Pakleds outnumber both orions and caitians. The world is ending.

legendarylycan · January 2015

wait...people have HAVE pakled characters? i've never seen one...i swear to the great bird, in over 3 years of playing, i have NEVER seen a single player pakled

and what's the percentage of players who have male orions? or doesn't it break down by gender?

tazurensavulen · January 2015

What infographic?

kitsunesnout · January 2015

My question as well. Considering that huge number, it's probable that the number of pakleds etc is inflated by alt accounts, possibly even bots and so on that would never bother unlocking a paid species. So I'm sure the true number of active caitians is more than the active number of pakleds.

You are looking at false statistics. Benzite, Bolian, Pakled, Rigelian, Saurian, and Tellarite, no one, NO ONE plays those. NO ONE! I guarantee you, every single one of them are all NPCs.

If these statistics include NPCs as well as players, wouldn't Caitians far outnumber Ferasans? There aren't exactly that many NPC Ferasans kicking around out there.

To be fair, I once saw a player Pakled on Drozona, but it was Drozona... You never can tell...

If Kartakin polearms are added I WILL be making a male Tellarite named Space Dwarf the Mighty.

lindaleff · January 2015

Do one better than that. If polearms get added, you can buy the Vaadwaur robes, and make an Ezio character. See for yourself.

On second thought, you really should buy those robes anyway.

legendarylycan · January 2015

eh, TRIBBLE ezio; i'd rather make this guy, but forehead wrinkles aren't possible as of yet - that i've seen, anyway

also, that particular hairstyle doesn't exist either; there's one close to it, but not spot on

kitsunesnout · January 2015

In regards to what I remarked on earlier, some of the Vaadwaur weapons DO in fact have the proper sounds. The Vaadwaur full auto rifle primary fire, and the Vaadwaur sniper rifles have the proper sound for all shots. But everything else sounds like regular polaron. Any case, I do like snipers so pretty happy about them anyway, gave my cait boffs nothing but Vaadwaur sniper/full auto and enjoyed some boom boom shots taking down the voth in dyson Jurassic park =^,.,^=

lindaleff · January 2015

So, the Vaadwaur outfit is 150 Lobi, and I have 140. Are we ever going to get another Episode Replay, or should I just dump my Lobi?

lindaleff · January 2015

I am in need of assistance. I need someone who can craft training manuals for Shock and Awe 1, Take Cover 3, and Timely Intervention 3.

Also, here is the coin from this year's party pooper.

legendarylycan · January 2015

are those all command powers? you need 10 points spent in the command tree to unlock the ability to craft manuals for those powers, and i don't think anyone's gotten that far yet - at least no one you actually know

lindaleff · January 2015

Not even someone like you grinding Argala?

legendarylycan · January 2015

i haven't touched the game much except to start R&D projects since the winter event ended, and i haven't been near argala since the XP weekend

EDIT: also, rank 1 & 2 powers should all be available for purchase at a boff trainer, so you should at least be able to get shock and awe 1

lindaleff · January 2015

Why don't I have the ability to craft any of the Commander abilities, like Turret Fabrication III, or Reroute Power to Shields III? What am I missing here?

legendarylycan · January 2015

i believe those are both part of the list of 'rare' boff abilities that warpdust said weren't going to be included until they could find a 'proper way to introduce them'

which, of course, means dilithium will be involved in some way, as if they need even more of a sink

here's the quote, in case you're interested

One feature that will not be finished when the system goes live is the handling of rare abilities that can only be obtained from rare bridge officers (randomly generated or special mission rewards). We are still working on this feature and will provide more information on it in the future. For the moment though we wanted to inform the community that if they already have these rare bridge officers or obtain any in the future to not delete them. Make sure to keep them and once this feature is complete it will allow players to train other bridge officers with those rare abilities. The details on how this feature will function is still under review and development.

lindaleff · January 2015

And exactly why do we need a "proper" introduction? I already had the ability to train Turret Fabrication III, so why do I need to be re-introduced to it?

legendarylycan · January 2015

because cryptic can't revamp any system without making at least some part of it needlessly complicated?

ashkrik23 · February 2015

You cats should be ashamed.

lindaleff · February 2015

If I were to buy a Command or Intel ability, can I give it to any officer, regardless of career?

legendarylycan · February 2015

so long as the officer in question is a command or intel/whatever hybrid, yes

to make an existing boff one will require a special training manual, and they're expensive - both to craft and buy

EDIT: well, okay, the specialization qualifications aren't that expensive on the exchange...an intel one is only 375k EC

command ones are far higher, probably because not many have unlocked the ability to craft them yet

lindaleff · February 2015

To have someone craft them, what would I need to give?

legendarylycan · February 2015

i have no idea, because none of my characters are at the level of specialization needed to even craft an intel one, let alone command ones

i do know that ones of the costs is 31k dil, but that's it

lindaleff · February 2015

Cryptic took the reputation stuff away from the dilithium event. And I had been saving my T5 missions for this too. So much for me doing any real playing this week.

loukoc · February 2015

So I've been saving up my Marks and T5 reps for naught?

Well, bummer.

mjarbar · February 2015

But you can still turn them in for the regular amount though yes? They haven't removed the dill from the T5 reward altogether?

lindaleff · February 2015

You can turn them in, but that is useless. Cryptic completely removed Reputation from the event. We don't get any bonus to turn in Marks, no bonus to turn in Neural Processors, just nothing. They completely removed any reason to run Marks missions in the first place.

kitsunesnout · February 2015

I've never actually even been around for a dil weekend I think. But any case the hourly turn in for marks have always been a good income IF only I had the time to play enough, and I haven't been in for almost a week now I think? Guess at this point I'm not even going to try for the anniversary ship or set, I just don't have the time or will to grind anymore like that so I'm on a break pretty much till something interesting comes up again.
