I believe it was Gorngonzolla who mentioned that they were running out of Boff configuration combinations and prety soon would be left with repeating everything that had already been done. Now of course they have the universal Boff to play with and a few Boff layouts that have never been used, probably do to balancing…

There is a risk/reward with Intel powers as you must surrender a normal Boff power to place an Intel one. At lower levels the Boff powers could be more open to Intel use but if on a Tac ship who wants to give up a APO3 or CSV3 or CRF3 for that Intel power? Or how about losing that GW3 on your Intel Sci ship? I can only see…

I am sure there are many players who will never pay another cent for anything in this game but even some of them will through various means be able to upgrade their ship(s) with a proper upgrade system. With 100 or so Z-Store, Fleet ships to be purchased there is a lot of impetus for Cryptic to do this for business reasons…
-
Too bad about the cooldown, will Cryptic never learn? That was one of the fun parts about the original Mirror Invasion and it was very popular too. I would like to see that original brought back as a shuttle event mission in the future. I use HE1 or ET1 but wondered if there was a better idea out there. I have tried/ am…

Specialist Boff seating is not going to happen but this may not eliminate T6 upgrades unless T6 ships without it have some other special abilities we have not been told about. Unless Cryptic has 100+ extra ship traits to add to the T5's then an upgrade to full T6 can't happen. Now instead if we were offered the chance to…
-
I am not a big fan of the way Tier 5 ships are proposed to be upgraded to nicer Tier 5 ships and things that I am not a big fan of tend to be steered around and or moved on from. In this case that would mean "protesting" by getting by with the free upgrade ships even if they would be less capable than Tier 6 ships, or…

Just change content difficulty ranges and leave reps alone. Normal will be as we have now with respect to difficulty but will have all rep passives and Doffs turned off. Elite will add 3 chosen Doffs and 4 chosen Rep passives to use for the upgraded difficulty. Insert name here for the highest difficulty would allow max…

I wish that game altering changes to systems could be discussed way before they will be actually implimented. What we have here is only a slight chance to make a minor change to the system as a whole before they roll out season 9 sometime in May. I'll play along and say we need 5 or 6 rep trait choices as 4 seems a bit too…

It's not a direct loss of money for Cryptic but rather a loss of potential profits that the OP was trying to point out. Unfortunately, early reports from Tribble suggest that the Fleet Gal X won't be getting any Boff changes from the rebooted Z-Store version. The Dev blog had stated that they were bringing the Gal X up to…

I once pooled all of my best beam arrays and consoles onto one character and transferred him to Tribble. I did this to test out an Odyssey and try out my best available setup I could muster at that time. I absolutely loved the Tactical Odyssey with saucer seperation and decided I would buy the 3 pack when the next ship…
-
I too am a bit dismayed and disappointed by the sameness of the ships in this "3 pack". I gave quite a bit of feedback during the LOR beta testing on the ships and if I had been in the beta testing of the Scimitar this is what I would have suggested. Leave the Scimitar as the powerful but also vulnerable ship it turned out…

Fleet T'varo Retrofit: Now you have the stealth bomber with science abilities while keeping the possibilty of a very nasty alpha striker. Gone is the non cloaking dog fighter and for this ship that is something it should never have been able to do in the first place. The only change I could suggest would be to make the…
-
Fleet T'varo Retrofit: This console layout suggests that this ship is THE escort for the Romulans and as such has the 5 Tactical consoles so it can go toe to toe against the JHAS or the 5 Tac console Federation escorts. One problem with that theory is why does it have the enhanced battle cloak as well if it's supposed to…
-
Cloak Mechanics: Everyone assumed this change was done to nerf the 5 Superior Operative Boff enhancement but we are now made to believe it was done because Romulans ships were too survivable with just the 20 second cool down on cloaks. There are a lot of experienced players helping with the beta testing and that may…
-
Singularity Mechanics: Base subsystem power is -10 per subsystem. Power levels increase as the singularity powers increase until the power penalty is nullified at full singularity power. Therefore any use of a singularity power comes with the risk of lowering your base powers until they are charged back by the singularity…

From the character selection screen you have the option to rename or delete a toon.

Well since wrathofachilles has already in a super tired state suggested the boff layout I had been toying with for the D'deridex I thought I might as well present all of my soon to be flamed ideas for Romulan ship boff layouts. The Romulan command structure as I have imagined it would not be welcoming to Uhlans having any…

I just saw blog 10. So Warp Shadows gives you a jump with some kind of semi belated cloak? I only used it once and was not too impressed by the statues of my ship. Singularity gives you a jump with debuffs but not much damage, so 2 jumping powers? Singularity Overcharge seems as if it could be OP so everyone will only use…
-
Is there any negative to using the overcharge ability then? If not, it would seem one can have the reward without risk.
-
Make base power levels -10. As the singularity charges give +1 every level of charge until all power is -5 at full charge plus whatever bonus one would receive from a particular core. I would suggest the power bonus be + 10 for a + 5 to a system to make it closer to the +7.5 that warp cores receive. Have the singularity…

I just used the Ultimate Game Card and it charged me 68 cents so I had to use a second card just to get the first to even work. I received the 15% bonus ZEN and then decided to use up as much of the remaining balance to buy ZEN so I bought 1000 and 500 ZEN. In the Ultimate Game Card site it showed the 15% bonus but when I…
