I honestly hope going back on your word was worth it Cryptic. You've lost a loyal customer in me for it. To think I was one mouse click away from buying the 9 ship Command Pack. So glad I didn't bite the bullet now. This literally falls under the FTC's definition of false advertising. T5U is not T6 capable. It is…

There was Zero reason the JHSS needed to have the JHAS costume as a secondary option. This was a slap in the face. You could have designed any ship. There are dozens of canon ships that are still not in the game for players to use. Instead you decided to outright replace one of the most expensive ships in the game. This…
-
For those of us who own the JHAS, I am extremely disappointed but not surprised. Honestly, you didn't need to re-release this ship. There were plenty of other ships to choose from. It's a slap in the face plain and simple.
-
Ugh, guess I've been leveling the wrong character if there's a 50K channel. Daddy needs his Superior Romulan Operatives.
-
1. It looks like you're back to the drawing board. 2. PO Aux2Bat is a very viable build. You don't need photonic cooldown officers, they end up doing nothing. If you're a tactical captain try to keep Tactical Advantage opposite of PO.
-
Everything needs to be scaled down by half at least. These new changes seems to be driven toward a "Fisher-Price" style of BIG, homogenization, with no thought towards color blindness. :confused:
-
I've only been half paying attention, but I'm surprised it ended so quickly.
-
My Record is 21k during a Infected Space Elite in my Fleet Assault Cruiser Retrofit. That's the only time I've ever broken 20k DPS. Normally I parse somewhere between 15k-18k. Running with Cannons the highest I've ever managed was 16k with my Jem'hadar Attack Ship.
-
While the Scimitar is the highest dps ship in the game and very flexible BOff wise it is more a cruiser. There is nothing more fun than zipping around in a Bug. If you like the Defiant style of play the Bug is right up your alley. Also, it's the toughest escort in the game.
-
Basically, The Avenger, Assault Cruiser, and Excelsior are all pretty equal with a slight different flavor. Pick whichever is most aesthetically pleasing. The next tier would be The Galaxy-X, Ambassador, Heavy Cruiser Retrofit, and the Tactical Odyssey. Then the rest are all equally awful.
-
Antiproton is unquestionably the best weapon type right now and in season 8 it's only going to get better. However, The Omni-directional Beam array is only worthwhile if you are using a cannon build and have an extra tactical bridge officer slot you can use on a beam ability. Plasma is only more popular because the cost of…
-
From what I've read in this thread (about half of it) there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes Aux2Bat builds broken: Beam weapons benefit from extra damage when they go above 125 power levels. Getting your weapon power as high as you can and keeping it there is what causes those 40K dps builds to work.
-
The only ships in the game that is better than a D'Deridex are the Scimitar and Recluse.
-
Mine is sustained. Burst varies wildly. I can throw up 40k burst dps in my Jem'hadar Attack Ship pvp build, but it's sustained damage is around 10k. Meanwhile my FACR will do 15k sustain with a burst of about 20k. That's why I listed it instead. I don't know about that. It's been my experience that once everyone is…
-
My: Tactical FD'Deridex does ~20k Tactical FACR does ~15k Sci Fed Recluse does ~15k Eng Mirror Vo'quv ~9k In ISE using: http://hilbertguide.com/ACT.html My numbers are pretty consistent. I'd say the average pug is 3k.
-
Their secret is that they bring 5 people that do upwards of 20k DPS. Honestly I'm guessing you're pretty close to that though. Drop the Neutronium for an EPS console. Switch EPtS3 for EPtW3; TSS2 for TBR2. Remember those Scimitars are actually Escorts, not cruisers, with 5 Tactical Consoles and a CDR Tactical Boff. You're…
-
Less Star Destroyers please. We already have enough.
-
I'll settle for not coming to a complete stop with MVAE separation.
-
Firstly getting the Photonic science officer is just impossible because it's never on the exchange anymore. Secondly, with a copy of Aux2Bat you only need photonic officer 1 anyways for a very near to max uptime on buffs. Throw on 2 piece maco with elite deflectors for a better than aux2bat science build.
-
Weapons overcap, so put as much power into weapons as possible. So start with 100/50/25/25. Check your speed when you're flying at max speed (not full impulse). If you are exactly at 26 impulse or higher you are good to go. If not, divert power from shields to engines until you reach 26 impulse. This will max your bonus…
-
Plasmonic Leech, Assimilated, Romulan, Nukara (if you use beams) and Tachyokinentic, then Embassy consoles, in that order.
-
I use all universal consoles. Borg, Nukra, Romulan, Plasmonic leech, Tachyokinetic. The plasma science consoles are pretty tempting though.
-
Drop the cannons go full beam boat. This: http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/?build=reddit_1993 half built is getting me 30k dps.
-
The real crux in the game right now is putting APB on as many targets as possible. The best way to do this is with AoE skills and positioning. Positioning with BFaW is a much more forgiving thing. With the current state of EPtE it is almost impossible to group the enemy in a way that makes cannon builds do their max…
-
The same reason we no longer get bridge packs, or new Klingon ships, or PvP support, or an update to the Doff system. Cryptic (or Perfect World) feels these things are not profitable enough to get attention.
-
Well this is just disappointing and goes to show that the Devs are not participating in the game the same way the majority of the player base is. Even the best science builds are mediocre in PvE and traditional MMO Tanking is completely non-existent. While I wouldn't say escorts are out of control, DPS builds on any ship…
-
Hargh'peng can only benefit from 1 doff proc which reduces the cooldown to 10 seconds. Bio-Neural is inferior to Tricobalt if you are using Doffs or Boffs. Omega glitches out your Doffs so I'd swap that out for a Hargh'peng. Between that and your Romulan You should have all your torpedos at the lowest cooldown possible.…
-
This was a waste of resources that could have been spent developing new content. At best it was fixing a problem that didn't exist. At worse the new icons are actually more homogenous looking than the old ones. This kind of change makes me wonder the direction Cryptic is heading in.
-
Ok, I love this game and I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way: It at least appears that Lock Boxes are less often funding new content and more often replacing old content. I realize lock boxes are funding the game. I'm ok with that. I really am. However, the content in lock boxes are moving out of niche items…
