  • I've never done a single cannon build before. I might have to give it a shot.
  • I saw a couple of posts from people who liked the nova class–they really, really liked the nova. I had it when leveling and liked it quite a bit, but my fleet's shipyard is nowhere near getting the fleet nova, so I forgot about it. Until, that is, the mirror variant came out, which I picked up for cheap on the exchange a…
  • I'm working on the b'tran chain. I failed one of the assignments and now it's disappeared...I've read that it will show up again after some time and I can complete the chain, so I'm just waiting to do that. Once "Support B'Tran Cluster Colonization" is available, I have plenty of blue and purple doffs for that so a…
  • http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1008301 The download linked there is what I'm using.
  • It's so hard to pick, I like so many of them. Here's my best shot: Fed, non canon: Trident Class Deep Space Science Vessel. Its looks remind me of a classic car for some reason. Fed, canon: Akira class. It's too bad it was relegated to being in the background for the most part. KDF, non canon: I really the korath temporal…
  • Could you post your current build? It's difficult to say without know what you've got right now. And what's your career? The JHAS is the holy grail of escorts, it's definitely possible to build it into something that's insanely OP.
  • I was in the same boat as you (no pun intended) not too long ago. I pulled out my deep space science vessel and outfitted it with my best gear. Result = pure awesome. A tac captain in a sci vessel works great because you can hold people down grav well, tractor beam, target engines etc. and then destroy them with your…
  • I might just save my zen/dilithium/ec and get a c-store ship instead...that way, I can get more mileage out of it since I can use it on all my (romulan) account characters. If I get the temporal destroyer and it totally doesn't work for the character, I'm stuck with it...I can't use it on a different character that it…
  • ...Or, I could sell keys and get a Temporal Science Vessel. However, I know that's probably the most expensive thing you can get on the exchange, I haven't checked the prices recently
  • I'd also like to get my shields above 10k, which means another field generator console (which are wicked expensive), unless there's another way to do it I don't know about...
  • I have some fighters but I'm sworn to using runabouts; they've saved my hide many a time. 4 runabouts tractoring an enemy can give you time to run away or, if you have the advantage, beat them senseless.
  • I didn't know pets benefitted from consoles/doffs. I do have a shield drain doff I can use, I'll have to give that a try. I considered polarized disruptors but wasn't sure if they were worth it. I have some EC left over after I refit this guy so maybe I'll buy a few on the exchange.
  • Thanks for the feedback so far. I had TSS but I replaced it with science team because science team clears various debuffs and doesn't depend on aux power, which my ship has little of. Although it shares a cooldown with Tactical Team, I've found that it's not been a huge issue so far since I only use it as a last resort. I…
  • Great idea. I would love to see a Valentine Class (or at least a USS Valentine or something like that).
  • How about a screenshot or two of the problem?
  • I believe that's a cryptic issue. I had the authorization code sent just fine. I would contact their support and see if you can get that ironed out. As for the fullscreen thing, I believe it's under the wineskin options that it's forcing the app to run windowed...if you go into the resolution settings on wineskin by…
  • Well, I just went from having 100 Z to 1279 Z in about 4 days, so I think getting up to 5000 Z is more feasible than I thought.
  • Yeah, I really don't want to get just one, but it takes forever to grind out 5000 ZEN (even if you do purchase some...but I don't have $50 to drop on a game). I'm going to see how long it takes me to get to 2500 at current exchange rates, and if possible I'd like to get all 3. The 2 console bonus is a really good one...I…
  • Thanks for the advice so far, everyone. I'm leaning towards the engineer one since it has better tanking abilities, which is very attractive to me since I plan on doing eSTFS with it (once get high enough rep gear). The tactical one is also appealing too because of the console. Console-wise the science one seems the least…
  • I found the elachi missions to be challenging, to be sure, but I don't have a problem with it since they're...well...the elachi. They're supposed to be big, bad, evil enemies that are tough to beat. The shuttle mission was ridiculous though and needs to be toned down. Battle for New Romulus I think was suitably as huge,…
  • If it hasn't been suggested already, team up with a friend. My brother and I played through all the fed missions that way; sometimes it's easier to get past areas when you have two people instead of one. If you're stuck, try asking for help in a public area like earth space dock; there will usually be people willing to…
  • Yes. Personally, I love the new UI and haven't found any bugs with it (yet). From a graphic design standpoint I find it to be much cleaner and easier to use. And I don't miss the old Klingon UI at all. Orange colored names for allies always confused the heck out of me.
  • Also, the scorpion fighter looks pretty good, the main appeal being its singularity overload power.
  • I was thinking about the peregrine fighter. Also, are there any advantages to the stalker fighter besides the fact it looks cool?
  • Nothing to do with LoR per se. The login queue has reared its ugly head after just about every new season. That being said, LoR is awesome. Don't listen to the entitled haters, Cryptic rocks!
  • Recently, out of the blue, I get a black screen after launching the game. The only thing I can think to blame was maybe a recent patch or something...nothing has changed on my end. I've tried reinstalling the game to no avail. Is anyone else having a similar problem/know how to fix it?
  • Okay, this is weird: I've got 9 points in flow caps, I don't have the flow consoles in right now. I get something like -326.9 shields for tachyon each pulse, and -125 per pulse on the tractor beam. This is more inline with what I would expect it to be, and it performs as such. Here's the kicker though: it didn't do this…
  • It's been that way since the winter event I think. Pretty hilarious to watch, and it's gotten me out of many a bind levelling up my new captains.
  • And also, I think one of the reasons people get mad about bugs etc. Is the fact that they care about the game. If they hated the game they wouldn't play it. The fact that they're still here, even if they're complaining very vocally, shows that they want to see the game become the best that it can be. There's been patches…
  • Cryptic does a great job. I'm continually amazed at the fact that a smaller company like them can pull off an MMO with 2 million players. General consensus among the game Dev community (at least the ones I lurk on) is that you need to be a huge company to make any kind of mmo, and cryptic has proven otherwise.
