Last year I didn't even bother doing the various quests, since 2 years ago there were still the pearls, I was able to progress with my 3 toon. This year I noticed the change and got pissed. I already have committed the pearls to the task; so I do not have them in my inventory. I will try one quest and see if it will add to…

Vesta for the win then :) Like the new slick look of this leaked image thou :) Also the 150 dollars pack is including the Dauntless....I wonder when we will see these on the store! BTW I did a respect few times on my cap; and the skill set was the same; but the damage was marginally different, which means that either I do…

in is the Advanced dyson ship worth for a sci officer on a Vesta? Comment by darshie101 September 2014

All of you has very strong points....I was hoping that crafting 2.0 was a way to save a bit this game from the total lack of interest whatsoever for crafting. But at least; in the old way, you could craft something that you needed or that can be used or sold. Now; forget about it. It was too easy before? Well...if I am…

in The good and bad of crafting in 9.5...2 steps behind? Comment by darshie101 September 2014

I know; I am late but I wanted to express my thoughts, since today was the first day that I actually tried it. I play the game in bursts; so it may happen that for months I don't play, and then go on for weeks playing it, and then stop again. I try stuff on tribble sometimes; but when time is little, I prefer to focus on…

Yup, the Nukara rep is the next stop for me, to get the aux boost :) BTW I did the trick to dismiss and reclaim the ship; plus I have also a quad cannon from the Cstore Defiant variant; but you can get only one per character, so technically I have the highest DPS cannons that are in game

in is the Advanced dyson ship worth for a sci officer on a Vesta? Comment by darshie101 September 2014

Wait, now that's new to me....I have the toon at max level, so the highest tier of ships that you may get is the VA ship (which is Tier 5 right?). Since when they introduced the new tier? I heard only of toon level increase. Is this new in Delta expansion or already out there? I play so rarely that I miss a lots of fun…

in is the Advanced dyson ship worth for a sci officer on a Vesta? Comment by darshie101 September 2014

Thanks for your suggestion :) Indeed the energy build is a problem; that's why on my vesta I have the aux cannons; so I just leave low power turrets on it, while most of the damage is coming from sci powers and max out the aux energy level give max power to the aux cannons; which is a win-win for a science vessel :) So…

Yeah, I saw the pack and the new ship, altho can't make a comparison with the Vesta yet. I am not spending 130 dollars for the pack for sure ;) I will probably wait for the ship to show up on the Cstore. So the Dyson ship is nothing exceptional, compared to the Vesta? In this case I keep it :)

Yeah, found that post, and replied asking for the profile, but automagically, when I went to check it now, it was closed and my post deleted. Guess there is someone that does not want that Saitek joystick will be used with STO ? :)

in Use of Saitek X52 Throttle Comment by darshie101 October 2013

Thanks for your insight. Basically the problem is that they keybind does no recognize the variation in the potentiometer of the throttle unit...it can sense when the throttle is between 0 (lower position) and 85% (almost upper position); it seems that the control has some sort of switch for the afterburner, so when you…

in Use of Saitek X52 Throttle Comment by darshie101 October 2013

I just gave up on them; filed a complaint against all the major companies that does customer service surveys; alerted the BBB; filed a formal complaint against the company and forwarded to all the game related magazines and companies, that has contact with them, about their methods, and the fact that if they don't care,…

in Is anyone getting zen from peanut labs? Comment by darshie101 October 2013

Thanks for your reply. So the analog stick and throttle are recognized? My concern is not the button binding, but the binding of the Q and E to the analog X+ and X-....if the game does not allow to assign the throttle to an analog , it won't work (I was told on another forum to ask here, because there they told me that…

in Any throttle control or similar to be used in STO? Comment by darshie101 September 2013

You are evil....Now I want a build like that to try it out :) BTW is there a way to play on tribble with various setups? I've noticed that once you copy your toon there, and use the money, there is no way to reset them

in Damage type, weapons and setup for a Vesta Comment by darshie101 September 2013

I do not understand why there are no different build and setup for PVP and PVE. There is nothing bad in having some weapons that are more effective; just avoid to put them in PVP and everybody is happy. In the same way that you have setup for your energy levels, they could add a setup to save your PVE and PVP build. I…

in Damage type, weapons and setup for a Vesta Comment by darshie101 August 2013

Thanks; so the ones from the defera missions are basically not useful, other than for the crafting item on defera....I went trough all the missions once, so I guess I will just skip defera from now on, other than for the easy omega marks (a couple fo hours doing defera missions harvest quite a lot of marks). I am at tier 2…

in Any use for the borg items from Defera? Comment by darshie101 August 2013

That works because you had them in the inventory/bank; I guess if you commit them is done :(

in Do the pearls stays in your account for next year event? Comment by darshie101 August 2013

This is interesting: you use only cannons in front and turrets in the back, this gives you the most firepower in forward position. So the tetryon is basically only to lower the shields; then it is useless once they are down? For the Borg I have the anti-borg weapons, but it gives 1000 radiation damage only in 7.4% of the…

in Damage type, weapons and setup for a Vesta Comment by darshie101 July 2013

Thanks guys, but your Q photos are already committed in an event, or are in your inventory? (I never even looked at the winter event, did the one the first year and got bored with the race on the icy track) That may be a problem if they decided that you keep only what you have in the inventory, while whoever already…

in Do the pearls stays in your account for next year event? Comment by darshie101 July 2013

Thanks guys! But if I keep them in attack mode; there are times when they just start to attack another target, once that the target blows up; I really wish that there was a specific prohibition for pets to attack static targets (generators and such), while they can go wild as long as they want with spheres, probes and…

in carrier user: how to not TRIBBLE up STF borg missions Comment by darshie101 July 2013

Problem solved...I had to restart the game 2-3 times and finally it started. The speed thou is not that different form the one that I would get using parallels; I guess the main problem are the graphic drivers, which under emulation won't give the same performances as the card in bootcamp. Useful for quick assignment to…

in Unofficial Mac Version (New Thread) Comment by darshie101 July 2013

I am giving this a try, since I hate to restart the machine every time that I want to play STO (which is basically the only game, now that LOTRO is on mac too, that force me to boot in bootcamp my mac). The installation went well, but the game just get stuck at the loading screen. It pass the Cryptic loading screen, then…

in Unofficial Mac Version (New Thread) Comment by darshie101 July 2013

Same here; but this is on the main server, not on tribble :(

in Can't finish Cleaning House Comment by darshie101 May 2013

Forgot to mention that I am a lifetimer, so I get zen as monthly allowance; that's why I was asking for suggestions about the fleet ships vs what I can get at the store. So far I didn't put a dime in for the ships (unless you consider the uber expense in teh beginning, when I spent 300 dollars for the membership and 80 for…

in fleet ships worth to get? Comment by darshie101 April 2013

Thanks for your reply. My point was just to find out if it is something to invest on....I play not that much, and while I enjoy to go around spending time with other people in the kin, it still requires time to gather resources and such...if you play 24/7 it is not a big deal a couple of extra hours; but if you are like…

Sounds good :) BTW the URL is http://ufplanets.com, there is a ufp.com but is not a STO fleet LOL @mimey2: What's the url of your fleet?
