    Blah blah blah, yahoo another Reputation/Specialization to grind. I earn those Specialization Points too slow as it is because I don't want to become a grinding hamster.

    PLEASE let this be true.

    Also, PLEASE provide a cowboy hat for use in the tailor. That, combined with the LTS badge, means "there ain't enough room in this quadrant fer the both of us"...

    Also also, duels on Nimbus III, for gits and snuggles.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Funny thing about time travel. Technically, it has always been that way.

    Too early for April Fools so probably legit, seems like something that would only benefit PvP though.

    Has to be an April fool they cannot be putting something this badly designed and thought out into the game. Talk about a flawed Specialization.

    By the time most of it triggers it’s useless. Take Close the gap by the time 4 seconds has passed for it to activate you have already closed the gap and don’t need the speed boost to close the gap. The other problem is by the time most of the powers trigger the target is already dead or almost dead so the buffs are not useful.

    Looks like most of the buffs that will activate, will be yet more boosts for doing things most players were already doing anyway.
  • fleetcaptain5#1134 fleetcaptain5 Member Posts: 5,051 Arc User
    I might use this spec tree, and try harder to have a primary target :p

    Seriously though, it would have been nice if these weren't just bonuses for things everyone was already doing. More boosts and more damage plus more survivability so that you ignore everything around you without sacrificing much, isn't exactly what I think was needed.

    Does this come with a title unlock? Because "Constables" are the members of my headcanon Deferi faction and it'd greatly enhance my Deferi characters if they could choose that title pig-1.gif​​

    Dang, just when I was seeing a bright light at the end of the Spec Tree tunnel, it really does turn out to be just a freight train heading my way.

    I doubt I can get Miracle worker finished before this hits. Aw well, more to do at least.

    Also, since 14.5 is coming Soon™, does this mean we'll be getting that super-complex-from-a-design-standpoint mission with it?

    Yeah it does seem like a joke, but they might end up making a proper specialization after the joke is over.

    I have lost the ability to take this game seriously enough that I am no longer able to tell whether this an April Fools joke or not..


    ..I don't think that's a good thing.

    get dilithium instead of spec point over 195.. so why not allow dilithium to buy spec points in the first place? None of my toons have finished all the spec trees. They take the longest and have the longest grind.. doff missions, admiralty missions, stfs, argala blah.. I would buy spec points if I could, and while I know a shortcut.. it is a VERY EXPENSIVE shortcut.

    4 seconds? Does the Crystalline even last 4 seconds? Barely.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Sounds interesting, since it could benefit any type of ship. I've always liked single-target type builds. The newer content can make use of this, as with the Tzenkethi that have high non-front facing shields and high damage resistances.

    Look forward to what constable bridge officers and specialty ship abilities these will come with.

    It's a secondary spec so there won't be any bridge officer abilities or specialty ship abilities...
