  • Cryptic will have 4(5?) 'big' events spaced throughout the year that will fill the Event bar. (If I remember right or if its not been changed) Each event gives 1/3(1/4?) of the bar, so there is some leeway for players that might miss some of the events. The first time they tried this type of thing, everyone had the same…
  • Unless you can target a ship on the far side of a pack of ships, Call Emergency Artillery is silly, imo. I'd rework it to either target the area when called with some radius or just give it a fixed distance the ships travel while bombing.
  • They do prequels because they see the popularity of TOS/TNG and just want to leech off of that since they have no creativity. Continuing the story is one of the things I respect Cryptic for doing. And they did a decent job handling the stupidity the Bad Robot movies and Tv shows threw at them.
  • C-store ships are $30. And I only consider buying them when on sale. These are ~$50 each (at their lowest) so big nope to me. I've got too many ships I've paid for sitting around gathering dust, so my need/desire for new ones lessen with every purchase. Ask me again in 29 months when my 500 Zen stipend accrues to 15000. :D
  • Pros* Free to Play * Its Star Trek * Cryptic is a better storyteller than CBS/Bad Robot Cons* Lockboxes * Promoboxes * R&D Promoboxes * RNG * Non-Account bound ships and gear * Constant events in lieu of actual content * Insane currencies inflation
  • Yeah, have not bothered with non-combat pets for years now. Waste of my limited space. I'd assume the easiest way would be a Reclaim page like we have for event stuff. Not perfect, but at least its something we know they can do already.
  • I'm all for 'donate and get X'. What I'm not gonna do is donate for a raffle ticket. I'm done being kicked in the nether-regions by RNGesus. Blizzard just did something similar. 'If we reach $X donated you get a pet.' I found that distasteful too. But I'd believe they'll reach THAT goal since most WoW players are suckers…
  • "T6 Risian Cruiser ought to be a carrier." OMG, the fighters could be dudes on hoverboards... :D
  • Just about any ship can do anything so unless you are chasing that extra 1% something, the ship's appearance is the main thing, imo.
  • It was (is?) OP last time I used it. But that was awhile ago. It's a fun thing to use. I like the goofy weapons.
  • I'd not go so far as aweful; I'd go lackluster. It's only claim to fame is that the Fed side had NO carriers, so when it came out people who wanted a carrier were all over it. As with most in this game, newer is better. So unless you just love the looks, I'd say pass. Last I checked the frigate hangers were garbage. So not…
  • * I'm hesitant to get a one-off promo ship that's then stuck on one character forever. But then I really don't play my alt toons much anymore anyway... * I've got 2200 lobi now and none of the ships there are really thrilling me. (Plus that locked to one character thing like promo ships) But lobi is also good for other…
  • It'd be nice if those Free T6 Ship tokens would work on T5 ships too or could be traded in for T5 ones. (A 2:1 ratio would be nice, like the Phoenix tokens do) ;) While I assume most wouldn't bother to do so, there are a couple T5 ships I'd still like to get but ain't gonna spend Zen on. OR just add a 4th option to this…
  • The 6.5 value was an eyebrow raiser for sure. If it's a bit beefier than the normal Vorcha then 9.5 is fine. Cryptic gets so many typos in their blogs I default to "it's a typo" over "OMG ITS SO SLOW!!!!!" Though seriously, please get someone to proofread blogs before posting. It'd save everyone a lot of drama.
  • Plus, unlike many melee weapons this one has a built in charge so you can get to your target faster than normal running. Once I saw I needed 2500 kills I dumped the Cardassian I had started (I like the racial trait Recalled Tactics) and made a Ferasan so I could get Pounce to go along with Lunge and be flying all over the…
  • Yeah Yes. Unless there's some requirement needed before it shows up?
  • The Fed is now a Klingon-Ally ;)
  • I don't need another toon, but the Recruit perks always make it worth it. I was gonna make another Jem'hadar bank toon, I guess my old KDF toon can be that now.
  • With essentially no PvP in this game, the 2 factions were mostly pointless. This is the only logical thing to do. Does this mean their homeworlds are accessible to other factions too?
  • I figure Cryptic has to do Picard stuff (or its a low hanging fruit of content), but I have zero interest in anything related to either horrible CBS All Access show. I will be happy when those shows are officially cancelled.
  • No disrespect intended. But I would have never expected STO to make it so long. I heaved a sigh of relief when my LTS hit the 'it paid for itself' mark. :D (And I bought that the 2nd month it was released) Look at all the other games that have come and gone. I mean how many games can say they've been around more than a…
  • I'd imagine it will run a lot better on a ps5. Just having an SSD will be a huge boost.
  • No, I would have grabbed it then if it had been 50%. Cause I know I had >15000 Zen at that time. STOwiki says the Playstation version had it for 50% off, but I'm on PC. And the best we've had is 35%.
  • People say it runs fine when there's not alot of people doing it. I did it at 11am-noon and it was awful! By the time you did it, it was probably not as many people trying to do it.
  • Yes, wherever that TFO is housed (oldest server you have?) it can't handle the strain! Super-lag and it just stops spawning ships! And this isn't a new problem! It does this every time its the Universal Endeavor. I had to do it 2x to get 7 ships rescued. And thanks for the Leaver Penalty for leaving a broken TFO that…
  • I was looking at my ships today and saw one toon has a T5-U Avenger. And it's upgradeable to 'X' :D I guess if I really wanted to I could make it a T5-UX? Would that be better or worse than upgrading an Arbiter to T6X?
  • For account wide ships its not too bad. One (or 2) runs of the Ninth Rule patrol will get the trait unlocked. As for single character bound ships; I wish they were account bound so you could drop them in your account bank and swap to other alts to get the trait. I've given up on buying non-Cstore ships. Just not worth it…
  • Don't even need ARC for those. The website sells Zen and I use www.arcgames.com/en/redeem/ for promo codes.
  • I just stick my competitive impulse engines on everything. Then I don't worry so much about turn rates.
  • Excluding the silly Mudd's Market 'discounts', I don't think I've ever seen 50% off of ships. 20%-25% is their standard sale and 35% seems to be the introductory price. I agree the 10-pack isn't bad. ($19.50 for $30 ships) The other packs are not a good value. All those little extra add-ons just aren't worth what Cryptic…
