When it comes to smaller cruisers versus larger cruisers size and mass can't have a significant impact on performance reasons being gameplay balance. A cruiser needs to be capable of performing the basic gameplay functions of any other cruiser regardless of size. Basic gameplay of a cruiser being tanking whatever the enemy…
It's not a bait and switch, The ToS clearly states that cryptic reserves the right to make any alterations to any and all items, systems, etc which they deem fit. A bait and switch is a company advertises goods or services at what appears to be a bargain price with the intention of not selling what was advertised. Either…
Video game devs have never really bothered to have coherent timelines, and as little sense as it may make cryptic have put more effort into theirs than most.
You don't want more than 1 torpedo launcher, if your doing beam arrays than you want them to be the same energy type (all phaser, disruptor, and so on) so you can use Tactical console to boost the damage of one energy type. I think the tier 4 defiant class has 4 forward weapon slots and 2 rear slots so 3 beams and a…
In all likelihood those rare bridge officers for example the hierarchy guy don't actually have a body under their uniforms, and putting different uniforms on would at best result in invisible body parts like no arms on a uniform with short sleeves because the body textures don't exist for him. So it wouldn't be as easy as…
Mmo's require people to play them continuously for long periods of time in order to keep the servers running. due to this repeatable content and the need to grind it is the lifeblood of mmo game-play. Without those things no mmo could survive. Take the repeatable grind out of an mmo and people only log in when there is…
I have played a great many mmo's by many different developers and there are far worse companies to develop and publish an mmo than Cryptic and PWE. Much worse, terrifyingly worse, horrifyingly worse companies. The kind of terror nightmares are spawned from.
Implausible timelines are not limited to sto, Star Trek in general has never had a very coherent timeline and that's not even counting all the time travel. Of course you add in all of the time travel stories through the T.V. series, movies, and sto on top of that and it's going to make any effort to try and figure out…
You know, if I remember correctly the original Klingon BoP in the search for Spock was supposed to have originally been a stolen Romulan ship, but the scene where that was revealed got cut from the movie. Also unless i'm mistaken most of the time we see Klingon ships on screen it's battle-cruisers with Bop's appearing…
Have you seen what happens on the rare occasion when Cryptic actually tries to deviate from more traditional designs for Fed, KDF, and Rom ships? People go nuts, they act like Cryptic has committed some unholy sin upon the Star Trek universe. A good many people in the Trek fandom are rigid and obtuse, never wanting…
In the first video after checking under the vehicle the person goes to the rear and picks an object up off the ground. This object was probably large enough that they felt the impact or it made enough of a bang for them to investigate. The object likely also reflected or the vehicles headlights caused a shadow that looked…
I've never bought a fleet ship module with zen, there's plenty of them on the exchange for usually between 15-20 mil energy credits. 100 mil energy credits and you can get yourself a fleet ship without even spending any zen on the C-store version if it's a ship only that charater is going to use, like I intend to do for…
So you posted in this thread to demean people who find making backstories for their in game characters fun? My main character Claire is a human liberated borg and was assimilated during a Starfleet Academy trip to a far flung Federation colony world which was still in the early stages of development. The transport ship she…
The way it's worded would make me think it isn't a bug, yes it says Temporal Battlecruiser but every T-5 ship console that is usable on a T-6 ship lists the T-6 version of the ship in the list of ships. The saucer separation console for example has (T6) exploration cruiser on the list of ships able to use is along with…
It's an MMO, due to constant content updates every mmo is without exception in a state of permanent open beta. When an MMO stops updating content for a long enough period of time to start squashing every bug in the game is when you need to be worried about the games future. For that can be an indication of a game going…
The OP asked a stupid question and when people called him out on his stupid question he tried to disguise it in philosophical nonsense, and you fell for it hook line and sinker. So now your trying to defend the philosophical nonsense and are completely unwilling to see the stupid question hiding behind it.
The console doesn't have a subscription, there is a bundle on the console c-store which is called lifetime subscription but it is not an actual sub. The Lifetime subscription bundle on console is just a great big expensive bundle that has all of the lifetime sub perks and all of the veteran sub rewards included, it does…
