That sounds like some good fun. Admittedly, I'm rusty on private PVP setups, but I recall you can only have two sides, correct? Because after readinh your suggestion, the first thing that popped into my head was "... then the damn Romulans pick right then to show up..." :)
-
Well, IMO I figure the simpler you keep it, the more likely people are to participate; if a person has to change their play style too much (by limiting abilities or putting a maximum limit on grade of equipment) they're more then likely gonna skip it. People like their BOffs. People like their grape gear. So aside from the…

I was wondering if there'd be any interest in a "legacy" PvP event? By "Legacy", what I mean is that it would be team-based and along faction/racial lines (Romulans would be counted as their own faction for this purpose). You would have to use faction-specific craft, although with weaponry you could be a little more…

Run one or two RCS consoles, 2 Emergency Power to Shields (I favor defense, but you coukd also go for Emergency Power to Engines) and 2 Aux to Dampners. The rest to your tastes. Get in the habit of using Battle Cloak. A2Damps can be used while cloaked. This, combined with the turn bonus while cloaked will have The Big D…

I'd like to see a set of non-repeatable story missions revolving around the exchange of tech between the Romulan Republic and KDF/UFP allies. Once completed, ONE of your ships could recieve a non-console cloak (those ships that already possess cloak would be upgraded to Battle Cloak). Otherwise, I'm happy with the current…

I've got a Fed Engineer in a Patrol Escort I've desperately been trying to work as a torpedo boat, but have been getting lack-luster results from. I've got Torp DOffs and tried multiple weapons combinations, using the Breen Set, Cluster Torps, Rapid-fire Transphasics, and x4 Transphasic Consoles. At one point I replaced…

Ok, assuming I've engagesd the brain muscle in the right gear, the trick would be in the way the singularity was formed? So that it could feed off of antimatter vs collapsing? A method to create a "negative reality" black hole? Owe... think I sprained something...
-
That explanation makes sense to my non-physicist, gamer brain. Thank you for taking the time to throw it out there. I knew about the radiation spout, but didn't know size or roration had an effext on what type or how much radiation was jetted. I'm not sure what would happen if matter/antimatter was dropped into a…
-
My apologies, as I am not a physicist, theoretical or otherwise. I do know what antimatter is, though. What I do not know is the "science" behind how a quantum singularity core is supposed to provide power in ST canon, or how antimatter would effect such a core. Anyway, I look forward to reviewing the interview. Thank you,…

Figures, just when I try and log on. Yet I continue to give them money... /hangs head in shame

Question: Will we see any KDF missions revolving around the "technology exchange" portion of the KDF/Romulun Republic alliance? For example, a series of missions, that once completed (non-repeatable) you could have your vessel retrofitted with a non-console-based cloaking device (would upgrade existing cloak to battle…
-
That last part is a big one. After six seconds of hitting, it kills crew. Period. Not just a chance. It does this TWICE per torp if I'm reading the tool tip right (from memory, anyway). I can see these weapons giving those beefy cruiser drivers in PvP a stroke, although I have yet to test this theory. I really like them.…
-
Yup, it sucks being the middle child. :( Anyone know of any good KDF Foundry missions with lots of Klingon-flavored goodness? :)
-
One thing I noticed is that the tooltip doesn't show a proc chance for the plasma burn on torpedoes when you have the Romulan science +plasma consoles loaded. Is this a tooltip bug, or do the consoles not effect kinetic weapons?
-
Out of curiosity, have you tried using Transphasics? I've been tinkering with one, but unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get it to perform like I think it should. Now, this could be due to my lack of end-game rep gear/lockbox/lobi items, but even with that... /shrugs I'm running a Patrol Escort with the Breen space…
-
OK, how about this (this is just off the top of my head, and I apologize if someone else has already suggested this): First, just completely get rid of the base power drain. Second, make a toggle ability called "Charge Singularity Capacitor." With this ability activated, you incur a -X power drain to all systems (could be…
-
Yup, crawling through "intro_rom.bik" as well. And why is it everytime I exit game, the pre-patch keeps re-patching the full 5 gigs?
-
So, um, yeah... makes my head hurt. DR for tactical consoles sounds good, but again, that'd take a lot of end-game re-balancing... and the Tears of the Escort Drivers would drown everyone at Cryptic HQ...
-
At first glance, I'd be all for this sort of change. Devil's in the details, though... and it'd be a whole lot of work which I seriously doubt anyone at Cryptic (especially with PWE pulling the purse strings) would want to implement...
-
OK, so, let me make sure I understand this. Currently, Tac slots do not suffer from diminishing returns <?>. If you followed the above math (and I suck at math, by the way), a Tactical vessel with 5 tactical slots that loaded up 5 +25% damage-type consoles of the same type would have a maximum bonus of around 48.43%…

Don't forget to make use of the improved maneuverability that the cloak provides...

Bite is NOT built in. I had to choose it as one of my trait slots when I respecced my Gorn Engineer. Also, when a really big Gorn wields a bat'leth, it's too tiny -- he can't even hold it with two hands due to the spacing of the shoulders/hands, but he still does the two-handed bat'leth stance. Looks really goofy. Can we…
-
I just like to think of it as when you choose your side, the other Romulans that choose the opposing faction are Tal Shiar. For example, I went KDF with mine. The Feds are convinced by Sela that the Romulan Republic faction are just a bunch of terrorists, and by allying with the KDF that proves it. So the Feds think they…
-
So, are there any plans to separate the STO, Neverwinter, and Champions Online data centers into their own, non-shared clusters with one itsy bitsy chat server to link all three? I plan on going back to Gold when LoR goes gold (for the bank, costume, and respec tokens while I level my Romulan), and on top of that just the…
-
Well, if the system is clean of any malware/loggers, and the password wasn't super easy to guess, there's only two likely possibilities left, IMO. Cryptic compromise OR you use the same email address and/or login & password for STO as you use for other games that may have been compromised... But I believe I read that a few…
-
Still possible, just really really hard. They'd have to compromise your mobile device.
-
Could be something as simple as the person received the gold spam email (I even received one a couple of days ago), and decided to visit the website just to see it, for curiosity's sake. Second they hit the site, boom. System compromised. Buying energy credits: not even once.
-
Take a shot every time you receive a massive lag spike. Take three shots if others also experienced it. Down the bottle when the server crashes.
-
Chances are, your toon is already copied. I've logged in, played with a respec, deleted the toon, logged out, recopied, logged back in, and a new fresh copy was already there -- no wait. But hey, TRIBBLE could happen that might make it take two hours... they're just coverin' their office rollychair warmers...
-
Give all cruisers an inherent resist to weapons drain (akin to always-on weak Nadion), make Nadion and EPS abilities a field effect, maybe with reduced cooldown. Edit: make Miracle Worker useable on others. second edit: by "field" I mean a point-blank area effect sphere around the engineers ship with a duration as long as…
