Wow that stinks. Really wanted an option to just be able to casually fire weapons at something for my demo videos. Are there any good story missions with such objects? Can't stand trying to demonstrate a beam or torpedo with an annoying NPC lighting up my shields and such. Wish the game would just let us "dry fire" our…

Make all cannons fire faster, period. Also up the turn rate of all ships by at least 2x. This is a STAR TREK game, and in the shows cannons fired FAST and ships (even huge ones) turned like attack choppers.

So no response from anyone at Cryptic? I mean I pay a LOT less for games for Xbox and such and that's with the expectation that they'll forever be playable on the machine I purchased it for. Am I just basically now priced out of a game I payed a massive amount for?
-
Again, in real life two people can share things, the fact that characters can't share things is insane. Account-bound I get, but character bound? They're all your characters and your items. I fail to see how balance would have anything to do with it, I mean most of us have one main and alts that grind for him/her anyway. I…

I disagree, I think that lifetime subs already have a lot of benefits that you can't get any other way. Removing at least SOME (like you said, maybe not all) of the character-bound restrictions as an extra benefit would be a really nice "thank you" to the folks who've dished out for it. I do also agree though that some…

So just real quick, how would I get a ship to become a combatant? I get that I have to make the contact disappear and then spawn an actual combatant, but can you use the costume editor to actually make particular ships to fight with? I don't remember being able to do that. I thought you could only choose combatants from…
-
except that I don't really have any friends who play STO. trust me, I've tried to get friends to get into it.
-
but the foundry only lets you pick "squadrons". I don't want to fight groups of enemy ships frantically, I want to select a specific ship (for instance Romulan D'Deridex or Klingon Vorcha) and just fight that one ship. I want to be able to take my time and use powers and study their effects and such, not button mashing…

That's super crummy but I guess I can understand the server load issue. Does seem like a simple way of doing it though would be to include, in one of the patches, a piece of code that allows the client-side software (the game installed on your hard drive) to run the AI for the simulator. I mean if there are no rewards for…

Gotcha. Thanks.
-
Ah, as of right now I've been mostly focusing on the Command and Pilot specializations (I absolutely need amazing turn rates and I really like being able to call in support cruisers often). Let me try to detail my cruiser build: - Exploration Cruiser (T6) - Fore Weapons: Elite Fleet Phaser Bank MKXIV CRTH DMGx2, Elite…

Interesting thing to note, I just switched back to my D'Kora that's got 3x epic quality forward phaser cannons (1 wide), kelvin torp launchers, a crystalline torpedo (aft) and a pulsed phaser array (aft) as well as the Kobali set and some epic quality phaser capacitors and torp damage multipliers...and HUGE difference.…
-
I just picked up some pulse phaser arrays from the exchange. Very cool. I like the effect, looks like Wrath of Kahn. Also, I'd never seen PEN as a modifier before, must only be on crafted items.
-
So are you saying that Fleet Advanced is better than Fleet Elite? Not sure what Aux2Bat, Drake, or Dragon is My character is an engineer, so obviously I could probably have higher DPS numbers if he were a tactical captain. Still, my little Plesh Brek (for its size and my relative lack of extreme fine tuning) is pretty…
-
So running torpedoes and beams (like in the show) is not the way to go? Then I don't want to go that way. I enjoy the game because it's Star Trek, making a pure beam boat or pure torpedo boat just isn't as fun because it's nowhere near canon. I am very interested in what you mentioned about "the way to manage to reduce…
-
yes, Mark XIV, that was a typo. very interested in these pulsed phasers you're telling me about. how are they acquired? also I will look at that Quantum Phase set oh, and do you know what item it is from the Terran set that allows more torpedoes per spread? thanks for the info! I will look you up in-game.
-
I was seriously disappointed when my 23rd century character ended up in the 25th century :( I would rather stay and play in the 23rd century for good.
-
ok. so how do I get an invite? do I just walk around spacedock asking to join a fleet or is there some place specific I should go? thanks.
-
So how do I go about joining a fleet, for instance yours?

always been a big fan of the TOS sashes

I have purchased zen many times and I have been registered on the forum for 11 months.

I have a few questions: 1. With the reputation system you can buy lots of gear once you hit Tier 5. I notice that lots of the gear says it's part of a "set". I can usually find the first "set" in the items I can purchase, but it usually lists a second and third set...but I can't find those items anywhere. Where are those…
-
I learned quick when I first started out that having a slow-turning ship and weapons with small firing arcs left me open to small craft (like fighters) that would normally be a one-shot-kill but I couldn't hit them so I'd spend 5 minutes trying to get a bead on one to finally kill it. Now I keep a single turret handy for…

I am terribly sorry to hijack your thread dude but I gotta do something. I've been registered for a year and it still won't let me create a new thread. I tried using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forums but I get a link to support that doesn't do anything when clicked. Can any moderator please help me out with…
