  • Story contest submission Few places were as disconnected, and chaotic as the delta quadrant. Far from any reigning power, the distant corners of the delta quadrant held thousands of isolated and seemingly barbaric worlds, wrapped deeply in superstition and beliefs. The traveler had tried many times on their voyage to teach…
  • If i may be so bold as to introduce my lovely companion for the Starship barbie contest the Nightfire~ If allowed, i've also been mulling over a story to contribute as well. =D
  • i consider myself a pretty good engineer captain. and compared to a fleetmate who runs tactical, i dont come close in damage. then again, i dont sacrifice everything for that last .01% damage either, i tended to play for fun not for numbers. that said an excellent tactical will do unbelievable amount of damage especially…
  • wow, from what i've read that's even more disappointing then i originally feared. wow. difficulty in the STFs is nice, but cryptic seriously needs to relearn how to apply rewards to things. they appear to be having some difficulty understanding how things need to progress. and i pity their lack of understanding. having…
  • depending on price, i may upgrade either my multivector or my guramba. not like i play STO much anymore. kinda gotten sick of this sort of ploy to squeeze money out of the community. i will not upgrade any of my other ships. there's no point. when i do play, i do just fine with substandard gear. cryptic doesnt have a…
  • the whole idea of spending cash shop money to upgrade a ship is ridiculous. till now,someone who didnt want to spend any money at all, could have an acceptable T5 endgame ship. when you get to level 40, the free ship is fine for most content in the game, especially once it's fully outfitted with MK12. now some of us,…
  • I figured this was the game jeri ryan was talking about when she said she'll be working on a star trek game this fall. (talked to her briefly at dragoncon). interesting to have neelix here. anyone else wonder if he'll be as annoying as in the show? just imagine him constantly hailing you telling you how to do your job....…
  • it would end up being THIS weekend wouldnt it? :/ i have dragoncon from thursday till sunday. and no guaranty of internet in my hotel. that said, free stuff is nice.
  • anyone remember the last 1 year grind? the fleet system? boy, wasnt that a fulfilling system. when it was released it sounded so great, the potential for fleet-vs-fleet PVP, custom bases ripe with RP potential, a bunch of endgame gear, at least 5 new PVE queued missions, and the promise of all sorts of new things coming.…
  • the cross faction thing has always been a slap to the KDF. just about all their low teir console are cool and helpful. subspace jumper? great for tight situations or for nabbing a slightly faster escort. leech is of course useful for almost any build, and aceton is possibly the most annoying console you could ever have to…
  • by that definition, the romulans are the only faction that doesnt have any escorts, cruisers, or science ships. the romulans dont name their ships by class like the federation seems to. therefore we must assume that the ar'kif is an escort based on its function. either that, or believe that the romulans will never get an…
  • cant stand ground combat in STO, so here's my space evaluation i've gone by for years. Tactical: always DPS, sometimes to the point of glass cannon. engineer: tank. plain and simple. science: debuff, cleanser, healer in some cases with TSS and HE. thats how i believe it should be. if combat was balanced to require tanks,…
  • want to try other ships but dont want to use a respec to get the most out of said ship? use like-styled builds, on different classes. for example it sounds like you have an all energy vesta, probably using the aux cannons to get the most out of the little beasty, which means you are most likely used to cannons only being…
  • as an engineer in an escort who ALWAYS gets agro no matter how good the tacticals in my group are.... yes, drop the heal. there are other ways to increase damage then relying on the most over dramatized space captain skill in the game. besides, with how much damage you can take if you arent paying attention, i seriously…
  • a bit like chopping off the arm to cure the hand.. seriously, if you dont like PVP why are you in this forum? anyway, i dont agree with the first post. the only way in STO that PVP can be fixed is to pull the balance WAY back. and i mean seriously far back. if it wasnt possible to make 80k DPS ships for PVP it'd be alot…
  • not everyone keeps a vibrator under their bed. while virusdancer's definition of 'grind' is not correct, i understand what he's talking about. the manual converting of data samples seems unnecessarily tedious when the old crafting parts will not be usable in the new game. so why not have them all auto convert? why make us…
  • a shipyard map would be a cool place for crafting space gear, but doesnt make much sense for ground gear. that's where having a science station would be best. i agree, memory alpha doesnt fit to be a research base. but then again, if it was simply for lore, no one would go there except RPers. we also need to keep the KDF…
  • merging the marks is not an option. no matter what, there's no way without alot of work, to make nukara, omega, undine, and romulan marks work together at all. as people have pointed out, there are story issues with this, but there are also content issues with this. for example 90% of romulan missions would not be played…
  • your avatar made that so much better. XD aux to battery. *siiiiighs* *looks around* itsOPplznerf!
  • good to hear that worked! and yeah, i dont use arc either. its a horrible piece of code. i designed more reliable programs in my first year of programming. granted, a basic web browser is pretty easy, on the other hand arc has no features of use, and its shameful that they wasted money on it. back on topic... yeah, KDF…
  • i had this problem on my klingon, here's what happened. my inventory had been full when i first did my "castle in the sand" TRIBBLE, and therefore my favors went into my overflow bag. my overflow bag also happened to be glitched, so i couldnt open it. someone in the bug forum suggested i reboot my entire client. (go back…
  • it almost makes me think they are messing with the separation technology. looking at the customization guy on a starbase, i was looking at the 4 different options for the nacel. unfortunately it doesnt look like they have named them at all. i actually do have the multivector console, but using it doesnt really help the…
  • its not all about Boff skills. particle generators also help any plasma builds out there. definitely some romulans in corvettes that'll get a nice boost out of this. as for graviton, this too helps my romulan's build. as i use the gravitic photon torpedo, which in part gets buffed by graviton. that aside, this would not be…
  • i was so ready to buy that hammer then not tell my fleetmates where i got it. (that'll teach you to never read the dev blogs, come on now.) but then as i read through the stats and stuff, my expression changed to one of http://ct.fra.bz/ol/fz/sw/i56/5/4/22/frabz-DAFUQ-e04e7c.jpg
  • it almost looks like they've started playing with the multivector's customization a bit. its very strange, but my multivector's 5th nacel (the saucers nacel) appears to be a bit... umm.... stuck up. so i tried multivectoring, to see if maybe that'd make it better. nope. although how derpy you want your nacel to be seems to…
  • STO... where the powers of subspace are manipulated to make people dance, but cant wear swimsuits off risa. where luxury cruse ships do more damage then galaxy class dreadnoughts, solo elite borg STFs, have crews full of klingons, jemhadar, ferengi, romulans, mirror universe romulans, tholians, etc.... but players cant…
  • wow, that worked, thanks! we really need a official, easy to find, workaround list for all these sort of bugs.
  • see, the only silliness i get into is when i make a new character. i discovered once that when you make a new character, you can have the character limit be almost endless. sooo..... i exploited this for fun. my diplomatic character (RP ish character) started with the U.S.S. too-much-coffee-for-janeway-to-handle my…
  • the saddest thing that's ever happened while flying my brel, is as a joke i built a speedboat, beamboat brel. was meant to be a prank, but somehow earned me first place in Crystaline entity. i dont know how, or why, probably with the dozens of heals i decided to use. somehow, i took first place. in a brel. without a…
  • same.... some romulan guy keeps hitting on me while i'm trying to fly my ship. keeps saying he's looking for a place to put his "nanite bomb". ugh, creep.
