Actually, I like this idea. Perhaps a ground BZ based on the "Mirror" version of Bajor for Terran and Temporal marks? (I know the map is currently just the old Bajor, but at night, but they could make the map bigger without to much difficulty) And maybe a BZ based on the Kentari home world mission - expand on the "urban…

1) I didn't say lvl 50, I specifically said lvl 65, at which the level scaling is, without any doubt whatsoever borked. 2) So ... in other words - spend months upon months "grinding" = Again NOT "new' player, or even alt, friendly in any way, and not the "easy mode" that so many seem to claim whenever one of these posts…

Yes I know ... I was there. But, have you looked at a calendar lately? Nimbus III is now one of the oldest maps, I never said it was the oldest. My point being, that Cryptic are capable of creating huge maps with hundreds (thousands?) of respawning mobs, which allow full away teams, so you cannot use "game engine" or "game…

The "problem" of the borked (borc'd?) damage scaling, I think is caused by players such as seaofsorrows. Now, I'm not "blaming" or "shaming", please believe I am not in any way wishing to offend the 'elite' players, quite the contrary, I respect most of them for their skill, and for their willingness to help others, but…

What's amusing, is that one of the oldest maps in the game, with Hundreds of respawning "trash" mobs, and a MASSIVE gameplay area, seems quite able to handle any number of players with 4 boffs - That being Nimbus III.

Aye, Polarize Hull, or a good cooldown buff on Evasive is essential these days, as soooo many enemies now seem to want to (and, perhaps unfairly, seem able to) spam tractor beams. But the zero CD TS with each torp doing 25-35k dmg and 100% shield pen, is ... very irritating. Unless you are really lucky on your ability…
-
No,the Op is quite correct. The damage scaling, particularity for "kinetic" damage, such as Torpedo's and WCB's is just plain FUBAR. I minute you can be happily "tanking" the 8k torps, then suddenly the enemy is throwing 35k+ non-crit torps at you with 100% perfect shield penetration, and 0 sec cooldown. And no it is NOT…

Nope, they also used to appear with the Summer Event, and although I've never been able to play during QWW, before this year, I'm assuming they also has the dancing Gorn for that in the past. I'd have at least expected some dancing "Tortured Elf" companions, if for no other reason than they are the "new" pet this year. I…

TBH I can't even see the "exclusivity" thing as being valid, as we've already seen, they are not only giving away pretty much everything that was/is in any way "exclusive" (i.e cross faction "crates" with opposite faction 'exclusive' consoles/gear) But also with "event" items in the PPP and Inf. LB (I wonder how shrunken…
-
The question is the ... "why" are you opposed to people getting older ship account unlocks? How does it harm you in any way? How does it benefit anyone in any way to restrict them? What exactly does it matter if I spend the next 25+ days "grinding" to get a Breen ship or the Fek'ugly ship? And finally, I find it very sad…

^^This +1000

I "think" that perhaps they were implying that the Vaadwaur were similar to Romulans or non-logic-ified Vulcans in that they were/are a very arrogant, proud, intelligent and (perhaps excessively) Xenophobic/Ethnocentric species and not averse to conquering/enslaving what they considered "lesser" species, though not…
-
Is it fair that new players, or those that for R/L reasons aren't able to do the entire event are "punished" by loosing all access to older event rewards? I, like many players have multiple alts, and would gladly run events on all of them, if each one could slot a different reward, but as the system is currently set up, I…
-
Have to sadly echo the theme here ... Ship looks cool and all, and the trait sounds interesting, (my SciRom would probably love this ship) but as it comes from an even worse "gamble box" than normal lockboxes, I'll have to skip it.
-
Crytpic looses because I am not spending "dilithium" to speed up the crafting process or to make the "Very Rare" components, (which is the one commodity (because of the dil exchange) they really don't want us to have a lot of, or spending 9000 hours logged in to the game upgrading the crafting school. The 'bots' are the…
-
Lol, I actually had one like that myself. Got spawned in, just as T'Kuvma was making his final couple of speeches, then 'bingo' mission complete :smile: Still got the daily commendation too :wink:
-
I guess it's this forums equivalent of a TV show sensor "beeping" out naughty words. So now it's just easier to use TRIBBLE and people get the idea. Maybe that means that eventually even "TRIBBLE" will be considered a "profanity" as people now automatically assign a "naughty" meaning to it. BTT: I don't understand the hate…
-
Was just now thinking almost the exact same thing. How about fitting/retrofitting Carriers with a new Deck Officer/*** seat? Sci Carriers could get Sci/DO seat etc. and maybe have full Carriers (i.e 2 hangar bays) have 2 ***/DO seats and FDC's and the like (i.e ships with only 1 hangar bay) get 1 ***/DO seat. The nyou…

Would love to see what the Borg deflector looks like on the front of a BoP or the Marquis Raider :D
-
Even if they made an account wide Dil "ore" repository, that would help. Keep the 'per toon' 8K refining limit, but allow all your toons access to one unified "Dil ore bank". Some of my toons have more Dil ore than they could refine in 10 years, while others (mainly newer alts or "farming" alts) who have virtually none. It…
-
I noticed this same thing. Several runs, I've had to stop and GW the enemies away (particularly the Sarco) then fly in and rescue the pods myself. <sigh> Usually when there are several players in Escorts flipping around the screen like deranged mosquito's (and probably making engine sounds and tyre screeching noises,…

Under "personnel" in the C-Store -> Look at the top of the screen, you'll see multiple "tabs" for different variations of purchasable personnel, one of which has the Horta.
-
AMEN!!! I'm only "grinding" to Tier 6 reps on one toon - simply to get the gear discount for the account - But none of my other toons will even do half the reps (and then only to Tier 5), because of the click, click, click, the 20hr CD, and the sheer drudgery of "the grind". So Cryptic looses a dil sink there. If Rep Marks…
-
And the Reman shield visuals? Don't get much more of a dramatic change in appearance from any other shield in the game. Also the Lukari, the Breen and the Jem-H. The older rep/mission pieces seemed to make a much bigger change than newer shields, that's ferr shure.
-
Many of these things are already in the game, just under different names/guises. The Obelisk Space set for instance has the buff that applies to your pets a "weaker" version of certain BoFF abilities. Then there is the "level" ability you can choose after putting x amount of points into Tac/Sci/Eng. And finally the buff's…

The how come I can run 3 Omni Polaron weapons on the back of a ship?
-
I just wish the TRIBBLES would stop using Gravity Wells, right in the middle of the escape pods! (It's either GW's or the Gravimetric Torp) Either way, the WCB's do more damage than the BoP's that spawn around the pods (that and the TRIBBLES who aggro Battleships or the Sarco, and "drag" them over to the escape pods) <sigh>
-
Yeah, Plasma needs some love. We can at least now use the 8472 console with Plasma, but the other part of the set (the counter command console mission reward) hasn't been updated to reflect this (obviously because you need to have unlocked Tier 6 to get access to Plasma - But they could have a Lobi/Dil/Rep project that…
-
Hmmm, a little bit light on Science consoles for my current alt, but she just might be able to work around that with the right combination of consoles ... The one thing that really, REALLY makes my left eye twitch is ... "fire" damage ... in space?!?!?!? yep, there goes my left eye again. That would definetly raise Spock's…
-
Your basic composition is ok - I normally run number 1 as a Sci "Nursemaid" with heals, plus Tricorder Scan for debuff's. Number 2 is an Eng "constructorbot" with at least one Shield Recharge and a turret + Shield generator (good for places like Dyson and Kobali ground, where you only have 2 BoFF's ) Number 3 is a Sci…
