I used to die on my Escorts in PvE story missions. Then I stopped using a rainbow boat and optimized my BOff skills. Now I tank pretty much everything and anything in front of me dies in a few seconds. It makes switching to my Klingon character really painful because she's so much slower in her cruiser.
If in any way you break the lock on the enemy, no matter how briefly, the autoshoot will end and you have to re-initiate it. Very annoying in intense space battles.
Later on you'll need to use Rally Points in the story to get your BOffs to stand on certain triggers to solve puzzles/activate doors. It's also useful for setting traps in strategic locations/building emplacements before assaulting.
Why does a vice-admiral have to do stuff that normally an ensign would have to do? The issue is a very deep and complex one, and I shall do my best to explain. Now remember, at this time the Federation and the Klingon Empire are at war. New Romulus as an ally would greatly alter the current balance of power between these…
I'm getting DCed in bunches. I'll have 5 minutes where i DC as soon as I log in, and then 5 minutes where I don't DC at all, and then it DCs a bunch again.
