I doubt this will get seen because it doesn't fit in the neat little parameters set by the Devs, but for me, the answer is simple. Fix. The. Bugs. Your story telling and art has come a very, very long way since launch and I applaud that. That said, there are certain bugs that make this game nearly unplayable. I recently…
No, and I never claimed that it did. Better players took me under their wing and taught me how to the game's mechanics work and how to build ships to maximize your potential within the confines of that system. However, there is an indisputable fact that you're going to have to live with. Lets take a T5-U FGalaxy and build…
There's your problem. You can quit right there. I'm not trying to be flipant. I'm trying to be honest. Based on the testing I and my fleetmates have done, Advanced queues require 15k DPS and Elite requires 25k+ DPS just to carry your weight and not be a detriment to the team. The vast and overwhelming majority of players…
There could be lots of factors. As mentioned, it could be lag, it could be server not responding issues, it could be complete disconnects. But, I also agree that it could be greifers or people that are simply frustrated. I've been known to warp out without offering explanation before. Here's how it works out: I'll create a…
Unorganized, normal, queued PvP is going to be an exercise in frustration. Here's my advice. #1: Ask for this thread to be moved to the PvP section or start a new thread in the PvP section. #2: Go to the recruitment/fleet section and look up some of the fleets that specialize in organized, or tournament, PvP. That's where…
There's your answer right there. The mirror event leans heavily on a random number generator. You simply can not reliably test something in there because it is...random. Trying to do so is ludicrous. But, Argala and ISA are much more predictable, repeatable, and verifiable. I'd certainly give ISA the edge on testing over…
Here's the whole deal in a nutshell. Have fun, but accept your limitations whether they be imposed by the game or your own choices. If you want to run a canon build, I say go for it. More power to you. But, accept the limitation that you're not going to be able to travel in high DPS circles. A year or so ago, I was in a…
No, you're looking for us to confirm a feeling. You have no data. Since you have no data, you have no claim. "Feeling" doesn't cut it because you were probably in different teams, in different maps, in different situations. There are to many variables at play to determine whether or not it's the shield, you, team, or…
Way to miss the point. No, it's not very smart for an Engineer to take an Escort into PvP. That is on you for making a bad choice. In PvP, an Engineer's role is tanking/team support. The end. Full stop. If you're unable or unwilling to fill that role, roll a Tac. As you're aware, PvP is a totally different entity from PvE.…
I'm seeing a lot of upset, but poorly setup Engineers. You can't go by "feel" and you can't go by tooltips. You need hard numbers, objective numbers, from multiple parses to evaluate how you play the game. I've experimented with Drake, Dragon, and A2B builds in Cruisers. Sure, I can do 40k DPS in my Rom Tac with a…
You can't take away something that someone has already earned. I have a major problem with anyone that advocates taking away rank and titles players already have. So, we're stuck with a bunch of Flag Officers. I too think "rank" should have been disassociated with Level. But, that fight is over. The question now is how do…
There is in-game precedent. Rear Admiral, Lower Half (RDML) is Lvl 40, Rear Admiral, Upper Half (RADM) is Lvl 45, and Vice Admiral (VADM) is Lvl 50. So, it would only make sense to make Admiral (ADM) Lvl 55 and Fleet Admiral (FADM) Lvl 60.
No, I assure you we know how to play. I have 20 each of all three types of Regenerators. I can't get them to to work by double clicking them in my inventory or by going through the normal menu and clicking the red "Injured" button. I assure you I'm quite tired of hearing, "Heal your injuries!" in PUGs only to try to…
Rule #1: It's just a game. It's all about fun. If you're having fun, you're doing it right. But, with that said, I'd be upset if I entered a PuG STF and saw someone in a Tier 2 ship. ICE (ISE) isn't a good example to use, either. I was part of a four-man team that beat it and got the optional just last night. I'm glad that…
I flew my Galaxy-X loyally from the day it became available on the C-Store (Nearly three years ago) until I had access to Fleet Cruisers. I have more hull hit points, more shield hit points, a faster turning rate, higher speed, more defense, a better BOFF layout, a better console layout, and double the Cruiser Comm Array…
The DS9 uniform, yesterday's freebie, included the TNG split bottom pants that have been bugged for over a month. Today's Command Tunic freebie specifically mentions that boots are included. Except that the "soft boots" have been bugged for 3+ months. So, thanks for giving me broken items!
The "Soft Boots" have been bugged (or just eliminated) for nearly three months despite having bought them twice (TOS Uniform Pack and then the whole TOS Bundle). I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on the split bottoms. Oh, and even the "free" item you're giving away today is bugged! The C-Store description for the Command…
This It's the final version of TNG's Admiral's Uniform. The way I've seen the story play out on screen through the movies and DS9 is that the TNG Season 3+ Uniform stayed in service as a Service Uniform and the First Contact/DS9 uniform was more of a working uniform. I would like for my Admiral to have the TNG uniform for…
They've been broken since May. Doing a search, I've counted over a dozen threads with zero response to this question. I know you guys have bigger fish to fry, but a simple acknowledgement of, "We've added it to the whiteboard" would be nice.
