  • I think I finally figured out why these are here! Put them into a lockbox, and they artificially raise the "average" value. From the Lockbox FAQ:
  • I have a similar problem with ESD and Delta Command. It seems graphics related since I am fine on my laptop but my desktop with a 680 crashes to desktop.
  • That is sad. I hope the reason is not to avoid "put it in the Delta Ops Pack" whining. Whenever it is released, you guys did a fantastic job on it.
  • At last, "full axis rotation to port!" makes it into the game! Love the blog, and the idea behind the specializations.
  • Can the Galaxy and Venture models be used with the Guardian? She is basically a redone Galaxy class.
  • So the extra BOFF power is LtCom level... wow. I can't imagine how T5-U is supposed to compete with that, let alone fleet versions coming soon. I really hope we get T6 retro-re-fits of the hero ships, because right now I can't see the Defiant/Galaxy/Intrepid being anywhere near as powerful, even the fleet upgraded version.
  • Whoever fixed this, if the fix works when you deploy it, should be given Starfleet's highest honors. And a raise. And bought a beverage of his choice. Seriously, thank you guys so much.
  • I second this question. I really hope it is per character.
  • Better ships costing more isn't a new thing. My Scimitar is flat out better (specs wise) than my Vadore retrofit. But I still fly the Valdore in all but the hardest content, because Donatra flew one. The Valdore got "devalued" by the Scimitar's release but I didn't care because I bought the Scimitar and had more game play…
  • I may of course be wrong, but my understanding from the dev posts earlier was that the fleet and normal versions are treated separately. So upgrading one does not cover the cost of upgrading the other.
  • 13th seat... they must have meant power/ability. Our ships today have at most what? 5 seats? As to consoles, there are some darn nice ones avaliable in the exchange.
  • I believe it is an extra power, not necessarily seat. So the total number of Boff powers will be one extra, but the Odyssey will have an extra console. That's how I read it at least.
  • As I read it, T6 capabilities means scaling health and stats. An extra BOFF power (new T6) vs extra console slot (upgraded ship) is irrelevant to them, it would seem. Both a T5-U bug and a T6 ship get the same type of stats and bonuses from "Starship Mastery" since both can slot the same traits.
  • Yep. I don't think this feature is made to save people money, it is made to allow someone to fly their favorite (T5 c-store) ship at endgame. And as someone who uses Canon ships almost exclusively, I am very glad that after ranking up the new ships to get their traits I can go back to the classic ships.
  • For the flagships, I think it is worth remembering that they will have 11 consoles and also gain powers from their special console sets. For all we know, the thirteenth BOFF power is instead of a console power on the new T6's. I find it hard to believe that the new T6 BOFF power "bell and whistle" will be better than the…
  • Zen and Dilithium are interchangable, so the only question is which way to tip the market by adding new demand. Seeing as more demand for zen makes the price of zen in Dilithium rise, which in theory makes buying zen with money a better choice for a player on the fence about the dilithium price of zen, the better choice…
  • I expect the 1701-F will be upgraded. Which is why playable Odyssey class ships should (by the in-universe logic) be upgradable as well.
  • The Federation launched a new U.S.S. Enterprise in 2409. She was hailed as the flagship of the fleet, like the Galaxy class of Picard's era. She led the federation's fleets into combat at a number of major engagements including the battle to retake DS9. Now, one in-universe year later, we are expected to believe that she…
  • Removed by poster because I found the answer
  • I really dont care if I have to pay to upgrade my T5 ships, I just want to be able to fly the ships I have come to associate with my characters at endgame and not be weaker than everyone in their new T6 ships.
  • Some of us with SSDs in laptops actually do feel the strain of space. 128G hard drives are in some pretty expensive machines.
  • If this is the case, can we get a way to get Mark XII very rare phasers and Quantum Torpedoes that is part of what you call "personal progression" instead of fleets and the new crafting? P.S. Giving us the ability to get yellow phasers from 8472 rep, instead of green ones, would work great. I like to have my federation…
  • The Good: I know I am in the minority here, but I kind of like the new UI, given that this is just the first iteration (I hope). It could be a lot worse! While having it be chance based is bad, at least they tell you the odds going in, unlike lockboxes. So, that also could be worse. The bad: The prices are far too high. I…
  • Having played this on tribble, I can say it is about as awesome as it looks.
  • I tend to use Rep to give a character a theme. My Romulan does Romulan reputation, my fed tac does Omega rep, etc. I see reputation systems as the mission starfleet has assigned one of my characters. For me, the problems is that I need 2 more fun and interesting (I dont find tholians fun) rep categories so my 4 characters…
  • I am more interested in them making them available to other energy types. I don't care if the proc is still that of phasers, I just want to be able to put one on my disrupter using (fed aligned) Scimitar without it looking and sounding stupid. Additionally, why not sell them as fleet weapons to those who have the T4 ship.…
  • The uniforms looks nice, hats off to the art team once again. The new ship skin might be my favorite of the rewards, it reminds me a bit of the TOS warbird color, but brought into the modern era of Romulan design. Really, we need 10 consoles on the vet ship. There is just no justifying the summer event ship out-performing…
