The only certain thing is that the soundtrack is going to be worse than last time. FLASH! AHAAAAAA
-
Yes, but there is no similarity to creep in what the Scimitar did to the maximum available power level.
-
Nope, it was just vaguely directed on the thread topic. I agree that it would be in the Trek tradition to just randomly string together cool words to make up an explanation. Something like that is even done in the cutscenes from the Reputation.
-
I'm currently sick, so I had the time to read through this thread. I just want to point out one thing: The fact that Star Trek utilizes technobabble has absolutely no correlation with science fiction "hardness". ST writers did lift a lot of vocabulary from real science (especially speculative things like Gravitons,…

Fed: Maelstrom class Patrol escort. I can understand if people think that it doesn't fit into the Federation's aesthetics, but I just like the design. KDF: Corsair flight-deck cruiser. It fits nearly perfectly from what I would expect from an orion pleasure cruise/piracy vessel. Only gripe is that it cannot equip dual…

No, the true reason why devs are hesitant to give us nice things, is that the community will exploit the s### out of any opening they can find. It gets even worth when the return is essentially zero. Seriously, who cares about crew.
-
No need for tactical consoles, if you have enough APB. Recluse can run up to 5 copies of APB3. No other ship can do that. Damagewise that allows you to give the competitors a close run. And in terms of tanking, you're still up there with with the best. The Recluse probably never was the absolute best damage dealer and get…

I agree. Too many Mk XI/XII guns look like toy guns. I know that the games are developed by different teams, but it would be nice if the devs could ask the guys over at Neverwinter for some hints on how to implement skin changes for weapons.
-
11 consoles, science-ship like shields, two lt cmds and turn rate 10? That's not power creep. It's an outright power jump.
-
I had critical successes sending Cardassians on officer exchange to Bajor and Bajorans to Cardassia.
-
I strongly disagree. Romulan Drone ships are far more than a mere distraction. The same applies to Mesh Weavers and JHAS. And there are also useful non-frigate pets like Elite Scorps and Yellowstones. The AI is dumb as a brick, but some pets have abilities that are powerful enough to make up for it. Regarding the Voth…

I'm normally an avid PvPer, who has done heavy PvP in most MMORPGs I've played. From this I do know the basics that hold over pretty much every game: It's a dog-eat-dog world and you should better bring a fully optimized build or suffer. The connected challenge is something I enjoy and when I commit to it I do it fully.…
-
Better yet: Gorn Carrier.:D Make it so. Please god, no. One hangar launching Drone Frigates is already crazy good. Two would be obscene.
-
I'm surprised to see how many people consider a Vo'Quv with a silly gimmick to be overpowered. Even with that 30% shield increase for the fleet version, that's still less shields than the Recluse.Speaking of which, the best carrier is already available to the federation. And it has frigates. But I do sympathize with people…
-
I am also quite fine with the Dil, EC and Fleet Mark rewards of the current system. And not having to buy my active doffs is good, too. Adding unique (not attainable without doffing) is going to attract unwanted attraction. And I don't want the doff system to be whined to hell. I do support an overhaul of some parts, like…
-
The Omega Force Carbine looks especially funny on a Gorn :P.
-
Actually, the diminishing returns on damage resists in STO aren't that bad. You have to remember, that 5% additional resist can have vastly different effectiveness, depending on whether they're added on top of a 0%, 45% or 90% baseline. If you calculate the numbers for the damage you'll receive (damage received=100% -…

Just got a crit on "Advanced Scouting Party - Allied Frontier (Subspace Fields)", it reads So it seems that some of the Iconians subspace-dwelling minions aren't native there.
-
If there was ever a phony war this so called Federation-Klingon war is one. It gets mentioned a few times, even plays a role in some episodes, but for the vast majority of play time it might never existed in the first place. It is time to drop the pretense and acknowledge that in practice there is no war worth the name.…
-
They could at least give a set bonus to the consoles. That's standard for the newer lockbox ships and would give a reason to equip them.
-
My TacScort actually pwns the **** out of CE scoring. It's a Warbird with the Valdore console. Counting overheals on shields is broken and should be fixed.
-
No, because I like being able to run GW or VM more than a second engineering lt cmd.
-
Fleet Corsair Retrofit, because it's pretty, has a hangar bay and an interesting BOFF layout.
-
For me it is completely the other way around: Making the setup of the fleet corsair different from the base version is much more interesting than base version + something. There are more than enough engineering cruisers around. I wouldn't have spend the modules on a tenth console, but it's rather the unique setup that made…
-
I agree with this assessment. And not because I don't want to see a Romulan faction, but because I want to see it done properly. I simply do not see how Cryptic's resources can do three factions justice, when they seem to struggle with doing two. The last thing I want is Romulans done as a copy-pasta job.
-
The attractiveness of the JHAS is that it is perhaps the best Escort available. And that isn't diminished at all. Access to exclusive pets was never advertised and didn't previously play a role in the evaluation of the JHAS. To use your analogy: People just expect the microwave, they bought, to work without having to have…
-
The Vo'Quv swaps a Bekk power for an additional Lt.Cmd. power. That isn't bad, but rather the opposite. You can make the argument that this only allows you access to 4 space traits through your BOFFS, but in terms of active powers it's an upgrade
-
Added Comments of mine. I'm not denying that the JH carrier has clear advantages, but there are trade-offs and I think these are quite substantial. I'm quite content with the higher Shield capacity of my Recluse. And I wouldn't want to lose the third Lt.Cmd. ability of "normal" carrier either. If the console would be good,…
-
The console doesn't have to be good, it could be another Tholian Tetryon Grid.
-
It's the same with the Advanced Scorpion Fighters (on the Recluse).
