Started playing the new content for AoY. Found a few unpleasant suprises waiting for me.
-- The Self-Leveling TOS phasers from the TOS Connie. My favorite weapon to use when leveling a new Fed because I can save a little money that doesn't have to be spent buying new beams every ten levels (plus I like the blue color and classic sound), have been de-∞'d and made into plain old level 1 phasers.
-- Spent a lot of Zen buying Skill Point Boosts in preparation (because leveling a Fed is soooooo borrrrinnnnggg! Find that I can't use them for Spock knows what reason.
-- "Magic Box" number game encryption on the Temporal Probes. God I HATE that one so very much! Please assume that not everyone is a math nerd OK, Devs?
By Level 21 I just stopped playing that toon anymore. The frustration-to-reward ratio was totally off wack and it became anti-fun.

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
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."
That said, I don't see this thread going any place good with a title like that ...
They are, i'm using them as well. Its just the ship beams dont have the little icon anymore.
Well, it was pretty much what I was saying to myself as I encountered one bad thing after another. Not Delta Rising level of annoyance, but it was getting close.
True, but even if it shaved a little bit of time spent on grinding, it was worth it imo.
And thanks for the "Brushie Fox" .gif BTW. It made my day.
I'm just waiting for next week's XP bonus myself. Leveled my TOS guy to level 10 yesterday only because it was the only way to open the JJ uniform box ... which is something that I found extremely annoying. TOS uniforms are ugly, JJ uniforms are awesome and very similar, so why did I have to wait? Also, why can't I use any of the TOS badges on the JJ uniform?
When I was preparing for AOY I had a look at the skill boosts and totally agree with you. The boost is practically worthless and will be gone in no time.
Daizen - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
Selia - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
can I get more [higher levels, better quality, more mod choices] of these twin beams?
why there is no dual twin beam bank?!
[:P]
There's a dual single beam bank, probably the best you can hope for. Battle of Caleb 4 is repeatable and always rewards TOS space weapons.
Heaven forbid you would actually have to work for rewards.
Heaven forbid you actually read his posts. He was speaking of the Reward to frustration RATIO.

Yeah, I can also back that up. I can't use skill boosts with my AoY character, either. It seems to think I'm stuck in tutorial.
Devs don't care what us peasants below think. My OP was adressed to the players.
Threads with titles like that tend to either get closed, or disappeared. The Devs certainly do care.
welp I do know it is dual single beam bank and thats why I'm despairing already on lack of dual twin phaser beam bank :P
Best bit, all the ones I found like this were loot drops. Also, anyone with the 'retrofit' beam arrays from the dividian arc had better go check them again, not sure if it'll be a pleasant surprise though...
Can't you just use DOFFing and XP weekends to shave off time/effort much more efficiently?
Sure you can't power through it, but it seems like trying to hit level cap in a hurry will just make it even worse, more frustrating and more boring for you anyways.
