Feedback Pulse and Placates for the Masses

‘FBP Fairies’ and ‘Placate Princesses’ Rejoice!

I am going to hold Cryptic’s feet to the fire and demand that they spread ‘FBP and Placate Love’ to all Space NPC’s, not just PvP.

I hereby decree that the next patch will include a fix so that all Space NPC’s have ‘Feedback Pulse’ and ‘Placates’ as part of their abilities in interacting with the player, at the player’s current level. Not just a graphical representation or a watered down version, but the actual current working ability.

That is a good idea right? It shouldn’t be just a PvP thing, right? For example, all the Borg NPC’s in Ker'rat System will now have ‘Feedback Pulse’ and ‘Placates’ comparable with their level. So when the player interacts with a Borg Cube, Sphere or Probe they will either get vaped with FBP or Placated (i.e. pausing the game).

I know this suggestion will find mass support here as the PvE community has defended FBP and Placates and working as intended. Now they will get to experience these abilities first hand and be immersed in the Star Trek experience as PvP players have been.

All the Space Red Alerts, Episode Missions, Deep Space Encounters. Fleet Missions and STF’s and any other Space PvE content not included here needs to have ‘Feedback Plus’ and ‘Placates’ incorporated into their NPC’s.

    I can guarantee my ‘Right Arm’ and my ‘First Child’ that these Forums would ‘MELT’ within minutes with criticism the day Cryptic implemented the above change into PvE content.

    If that is so then why have FBP and Placates in Player vs. Player?

    Your butthurt that PvP hasn't quite imploded to a single one-dimensional strategy is amusing, but it's probably a bad sign that you've started talking to yourself...

    how many times am i going to have to report you and your threads before you realize that insulting entire groups of people for how they choose to play IS NOT TOLERATED HERE

    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    Give Space NPC’s ‘Feedback Pulse’ and ‘Placate’ abilities as they currently are. We will see how fast this forum board lights up with criticism.

    What bothers me with the FBP and Placate abilities as they are now in PvP is that as a Lifer who has invested in the game...grinded the Rep Sys & the Spec.Tree's, upgraded to Epic equip, purchased C-Store Ships for Ship Traits and opened many Lock Boxes...
    ...all that work and investment means absolutely nothing.

    I can level a F2P character in 2 days and train FBP and Placates and be a PvP Phenom.
    That doesn't sound right does it? That is not good game design.

    Oh, I would love for the NPC's to follow the exact same rules as the players.

    Maybe that would make them repair their game. So much potential is being thrown away with STO.

    NPC's don't have to follow player rules. What I am saying is that FBP and Placates should be in the Space NPC’s repertoire of abilities to resist attackers.

    Imagine doing an Infected Conduit run for DPS and the first Cube vapes the entire team with FBP or trying to take down the Gate but you can’t because it keeps placating you.

    That is currently the reality for the PvP player. It doesn’t belong in PvP. If the Dev’s think it does then please introduce it to PvE so everyone can enjoy this game more.

    actually I have asked for things like that... still for the idea.

    And after all these years I thought it was Feedback Pulse. Silly me.

    Apologies for the typo. But the way that ability is behaving it should be called Feedback with a +Plus.

    What is going under the radar screen here is that FBP and Placates are turning player against player. This game is meant to be fun and entertaining but instead the use of FBP and Placates is creating conflict between players. Instead of this game creating a good vibe in players it is leaving many players frustrated and embittered. That is not why you play a game.

    The raging that goes on in Zone when FBP and Placates are used is incredible.

    I just wish the Dev’s would fix this issue and be done with it. It is creating conflict between players in the game where there shouldn’t be any. Instead of being a gaming community we are at each others throats over the use of FBP and Placates.

    problem with this is we're a gaming community. we're always at each others throat about something. see every 3rd thread on this forum. gamers will fight over anything.
