  • PWE is removing all race/class/profession/rank/ship restrictions. They are also removing every ship and item in the game except for phaser beam arrays. The only ship players will have is the Miranda. This is to ensure no one is different from anyone else and thus, not OP.. Enjoy your game... that is all.
  • Isn't much point in trying to use real figures to figure out weapon range and travel time based off the speed of light in vacuum. That would be a nice touch of realism, but... All the weapons have a range of 10km in sto... which bugs the heck out of me.. considering contemporary missiles have a range thousands of Km's,…
  • Gee STO, where is the Klingon love, no mention of the passing of actor Michael Ansara, better know to us as Kang. I'm sure he died in glorious battle and is on his way to Sto-vo-kor. thanks for the memories. Quapla'
  • In answer to your question PW has it's favorite rules as well #10 and #211 (sorry, couldn't resist) -cheers
  • No way... not a chance... never... I'm sure some big rommie fans will go for it. I payed my LTS once.. you're not getting any more out of me... esp for a bunch of green ships and uniforms.. and a *gasp* Reman character. I'll play through the damn thing as a female tellarite pornstar in a Miranda, before I spend another…
  • The Galaxy has had more updates and tweeks then any other ship in STO, they have gone back so many times, just to add the "escape hatches" or the proper number of windows in the proper spots because of rabid fans. As for performance, it's a fat ugly (personally never liked the Galaxy class) bloated whale of a ship almost…
  • Oh golly, this question has only come up an been answered a billion zillion trillion times.... 1) Not enough time money to make 2 full factions in the beginning (poor decisions made by stupid people wearing smart looking suits). Klings were designed for PvP, which didn't work so they did their best to paste PvE designed…
  • Gecko answered this exact question on the latest UGC Podcast (and a lot of other burning questions it's well worth the listen). To sum up his answer: Working as intended. Beams have a much better range/damage efficiency then cannons, a much larger arc and it's a constant beam as opposed to a short burst. Cheers
  • Considering their are a slew of other threads complaining about how OP certain weapon, attack patterns, and vessels are, and this thread is about how OP defensive systems are. Things must be just about right.
  • If it's dropping you while loading maps it could have something to do with downloading game assets. I was dropped between maps a couple times when my connection was acting up. If you haven't already, I would suggest turning off on demand patching. Start the launcher and click options in the top right, check "disable…
  • It's pretty much the Omega torp on full spread.. but more powerful, I've done so many borg red alerts I know the timing and sequence of the Unimatrix attacks fairly well. They (the torps) are not invisible if your video card is up to task, and you can even outrun the barrage (and buy a few seconds) with evasive maneuvers.…
  • wha...... I just got used to the red!
  • What would those be? you can unlock almost anything with dil/c-points which don't cost a cent unless you want them too. same with boxes, keys and lobi. And Vet rewards do not count, unless you think fireworks. fancy hull material and clothing are an advantage, The Boff is cool and the 1000 day vessels are awesome, but you…
  • I can't think of any way to really shoehorn another class into the game. Rogue, Shaman, Jedi, Bounty Hunter... nothing works. I suppose the Doff System has already split each class into 2 divisions. Military/Security Eng/Ops Sci/Med. So they could follow that theme, but then your really just dividing the existing kit…
  • I second that, but not a whole new "set". MK XII Omega/Maco/KHG gear already looks sealed from the environment, it makes perfect sense given the extreme combat these suits are supposed to be for, The borg function happily in vacuum, so us borg fighting commandos should be prepared to fight them in vacuum. You get to keep…
  • Trek fan first, (that's 95% of it) and this is the only place to get a "fix" I went lifer early so it's all free now, might not be here if I had not. I enjoy MMO's I do get a lot of fun from the space/ground combat Nothing better to play right now. The gated grind just about did me in, left for months, stupidest system…
  • USS Death Blossom (yes, it's very un-starfleet) Chimera Destroyer: (Dbb, Omega torp, cannons/turrets) with CSV-3, TFS-3 and FAW-2 add in the Phaser Lotus, attack patterns, burn a weapon battery, and my alpha becomes a massive blast of AOE that obliterates just about everything around me. Just like the "Death Blossom"…
  • Thanks for posting your results. I don't always open boxes, but when I do: I like to have an idea of the actual outcomes. Just curious tho, and this is not the first time I've seen it commented on. Why do people dislike the "Dilithium Claims"? personally I love them, log on do 5 mins of work and make 3/4 of my daily refine…
  • exactly what kronplah78 said. Pretty straightforward to start, Max all your tac/weapon skills, eng skills that increase your power levels are good too. you'll probably want a boff trained in ApO as well. But.. Don't fall into the Dps Cruiser trap. Many people find it disapointing in the extreme. Most of them are now…
  • Agree 100% Any person can sit down and start shooting stuff.. takes a lot more effort and research to get good tho. Anyone can fly an escort, mount cannons, train boffs in CRF3 or whatever and get benefits and slots that go with it. but they are still unhappy. They hate Apa, they Hate Apo (even tho they can get this one).…
  • As a member of a tiny fleet with no desire to expand, I don't really care about any new "special projects" for Consulates or Starbases, and frankly I'm a little tired of all these giant "fleet/guild" resource sinks anyway. What I would like to see is a system like that for my own Starship! A resource sink I can get…
  • Actually if you choose the "wrong" answers they simply take 2-3 times as long to complete the task assigned, and as your under no actual time pressure (the level does not end suddenly, and the Tholians don't break down the door). Ent-C just sits waiting for you to power her up at your leisure, so yeah it's just an illusion…
  • O.o I am too =p but I try not to let it show too much! Trek is my first love. I can't believe the US DoD turned down the petition to build a Death Star! we really need one of those! un-freeking believable! I wonder if it comes in Red? Cheers
  • Heheh yeah Mine Trap leads to some interesting FF incidents! good fun tho, that's about all the FF sto needs.
  • To many Star Wars fans need picking on! we have enough nerd battles to rage about without turning on each other =)
  • Blame those who worship "Trinity" gameplay. Personally I don't care for the trinity and the way they shoehorned that model into STO does not work well. A Cruiser/Sci will never dish out dps in sto (no matter what happens in the shows). We don't really need tanks, and cruisers can't often tank anyway as they can never keep…
  • It's not just the Tholian red alerts, Happens all the time with the Borg too.
  • Hmmm. I guess it comes down to "Pay to Win" or "Pay to Play" If your silver and never spent a cent on STO you have no say here. Go enjoy the game as is. you would not even exist if it wasn't for F2P or P2W.. whatever you want to call it. People who DO invest money rightfully expect to get more out of a "free" game. A few…
  • I have a fleet of one (me). and I like it this way, most of the time. Now I know a "fleet project" is for a Fleet of people. I managed to get my starbase up to T2, and I continue to work at it (very long term project).. it's the Dilithium requirements that are killing me, Special projects are right out.. ok I can live with…
  • It's not your end and your not alone. STO's servers have been hiccuping and farting for a couple days now, a lot of people have been affected. They said it was sorted out a couple days ago.. but it's not. -cheers
