Slingshot maneuver? Reduce throttle, hold both mouse buttons and use the mouse as a direction pointer instead of trying to WASD it. If this were Elite, yeah, you'd have to throttle up - but STO isn't a spaceflight simulator. Mechanically, it's as bare as humanly possible, so while "reality logic" dictates that you should…

Actually, I spend almost the entire track sprinting. The key is to use the mouse to set the character's direction (hold RMB), and be ready with the roll keybind. Once you know the boundaries of the course, you can hug the edge and aim for the corners - you'll be able to sprint right through an entire segment, where someone…

Oh, I know. In light of the thread being derailed, though, I wanted to point out how moronic that entire argument sounds once you get rid of all the filler and look at the.... uh, 'substance'.... of it. ....and of course, I use the term 'substance' in a very loose fashion.

So just to TL;DR for the newcomers.... There's a vicious, toxic group of societal menaces who are actively hurting the game, abusing and victimizing its players by.... making their characters dance under disco balls. Are you lot Trekkies, or Arsenal fans? I can't really tell the difference any more.

In fairness to the OP, at least this parting shot is clear and civil. Small mercies and all that.

Not a fan of peer review, I take it?

YMMV on epic, but I suspect Royan just moved up a place on my "favourite toon" ranking.

To be fair, we've actually had the canonical Defiant interior available since early 2012. It's the Belfast interior in the DS9 Bundle Pack - along with the TNG-era admiral uniform, the Type-10 shuttlepod, and the Bajoran Vedek robes. Poor performance of the TOS and DS9 bundles has long been assumed as the reason why…

Put simply, Admiralty has nothing to do with your playable ships. It's really just a card game on the side. What happens is that when you first acquire a ship, you also acquire the Admiralty card for that ship class as a sort of bonus. After that there's no connection between ships and cards. Maintenance and assignments…

Admiralty doesn't reward playable ships, only ship cards for use in the Admiralty system.

The Bajoran star is classified as a G2V yellow dwarf. The Sol star is classified as a G2V yellow dwarf. Conclusion: Bajor's star has roughly the same radius, cirumference, volume, mass, density, gravity, temperature and luminosity as the Sol star. Earth's orbital distance ranges from approximately 146,000,000 kilometers to…

For what it's worth I view the Ha'nom as the second-best T5 science ship in the game, being on par with a fleet recon sci when you first get it, and that's before T5U and Fleet upgrades. But I'd totally endorse a new, sleeker, Vesta-esque warbird for them. The whole Science Hero trope is a hat tailored for Romulans.

I've seen players doing just fine with NX and Oberths. Playing ISE. At this point any talk about "better" or "powerful" is utterly ridiculous. If you're half-decent at builds, it is almost impossible to not get enough DPS to cakewalk everything (non-pvp) that the game has to offer, premium ships or not. We were buying…

Adding materials to the tailor is inflexible and a pain to change, though. For ground, that works because there are costume slots. For space, not so much. So, work it like this. * Dummy out 'Enable/Disable Visuals' option. * Give every Engine/Shield/Deflector in the game a 'Select <item> Visuals' option. (Apply to item…

They're missing for me, along with Fed Klingon (though I hadn't unlocked it). The entire 'Species' tab of the Z-Mart is also gone.... which pisses me off to no end since I just bought the Ferasan unlock two bloody days ago and hadn't rolled one yet. I'm no longer able to create Remans either.
-
There's no need for that, really. Two reasons. First reason is that once you have an Admiralty card, you keep it, even if you throw away the ship you got it from. They're basically just DOFFs by another name. Second reason is that there's a ship storage feature coming up, allowing you to mothball ships you're not currently…
-
If you're referring to Admiralty, it doesn't use the ships from your roster. When you unpack a ship, you're given an Admiralty card, and that's what the assignments use. Once you've got the card it's yours forever, whatever you do with the ship. Keeping lots of ships on the roster doesn't do anything new, and just clutters…

ESD, Quinn's office, Jiro Sugihara. Note that it is literally a KDF faction Nausicaan/Lethean/Orion. As far as Starfleet Klingons go, they have a similar problem to Remans - they mght randomly show up while levelling, but other than that, nothing.
-
That is in reference to the Kobali battle zone. Open PvE areas have always scaled to a fixed level, ever since Defera was first implemented. Episodes and instances have always scaled to the highest level member of the group and in all likelihood always will.

Simple answer? No. Matching a captain to a ship doesn't give any magic 'synergy' bonuses. A captain's career makes only one difference to space combat - the four or five career skills they bring to the table. While somewhat useful, these skills won't turn a bad build good. They're just a spoonful of sugar to sweeten the…

In my headcanon, the Ferasan built the Mat'ha - explaining why its default appearance is kind of jungle-y. Also in my headcanon, the Letheans built the Qib, hence its neon red trim. Because frankly Letheans need something to their name, and no one else wants to take the blame claim responsibility for the Qib anyway. My…

Just for the record, the entire Iconian Tinkerbell Jesus plot was datamined two weeks ago.

Apologies in advance for not actually addressing the matter at hand, but I wanted to chime in with something that I believe gamers need to start thinking about. I disagree that this is a case of "digital product" versus "physical product". It's more a wider argument about what we should define as a product, to begin with.…
