Free BoP. Which is old and TRIBBLE to most but... They have DHCs, they extend shields, they TRIBBLE warp plasma, they bomb things with TCMs, they keep damaged ships alive all simultaneously in the same build and with no need for pay to win consoles. True warriors do not whine about the other side being OP. They make their…
Bad feedback or demands for more is actually a good sign that the community is alive and that people care about what they're getting from the game. Imagine a community where everything is prim and proper and negative feedback is somehow nowhere to be found? It's either a properly functioning Victorian society or North…
It would depend on the developer. If it's anything from a seasoned MMO developer, yes. Cryptic, sorry, no. I'm receiving much more returns (measured in fun and community) from other MMOs I've -just- started playing. Much more than a year of STO I'm afraid. And the fun stuff is much cheaper too.
Oh no, we definitely do not want that to happen. I mean, have you played Space Empires V with improved custom AI? Imagine peacefully doing your own thing in the corner of the galaxy, and suddenly the next turn you're thrust into first contact with up to a dozen other starfaring civilizations that seem to be toting…
The problem with going so far back is that... it's awkward in more ways than one. They should have used the proposed NX-01 Refit with secondary hull in the first season, because that looked like a angular, primitive precursor to the Constitution class. Using an Akira-inspired design made the titular ship look very wierd…
If it's a PvP related complaint, then I'll say this: Anything unfortunate or silly enough to be stationary and under multi-TCM attack deserves to be toast! If it's a PvE balancing issue then I'll say this: To become a strategic bomber type ship I need to sacrifice a LtC or Cdr tac boff power, which tend to be lovely things…
I never thought of multiple TCM launchers for some reason! Going to give it a try later, as I can afford to sacrifice a turret or a rear beam array. Fleetmates told me good things about trico torpedoes with big spreads and HY3 too, but I didn't like the torps much due to the long reload and significantly lower spike damage…
There is a way to use a third party program to save frames from the recorded demo, in JPG format, which you can then use a video editor to string together as a complete video. The tool is of course Rachel Garrett's STO demo player. Do you have it?
+1 to all the above. First of all I'm not a top percentile player. Trying to PvP with 450ms ping is a joke but I've done it before with all ship types and I enjoy it regardless. My main role in fleet and PUG ESTFs are similar - get a cruiser, keep people alive. Very few people seem to do the PUG tank/heal role so that's…
^this. It's the same with any new ship. There's a rush to get it. Most will blow up often, then go back to whatever they were using before. Good Breen ships will be more commonly seen as players get used to it and develop a workable fighting style for them. The same is, ironically true for real world fighting machines.…
I particularly loled a lot at the "PUG Hive Space Elite" one because I've done that a number of times just for lulz. It's not particularly horrible because I get to personally save the day for the team :D Including one time where I soloed like 5 elite tac cubes with a Tholian carrier not even dying once. Lmao. Also we…
Indeed, I agree with you. I put the link and quote up to prevent people from trolling that marines should be this and that... without considering the historical use of specialized naval infantry and QRFs as you propose. QRFs are definitely valuable for any sort of conflict and it pays to embark such a unit to enhance a…
It is also fiction so there's really no right and wrong. Write your own Starfleet Corps of Marines :) (There are already a specialized Corps of Engineers).
Oh good attention to detail there. I have no IC justification for actually using the Tholian ship (and don't really like the interior) but it was a good means to demonstrate that "carriers don't suck" and innovation triumphs over uniform linear thinking. The Fed side doesn't have a true assault carrier unlike the Klingons…
I have run into @Sprint01 before I left for vacation back in Sep / Oct, it's good to see a new, serious and successful RP effort ongoing. Now, before I click in my application on your website I just want to make a couple enquiries first just so I can make sure my IC characters and myself can fit in properly. 1) I am pretty…
To: OP I actually liked reading this background. Yes, it's against Federation ethics to conduct genetic manipulation, yes, people have had serious penalties for being discovered being modified in such manner (Dr. Bashir of DS9), but in times of war dire straits call for desperate measures and S31 would not be beyond having…
