You're making a rather huge assumption here... Namely that he isn't a LTS. And I see he's posted and points out he is in fact a LTS. How exactly is offering stuff at a discount a scam? It's not like you are having to buy a bunch of stuff you get for free in the other factions. You still have to buy most of the c-store…

If they put you on ignore, either they saw you in zone or something, or else someone else told them to put you on ignore. There is no such thing as an auto-ignore in the game that I know of, so if you send them a PM and they're ignoring you, it's because they put you on their list. The ignore list is pretty much always one…

I don't think the person needed to be removed from the fleet. But he should of been demoted to some sort of Sr. Officer type rank. One that does not have the rights to kick the current leadership out. Any time you let someone who hasn't been seen for 30+ days stay keep the top rank in the fleet you're quite simply asking…

People need to look no farther then EVE to see this. Happens all the time there. I used to play a game, years and years ago called Subspace. A simple little online space ship shooter type thing. There were people in the game who enjoyed nothing more then shooting people as soon as they spawned in, or spawn campers as…

No, it's how well they get along with everyone else, and what they contribute to the fleet as a whole, and not just to the fleet projects. And again you are creating a perfect system for greifers to gain a captive audience. They could quite easily lay low and be just sort of there until they get about 100k in fleet…
-
How much someone contributes vs how good of a fleet mate they are, has nothing to do with each other. Bottom line is that someone could join your fleet, donate a ton of fleet marks, then know that if you try and kick them the fleet as a whole will be punished for it. This means that they have you over a barrel, and the…

You'll be able to change your traits, they're giving a full respect. As far as I know the trait system has nothing to do with species, that would require that you change your species. If anything it should make the choice of species less imporant. The abilities from the trait system and rep system work the same for all…
-
I'd say it's 99.99999~% to not happen. No game that I know of lets people change class, regardless of changes made. What nerfs and buffs to classes are you talking about?
-
Clearly that wasn't a challenge, because a challenge implies that you have a chance of winning. An event that people spend an hour + and 90% of the time still can't win is not a challenge, it's a pointless waste of resources, because no one will bother with that content. The current CE is IMO on the easy side, but at least…

Well that's true now. It's not how it should work. If the crew system worked correctly the OP's idea might help make Cruisers and Sci ships a bit more powerful.
-
Doing just the story arc stuff and Doffing should get you to 50 long before you run out of missions. You're missing something somewhere. On one of my alts, I did the PvE missions, some fleet alerts when I hit captain, 3 or 4 Mirror Universe events, and I hit 50 while I was still doing the Romulan arc. I was 20 odd levels…

Actually that's an opinion not a fact. Perhaps you should look up the meaning of those words before you use them again. It's also not an opinion shared by everyone.
-
No, there's ships you can buy for Dilithium. All the standard non c-store ships can be bought that way in fact.
-
Yes, and I never understood why anyone felt having it was a good idea. Yet when I played people were constantly defending the ammo system. Normally they were people who didn't play hunters of course. But they seemed to feel that not having it would somehow dumb down the game and make it easier. As if having some items in…
-
This is only a slightly worse idea then the WoW ammo system, that required one and only one class to carry several stacks of items with them or else be unable to do pretty much anything... Having to go back to ESD to buy crew does not make the game better. It does nothing to improve the game, doesn't improve immersion,…
-
I'd say that perhaps most, but at least some are satisfied with that answer, even if you are not.
-
As long as Cryptic has a vested interest in keeping Dilithium rare they're not going to increase the refinement cap.
-
You have proof of that? Some sort of metric that shows that most people only do the rep grind on one character per account? Or as is more likely, you are speaking only for yourself, and assuming everyone else feels like you?
-
Wow... just wow.
-
Market forces will find a equilibrium, a point where supply and demand set a semi-constant price point. When one or the other changes then the price changes. Market controls however do only one thing, they cause the price to rise, because supply goes elsewhere.
-
Not really something that's a matter of opinion or other subjective measures. You clearly don't understand even basic economics. Price fixing never makes things better. In every case that it's been tried it always drives up the price of goods, because supply shrinks and escapes to other, uncontrolled markets. The history…

I leveled a tact character up using the Doff system, MU incursion, storyline missions and fleet alerts once I got to Captain. I hit lvl 50 and was still doing lvl 28 episodes IIRC. I find that the worst level range for a new character is 1-10, due in part to the ship and part the lack of the Doff system. Once you hit lvl…
-
You are so completely and utterly clueless, that I will simply leave this quote here so everyone will hopefully know better then to try and point out why you're wrong. Because anything said would be a waste of time. Anyone who could make a statement like the one above, or claim that he understands economics better then the…
-
Wow, someone from Cryptic is going to show up at a persons house and flog them every few hours for a week? That is brutal. :rolleyes: It's been proven already that anyone from any fleet can be invited to a Starbase, and buy anything that the starbase has to sell, but use their own fleets provisions for doing so. So if you…
-
Because they get special traits that are only useful if they're cloaked. So any ship with a cloak will work better for a Rom then one without it. Some might, but I'm not. I plan on flying exclusively Romulan ships with my character. I'd like to say that most people will likely do the same. But considering how many other…
-
Which is still a ton more options then the Feds have. Now on a scale of 1-10 this is like a 2 perhaps, on why a Rom might join the KDF over the Feds. But it is still an advantage that the KDF has. So if a Rom has no reason to pick one side over the other... They aren't a member of a fleet, they don't have friends playing…
-
It does make the KDF slightly more appealing to the Roms. There will be 2 fed ships they can fly without losing out on the cloak bonus. Most KDF ships have it however. So with all else being equal the KDF does provide a small advantage.
-
Well then I guess your option is play one and get most of what you want, or don't play one and get nothing. Considering your avatar, I'd think that getting most everything you want would be enough to get you to play a Rom.
-
They're not really picking a side in the war however. It sounds much more like they're picking which side they want to work with, which side will help them rebuild Mol'Rihan. The storyline will not involve the Roms getting involved with the Fed/KDF war however. So the RR won't be fighting for one side or the other in the…

There's a lot of ships in STO that were never seen on a screen, be it TV or Movie. As I understand it, any ship that was seen on the TV or Movie, is something they could put into the game. For anything new, I believe it's just a matter of showing the design to someone at CBS and they can approve, disprove, or ask for…
