  • +1 To this, trying to login from Switzerland and keep getting the error "Unable to Authenticate, Connection to the account server timed out" Out of interest are the other swiss users on Swisscom? Couldnt log in 12 hours ago with the same error, and now the same error persists. Bites as its a public holiday tomorrow.
  • This happened again on the weekend in the Klingon Academy. Three bubble shields at the entrance to the building that houses the lore terminal, banks etc. No one could get in or out. Simple fix was to change to instances, but still it shouldn't be allowed. Given that some posted the handles of players (against T&C's) in…
  • I'm still new here also, so I can understand your frustration on this. Maybe a question for you, but you are at least level 15? When you hit level 15 you receive a bundle of crafting DOFFs to do these. But be warned they can be used on normal DOFF missions (iirc). You can (I think) also replicate these using the replicator…
  • Thanks for the replies :) OK, so KCB it is, and I need to start crafting beams... I don't think any of the Beams have decent modifiers, most are [Acc] and [CritH] Do I have to get a lvl2 Purple AP Beam with [CritD][CritD] or will any quality (as long as it has the correct modifiers) suffice, and I just hope for quality…
  • Acoording to the STO wiki: "Although Warbirds form the backbone of the Romulan military, characters of the Romulan Republic may also fly any tier 1-4 ship of their respective ally - the Federation or the Klingon Empire. For tiers 5 and 6, only Warbirds and cross-faction ships are available to Romulan players." My bad, that…
  • I can't answer it fully as I don't play either. However.... There are far more Federation Escort ships than Warbirds to choose from. Each will have its own subtle differences from others with regards to layouts, hull / shield strengths etc. The T6 Escort comes with one of the most sort after (according to Boomer) abilities…
  • If you're new (the OP) I'm guessing you don't have the event torp (which was AntiProton damage type) and at the risk of teaching you to suck eggs FAW doesn't work with DHCs. The Attack Pattern Beta / FAW works as well as it does because you (potentially) hit everything (all 360 degrees assuming beams front and back) around…
  • I'm new as well, but I can at least write what I've learnt so far. If you're going to use 3x DHC you are going to need something very fast and very nimble (turning rate) as the 45 degree firing cone for those is tiny. You'll also need a way to get out of any form of CC. Torps get a lot of bad press at end game as they're…
  • I'm in that grey area between newb and mostly harmless. Have a Mat'Ha with a level 60 science captain. At the moment I am running all Polaron load out (basically the first full set of one weapon type I obtained). From this, I have 3xBA and 2xBB at the front, 1 Polaron Turret and 1 Torp at the back. All tact slots (except…
  • To the OP, I'm new to the game also, I dinged 60 last week. I didnt use either a T5-U or a T6, just the ship I was given at 40. Yes I got blown up more than once, but never to the point of it being a brick wall. I think only two missions in the Delta Quadrant forced me to go back and rethink my tactics. I will also say…
  • Thanks for the answers :) Yeah I have the BOFF reward from the mission reward, but the Delta Ops Pack is beyond my purse strings at the moment. Not sure where I get the Romulan Operative from (still learning) nor where stacking Efficient is better than Pirate. Judging from your answer, I also need to work out how to get…
  • So, if I am understanding this thread correct, as a KDF player I want nothing but Nausicaan BOFF's to stack the piracy skill? Maybe a Liberated Borg or Lethean BOFF to add 1 or two stack of Efficient? Seems kinda sad not to have a use for all the other races when in Space.
  • Don't get why players (and even the developers) think the levelling process is slow.... I came back to the game in January, I play an average of 1-2 hours a day. I read quests, watch the animated cut scenes, and go out of my way to collect mats (in other words I havent "speed levelled"). I've gone back and repeated…
  • Thanks for the information, it makes interesting reading. I've purchased a console from the Vaadwar box set and I have the leech one from KDF ship. Have at the moment the Jem'Hadar 3pc space set and Breen 3pc set so far, not sure if they're of much use so far. Nearly forgot I have the Omni directional BA and Warp Core from…
  • Apols to hijack the thread pre se. As a new lvl 59 KDF Science Captain of about 6 weeks of gaming, where do I start with science build in a dyson (zen) ship. All the guides I am finding are 2-3 years old. Ship builds are slightly more common, but everyone just talks about either a drain or torp build with no real details…
  • Firstly big thanks to all those that took the time and effort to respond. Secondly it would seem to be very fortuitous timing given the current ship sale. So answering some of the points above. Yes, I am still getting to grips with the game, but I am a MMO veteran of many years :) The mirror Neghvar was 5million EC on the…
