I'm so very glad the maintenance occurs during my usual EST play time, which, I normally "try" to revolve around my work that consumes most of the day. If this becomes a constant theme I may have to re-think this whole thing, lol.
Wish granted, but, now you have to wear pink armor while waving flowers infront of phasers set on WTF mode. I wish ARC would give us an actual useful website without the meter stating that we have no use for a "wannabe steam"...
I chose Federation to have access to Federation ships that would meet my needs and desires through the leveling process. Don't get me wrong I love the cloaking devices and such, but, it is what it is. I plan on trying the turn over to Klingons at some point and see how it works out.
I have a funny feeling there would not be a chance for this kind of change to take place on this game due to the game mechanics, engine and the fact that the lacency is bad enough as it is with the amount of individuals utilizing "popular" PVE missions. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to see it, but, life is stranger than…
I'll be honest I also perfer phasers in general for the fact that you can knock out subsystems and utilize your aft components with a manuever to deal additional damage over time (dot).
