly retracting instantly.... then my wife, watching over my shoulder, said, "Don't step on the panels"
On my graphics settings, you can barely even see that there are panels shocking you to death. Since the platforms retract as soon as you die, it seems like you're running out of time instead of being shocked.... way to go.
Time to brag: I selected Very Hard, activated the platforms out of order, and still made it across without any problems. The electrocuting panels were pretty obvious to me, just because they look different than the rest of the panel.
I'm so glad they're getting a little braver with the mission design in STO. It's actually pretty good gameplay, rather than just shooting and interacts. Love how it didn't hold my hand and tell me where to go the entire time (which totally wrecked Dragon's Deceit for me), even if it's still pretty linear.
The one thing that bugged me was letting us get to the top of the maze, but having invisible walls so we couldn't jump on top of it. Gameplay wise, that's perfect, lets you get a glimpse of the route you should take through maze. Design wise, there should have been forcefields or something.
Well, even though while I was on, we didn't actually get any runs going, it was fun chatting while I was doing the Omega Minigame, and it was a shame I couldn't spend longer on, as I believ you were about to start a run, but t is 4:30 am here, and the game became unplayable laggy, and so I had to leave the patrol I was in, and the daily for the qmendations.
(P.S. Any mistakes this time is a combination f my tiredness and my IPads autocorrect. Useless thing.)
I feel so lucky to have finished the episode without being disconnected...The lag was something that could reach out ot the monitor and slap you in the face saying ''go to sleep,idiot''...ran the maze then got pulled back to the beginning, passed the paths then died at the end :eek: , fired at the ships and they still had all the hp and shields-.- It was a wonder a finished that one. :mad:
The episode in itself is very nice, has actions that capture your attention and i found myself reading or listening to the dialogs to find out what will happen.
I'll be around later this evening hoping that the lag will leave me alone!
