^pvp'er arrgogance, that build is useful for everything except PvP premade matches against good teams. It easily pushes 4.xk dps, can tank, can heal, can move fast. Useful in any ESTF or Fleet Event, and not a total dud in PvP either. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that in premade PvP with optimized teams, most…

If this thread was about that ensign ... yeah, then you might have my support for it. Well, at least for the Fleet version, the Gal-R is fine as it is. Fine? Yes, fine. Every cruiser has a slightly different role and focus. The Galaxy happens to be the cruiser chosen for a more Heal&Support-focused layout, not one of the…

There's three reasons any PvPer would ever shoot at a cruiser: - To find out if it's piloted by a noob (if it isn't, you won't make a dent, and will stop after a few seconds to find easier prey) - To kill it if it got seperated into a 1v4 or 1v5 situation - Anytime for a free kill if it is piloted by a noob. The Galaxy-R…

Am I supposed to answer with anything but L2P! Cruisers don't die! Base HP make no difference on how tanky you are - that's near entirely determined by your heal/regenerate/damred abilities. ? Not that there's much of a reason to use Saucer Sep in PvP - the only real reason to do so would be so you can Kirk - and Kirk'ing…

How to end any Galaxy-R thread: L2P! Use the f'ing Saucer Seperation console! Not only does the Galaxy-R out-turn the Negh'var, the Galaxy-R also has nearly the same firepower (one tac console less, but higher weapon power)! How to end any Galaxy-X thread: L2P! Use f'ing Aux2ID! Sacrificing a bit of utility turns a…

Mate, if you'd ever used a parser you'd know that the [borg] proc made up about 2-4% of your total dps over an average STF. :P Far from what the tooltip promised. But also quite in line with every other mod (which usually end up at 1-2%), actually quite good even - at least in STFs. So while it wasn't "working as…
-
I'm not pretending anything - I quite clearly stated what I'll do if even a quarter of this TRIBBLE goes live: QUIT. You might be fine doing nothing but grinding for a year to ... basically get back to where I'm now: access to MK XII gear (not even getting the gear itself, just access). And then another year or two to…
-
I'll answer that one: First, those two weeks number is a "sick at home, no-lifing"-number. For casual play, I'd be quite a bit longer, so no need to worry to run out of stuff to do with the old system. Second, I like playing alts. Each combination of ship class and character career plays differently, and has different…
-
pretty much that. I'll rather enjoy the last couple days before Season 7: Quit in Disgust goes live, than waste it on Tribble. 'Might change my mind if someone reports that they removed the new Dil sinks, but I've pretty much given up hope on that.
-
QFT. I don't know why they even bother continuing with Neverwinter development - by the time that's going into beta, their rep will have hit rock-bottom.
-
'Can't even do that, since they're going to slap the dil-tax on the DOff system - so starbase won't get to tier 3, so no fleet weapons. This whole patch will eat up more dil than you can earn in months. Pointless. Not even crafts, since you'd have to save up dil for all the other sinks. And EC prices for crafts will…
-
So, instead of it taking: less than two week to outfit a ship in full MK XII borg, M.A.C.O. shield and 3/4 Assimilated, getting ~80k spare Dil in the process as well as some spare copies of the remaining M.A.C.O. and Omega parts, some spare weapons, and enough EDC for a MK XI ground set ... it's now going to cost: 360k…

TBH, the same is true for Escorts. It's just a bit more intuitiv, since Escorts are advertised as dps-ships, so most people get that part right. With Escorts, you need to do your homework to build them to survive. Still, there's quite a few people who can't even get more dps out of them than a shuttle, as they run with…

That's only true for people who joined after the PWE takeover. For veterans, it's ... pretty much guaranteed that their forum name is different from their @-name. That ... or Roach is a seer and knew two years ahead that Crypric would get swallowed up, and didn't just take "bitemepwe" as nick after the new forum screwed up…

