If you are able to slot the samsar cruiser project, you can get more qmendations the next time there is an event that allows you to get a ship, and put them into the project. I believe you can also buy qmendations from the lobi store. If you don't have access to the project, though, I don't think you can get the ship…

Before they bombarded the founders' homeworld, Lovok told Tain that the computer estimated that the fleet would be able to destroy the mantle of the planet within 5 hours, and Tain did not feel that there was anything out of the ordinary with that prediction. Also, the "pilot" did not appear to be surprised when she said…

Even if it is ridiculous, it doesn't preclude the fact that it happened in canon. Also, science fiction allows for ridiculous stories, and what appears to be ridiculous now may not be ridiculous in 300+ years. For instance, in 1820, human civilisation is estimated to have used only 10-20 exajoules per year. By the year…

Sorry, I just realised that my previous statement "Thus, if a civilisation has the technology to produce at least 10^26 watts without building a Dyson sphere, why would it want to create a Dyson sphere (that's incredibly wasteful)" was contradictory, as the iconians for that very description... What I meant was that the…

Hi emacsheadroom, I found this from the transcript of The Die is Cast. "LOVOK: We know that the Founders' planet lies at approximately these coordinates within the Omarion nebula. As you can see, there are no Jem'Hadar bases nearby. This means that even if the Founders did send out a distress call, it would take at least…

The Kardashev scale I'd based on how much energy a civilisation can produce and use, not on whether they can harness the power of stars. The energy required to vaporise an earth sized planet can be quantified, so I used it as a benchmark to guess at the minimum amount of energy the federation is able to generate. Some…

In addition, we don't actually know what mechanism the federation users in their warp cores and torpedoes. Although we know that antimatter is involved, they may not solely use matter-antimatter reactions to power their ships and weapons (the matter-antimatter reaction may be a starter reaction, like the starter motor in a…

In the ds9 episode the die is cast, a fleet of Romulan and cardassian ships planned to destroy the founders' homeworld within a few hours. Although that didn't actually happen due to the intervention of the founders, the Romulan and cardassians did not feel that it was out of the ordinary for them to be able to perform…

A relatively small fleet (<50) of federation starships should be able to completely vaporise a planet around the size of the earth within a few hours though, so I believe the federation as a whole should at least be able to produce as much energy as a star the size of the sun. Of course, this is all conjecture.

Hi Farranor, perhaps you can try this bridge officer power setup? http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=samsar_0

Jeff, the OP was using a Vesta, which isn't really meant to be a tank with its relatively low hull hp. I understand that some cruisers have difficulties tanking the Borg, but I think they just need the appropriate equipment and strategies to be able to do so. Farronor, I usually use miracle worker, the samsar console and…

I personally welcome this change, because it brings back the need for tanks in the game who can take damage for the team. A while back, people were saying that engineers and engineering abilities were no longer useful, as the game's meta had become extremely dps-oriented. I think this change allows engineers, and ships…

Hi, I'm not really an expert on science ships, but I've come up against some of them in pvp. The posts above are quite correct; the scryer you fought against probably used ionic turbulence. This skill has recently been fixed, so the only thing you have to do now to counter it is to avoid the ionic turbulence pulse (it's…
