Thanks duncan. I shall look into that next time I am able to log into STO. (Bloody Login2-3 issues again.) Though last I tried Risa was a bit low, but definitely bearable.
-
I believe I have found the issue. For one, I wasn't aware that certain Delta Quadrant systems lag horribly. Also I disabled the Xbox app's streaming/recording ability for STO. (Windows 10 only) Doing these two things my game returned to a playable FPS in most places. Others still lag for no obvious reason. ESD for example…
-
I dont really want the Temporal Science ship to be honest. I hear its very good, but I have the 3pack Vesta for my sci. (Yeah yeah.. another bunch of $$ that could have gotten me the ship(s)) As far as the D'kora, I just like the ship. Before my Avenger I flew an Odyssey. Before my Odyssey I flew a Galaxy X. My favorite…

@erei1 & nccmark & mrspidey2 As I previously stated (in the OP infact) "in my past ignorance." As in, before I learned. I understand why you are opposed to someone being 'generous' enough to help me, and again I didn't come here expecting to get anything. I said countless lock boxes because I don't remember how many it…
-
Thankyou all for constructive responces. I didn't expect to get a ship from the post really, but it was/is a hope. I suppose I will try again with the Exchange and such.

In my opinion the "Excalibur" class in STO should be the Excalibur in Bridge Commander. Img; http://www.starbase400.org/avalon/83418_5.jpg I know it's not canon, but neither is the "Excalibur" in STO.
-
At the risk of being assassinated; I'm no game-expert, and I don't know what the stats are for most of the KDF ships. What I do know is that on my C-Store Avenger (as in non fleet) if I use my GalX cloaking device, the mediocre overall damage boost I will get will be vastly outweighed by the massive damage resistance loss…
-
I run beams on my Mirror Prometheus, and it works quite well. Granted, I'm not doing 20k+ DPS or what have you. I don't run Aux2Bat or anything. I do more than enough (1500-2500 non crit, without FAW) damage per hit to take on nearly any PvE enemy and destroy it in a reasonable amount of time. Infact, I've been wanting to…
-
I think not. I have tried cannons on both my Avenger and the Prometheus. There is currently a bug/glitch/some kind of broken that is causing my 2000 DPH cannons to hit for 50-200 damage. Until that gets fixed, I will not be using cannons on anything. In any form. :(
-
I see your point. Just that I have seen many players running beams, and doing what seems to be large amounts of DPS.. without the use (or without the sole use) of BFAW. I was hoping that one or more of that kind of setup is actually worth it/better that what I have.
-
Again, I'm not really fond of relying on FAW for my damage. I enjoy doing bombing runs with my Dyson torp, especially when they hit upwards of 60k damage when they crit. I only have FAW at the moment to help soften groups of enemies for a TS3 honestly. Most situations I find myself in require more precise attacks. (Killing…
-
For the moment, (until I move out of the Mirror Prometheus) I am stuck with 3 weapon consoles. When my fleet hits T4 shipyard in about 10 days I will be using the Fleet Avenger and Aquarius. I honestly don't think BFAW2 is going to up my DPS enough to overcome the loss of a torp that crits above 60k, and FAW is…
-
If your talking about my post, read again. :) Set pieces would be returned after the project is done. Or, returned after they are "contributed."
-
Personally I love the TCD. (Tricobalt Device) With HY2 or 3 it does ludicrous damage to hull, and decent damage to shields of NPCs. I have watched as my TCDs have crit' for well over 70k damage on things like the Borg Tactical Cube at the end of Conduit Elite. The downside is yes, they are slow.. and yes, they are easy to…
-
Hmm, your results point to a more specific problem than a "simple" drop off bug. Perhaps the other person was on to something with the skills/abilities/some other factors being the bugged area. Next time I'm online I will look into it, and see if I can generate a reasonable answer. At exactly 5.1km for me, I am averaging…
-
*pokes head in* I am a PvEer of sorts, in that I almost never PvP outside of casual ones with my fleet. This is because, being the averageish player I seem to be, I usually get my ship blown into space dust with the quickness in open PvP. I can't be bothered with macros or 250milion EC ship builds. I dance through Omega…
-
I'm glad you brought that up actually, because it goes to show how unobservant some people seem to be. I saw a Scimitar cannon ship doing this, ~6.5km from a cube, plinking away all alone. I noted to him that he seemed to be doing less damage to said cube than I was, though I am using a 5 beam, 2 torp "destroyer" build on…
-
I use both DC and DHC, my Federation character having Phasers, Roumlan with Plasma. Though I have seen in PvE mission the same pattern apply to players of all factions and weapon energy type. I'm not one to cry wolf, but this time it simply isn't me.
-
My $.2; I would love to have this option, though changed slightly. We already have the costume rep projects for ground gear. (Omega, MACO, Adapted MACO/Honor Guard) So, following that line of thinking.. do exactly the same thing as that for ships and reputation sets. The same system could then be tweaked so non rep sets…
-
Are you sure? Perhaps your always within 5km of your targets? You seem to know what I'm on about. I don't usually fly escorts, but I would love to be able to use cannons on my Avenger. I tested it today with my Ar'kif, there is definitely some kind of shenanigan going on. At .blank range I was hitting for between 2k and…
-
Well, I suppose EngTeam would work with a 15sec cooldown. However, I currently have ~2.5 million EC and I don't have the wherewithall to put that in the double digits in a timely manor. Doffs are incredibly expensive from what I've seen, and to be totally honest.. I'm not all that interested in a Aux2Bat build. I've seen…
-
Questions? One. I dont use Eng team. Tac team is more useful to me, and Aux2SIF keeps me alive just as good anyway due to the 15 sec cooldown. Where would it go in there? Also, I don't have Leech. Edit; Nor do i have the millions of EC required to purchase XII Purple phaser relays. else i would already have them. Just a…
-
As it turns out, I have an "extra" tactical boff with TacTeam FAW & ATB so I will try that. Though, I have used this on a Mirror Prometheus and an Oddy, to limited effect. My Energy Weps Spec. is 0 atm, so that most likely had something to do with it. Once I respec perhaps I will get a better effect. Edit: Also, I only…
-
Thanks for the response! My boff layout is temporary, it is a hold-over from my Galaxy X support build. I want to see if my setup is worth the effort before I commit to changing my boff powers. (Again lol) As for the Quantum torp.. My idea behind having the TCD and Quantum tandom as such is the Quantums are for…
-
Hello. I usually just lurk around watching everyone argue.. I mean talk among themthemselves, but this time I figured I would put my 2c in. I am a FED player through and through. All of the starships in canon that I like are Federation or Romulan, so thats what I have. I did have a KDF once, perhaps I will again.. but I…
