Very happy to see ships being given away, makes up for the lack of a T5 vessel in the new lockbox. If this were to become a regular thing I'm all for it. I'm especially happy with the Ar'kif, and glad I saved that upgrade token. My Reman has a proper endgame ship now.
Did you know her name is Admiral Leeta, and she is in command of the ISS Enterprise? Yup. She annoys me already. Not a terribly interesting character so far, but perhaps as the episodes are released we'll see more dimensions.
I'm torn. The thing about exploration within a game such as this, well...it's boring. It's sitting in space pressing F and waiting for the game to do stuff around you. I mean look at the missions where you do no combat. Can anyone honestly say they have more fun playing Of Bajor than any other mission with combat in? We're…
Perhaps it's too early to tell. The community will need time to play with all the new toys and figure out what works with what. I think all the Herald stuff looks silly (in my personal opinion) - looks more like something Jyggalag cooked up. So I don't plan to get anything, but to each their own. Those free T5 ships were a…
I'm sure she's seen worse. I suppose after a while it all just flies over your head. This kid is just frustrated because he/she badly wants to play STO and unsurprisingly having trouble since on new season launch day that's everyone else's plan too.
Whatever happened to that electoral reform everyone was talking about? SNP, UKIP and Greens dropped of a petition (since they always work) but nothing since. Back on topic, the face-lifted Jupiter class winning isn't much of a revelation if we're honest. If you guys ever do this for a cruiser in the future be sure to add…
A ship would be nice, but we've not had one the last few giveaways. So I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. I reckon it'll be something 'slots' related.
Lockbox ships are a bit of a stretch. Standard T5 ships that are both upgradable for a price and are now gathering dust in the C-Store are better options. It makes sense to me. Encourage the sales of tokens which at 700 zen a pop ain't exactly pocket change and use for ships that are by all accounts mostly considered…
I dunno, daring to change the looks of iconic ships usually lands them in even more hot water than it does offering alien hardware. Remember the fuss over that T6 Excelsior cruiser - even though the original skin was still an option plenty of people shed tears over it's facelift.
Not to once again drag up the fetid corpse of the very beaten horse, but there will always ever only be one other thing that is more powerful than a player. Another player better than you. NPC's will never compete. As thlaylierah says they have to resort to spamming cheese to even survive. From Heralds and debuffs,…
You love it. Don't lie, you do. If people actually followed this ancient rule trolls wouldn't exist to begin with. So my advice? Enjoy the show until the lock.
Don't be. Seriously my 30th birthday was the best I ever had to date, but then I suppose I've always had the heart of middle age - even during teen years. Enjoy being allowed to moan at younger people acting like idiots!
They need to adapt. Or rather evolve. I say it's about time we see assimilated undine, voth and other species from the Delta quadrant. Adapt their technology and their strategy.
My Federation guy is pretty much sticking to his 'fun' ship. A Mirror Escort Retrofit with a multi-disruptor cannon built. Nanite, Elachi and the 3 piece Resonant set from Blood of the Ancients make up the pew pew, and the 2 piece freebie Solanae set plus the Kobali deflector for everything else. I also use the Fleet…
Cruisers being able to tank, cross healing and even getting the gens down to 10% like the good ol' days. I think this video confirms it. I have reached bittervet status.
Best designs go to the Breen ships. A proper space ship doesn't need wings, symmetry or any of that pretty nonsense. Asymmetric vessels always look built for purpose so I naturally prefer them. As for worse design? Well it's a personal taste thing so I'd argue there is no 'bad' design in the game...but I hate the Galaxy.…
I can chip in, I don't consider myself to be anything more or less than an average F2P player. I think I can hit around the 10k mark when applying myself with the best gear I have. But normally perhaps the 6/8k mark when having fun. This is just going on random parser posts to team chat, normally I pay no attention to what…
It still bugs me that Thalaron Pulse is a thing, and actually all the other nasty radiation based weaponry that was once highly illegal but is now apparently perfectly acceptable to use.
For the sake of argument, why would there not white Orions? I mean we're all friends now, and they've been 'allied' with the KDF for the span of the game. In other words plenty of opportunity for Orion genes to...mix...with other races. Seems reasonable to me that in certain situations olive or white skinned Orions would…
I think when it comes to space the available Boff skills need a good spring clean. All careers have useless abilities no-one touches, and in the case of eng or sci many that can do with a buff. Another consideration is the ships themselves. The best thing about them is also the worse thing about them. Yes, any Captain can…
