The majority of the Romulan ships are way too large as it is. The D'deridex is massive compared to what it looked like in TNG.
-
You people do realize that you can use the T2 Exeter at end game for about 95% of the content, even STFs? Just have to build it right and you can have your end game Connie. :)
-
To be honest the overall community in STO is pretty much one of the worst in all of MMOs. People would rather troll and start fights in chat, hardly any of them are that helpful and the best example is how in every STF you have level 50s need rolling on Mk V and VI items that they can't possibly need while no one ever uses…

Nope, the only time as a Fed you can fly a Klingon ship is in the Doomsday machine mission and Night of the Comet I believe. In the Doomsday Machine one you actually do fly a BoP but in Night of the Comet it's just a holographic ship skin of a D-7 with your normal loadout.
-
Dear Cryptic, please fix your forking servers already. I can understand issues like this in an MMO 3-4 years ago, but this is inexcusable. This last expansion has done nothing but wreck the game.
-
This in a nutshell. Have the Recluse on my main Engineer and it's amazing.
-
Depends on if you are talking for PVE or PVP. For PVE a standard Tetryon build will most certainly strip shields quickly, but PVP is a different animal.
-
Carrier you are basically a sitting brick in space with big shields and hull, but with fighter ships that can go out and cause a lot of havoc. I've never flown the Caitain, only have experience in the Tholian Recluse and Jem Dreadnought, but carriers can be a lot of fun, you just have to figure out what style you want to…
-
Thought this was pretty easy now, as most have figured out the trick of parking above the CE where it cant' fire and having a few people kite and tank the shards while everyone else blasts away from the safe zone. Of course organization in a PuG in STO is beyond hilarious, so that may be leading to a lot of your…
-
Only thing I don't like about the Tholians is the disruption torpedo spam, and the fact that my thermionic torp launcher seems to be 10% as effective as theirs...it seems like every fleet action or red alert I get in with the Tholians is just them spamming torp spread 3 every 5 seconds with those damn torpedoes. That…
-
Something new at end game, like an entirely new system of revamped STFs for the Borg or missions at 50 that are new and exciting. Honestly the end game in STO is abysmal and just becomes a boring grindfest. Wouldn't mind seeing them bump the level cap to 55 or 60 to give everyone some new things to do once they hit Vice…
-
I honestly miss the old STF grind. I was able to get Borg/MACO/Omega sets for most of my alts in a relative timely fashion. This new systems is for the birds unless you can devote 5-6 hours a night of play time to this game which is just unrealistic. I've given up on even trying to get MACO/Omega/Borg or any set really and…
-
I run one fore and aft with 2-pieces from the Breen set for the Transphasic bonus damage on one of my science captains and they can really dish out some massive damage if you time it right. Great on a shield stripping build as well.
-
I've run a 3-piece Breen on a few ships while grinding marks for the other sets and I can tell you it does make a big difference, especially with the cluster mine torpedoes, those do a ton of damage with the 2-piece bonus compared to without it. I was glad they actually gave the Breen shields a bit of a graphics change.
-
Either need or pass, the greed option in this game is completely pointless unless you are in a pre-arranged group with your friends or fleet and everyone follows the system. The best is when I see a group of lvl 50s in a Fleet Action needing on green or blue gear that isn't even close to their level, like Mk II or some…
-
Well that sucks... Hypothetical question, if you have say 60 million ECs and your sub drops to silver, do you lose 50 million ECs or does it "hold" them until you re-sub or buy the cap increase? I'll be honest, if it doesn't that is total BS. At least I only lost out on a couple million so no big deal I guess...
-
Decided to go with the Jem Dreadnought, just felt like a better fit for my Engineer who needed a good lock box ship as I am still saving up some ECs for Fleet Modules. Don't have it geared out yet but it seems to hold its own pretty well. Right now just running 3 Dual Cannons up front with a transphasic cluster launcher…
-
Won't happen since it's close to the Connie and for some reason they are just adamant about these ships not being T5 while everything else is. Honestly I think Cryptic has the green light for the Connie/Exeter at T5 and Fleet version but it's their trump card if the game ever fails completely. Just imagine that people are…
-
Well Voyager is one of the "hero" ships like the Defiant in DS9 and hence can do whatever it wants according to the writers. One of the things that always drove me nuts about the shows. How many battles did Voyager take major damage and she somehow made it through 6-7 years without any major refits or repairs. As for…
-
Would be kind of nice to have more of a rapid fire beam like the Enterprise uses in Star Trek II. I always thought those were kind of a bridge between the phaser turrets/cannons seen on JJ's Enterprise and the longer duration beam blasts of the Enterprise D and TNG ships. The phasers used in WoK were a bit more rapid fire…
-
You can sort of cobble this ship together or at least something that looks similar if you have the Imperial skin for the Assault Cruiser refit. http://crimsonvlkyrie.deviantart.com/art/Into-Darkness-Look-alike-377421201 http://crimsonvlkyrie.deviantart.com/art/Into-Darkness-Look-alike-2-377422389

The bonus marks weekends seem to bring out the best in the worst on this game, but I think the Fleet Alert really needs to be tweaked so there is a version for everyone, sort of how you can go into Starbase 24 and contribute even when you are a low level. As it currently stands, really anyone below Captain'ish really gimps…
-
I don't have the link handy but there is a fan-funded project going on right now to create a similar game to COH, but I honestly don't think it will ever happen. I played the game since beta and always went back to it, until STO came out and caught my attention for a bit. I know the graphics were a bit dated, but to me no…
-
Managed to get in one Fleet Action and then DC'd while map changing back to Sol system. Now I can't even load to character screen. Site and launcher both say server is up. *shrug*
-
The Assault Cruiser Refit and the Ambassador Retro-fit, and their respective fleet versions, are great cruisers to try out cannon builds on if you want to go that route, same goes for the Excelsior, which seems to be one of the few ships that always remains reliable no matter how many lockbox ships, patches and expansions…
-
I was excited when they put this set in, but in all honesty it's "meh" unless you are running into very specific situations which rarely occur and it's an underwhelming set vs. Maco/Borg/Aegis, etc. I really wish they would change some of these sets around so you'd see more than just cookie cutter builds, with only 1 or 2…
-
Solution to turn rate...get a tactical oriented cruiser and slot 8 turrets...or 6 turrets and 2 launchers. I thought this was a ridiculous idea but have seen a few people using these builds in STFs and Fleet Events and actually doing pretty darn well with it spamming cannon spread.
-
I honestly have no idea. I've opened over 60 of the Tal Shiar boxes and gotten 2 mirror ships out of that but that's it other than Duty officer packs galore and some nanite weapons. Only ship I've ever had drop for me was the Jem Escort Carrier and then I got the bug ship when they did the special in the fleet duty officer…
-
The patches aren't doing anything for the server disconnects which is driving me insane. I have not been able to play the game with any consistency since LOR came out. Had absolutely NO issues prior to release and now I server DC every time I try to log in to a character. Once I finally get into a character, I server DC on…
-
Go back and watch the opening battle between the Kelvin and the Narada, the Kelvin very obviously uses beam weapon phasers and not the cannon/bolt versions the Enterprise has later on in the film. So the old school beam phasers are in the movie, just not on the "hero" ship. You can blame the Defiant for that, since the…
