Really, the Cryptic engine isn't that taxing. I've got a 2 year old Lenovo with Intel integrated graphics that was only $300 new and it's my main STO machine. You might not be able to crank the graphics up all the way, but with the lighting/bloom/fx turned to Medium, STO runs at full speed on this hardware. Although I'm…
Well, I've followed some of your tips and done some reputation grinding and here's where I'm at: http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/?build=alohastriker_0 Only thing not correct here is the engine, I've got the Counter Command Implulse drive. For some reason the site's drop down list does not have that engine…
I was using the Zero Point Energy Conduit module, but I thought I could get better mileage out of another fleet RCS +allres. Now that I think of it, I may be able to forgo all of the RCS consoles and the secondary sheilds if I slot the cloaked barrage console. You know, why bother with survivability at all if I can alpha…
I would like to go all cannon. The Scimitar just looks like something that should be raining cannon fire forward. If all cannons, then what tac Boff abilities? Just CRF1 and CNF2 plus the APO3? What BOFF should I slot in the universal Lt. Cmdr? I really like Grav well since it holds escorts still long enough to hit them…
Really having trouble with my Scimitar build. Finally got my fleet gear, but it's still not holding it's own against what I'm seeing other Scimitars put out. http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/?build=kievattackscim0_0 Really wondering if I should drop the beams and go all cannons/turrets. Problem is that I was…
Thanks, but that didn't do it. Fortunately, I found this: Originally Posted by lucho80 View Post Someone helped me, go to options->Display and set the resolution scale to 1. That fixes the pixel vision problem. This did the trick perfectly!
Really can't figure out what they've done to the graphics. On my laptop with Intel(r)HD graphics (which could previously render the game at high detail) I can now only get blurry graphics. I don't get it, the graphics don't change, regardless of what I change the graphics and advanced settings to. The HUD/UI elements look…
I'm also having the same problem. No matter what I set my graphics settings to, it looks like blurry, grainy garbage. What have they done to this game???
I've been spamming my Quantum SlipStream since it disables collision in sector space. Even warping as short as from DS9 to the Dilithium mines requires it these days.
Time to get your tin foil hat re-fitted, it's putting too much pressure on your brain. http://contrailscience.com/how-to-debunk-chemtrails/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory#False_evidence_of_chemtrails
Yeah, I had this same bug all day yesterday trying in vain to play the Starbase 24 fleet event. All the devs take off after an exhausting few months making the expansion and the game just starts to spew random bugs everywhere...
Dude, Cryptic wisely stopped making any attempt to be consistent with the Pocket Books Star Trek continuity long ago. Probably sometime around when Janeway became the new Borg Queen and started absorbing planets with her super cube. STO follows the events as laid out in the Star Trek: Countdown comics, and subsequently the…
Waaaaay back in the day, when I was a commander I confused a normal Romulan story mission with the beam in point for the Romulan Temple ground fleet action. Yeah, I was confused why my Bridge Officers didn't beam down with me, but that didn't stop me from trying to play through the fleet action on my own. FOR FIVE HOURS.…
I got a Crit on all but the third of the chain. I think it has more to do with the fact that the required crit traits are more common then on many other recruitment missions and thus, easier to achieve.
