  • That is EXACTLY my point. People dont feel encouraged making different builds due to console limitations, T6 ship click consoles have a long cooldown or are strict to a few ships only. Its much easier simply stack passive damage/power boost consoles and Fire-at-Will everything. But I feel if consoles were made more…
  • Yes, that is one of the biggest problems I pointed out. As you mentioned, it takes a lot investment for some sets, some require multiple ships, and then the consoles are restricted to these ships alone. Its a lot resources, lots of console slots, for 2 minutes long cooldowns bound to a single ship or ship family. I cant…
  • Yes, I honestly think most players would enjoy being able to pick console from restricted ships and place them into their favorite ships. And you are right, the game doesnt push players into avoiding damage, escaping situations, supporting other ships caught into holds, etc.. making defensive/support consoles very…
  • Yeah, lets say you like those consoles, but you enjoy playing a support Carrier or a Voth ship, a massive Dreadnought or anything else but those Dyson ships. You cant, there is no room for creativity like this. You have to play as its designed to be. Out of 200 available ships in the game, you can only use those consoles…
  • Its great a few people still use the Dyson Ships, of course its viable, but thats not the point. The problem is the lack of reason/incentive to use old ships and consoles due to long cooldowns or ship restrictions and how those limitations affect the players creativity, making them focus almost exclusively in DPS DPS DPS…
  • Exactly, but dont forget the massive waves of enemies. STO is all about single ships dealing massive damage to hundreds of enemy ships at once, they work so hard to keep reference to ST universe and yet the game play style is absurd.
  • Yeah, Im also tired of it. Even with all inflated NPC HP you can still see solo ships melting through Adv or Elite TFO. There is no teamwork, no challenge, no FUN. The classic example are those Vaadwaur ships that solo melt any Adv or Elite TFO, whenever I join a team and there is one of those dreadnoughts I know its gonna…
  • The problem on exclusive consoles is that they have a short lifespam, they become less used as new ships come around. How many T5-U ships you actually see these days? Some amazing consoles are no longer seen because they are bound to old vessels nobody cares about. Why have content in the game nobody uses? Why have ships…
  • I wouldnt like to see that, not everything need to give damage boost or power boost, I belive consoles can useful thing on their own, the Barrier Generator and Substace Jumper for example, they are good on their own, but 2 - 3 minutes cooldwn is absurd, they are situational and defensive. They should work like a trade, you…
  • Yes, I have to agree with that, why on Earth are we getting Baseball outfits in a summer event?! Every single MMO in the market makes themed costumes for this season, its ridiculous we get Baseball outfits. Its not even a popular sport around the World, not even the most popular sport in the US as far as I know.
  • Yes, also, ground should have loadouts too!
  • I have been playing Atmospheric assault a lot lately.. I made a quite fun shuttle build using some fun cooldown consoles and weapon set bonus powers. Its a lot more fun than regular space stfs. As I keep saying, the fun factor is this game is dead, the shuttle is just another example of the reason behind it, DPS race. You…
  • Take the Zen T3 universal ship console, called Barrier Field Generator for example. It is a 2 mins cooldown console that only does create a force field (about the side of the Tholian web) for 15 seconds.. and THATS IT! No passive bonus, nothing, just a console that creates a physical shield for 15 seconds every 2 minutes!…
  • I decided to play a PvP match the other day, something I rarely do in these 6 years I play the game. Someone wiped my ship in a eyeblink, I didnt even have the time to hit a button. I have 20K shields and 85K hull, my ship is entirely build around resistance, shield strength, shield heal/regen, basically a support ship…
  • If they did I honestly cant see the difference.. ground used to be very balanced, but now it feels like space with legs. I havent been active for the past 2 years, so Im not aware of this DPS drop, but I've been playing regularely for the past 3 months and honestly.. still feels like old times. But it was ground that was…
  • This update is much longer than the others, are they changing the graphic engine so desktop games can see all those visual improvements they made for console players?
  • Good to know, I was worried we would not see those changes, thank you.
  • Yeah, I would love to see some variety into the ships. Ships with more than 2 hangars, weapons that are so powerful and different they need more than one weapon slot, etc.. About the Jupiter.. Too bad its not an alien cross faction ship. I was hoping the new carrier wouldnt belong to any of the factions, the alien ships…
  • Thank you GMs for contacting me. I guess that will be just a matter of time until its sorted, dont let griefers ruin your game!
  • What are you doing exactly to make the game any better? The twelve years old here seems to be you, for missing the point. For years griefers have roamed free this game, because Cryptic cant see the problem they cause. Im making this noise to show them its a serius matter and a lot of people have gone through this, worse of…
  • Pointing out serious issues is flaming where? Did you actually read the 3 pages and all points people made until now, or just replied? Its open because the problem is still going on. Im still being spammed with private fleet invitation requests from a bot. If Cryptic has the manpower to do something, they should track my…
  • Just because they have private matches and fleets (like every other game) they should do nothing about griefers and let them ruin the game? Griefers add -nothing- but problems to the game/community, its actually a serious issue and very few people (apparently Cryptic isnt aware of that either) can see it. If I had that…
  • Cross your arms and dont do anything if you must, you are accomplishing a LOT to the World around you, heh! Trying to make things RIGHT is being a "angry emo"? You will accomplish a lot in your life with this mentality, thats a good idea, lets just sit and wait for Divine intervention to fix whats wrong!
  • Opening in game tickets accomplishes what exactly? Nothing, and you too know this sad reality. We are all aware of the lack of in-game moderation. I couldnt care less if griefers are reading or not, what would they be laughing at exactly? Their pathetic lifes of online thugging? lol. I'll never see this griefer and he…
  • Some things posted here are surprising, people cant play stos because of griefers, people have to set their privacy preferences to recluse so they are not spammed by griefers, people are even afraid to report and confront them. Is that what you want for your game? Obviously not. Cryptic, do you realize now what your lack…
  • You are right, for too long this game has been in the hands of griefers, I remember a long time ago I had similar problems with a member of a known griefers only Fleet. When I told my friends and fleet members about my desire to contact that fleet owner, to report this member behavior, they said it was a waste of time.…
  • simply ignoring doesnt prevent them from spamming Private Challenges, you actually have to go in your Privacity settings and choose a option that only allows Private Challange requests from Friends or Fleet members.
  • I removed the name tag as suggested, just because someone is doing it wrong is not a reason I also take the wrong actitude, thanks for the advices everyone.
  • Thanks taylor, but I will NOT remove the name on my post, specially because Im being attacked by this griefer at this very moment! Im being spammed by Private Challanges requests by a unknown player, which I cant find on search. Not to mention all the channel invitations were somehow automatically accepted, I have a list…
