  • Let me back you up here. Happened to me on TWO characters that I have recently been playing, and I expect it will happen again. I want to say it has something to do with combat. I will be testing a few theories with this next crew I run through - but if I don't fight at all and just let the away team handle it I tend to…
  • Really appreciate your insight. And I am sorry it took a while to get these up; during the week my schedule is pretty busy.
  • Shadowfang, you are the Person! Thanks! I'm just going to post one link - you can scroll the other images as you see fit. The missing rear weapon was a mine layer - it was NOT purple, I think it was a Rare X - I already sold that thing off. You'll also note the core systems (engines, shields, etc) are nothing to write home…
  • That is some seriously insightful advice DarkJeff! Thanks so much for providing it, I will be taking it to heart!
  • Agreed. Originally I was worried this was going to be the experience in EVERY STF, and that's what had me ticked off. How am I supposed to earn the rewards I need to upgrade if I'm going to get AFK'd for nothing. All that being said, I think we've clubbed this seal to mush and I'm moving on. I *did* promise pictures, and…
  • Caveat up front: I don't remember the EXACTS. After the run I went into panic mode, bought the T6 and went more DPS-focused. Character build is still the same though. I was using one or two X, two XII and the rest were XI. All purples - I opened a LOT of temporal lock boxes trying to get the Welles timeship (got it) and…
  • Solid, and thank you. I was reading the advice in the Presidio/Oddyssey thread after posting mine and that became a solid option. Your input is appreciated and will most likely become my group build. As for the Yamato, I was thinking less wave motion gun and more the "takes a beating but keeps on fighting", but the lance…
  • Thanks for the solid advice. I've not played in a while (its already gotten me in trouble in another thread, and perhaps rightly so) and I appreciate the Academy link. Edit: Do you use Driver Coil at all? I'm thinking anything spent there would be better diverted to buffing combat skills, with Quantum Slipstream and…
  • You will note that I haven't played in a long time and I've been very up-front about this. I really don't know how long, but I basically just popped in to check out the Delta Recruit stuff (the last time I played much was when the Temporal lock boxes were in play). I don't disagree with you at all in the analysis, I'm just…
  • That probably makes the most sense. I wonder what happened to trigger it? Oh well, moving on ...
  • Thank you, and I apologize for not being thoroughly clear. I don't know what the preferred method of engagement is, but what I do is come in until around 7k off the target, and then start a left or right orbit, Firing at Will. From there it's all auto fire, and I start watching my own and the groups shield and hull health.…
  • DPS is always a given; I think that is pretty obvious. I just think we tended more to the "MMO Gold Standard" or tank-heals-dps more back then. And on the subject of back then, I wasn't trying to imply knowledge or expertise due to long time in the game; I'm trying to say "I haven't played in a day or two." One point you…
  • Now see, I am ALL FOR AFKers to get their just deserts! I surely didn't enter the STF to leach at all, I came in to do my fair share of fighting. I really wish I had combatlog set, so I could post and evaluate results. While I was TRIBBLE around here and filling out tickets the game timed out and I lost even the combat tab…
  • I appreciate your scepticism, but you don't know me at all, so please don't question my integrity. I don't ride the forums so there's no value in me starting some sort of pity party here. I'm also not eleven (actually closer to five times that value) and having some sort of emotionally distorted tirade. I can only tell you…
  • The queue lasted 4 minutes, so I am going to assume it was the Uber Team/DPS issue. As a recent Delta recruit I don't have long-term knowledge of a DPS imbalance. I simply noted that I have completed all of my Reputation queues and now need specialized equipment tokens. I played the regular queues to learn the fights, and…
  • Perhaps, but nothing under the AFK Penalty search or the first three pages of this Feedback thread showed anything comparable. I do agree that if I lived on the STO forums I probably would have an in-depth history on this, but I don't live on the forums. I would also propose that the Feedback forum is not specifically for…
  • Hey ddesjardins; I am really sorry you have gotten the response that you have. Unfortunately, the STO populace has become full of cynical, self-absorbed goobs that can only sneer down on everyone else's experience. The gaming environment has changed very bitterly since release, and it makes me sad. We used to cheer along…
  • I love my Chimera, and it's sister destroyer on the KDF side. I think the secret gem behind this ship isn't its superiority in any particular instance, but rather, it's flexibility during the same mission. Generic stations, swapping BOFFs on the fly, on-demand transformation from damage to survivability, and you have a…
  • Looking forward to trying this out! Looks like a lot of fun!
