We need more freighters! Ok, rant aside, I think I kind of understand (part of) starcruiser's angst. There is a tremendous difference between a new skin, and an entirely new design. New skin is a new coat of paint, different window configurations, and maybe a cupholder. Maybe. New designs would incorporate new nacelles and…
Yeah, that is a bit of an understatement. lol I had warp plasma I could dump thanks to a bridge officer ability, and the mines I love dragging behind me. But that is where the fun ended. The beginning sucked, in kind of a funny way. "Hey look! Evil doers are firing some kind of projectile at that planet. Not quite in…
and I found it, and was able to do the mission. Thank you both. Interesting mission, one that left me with mixed impressions. The ground-based stuff was annoying with Martok constantly thinking he had to park himself directly in front of me. I got to the point where I kinda wanted to hit him in the back of his head with…
Someone told me that this mission would be do-able by everyone, starting at level 11. On a f2p account, I am having a hard time believing that, as my level 12 KDF toon is not cleared to go to the alpha quadrant, and does not have the dil to make the jump.
Exactly. As a new player who is not in a position to put money into the game, this is not a viable option for me. I am sure there are many who can make use of this. As it is, I did manage to get the Defiant for my Fed toon. I think I can get the KDF ship today, but my level 15 Rom unfortunately gets nothing. Wish they had…
Just started playing STO in time to miss out on the winter ship thing, and now this. Don't have time to sit and grind toons all the way to 50 for a "giveaway". Real life just won't allow that. So instead of a giveaway, perhaps they should have at least said up front "Have a level 50 toon to claim a ship, or don't worry…
Hey there. I started playing about a week and a half ago (first time player here). I broke down 2 days ago and bought a monthly sub and then about 5 minutes later bought $10 worth of zen. The sub went through just fine. However, the zen is a different story. It has been 2 days, and I still do not have my zen. Here is what…
Awesome, coldnapalm! Thanks for the tips. I don't have anything yet in the way of resources, but the different teams and tactics is a huge help! Now to go see how badly I have been hosing myself... LOL
Gotcha. Thanks again! This game has quite the learning curve, I see. Thankfully, the community seems to be very helpful, or at least incredibly tolerant of noobs such as myself. LOL
LOL Thanks, soulless! Well, made the third toon (Orion, KDF Science). Interestingly enough, this new toon has a mission that has, among other rewards, a pet reward. Wondering if the story arc would have been any different if I had gone straight Klingon, but I doubt it. My 2 Starfleet toons haven't seen pets, and ship-wise,…
Ahhhh... Makes sense. Thank you for the heads-up! Now to go grind some levels... lol Are these packs account-usable, or limited to whichever character claims them?
Ok, I found the pack, but it says I am restricted from claiming it. My main is lvl 6 and I have a lvl 5 alt. Main is Starfleet, and the alt is TOS. Is there a level restriction on these? Oddly, I was able to claim 2 tribble items...
Thanks, Ren! Next time I am in game, I will add you! Once I figure out how, of course... LOL (Tried to send you an in-game mail, but apparently I have to wait 12 more hours before I am allowed to do that... LOL)
Very cool. Ugh, so much to learn. LOL Have 5 character slots, have made 2 (TOS engineer, and Starfleet Tactical). May try out the Klingon and Romulan factions on 2 new toons. Still getting a feel for it all. Enjoying the tutorial and the first mission sets right after so far. One of these days I might even try to join a…
New player here (with so much to learn!). Been looking at a few different fleets and am not sure if I want to start out solo until I learn enough to not sound like a complete moron, or if I want to join a fleet and hope for the best. A different Arc game I played last year (won't mention names), I joined the game and…
