This is not true... A F2P player could still get the cloaking console without spending one cent... All they'd need to do is save Dilithium, and then buy Zen with it via the Dilithium Exchange, and then buy the ship from the C-Store.
I also say no to this. I agree that the Cloaking Device Universal Console should remain just that, a console. By it being a console, you are taking a small penalty on your ships offensive capability for a little more defensive capability. Changing it to a device would remove that penalty. So again, I have to agree that it…
Also, I'd like to point out that expanded use of the Cloaking Device is totally something that the Federation would be trying to do in the current situation in the storyline. The Federation, and it's Romulan and Klingon Allies are fighting against a very powerful enemy, the Iconians. The Iconians are equal to, or more…
I'd like to point out that that is the reason I did not suggest it being made into a device. I think it should remain a console. Also, I think it should remain only available via Ship Purchase. For the KDF players, I'll suggest that maybe the Cloaking Device Universal Console should be added to two KDF ships, one that is…
To be honest, you aren't really providing anything useful to this conversation... Also, you haven't really provided any legitimate reason against what I proposed. Exactly how does making it so that the Cloaking Device Universal Console can be used on any ship make any real difference? Especially when, as I've already…
I'm not lacking anything. I just think it's absurd that a console, of limited effectiveness, that I paid money for, isn't capable of being equipped on more than a handful of ships. Being able to use it on more ships at least adds some usability to it. Also, I'll admit that I'd like to be able to use it on other ships just…
No it doesn't. Not everyone who plays has the Cloaking Device Universal Console, and most people likely aren't going to buy a Federation Dreadnought Cruiser or a Tactical Escort Retrofit just to get the console, because in reality, as others have stated, it's not all that much of an advantage to have. And as I already…
Well, in the past, people have cited the Treaty of Algeron as the reason for not altering the Cloaking Device Universal Console. And frankly, your argument doesn't really hold water anymore, considering that there are three federation ships that come with it built in now. Not too mention the fact that the Cloaking Device…
Look. The Treaty of Algeron is obviously dead in the water. And I'm not asking for everyone to have the ability to cloak their fed ships. I paid for that console with cash when I bought the Galaxy Bundle. It's not like one can buy it with in game currency from a vendor (unless you count spending a ton of Dilithium on Zen…
IF I were going to make an argument for Feds to have battle cloak, I wouldn't argue it should be a trait. I would suggest that they make a set using the Cloaking Device Universal Console, the Saucer Separation Universal Console, and the Molecular Cohesion Nullifier Field Universal Console, and have it it so that it is an…
I am not suggesting that cloaks be put on all Federation ships for all captains, only for captains who have the Cloaking Device Universal Console from the Federation Dreadnought Cruiser or from the Tactical Escort Retrofit from the C-Store equipped in a console slot on their ship. Only players who have purchased one of…
I understand that, but the Cloaking Device Console doesn't really provide all that much of an advantage. I have been using it for a year, and frankly, about all it's good for is hiding, and sneaking up on people. The bonuses it provides to a ship are negligable when you're at level 60, and your ship is maxed out. It's not…
Not all Federation Captains would have access to cloaks, only Captains who obtained the Cloaking Device Universal Console via buying a C-Store ships that comes with it already would. Being as they already possess at least one cloakable ship already, I fail to see how this would have any major effect in that sense. I am not…
FYI: Not all controllers are working. I use a wired xbox 360 controller, and when I use it, my ship turns flat, like it's a car going around a corner... This isn't the biggest of problems, but it is annoying, and it does seem to have a slightly negative effect on turning radius. I hope that you'll get this fixed, as I much…
Well, I'm Sorry... * I didn't know that rule * I found this via Google Search * I didn't notice how old the thread was when I posted that. My bad, but I still think my points are valid... I guess from now on I'll either find a recent thread, or start my own (although starting cloak discussion threads seems to be met with…
The Federation doesn't use cloaks? Only the Defiant has used one? Might want to double check that... A Conspiracy of Star Fleet Officers developed (albeit illegally) the most sophisticated cloak of them all... the Prototype Phase-shifting Cloaking Device (see ST:TNG Ep. "The Pegasus") which not only cloaked the ship, but…
I've heard multiple things from multiple players, and also found conflicting info on the web, so I'm not sure what the deal is with this forced respec stuff...
Maybe if I give you a run through of my typical attack strategy, you can make a few suggestions on how I can make it as effective as possible... I attack almost all opposing ships this way... Step 1: Acquire Initial Target (in the case of a group of ships, I start with the biggest one). Step 2: Go to Full Impulse power…
Well.. see... I had a pretty good setup using the items listed above, believe it or not, and if possible, I'd like to continue using as much of them as possible... That's why I was asking for Stat/Trait suggestions, and not a place I can find other people's builds... But thanks for the link, it could come in handy at some…
