    My concern is the mini gravimetric wells. That would be a brutally painful loss. I guess I'd have to switch to quantum phase. I won't give up 1 torpedo on each ship no matter what.

    Agreed. I run at least one, normally 2 (fore and aft). never changing that.

    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Two of my four toons do use torpedoes: a Vesta running the full Breen set and transphasic torpedoes, and a DSD with regular quantum torpedoes. For my Dromias, my intent was to make that ship act as close to "canon" as possible, and while I know they do in game, I don't think I ever saw the Undine fire torpedoes in the show.

    Aaaand then there's my engie's Vesta. That ship is purely for fun. It doesn't have torps, but that ship is (in my headcanon) a testbed for experimental tech, including various phasers. Out-of-universe, it makes me laugh (but might make other people fume if they see it and judge it by appearances! :D ) because it LOOKS like a rainbow boat that you'd think I packed phasers, disruptors, and tetryons onto all at the same time...but every beam coming out of it is in fact a phaser. (Regular, biomolecular, and quantum.)

    Just wonder what kind of effect, if any, this will have on my main's Temporal Warfare set, since he's got the launcher from it.

    Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.

    I too will not give up my one or two torps on each ship. I'm not obsessed with mega-DPS, as long as I survive and my enemy doesn't that's good enough for me. I don't need to vaporize everything in one shot, that gets incredibly boring, incredibly fast.

    But I do applaud the DOFF fix and the mail fix. I got hit with the invisible items bug last time I sent some things out to a friend. It's a bit surprising to slot something and it looked like it didn't 'take'. Thankfully, said friend had been hit by the bug, so she calmed my fears that the game wasn't letting me send things I darn well knew I could send.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    They actually didn't fix invisible items, just put it on the known issues list.:(

    We're going to be extending out our maintenance window to 10:30 in order to address some login fixes.

    Was about to ask about the delay, but better to have a small delay that starting QWW with issues.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Did they fix the problem where you some times get randomly teleported to the vulcan sector?
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    I also have a question. Would those login errors have anything to do with a friend of mine being unable to purchase zen? She's very upset that every avenue she's tried (card, paypal and skrill that I know of) has been rejected.

    Those patch notes sound incredibly positive.

    I wonder how it'll actually look like in game.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    ;) Can't get any more pointless than they have in the Winter Ship thread with people complaining that a eng cruiser has more eng consoles than tac consoles. :p

    RIP The Breach; you will be missed. That mission was a significantly different experience from the other queues. Why did they remove it anyway?

    It might have something to do with the probation thing for credit cards they're running, I've had a fleetbuddy with similar problems, eventually he was able to buy it, but the item in question got locked to a character instead. Did she contacted support? I don't think the login issues have much to do with billing.


    And, as for ext. maintenance, I'd rather a smooth start after the patch/maintenance and wait a bit longer, then experience bugs and opening tickets etc.

    With downtimes regulary being extended beyond 18:30 UTC, you should propably consider changing your shedule to a timeframe
    thats not constantly TRIBBLE with the primetime of your most numerous playerbase.
    Theres good reason your direct competitor is performing maintainance at 13:30 UTC...
  • gradiigradii Member Posts: 2,824 Arc User
    More eng consoles means more EPS I'm ok with that.

    Why dont you dev's actually read the gigantic list of bug reports and try fixing those before releasing more broken content? The bug report forum has plenty for you to read. 70% of the problems in the game are listed in there, most of them game breaking and not one acknowledgment in the known issues list. Be happy that there are people out there willing to pay money hand over fist, and that you all have jobs. I will not be contributing any more cash until I see some positive action being taken. Ooh, winter event! forget about the bugs like broken hangar pets, tailor problems, traits dissapearing..snow guns!

    People here are so gullible

    Of course, the apologists will defend you, i understand.
