Write-in vote for a T6 Vo'Quv; carrier performance issues aside, it's just too awesome flying four BoPs at once.
-
Team Alpha, since I couldn't vote for Vandread's amazing kitbash, which was the best ship in the competition by far. That said, I appreciate that Alpha has a recognizable saucer/engineering hull division even if it is minimal - it looks more like something that Starfleet might've designed than the disc with engines poking…
-
With or without the Alpha mission pod, this is hands down the best design in the competition; I would vote for it over any of the losing ships that I've voted for thus far, and definitely over any of the ships left in the competition. The Omega saucer with the symmetrical Epsilon nacelles and closer pylons is the most…
-
To maintain their identity as a third faction. The concern amongst players was that Romulan characters would just get stuck into the top-of-the-line Fed/KDF ships at 50 and we'd cease to see Romulan ships in space.
-
STO adheres to the most recently established canon in both of these instances, and even references the explanation for the ridgeless Klingons in a fairly extensive episode series. The series established Admiral, and the Subadmiral ranks that are used in the games are logically consistent with the canon uses of Subcommander…
-
Your proposed rank structure has nothing to do with the canon Romulan ranks in Star Trek. Here you go.
-
Again, the upcoming expansion that's currently available for testing that introduces the Romulan faction, singularity cores and abilities, warp cores, and Romulan ships is called Legacy of Romulus. It is explicitly not Season 8. Season 8 will be later this year. My initial post was mostly questioning your attitude toward…
-
And you seem to have missed my point completely - the borders of the war changed. It's no longer intra-quandrant rivalry with the main empires from the various series, it's inter-quandrant rivalry with the various outside threats that were introduced in TNG, DS9, and VOY. This is a group of the survivors of various…

Wow, did you even read the original post? He's flying a level 40 ship, hit 50, and is wondering what level 50 ship he should pick up. It's a perfectly valid concern/question, and not as though he's looking at buying his fifth C-Store ship on the same character. Also, we don't know what Season 8 will bring, since we've…
-
As opposed, of course, to not advancing the story and timeline past DS9 or TNG. Heck, why don't we remove the option for Klingons to have cranial ridges and return them to a time when they were real warriors and not the pansified so-called "Empire" that signed the Khitomer Accords and is acting in concert with their…

Redundant posts/threads are merged with existing ones on the same topic.

I'd be fine with the Cardassians being playable in any form, really, whether it's as an agent of the Detapa council, as an agent of the Obsidian Order, or as a purchasable playable race. Just having them in-game would be enough for me.
-
Neverwinter is not the cause this week, it's the start of the Open Beta for LoR - Neverwinter Open Beta has been running all week, without any huge crashes like we ran into last weekend and are running into this weekend. This is actually a good sign for LoR, since it's popular enough to destabilize the shared resources…
-
It's disabled for the Test Weekend, and all previously transferred characters were wiped. Probably to, y'know, get people testing the new low-level content for Romulans and KDF.
-
Not to mention time waiting for the servers to come back up...
-
WoW is ridiculously grey and grey for morality, though. Both factions are guilty of some pretty heinous war crimes, harboring terrorists, etc., but they both have their share of heroic acts and qualities as well. It's tougher in STO, because a lot of people are stuck in the mindset that most of the series pushed, that…
-
Nope, just one hour total during the announced test weekend times.
-
Because it's a server crash; this is not a scheduled maintenance and they did not know about it in advance. Ah, the perils of testing events when all of the shards share the same login and authentication resources, right?
-
The point of the Vesta is that it's a strictly better ship. The Universal BOff slots give it versatility in loadout, the Aux Cannons let it deal strong damage while maintaining strong Sci powers, the hangar is a pure DPS add... it's just tough to justify using anything but the Vesta for a Sci ship. Personally, I really…
-
Makes sense, actually, since it's another stress test weekend for a big release, what with LoR going into open beta, the test weekend for it, and the fact that Tribble's had a queue all day. Looks like it's the account/login server that's down. Here's hoping they fix it quickly - should have plenty of practice after last…
-
I got booted and can't connect to the account server. Might be going down, but we'd definitely need more confirmation before asserting that it is down.
-
Interesting, and good to know. Thanks!
-
Yeah, starting at 1225 in the queue, getting to 1204, and then getting shoved to 8407 is only going to take a couple of minutes to get in...
-
According to the Path to 2409, Cardassia has been a Federation protectorate for 26 years and been ruled by a democratically elected civilian government for 20 years by the start of the game. They are, by their very definition at this point, "Federation Lite", since they're all but a member world of the Federation.
-
Good god, no. The rewards have, historically, been something that's usable by any character on an account, and either cosmetic or a minor ground buff. A Scimitar wouldn't (and shouldn't) fit any of these criteria. It's very likely that it'll be some new breed of tribble ground device, or some sort of mini pet. Anything…
-
I know that you suggest it everywhere, but I'm truly surprised that you're not going all-out on it here. If you're going to suggest one, you should suggest FOUR!
-
That one actually works out. "You people" can be used as a dismissive, sometimes derogatory way to address a group that you don't care for in English.
-
Yeah, I was talking about pulling the Wing Cannons off and using another actual DHC. Swapping a rear turret for a front DHC makes a very appreciable damage difference. No one except you, apparently. The Fleet Tactical Escort is not the Fleet Patrol Escort, which can share a BOff layout with the Charal or the Khyzon,…
-
Great post and great points overall, but one little issue with this point - all of the events leading up to Spock and Nero's departure to the alternate timeline are present in this game, and Spock and Nero are not (Hobus supernova, destruction of Romulus, Red Matter Capacitor, etc...) so, acknowledging the alternate…
-
Vitzh also raises a valid point with this; while the original post in this thread and the suggested charter would otherwise have been something that I would've passed over, the original poster linked to his much more... assertive... thread on the issue in the original post, and made statements in his later post that lend…
