  • It depends on the priority of each project it is easily possible to work on several projects at once but if one is deemed more important they will pool their resources to get it done. Most of your developers are already working on several projects at once not the whole project per se but each person is doing their part.…
  • Development doesn't really take that long anymore at the most it probably takes them a month. You have to remember its not just one developer working on it. While yes they have other projects going on as well its all fit into their schedule. What they do is break up the proposed content into sections ie like this…
  • The only power I lost with this revamp was shields and aux which is the way I want it. My weapon power was still the same as was my engine power. Yes, weapon damage seems to have taken a hit but not at the levels you are indicating. At the most I lost was about 100-150 per beam shot which adds up to about 1k less dps with…
  • I think this comes down to your playstyle to be honest. Yes, the JHAS frigates are nice but its not worth the cost to get them. I've found the Mobulai from the Narcine Aquatic Dreadnaught carrier are extremely hearty and if you like to tank they are really good to have. With pets you can't expect them to do all the work…
  • Any AP weapon would be really good preferably a split beam AP rifle will do the trick. Now for Borg if you want to minimize how many times you want remodulate make sure you choose two different weapon types. Split beam and a sniper rifle are a good way to go. I used this combination before my current one and it worked…
  • Very good point and this is what I gathered from my testing thus far I have taken a closer look at the revamp on Tribble and I compared it directly to the live version. From what I have gathered on other people's posts here on the forums I expected at least some form of nerfing. However, truth be told I did not expect to…
  • Ah, the dart in the sky. Before Vonph this was my favorite not just because of its layout but its design. Out of all the carriers that you can get this one is the sleekest looking. And the Mobius frigates are extremely tanky and pack a fairly serious punch. All in all if you have the credits get this carrier you will not…
  • You're kidding right one of my favorite classes Science was practically ruined because PVP complained it was OP. So your argument holds no water with me. Within one week after a certain thread everything was cut in half in terms of damage anything exotic particle and graviton took a major hit. This was a few years back but…
  • I will admit you have to make some sacrifices with this new system I know I had to but I also knew that going into this. However, I was able to get 6 science skills and still get my tac ultimate with plenty of engineering skills so I'm not sure what you did wrong. This skill revamp is going to rein some stuff in and…
  • These threads and the negativity about the new skill revamp are getting out of hand lately. Has anyone actually tried the new revamp on tribble I was quite surprised on how much I gained compared to the current system. All I'm saying before you criticize Cryptic's work on this new system actually try it out. While yes some…
  • I whole heartedly agree with this there is no ground it seems well any good ground. Sure we had the Voth Battlezone but its too easy now. We should have had an Iconian Battlezone on the map Blood of Ancients now that would have been some serious fun. I understand that Star Trek is about the ship mostly but you have to mix…
  • This is really fun to do I play a tactical career mostly but my ships are hardly tactical. It's interesting to see how well your build performs in different ships especially different career ships. Flying a sci vessel as tac can be extremely fun or it can be a test of your skills. Each ship specializes in a career and the…
  • I agree with Nephitis lets try to stay on topic too much hijacking going on lately. I don't think it is really a matter of do you want a skill revamp this is a need for this game. Skills in this game have always been something left to be desired in my eyes. The current system is you can get a partial skill with the new…
  • I think what we are seeing here is not people really being noobs but more of people being lazy. Many times my friend and me will play Khitomer on various difficulties and we will say, "We've got the right side the rest of you take the left." We do this in order to keep the power balanced between the two gates. So what…
  • When it comes to ships I like quite a few of them but only truly love a few. I have a few ships that are practical and a few that are impractical but look so cool that I couldn't pass them up. Yes, I'm a sucker for lockbox ships because most of them look the coolest. I have more ships than I thought I would ever own in…
  • Compared to other types of builds out there making a good sci build is pretty easy. First of all pick a stat that you feel would be appropriate for you and build on that with consoles and ship equipment. There are many good set bonuses out there but I still prefer to piece it together myself. Look carefully at engines,…
  • I looked at this list and while yes some of this stuff needs to be fixed as a programmer you have to look at it in terms of priority. None of these items seemed like major mission critical operations to me. Mission critical being game breaking things that actually cause the game to stop working or hang as well as broken…
  • While the Scimitar is good for the most part it could use some balancing in the agility department. This ship is massive and has a lot of mass compared to other ships out there. If I remember from the movie this thing was slow in terms of turning and overall inertia. So the base turn rate of 7 I think is a bit too high…
  • These threads about everything being so OP really need to stop its an MMO for crying out loud. DPS is the name of the game in every MMO. It's what wins the battles the higher the DPS the quicker you can move onto the next. With that out of the way FAW does not need to be nerfed it is functioning fine as it is. Your problem…
  • You apparently didn't get the idea that this was supposed to be an example to help him or her start thinking in the right direction. Yes, it's an expensive build but its also an extreme example too which is the best way to show what you can actually do in this game. So instead of coming into the forums and flaming other…
  • I think it's about time someone brought this to light. A consistent dps of 50-100k is just not possible with the game mechanics and this is because you are limited by firing rate. Have you also noticed how everyone uses Infected Space to measure their dps as well. When you measure dps in a team such as Infected Space…
  • I'm not sure why the sudden hate on DPSers and before you think I'm a DPS fanboy you're mistaken. Everything was adjusted to account for the new content when the cap was raised. They knew that NWS would become a farm because the rank of the weapons going to Mk 14 with upgrades to epic not because DPSers did it. I've been…
  • There was a time when this game was actually you know fun and not an endless grind. The game for me at this point has become a log in and log off type game. I remember when DOFF assignments first came out they were nice and was a good way to get experience while AFK. The problem is this game over the last few years has put…
  • Don't rely on Arc to launch the game I too have encountered this problem but I just launch through the executable now. Not really game breaking I've had these problems with Origin and Steam its bound to happen. Will it get fixed who knows but don't let that prevent you from playing STO. :D
  • This has been on going problem for me since two patches ago. However, mine only seems to frequently happen in sector space. I did try a new solution and that was to set it to auto instead of picking one or the other. Since yesterday's S10 update I have been able to roam sector space again. Before that it was every 5 to 10…
  • While it could be a video card failing double check a few things. What are you doing exactly when it crashes. Nvidia driver fault could be to blame. What hardware do you have are you running an SLI configuration? A lot of unknowns to try and help atm ;)
  • I have time warner road runner as well is there anyone else that has TWC could be an ISP thing.
  • Same here as well glad to see its not just me I changed some email stuff on it recently and thought it was maybe that.
  • You know that full impulse can't be used in combat ;)
