I can relate to the OP. I have been in the game for a few years now. The grind for the casual player is tough to rep up and get the gear fleet or rep, and I am by no means an expert on how to maximize my time to get what I need vs having fun. I like my fleet but sometimes I don't queue up with them because I'm not running…
I would be cool to see more npc ships in space maps, Vulcans, etc flying from sector to sector. I think there should be an option for Vulcan captains to fly a Vulcan ship for Vulcan Missions. Same for Orions. I think each Star Trek series had their bad episodes. TNG Episode 1 and others, Most of DS9,some of Voyager and yes…
I leveled up an alt(tac) to level 50 to get the Avenger. I purchased the Fleet version. I love it! Took it to starbase 234 and beat the starbase. This is on an alt with no rep gear, just regular gear. Not sure of the Cruiser Commands. I used the weapon one and it knocked down my power, says it will do so on the tool tip…
I had the same troubles and ended up using a keybind program from Federation Emergency Services: http://www.ifes.us/ <main site http://www.ifes.us/index.php/sto-utilities/sto-pvp/2013-03-21-13-23-43 <download It has a tutorial video built in to the program. VERY customizable. Makes it easy.
It would be nice if this rep model was adopted game wide. Nothing worse than than the grind to tier up then grind to get gear in that tier, then do that in multiple reps on multiple characters. Its too much.
I roll the set on my fed engineer and my kdf tac thru everything. Works great! I have the assimilated set and the other ones for a while but this set works best for me. I run them as a full set. But like with any set try it and see if it compliments your setup and your style. It's just one piece of your overall layout.
In the audio settings you can turn down npc voices. I don't remember which one but you can hover the mouse over it and there will be a description. I did this because Tovan Kev is long winded and wouldn't stop whining about Rinna.
I like it. No stfs, and you can transwarp all you want but it will still take 3 weeks to a month to find that way home etc. The path home can have you run into species good and bad and you have to find resources to survive. I would commit a character to this. I wouldn't want it to be easy either.
I experienced this yesterday. I took it as a challenge to survive! Nothing like warping into a system, coming out of warp into a mess. It was fun! I'm not setup for pvp, so it was extra challenging. Ill keep on doing it until I'm a survivor lol
I have 4, 2 fed 1 kdf and 1 rom. I only do rep on my main fed and kdf, mainly as an afterthought. If I look and I have enough marks and items to move it along ill do it but its a pain and I never liked grinding. Ill never do nukara.
I have an engie as my main and i used to fly escorts with the same luck. Im now leveling up a tac and trying an escort again. I ve been using combat impulse engines(efficient at lower speeds) and using reverse and 1/2 impulse to keep everything in the firing arc. Hopefully tuis will help me out on my other characters.Im…
I was invited to the beta, but I had a brainfart and I was doing it completely wrong: On my laptop and my PC I clicked on Create Content because I did not see the romulan crest on the Choose Your Character screen. I never click on that. When i realized what I was doing(creating a foundry character) I went back and clicked…
Also only for solo missions. Would be a good way to get rid of the enemy. Gotta have all of the prerequisites in place i.e. getting ready to die etc. I would also think it would have to result as an end of mission deal, cant respawn after you eject the warp core and it explodes. Enemy shouldve warped out after detecting…
tl:dr all pages.... but I would like to see as stated in another thread somewhere that if we take damage,instead of dying and respawning, we were able to repair also being able to eject the warp core would be cool.
True, but when I joined 3 years ago STO basically said you can run solo or with other people, I ran solo for a year before joining a fleet. The main page now still alludes to that. Now if your luck with pugs at endgame isnt the greatest and you havent found fellow members to team up with on a regular basis, solo can be the…
Believe it or not i still use my ghostbuster gun. The secondary has a chain effect. For Cure ground I use that and a nanopulse batleth, Ive used that to melee Armek a few times with success. Sometimes a antiproton pulsewave, and whatever engineer kit thats appropiate. Ive tried other weapons but those 3 seems to be the…
Ive melee'd Armek with a nanopulse batleth, as an engineer a few times. NOw I wouldnt melee all borg, but there is a time and place for it. Cure ground is one for me.
I think each series has its place. I didnt like most of TNG, they were too snobby,they didnt seem to get dirty, but there were a few episodes that were good stories. DS9 I really tried to get into but it didnt click for me, but as a trek fan there were a few good episodes. Voyager I watched every episode a few times and…
+1 on this! Through all of Trek you might be out of the fight but not for long with damage control teams. Then you could use some of the oh TRIBBLE powers like ep to engines, ramming speed(to get out of danger etc etc etc and repair but not be on elite(for those who play on normal mode). Or something like we do on ground…
I thought about that when I was typing it out, and I agree. It used to be annoying getting a ferengi lock box during a borg mission or any mission for that matter that didnt have ferengi's in it. But I finally accepted that the ferengi box, or whatever box was the flavor of the season, and it was everywhere, so my thinking…
I run the same way, my main is an engineer and I have never ran any aux2 anything. I think i have enough abilities coupled with shield/set bonuses to stay alive. If I die its because I wasnt paying attention. Ive always try to make my builds for dps/survive. I have oddys( i use the sci mainly) and the regent, mirror…
"Captain Spock, Captain Spock, space shuttle leaving in 15 minutes" sorry I couldnt resist, I love that movie! Back on topic, you are right, Ive ran into this with other items, purple doff reward but when I open it its a uncommon, twice now, filed a ticket to no avail. The info on the items should be what they state.

No autofire, but then I put the weps the spacebar, so that cleaned up my tray! Same deal with shield effects, but i thought it was just the way the ship was, so I disabled the visuals.
