  • So if I may observe, this is going to lead to a power disparity between PC Players and Console players. PC Players can use the binds and macros inherent to the game to set a series of actions on a single button, (Often refferred to as the Hilbert Method, or Row 7), this is often combined with the Spacebar fire mechanism to…
  • Nope, it requires all THREE pieces, the Quad Cannon, the Cloaking Device, and the Defiant only Quantum Warhead Module, which limits only the Defiant class escorts to having battle cloak, a caveat I am fine with.
  • I play on a multi-screen rig, moving to the other screen resets my brightness down to 100% every single time. For me the brightness at 100% is nearly unplayable. I have to have the amounts at nearly 155% to get the details of an object to be visible in space. This isn't an issue with my screen, as I am using a fairly high…
  • And here in lies the problem your having lamyrs... your trying to build a forward firing ship, with ships build to broadside. 4/4 ships are designed for the Broadside style of play, where you coast around the enemy keeping them in the shared arc of your beams from fore and aft. You only bring the 45 degree angle of your…
  • I would love to have some of these... Kzinti Dreadnought http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/34469/580A452C3F42499DA22F34D3F8FD0973.jpg Escort http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060825072947/memoryalpha/en/images/9/95/Kzinti_vessel_c2150s.jpg Science Vessel…
  • Neelix was interning with the Tailor...
  • Came here to say, basically exactly this... STO is great, and is my favorite Star Trek game of all time, and definitely my favorite current game. With that said, CoH holds a near mythic spot in my heart that will never be filled by anything less, nor I think could it be filled again even by CoH which has lost a lot of the…
  • Eh, if there is no purpose behind it other then aesthetics, simply put an option to not display in the graphics settings. "Don't display other players Bridge Officers in Social Maps." That would kill a lag problem for the players experiencing it and let the kit monkies with the higher end computers look at each other's…
  • Eyep... We SEE the Defiant cloak in battle during the show, so it is not that far of a stretch to state that the Federation would be looking into adapting the cloak technology (now that they have free access to it with the Treaty of Algeron being dead) to once again render ships invisible mid combat. Having a cooldown…
  • I would love a full episode, even just a filler that has nothing to do with the overall story, our holodeck goes wrong, how many times has that happened seriously! Let it be a multiple choice at the beginning which decides the enemies and form we take, and reward at the end. Path 1: A holodeck adventure with the Captain as…
  • Trendy, as a piece of constructive criticism, I would agree that it needs a better weapon layout at T6, and for players to be expected to purchase it. We have quite a few options available now that offer far better weapon layouts with ships, both the Jem'hadar Dreadnought, and the Narcine Carrier both are set with 4/3. The…
  • I will place a third call for this. Melee is a widely used weapon group and it seems to have been ignored. Martial Mastery perhaps?
  • I voted yes, but I feel the need to explain. I would be willing to pay for a few specific things. New rooms I get to decide where they go, like Atriums, Stellar Cartography, a Holodeck, my Shuttlebay (different for class of ship), Torpedo Bay, and yes, a Space Walk on the Exterior of my Ship. I would pay for the ability to…
  • I would like to see the ability to have multiple options for Hanger Pets, with the peregrine being the baseline fighter craft, the Miranda being one frigate option available, the Rhode Island and the Sabre. The Miranda should be a beam based, balanced option, the Rhode Island should be beam and space magic based, with a…
  • I think a way that OP's concern could be addressed would be to open the random boxes up to dropping the Reputation Gear when leveling a reputation, and lowering all Rep gear's tier by 1. This is kind of a hybrid idea between how the system used to work with the MACO and Borg Adapted tech sets (before Reputation systems…
  • Yep and it's rarer then hell to find one on the open market too... ::grump::
  • I agree with the other voices in this thread that the writing was kind of on the wall for this one MeldrithPW. However, I do really, REALLY like the idea, of allowing us to gain a cross faction ship through Admiralty. Perhaps limit it to a cross check on people who have completed Diplomacy and the admiralty of the cross…
  • Excellent work all around. :D any news on when the Caitians will be able to enjoy those MACO helmets?
  • I have a suggestion to make dry dock truly exciting. Give us one dock instead of one per character. When a ship is put into dock by a character, it can be pulled out by a qualifying character (level/faction check). This could allow us to move ships over to other characters such as lock box ships that are otherwise not…
  • Thank you for the update, I will leave my slot open till it is fixed. Can we get an announcement in the patch notes when it is done and a watch for it under known issues? Thank you. Elvnsword
  • I have been looking at the lock boxes this way, as long as I am AT LEAST getting materials out of it and not DOFF packs, AGAIN I am a happy camper... if they would drop the Doff packs off the list entirely, (those of us who open the damn things even semi-regularly are COMPLETELY FULL ON DOFFs GUYS), then they would get…
  • I would rather see Pilot and Command abilities on the Defiant. Frankly speaking it fits the role the ship held in the show far more for her to be able to call for Emergency Artillery, call on where to concentrate firepower, and setting the Phalanx Formation, and rally locations are all hallmarks of how the Defiant acted…
  • Other options would be converting ground traits into space traits, and vice versa, though due to the differences, it wouldn't be a direct conversion. Examples: Space Trait : Telepathic Firing Assistance +100 Perception +5% Accuracy +0.5% Crit chance Space Trait : Aggressive Assault +1% damage +5% Threat Generation Ground…
  • I will do Elite setting with my fleet only, and I do the normal setting with PUGs.
  • The Galaxy X in the All Good Things timeline would have been a terror weapon, akin in some ways to the deathstar from Star Wars. In our STO timeline it is sufficiently neutered to not be quite so terrifying. Think on what we see it do. It fires two shots from a spinal lance cannon, and tears three fully armed and shielded…
  • It all harkens back to having the same genetic touchstones from the Founders. Yes, The Voth and Gorn could likely breed, if the Gorn ever found a female Voth or vice/versa the Voth ever captured a female Gorn. The genetic result would have a 1/5 chance of being breeding viable itself (capable of producing offspring) and…
  • I say let them use the right shoulder for Specialization the left for Fleet (as the left is currently fleet) on Starfleet Uniforms. Klingons should be pinned to a sash, and Romulans could be done on the Fleet Admiral Sashes they wear, as pins or embossment into the fabric.
  • I think the primary fix to this concern would be, imho, to allow for more customization as OP has suggested, but issue out a Uniform Guide with each major update (like Delta Rising, the Iconian War, and the new upcoming update) which states what the core Federation NPCs will be wearing with this update. Perhaps even give a…
  • As recently as 2008, during joint operations in Iraq, foriegn forces serving with the US Army would wear they're own uniforms, or be given the OPTION to wear the ACU with thier own nation's flag on the shoulder. When attached to a German unit for training my Tacsat group still wore our own US Uniforms and operated as a…