*Offers outstretched hand* Good Game. Even if a bit short. // Yes, I considered this "sports". A duel of wits. And meimeitoo didn't come unarmed, which I can respect. In real life, this would be the time to offer to continue the discussion over a beer. Let's be honest, if you make a proposal that's cutting deep into the…
-
While that's quite a good advice to follow, it's not a surefire way. Well, at least unless you stay at excactly the right angle to it, too, there seems to be an actual safespot where it can't shoot back while you can shoot at it. ... well, if a dev reads this, then this might not last much longer, it looks a lot like an…

If you read the first post completly (yes, I know, it's long, but ...), you'd have found that excactly this case is mentioned there. Currently, these one- and two-shot attacks are the only balancing mechanic left to PvE. To get rid of these, and replace them with more sane threats from NPC, something has to give - you…

I'll just answer to this part, as the rest kind of hinges on it: We've been discussing this for a while in half a dozen threads in the Fed Gameplay and Shipyard - threads that were made complaining that Cruisers suck and don't deal damage. Truth though is: The P2W Cruisers are very close in dps output to Escorts. Top…
-
This is actually a pretty good description of the current state, yes. Of course the current course also means that non-P2W Sci and Cruisers also get shafted, hard. They're as much paper as the Escorts if we go down this road. Which leaves nothing but P2W, for offense as well as for defense. There's one thing with P2W-games…
-
Ummm ... how about you try eSTF for a change? Go tank Donatra in an Escort without getting cross-healed. Or try a Gateway. Then come back. Or maybe PvP? Some foucs fire from three opponents? A Cruiser can do that - an Escort without crosss-healing? *BOOM*! Uhhh, and Mobius ... you DO know that "Destroyer" means…
-
#1A: The reason that Escorts don't need Cruisers much as tanks is actually just what I'm proposing to eliminate: cross-healing. Without cross-healing, Escorts go *boom*, they can't tank forever. #1B: You'd still interacting with others, just as much as now. Interactions would use actual TALK though, coordinating…

He was using 8xSpiral Wave Disruptor, and using a DEM build. 'Had the pleasure to fly another couple eSTF with him now, this time with his Tac/Bug - that one clocked in at pretty constant low 8k'ish, which is pretty damn good for an escort. Cruisers scale with weapon power. Massively. Not only does it add more damage to…
-
This is the current "Cruisers suck"-whine thread, right? I'm getting a bit lost, too many of them ... Anyway, 'had a very interesting experience in ISE, and I thought I'd share: A Cruiser, piloted by an Engineer, and a Fed at that ... out-dps'ed everyone. My Fed-Tac's TRIBBLE'scort (Mk Xi purple weapons, blue consoles, not…

On a carrier, you don't have to choose. You can run 2xEPtS, 2xTSS AND 2xHE without breaking a sweat. That's why I didn't think I'd need to mention them. But yes, on carriers HE actually helps with the healing part, my Vo'quv doesn't disagree in that regard. ;)

#1: learn to broadside. Use Beam Arrays fore and aft, with maybe a torp thrown in for good measure. A broadside of 6 Beam Arrays (more if you have a Cruiser with additional weapon power boni - each ~25 weapon power over 125 allows for one additional beam to be effective) can be pretty devastating if done right. #2: as you…
-
this. You don't run HE for the heals, you run it for the cleanse effect. Plasma fires, Borg shield neutralizers. 2x HE is not a bad choice. In fact I use this version on ships with only two sci slots (Assault Cruiser, Vor'cha). Though ... on any ship that has three or more sci slots, I'd rather go for 2xTSS + 1xHE, for the…

In the Eta Eridani sector, you might also want to have a chat with a freighter called Sh'mar, close to the Zibal system. Together with the Traelus Satelite Repair and the Alhena Defense Contract, this is the trinity of Eta Eridani dilithium dailies. Otherwise, if you generally like this kind of missions, you want to have a…
