While I agree with you about BOFFs having to "grow" together with their captain somehow... for the time being I have been "growing them" through saving their looks at the tailor and switching them with a purple one trained with the skills I wanted later on: Basically: I do not bother training them more than it is…
Oh - don't take me wrong. I would LOVE to have a stand-alone Cardassian faction and I'd pay real money for that... just, rather than not having them in any shape, I'd prefer a buyable race unlock. Right now I have set myself on having a level 50 toon of each faction... gotta admit I don't care much for upper-end content…
Really, I think that for most of us a buyable, unlockable Cardassian species from the C-Store would do the trick. Since we have plenty of Fed Cardassian DOFFs I (am I the only collector who would try and have a crew of most Cardies, and already started saving them?) I guess it would be aligned with Starfleet... Or can the…
...one thing I wish, though: that Cryptic made a saved alien customized face loadable by the character creator when in the alien editor section of another faction, disregarding the uniform info. :cool: I have a couple of aliens originally created for Fed which I really would like to start with as Romulan!
I have just noticed the same issue... However, just a few hours ago, I had been able to save and load outfits without any issues! Since it happened after I left the character editor on idle for a while, I thought something may have gone wrong because of a time-out issue of some kind, so I closed and reopened the game and…
That would be awesome to say the least. Yeah, they should make it so that after purchasing the unlockable species, when an alien toon has ALL traits matching up the Cardassian species profile, a player could decide to permanently convert it. And the same for BOFFs as well... The desire to have a toon that states…
Actually, that feature will be available to ALL the players *regardless of their subscription status* when the new expansion/latest upgrade goes live. So really, no need to take a subscription, at least unless you are interested in other features (and the C-points to get them)!
ABSOLUTELY. Used to WoW, I expected the Romulans to become available ONLY if you bought at least the Starter Pack... which would have bugged me quite a bit. Instead it's all free, so I think I may buy it after all (well sorry, the Legacy one is simply beyond my finances) to thank the Dev team. of the good work. :D
WOAH... now you are making me think of the Elite/Frontier videogames from the 80's and 90's (wonder if anybody else out here is old enough to have played them?) in which you started as a civilian on a small craft to find your own way around the stars... Needless to say, I loved them. :D For those interested in space-game…
Same here. So I bought the game (pre-ordered it!) in the hope playable Cardassians would make an appearance soon enough. But then I completely lost interest when I figured that wasn't going to happen any time soon. *crosses both fingers and toes for additional luck* ...and they have just remade the KDF entrance quest too.…
And it's a HUGE amount for the casual player... :( But I may get the "Starter" one if just to thank the development team for giving us the pleasure of playing a Romulan. :) ...although I still wish I could get to make Remans too. Couldn't care for the package's ships, admittedly, since I play only every now and then and…
Lol, thanks. I suppose that could be considered an achievement, in some way. :o Uuuhm. Yes. I *DO* understand what you say there and I do promise I will rest my case after saying this... But. But even right now we have buyable Klingon Feds, buyable Joined Trill KDFs, tonnes of liberated Borgs, Aliens which as a matter of…
Or, for the lazy people: skip the faction-changing storyline by buying a very fancy faction token (one per account ever, only, with no way back) from the C-store. :D The "renegade" toon should in the best case get to keep ONE standard-type (read: free upon gaining ranks) starship and ONE of their BOFF, which would result…
Ah, no worries... just dumping random thoughts here, just in case some bits (if any at all) may be deemed useful or insightful by anyone. Another way of addressing the issue, though, could be enabling a "one time only" faction switch upon maxing the character level. That could involve an optional quest-chain story-line…
...which I only was able to see on the beta half an hour ago. Pretty cool indeed! If they can make me like playing a KDF toon, then I rest my case... ...and yet. That "Alien" tag really keeps bugging me. At the very least, they could enable the players to buy a "name change" for the race and their homeworld, just as if it…
I suppose what I just don't like and would like a workaround for as a RP-oriented player is that damned "Alien" tag. No matter what the toon LOOKS like, it bugs me that the race doesn't have a proper name. Perhaps a much, much easier workaround would be for the game to AUTOMATICALLY switch the "Alien" tag for a…
LOL You know, now I am starting to think the Alien creator needs to have more animal-like parts to enable us creating a Rat-Like captain with four favorite Turtle BOFFs... :D
Yeppers. Also, the rep you lost with the "other" faction would grow exponentially the farthest you got into "favor" with the other. Say, for example, that there were three levels of "membership" Tier 1 - from 1 to 100 rep points, for each 1 point you gain here, you lost 1 there. Tier 2 - from 101 to 1001, for each 1 point…
Absolutely agree. In WoW they have done it for years and years already, having reputation with each faction built so that you would lose reputation with one faction while you gained it with the other.... I do not see why something similar should not be doable for STO.
Well, for a starter the "splinter faction" should be joinable only by players who have reached level 50. And then I believe it could be coded that they simply aren't allowed to shoot anyone below their level, or if they do, that they get a "debuff" that actually temporarily lowers theil level (and skills) to something…
Honestly, I can hardly see that as trolling. If you play a small "evil" splinter faction, it is understandable that you might shoot one of your enemies at will or that an enemy player might or might not decide to shoot you on sight, simply because of that.... Besides, I can imagine that if a "Section 31" player started…
