I've always been partial to the physical attacks: Leg Sweep & Lunge, seems to be decent and has a fun animations. For engineers: Minefield is very strong, but mobs have to wander into it. There are a couple aoe holds/pulls that Sci can do. Seismic one and gravity slow ones. Get the Winter Wonderland ground powers. They are…
Congratulations to the winner. If Cryptic farmed out more missions and made them 'official' maybe we'd get more than 6 missions a year. Honestly, giving someone any ship of their choice costs Cryptic nothing, yet is of value to the player/creater, and they get more product. Find the best foundry people and have them do…
STO anniversary is coming in Feb, that is your next chance for a free ship. Good 'value' ships are the Tier 5 Mirror Universe ships, and some of the T5 lockbox ships. All around 5-6M EC. Just go to the Rewards tab of the Exchange and type in 'Special Req' and that bring up ships. If you choose to see Rares you will see the…
I did like the improved CE during the event. While not a total 'fix' to massive DPS, its better than everyone just soaking all the aoe damage and just pew pewing w/o any regard to the mechanics. its not so much people need to read it, there have been many times that by the time I actually get moving/zoned in, half the team…
there are quite a few duty officer missions that give you rare and very rare boffs. You just have look around major hubs for them to pop up. If you have some Dilithium you can get Boffs from different fleet holdings. Boff traits are fixed, there is no upgrading them.
I was getting tired of it seeming that every cruiser that came out was 5/3. :) Though at an inertia of 60, you could argue its not really a cruiser. Its more an escort with a 4/4 layout. The T6 NX-01 & Fleet Advanced Escort (T6) has the same rating while the Reliant Advanced Light Cruiser (also a pilot ship) has a 40. The…
Yeah, temporal powers aren't the best out there. I understand the theme of getting the Connie to T6 by being a temporal look-a-like ship essentially. Personally, I'd rather it be an intel ship. At this point your best hope is that the DSC Connie is put in the game at a not stupid price point. Or settle for the JJ-prise,…
While part of a set (with crappy bonuses so they can be ignored), I like the Aegis shield. Its craftable, so you can find it on the Exchange. So no Dil needed. And... its a Bind on Account set so you can use it and then when you get one you like better, you can pass it off to another of your characters. I have mine on my…
I finally got the Recon Destroyers. Didn't think they were worth full price so waited for the good sale to show up. Got more for my KDF than Fed toon. Ships are fine, can't tell if the console has been nerfed, sorry 'rebalanced' yet, ;) and the trait is very niche to those die hard players that want to be a team…
I never said the holistic type of advice was less valuable or important. Creating assumptions about others can be bad for you and them; especially when all you have to go by is black and white text on a page.
Got into one of those a few weeks ago. Thank God someone knew how to do it! Platforms and turning off borg terminals in the right order. You'd never make that without someone knowing what to do.
I thought it was because there is no Superior Bite? So Gorn can't get 2 Superior traits, and end up Rare at best. I thought that was the explanation I heard one time. I could be completely wrong.
