Nice. Is it limited to when I'm flying the Khitomer? Or do I only have to have commissioned one?
-
Would be upset about admiralty changes, buuuuuuut, I haven't been doing Admiralty because Cryptic's been procrastinating on a badly needed addition to the Admiralty system - an autofill.
-
Well TRIBBLE. Very good little story here, but once more it's something critical to the storyline that's, presumably, being relegated to a dev blog. I'm sure somebody has proposed this idea before, but...why not have these blogs posted in-game somewhere or in some form? Perhaps on completion of certain, related missions…

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE! I always got to DS9. I have no idea where Grym even is. I mean yeah I can find him, but the inconvenience...and the won't even let me PUNCH HIM for it!
-
Not sure if it will be of use, but I was able to accept the mission from Admiral Quinn as a Level 27 Starfleet Captain.
-
I'm hoping he's a Tac BOFF. Then I can give him Draw Fire III :D

Ignoring some of the information as it may have been correct at the time of posting (it isn't now), there's one big thing I think that speaks for how bad your idea of locking the new faction behind a Play-Wall is. The KDF. Before Legacy of Romulus you couldn't create a KDF character until you'd leveled a Federation…
-
So it sounds like the easiest way to start re-balancing torpedoes/making them good is to start reducing the amount that is flat out negated by shields and working from there.
-
I believe a developer once said they'd have to rebuild the game from the ground up to remove factions, something that they just don't have the time or money to do and that would take at least as much time as the conversion to F2P with no new content coming out. I think they also mentioned that they were looking into the…

Have we had any word on whether or not we'll be allying with Feds or KDF at some point yet? If so then it'll work exactly like the Romulans. If they haven't/if we won't be doing something like that we may finally be getting cross-faction fleets/armadas. ...like as not we're going to be choosing an ally faction from either…
-
Yeah. Here's hoping this new company doesn't fold.
-
They're both fairly good, but I like the lines of Alpha better, so that's what I voted for.
-
@Jexsamx I think you're being a bit too optimistic, much as I hate to be that way. Like as not we'll only get one T6 Vesta variant though we are almost certain to have a science three pack sometime in the (hopefully) near future. The .5 release for New Dawn most likely. Still you do make a good argument that the Vesta…
-
So reading this I just noticed there's no T5 "consolation" ship. Do you know if that's just for this lockbox or if it's going to be the thing moving forward?
-
I'm almost (99.99...%) certain that you can't claim them on characters with maxed inventory slots as that maximum number isn't arbitrary, but dictated by data storage and access restrictions set by the servers and the code. That being said, if you've got a few characters with maxed inventory slots then you could try and…

These shields have a lower innate regen, each weapon fires several times during its cycle, most ships will mount between five and eight energy weapons, and increased damage causes increased threat regen. Outside of very specific builds I could easily see Shield Capacitance Bleed being a huge liability.
-
I went with option C, but in all honesty the old rotating hourly event schedule kind of sucked. Bringing it back in addition to the current weekend event rotation would simply give me some kind of option for doing something when I log in, get my DOFFing or whatever done and still want to play, but don't really have…
-
The Iconian 2-piece is actually more potent than you'd think in my experience. I dismissed it much like you did (picked up the first two pieces for their disable counters) but in practice the healing was actually quite noticeable. Of course it could be because I have points in Starship Shield Emitters. Otoh the shield…
-
Personally I've found it very much to my liking even though I don't run ships with pets most of the time. For a Tactical captain running Tactical focused ships it's not going to be too terribly impressive, but for a Cruiser or Science ship driver that passed up the Attack Patterns skill because you had better places to…
-
Cryptic can really do some sexy, sexy environment can't it? I wonder if that's some of Taco's work?
-
Yeah, if you want to betray the Empire and dishonor yourself by spying you should be able to wear the Section 31 Uniform with pride regardless of your stated affiliation! Sorry, couldn't resist. I know your pain, but the Klingons and Romulans just don't have as many paid costume options as the Federation (actually they…

Another idea to get people to play queues more is to give the queues a massive XP boost - like 3.5x to 5x for Normals, & 7x to 10x for Advanced & Elite. The current XP payouts are pitiful. Kill XP in queues is, last I checked, lower than in solo play and you actually get less XP for completion of a queue than you do for…
-
Apparently I wasn't quite as clear as I'd hoped. I'm thinking that optionals should be abolished and the queues redesigned so that they no longer have "optional" objectives and instead are pass/fail with all rewards being given when the win conditions are met and none being given when the lose conditions are met. This is…
-
Sarcasmdetector, I find myself strongly disagreeing with your desire to see the crafting mats and elite marks locked behind the optionals in the Advanced queues. While your grievance with those who do the bare minimum of one ship/point in queues like Azure Nebula is legitimate your proposed reaction is way out of…

The reason we don't have a T5-6 Connie is the same reason the model never appeared in TNG. It's too iconic in the minds of CBS. It is the definitive hero ship in Star Trek that everyone recognizes. That was the reasoning they had for not having it appear on-screen in TNG or DS9. It's also the reasoning they used to deny a…
-
While I would think that Iconian Red Alerts would be a pretty neat thing, I think there might be some kind of technical hurdle involved as, despite the Devs best efforts, the Red Alerts have been plagued with bugs since their inception. However the criticism that the Iconian War is kind of not living up to the hype is…

That was actually something I was wondering about as this seems like a way to possibly find fleets for our non-Ferasan characters that can still be associated with FSF...but I'm not sure there would be any realy support for such a thing even if it was decided that such a thing would be allowed with the Armada system.
