This is one of those things that everyone says they want, until their ship goes boom. This is one of those things that players think they can handle, until your entire team fails because one player went boom. Then the TRIBBLE storm comes down on that player. Or perhaps it was not that player's fault, but another team…
Due to shared cooldowns between similar abilities for any given officer (for example, my beam fire at will shares a cooldown with my beam overload), having more boff slots might not be as much of an advantage as it first appears. A Lt.-Com ability is indeed nice to have, as some abilities are only available at that rank or…
I am more than a little surprised that this hasnt already been done. Considering that we can already cross faction on a number of other STFs. Considering that the "war" is supposedly over. Considering that the whole war thing was never really very Star Trek (and more likely an influence from another popular MMO).…
Lag, glitches, bugs, and having all my performance settings completely re-set again so I can spend another hour or so figuring out where the anti-alias slider is again, or where the texture mapping options are But other than that, I am pretty optimistic about this expansion, and look forward to the new shiny things coming…
Perhaps, but in the general vernacular (the form of a language that a particular group of speakers use naturally, especially in informal situations) is such that obsolete does indeed mean useless.
Better ship interiors. Having missions (and stories) that take place entirely inside the ship. Removal of all master system displays on all (or most) bridge/ship interiors and have that MSD replaced with a generic display of any kind. Include the conference room (already in the game and used on some missions), and the…
I don't even want to think about what that means when I 'donate' hundreds of duty officers to a fleet project, never for them to be seen ever again ...:eek:
This is all just my opinion based on my experiments with various load outs for this ship. Other players here with much more experience than I might have different opinions and you ought to review their opinions as well. However, that being said, I'll gladly share mine. Forward: (Dyson) Photon Torpedo. 2 x Dual Beam banks.…
Final thought: People gravitate towards MMOs because they generally offer significantly more options in how our character looks and what his-her abilities are. Our ships in this game are extensions of our characters. Anything that offers greater freedom to express those characters (or ships) is a good thing overall to any…
But I am not asking for a T5 connie that seems to bring out so much emotion on both sides. I am asking for a circular primary hull and elongated nacelles. They already exist in the game on other ships. The Ambassador has a circular primary hull. The Avenger (non elite version) has high placed elongated nacelles. I am…
I think what some of us are trying to say here is that we like the aesthetics of the original series. You don?t have to give us the Constitution class, but allowing us to fly some ships whose design is reflective of that aesthetic can not be a bad thing. And I do not think CBS said no to any of that.
Here is what they could do. Make a new ship with the aesthetics of the connie in mind, but give it a 'modern' look. Circular saucer section with tube shaped elongated engineering hull and long sweptback high mounted nacelles, but have twin pylons to mount the saucer section to the engineering hull and modern detailing.…
EVERYTHING is a Nemesis plot! (still missing CoH in a huge way... but whatever...):( Secondly, I too would love to have the new ship interiors. The current one for Fed is a little on the large side (as in it doesn't fit inside my ship... unless I am using Time Lord technology.)
How would you know? You know nothing about me. See? There you go again, making assumptions. (Is it OK for you to make assumptions, while other people should not?) Anyway, do not take this too seriously. I don't really care what you think. Double standards just bother me, that's all.
You mean like when you assumed what I was thinking when you criticized my remarks about the T5 connie? That because I wrote that (paraphrased), "if such a level of contempt and complaining is what it takes to get one in the game, then I do not want it", and you then assumed that I must believe that complaining would…
Then why say it? Clearly you DO want to criticize the game otherwise you would not have written that. (right back at ya, babe.) With that out of the way, I would start STO-2 with proper ship interiors that would allow for missions to take place in. A good portion of the stories in Trek take place entirely on the ship, and…
I always thought it went down like this... Human scientist: and with the warp engines moved to the sides of the ship attached to long pylons, we can get another 45 to 50 percent speed increase while maintaining a more stable warp field around the ship. Vulcan scientist: ummm... well... we never thought of that. You see,…
I think that the best thing about the Avenger is her versatility. I do not have one specific weapon/boff/console load-out for my ship. For example, if I am doing Vault Ensnared, I will equip 3 forward beams, 3 rear, and use a lot of FAW to clean up those pesky little fighter ships that slow you down from getting to that…
Dead Horse # (whatever it is we are up to now...) Please allow for us to use other bridges or interiors for ships that currently do not allow that option (i.e. Kumari ). It costs Cryptic nothing to allow us to do this, and it might encourage sales on bridge packs. That and the Kumari bridge looks like a dentist's office.
The Odyssey (tac) that I bought last year. It's been replaced by my Ambassador and then more recently by my Avenger. Both the Ambassador and the Avenger have significantly better turn rates, and that really hurt my enjoyment of the Oddy, regardless of the hull strength difference. It's too bad, as I do really like the look…
Try, no try, there is only do! By that what I really mean as long as I am having fun, I will keep playing. I got real life stuff for when I want to feel a true sense of accomplishment.
Mostly my own music created and written by me. I have a few pulse pounding pieces that get me fired up to tear through some space battles and stuff. Nothing I am comfortable sharing quite just yet, but perhaps after I?ve refined them a little I?ll set them up for free downloads.
For me, my immersion is about walking around my ship like a BOSS. (This is not a complaint, and for best results this post should be read in a happy voice. ) That being said, I would love to see revamped Federation ship interiors. I would also like to have the conference room (seen on some missions) included on my ship…
Here is my work around: Once I use my consumable, I then un-equip the item from my ship/character, then re-equip it and it will reappear in the tray. You can do this during combat, and while taking hits.
