Possibly one of the more annoying TFO's out there.. First part - Easy: Just clear the NPC's that spawn. protect the npc's in the lower room and clear all the spawns until the timer runs down. Second Part- Annoying: Stuck between 2 x forcefields whilst having to figure out the correct sequence of consoles to press to be…

There will always be one ship that you go back to or you find you pilot the most. That's the bad boy you want to upgrade. Just be patient as the last thing you want to do is blow an upgrade token on a ship that you don't ever use! Give it at least a week or two and you'll know which one you want to concentrate on.

Would have to be 75% off at least. Even with the 35% discount, still looking at £50!!! Not worth it in my opinion. £10-£15 maybe.. £20 at a push. And Better design planning would have integrated the 6 universal consoles into the ship as with all 6 consoles slotted, you really "gimp" your setup! I tried ages ago for a laugh…
-
Would be nice to own the Legendary Scimitar but as others have stated, NOT for that price! In the UK, you're looking at around £80 !!! Useless parts of the bundle (for me): * 6 universal consoles - Pointless if you already own the other 6 ships. * 3 Infinity Promo Romulan Survivor Duty Officer Packs * TOS Era Romulan…

yeah sorry, meant the upgrade token - my bad! Hahaha Still didn't receive one though!!! Checked bank, mail, ect.. nothing.. o.O
-
No Promo code in the mail - says to just log into the game to claim the free token! Also checked email for phishing/scam, ect. first and it's genuine (although I never click any links on an email unless it's one I'm expecting!)

Completely agree. After returning to the game after a few years, the whole UI looks shocking and I'm very surprised it hasn't been updated! More customization is needed, whether it's additional action bars, changing the look and feel of the map or just how the whole overall UI looks so it's more similar to the layouts we…

just re-installed the game and having the same issue!!! Had an authentication code for logging onto the website - that was pretty much sent and received straight away to my inbox. For the game though.. Nothing!!! Same for Neverwinter.. asking for an authentication code but nothing has been received!!
-
only managed to get into the game once so far since returning: 1. Deleted the d3d11 dll file 2. modified the gamespref file from isDx11Enabled 1 to isDx11Enabled 0 3. started game in safe mode 4. had to delete the dx11 dll file again before hitting engage on the loader Only worked the once though. Preference file…

You can't balance "this" game on PvP when it's primarily a PvE game. There's also an insufficient number of people who PvP compared to those that PvE. End result is PWE/Cryptic aren't going to p*ss off the main player base when things are wrong in PvP because the majority of these users never PvP. It's been stated many…

Personally, I'd change the power levels to start with. Your Main role is not DPS so you're wasting power there. You want to divert power to Aux and shields with the remaining going engines and weapons. Next up, your Boff abilities. If you're dying too quick then you need to look at abilities that will keep you alive.…

Try This Thread instead.

The ISE space guide is somewhat dated & you'll find the following is what you will likely encounter: Kill the initial Cube & 2 Spheres. How quickly this is done is normally a good guide as to how the rest of the encounter will proceed. Head over to either the left or right cube (normally left). Kill Cube This is where it…

Though we may like to think of ourselves as Civilised and the top species on the planet, this is far from the truth.. Murder, cheating, Stealing, Wealth are but a few things that corrupt our World. We call ourselves civilised yet most countries you have to pay for the basic necessities just to stay alive.. to Live…

The choice of Cannons vs Beams really comes down to play style and what you're happy (or comfortable) with using. If you're happy zipping about and can handle the very narrow firing arc of the DHC's and enjoy getting right in the enemies face, these are they way to go and use the information others have posted in this…
-
Without wanting to de-rail this thread (and apologies to those reading), You have completely missed the point.. again!! My original post (minus quotes) This part pretty much says it all about why people in this game DON'T PvP or ever want to PvP. YOU MUST Grind out the best gear to best competitive in PvP?? Maybe for PvE…
-
I've posted on a similar topic to this and personally, I find Phasers to be fine in PvE and PvP. One of my characters is running about in an Excelsior and the Original Mk XII Beam Arrays with the [borg] proc. Against npc's solo, I have noticed that their shields will go offline for a few seconds or they suddenly stop…
-
These DDos attacks always make me smile. Why? Because they are actually very easy to prevent. Annoying as they may be though, they don't actually do any physical harm except take down servers for a while.. It's the back door Hacks to steal personal details - they're the ones that concern me as this shows a severe lack of…
-
Tut, tut - So you cheated then? There is a reason why I said no Doffs and no Traits. And if you're smart, you can actually pick up some Boffs without Space Passive perks. Now go sit in the corner for an hour ;) Expensive white gear? Seriously, move away from the exchange and/or vendors, go blow some npc's up and you'll be…

Phasers are great against npc's and in PvP - However, they do suck against things such as structures.. It's just one of those things.. good for a few things, rubbish at others! It's not really a bug though - each damage type has its upside & downside. For me personally, I know I'll rip ships to shreds... Structures, I tend…

Read the main post again - Op says "After Mk 8" :rolleyes: But to the op, I run the Mk XII Beams on an Excelsior on one of my characters - Admittedly, they have the original [borg] proc from way before the Rep system was introduced (and yes, they do proc as well) yet I'm doing fine. Perhaps you need to look more into your…

Never really tried the Mogai but owning the Ar'kif, this is a very fun (if somewhat fragile) ship to pilot. Totally different to the Scimmy and if you have the console set, you can make it even more of a Glass Cannon than without them fitted (Annihilation mode FT *BOOM* (though that could be either you or them…
-
I'm guessing that last bit is a spelling error... because you do have a battle cloak and singularity powers as well Anyhow, I think people are missing the point to this threads origin - the Double D, whilst an ok Ship, just falls flat compared to the other Romulan ships of its level out there. Yes, it can tank, yes it can…

This quote: And this quote: Those two comments right at the beginning of this thread pretty much sums up how to do well in PvP. PvP in its current state ultimately comes down to who has the best gear/Ship/Boff/Doff/Rep reward passives combo. Player skill is pretty much non existent in it's current form. Don't believe me?…
-
The only reason these sellers exist is because people are stupid enough to buy from them! Same people are then usually the ones who have their accounts TRIBBLE :rolleyes: Simplest solution is: 1. DON'T BUY FROM THEM 2. Report & put on your Block / Ignore List
-
That quote pretty much says it all.. I'd hazard a guess that most roms are rolled as tac so jumping into this ship is like a big wtf / headache moment! This is more the fault, as you rightly point out, of cryptic than the player. If you roll Sci, just let the player select Sci based ships, Tac, tact based ships & eng,…

Is STO my favourite MMO? Sadly, no. Whilst the game is ok, it lacks that special something which some of the other, more popular titles have. Sitting down and thinking what I actually enjoy doing in Game, the list comes down to: Space combat - 5-20 man PvE maps Playing with ship Setups - Consoles & Boff layouts Doff…
-
I've just got one as well... So far, overall impression is that it'll probably end up in dry dock and I'll revert back to Scimitar and Ar'Kif. Still experimenting with Boff layouts, consoles and weapons though and can usually find a gem of a set up hidden somewhere. Don't really want to do the usual A2B build as I find…
-
Yeah, seems to be a pattern there :eek: Problem with the Double D is it can do thinks ok but why have ok when there's other ships out there that do the same.. just so much better and a lot cheaper as well!! Think if you look back to some of the original posts on the D'D, most asked for thing was to improve its turn rate.…

Oh my - I missed out the original "ELITE" - oh the shame!! With those awesome wire gfx, hundreds of systems, ability to trade, and for its time, a very smart AI :cool:
