I hear you. In all honesty, I have to take a pass on the bundle because I just don't have the money to spare for it. If I did, I would. But then, there's a few things on there that I'd be playing besides just the BOFF pack.
-
You have to plunk down at least $35. You could plunk down more than that, y'know, for charity. Some folks do. But it's at least $35 to get the BOFFs and all the other things.
-
There will be an option to send the codes as a gift to a friend via email. Even if you don't use that, there's nothing to stop you from copy-pasting the code to an email yourself and sending it to whoever you wish. Steam games don't get added to your account until you activate the code on your account.
-
It's part of a package full of other games, too. There's still several other games to come, as they are revealing a new game as part of the package through the 25th. It's actually a great deal and it's for charity. If the other games doen't interest you, you can always gift them to friends.

No. These are the holographic bridge officers that were being given away at conventions around the time AoY released.
-
The code is part of a much larger package for $35. You get all of those games under the $35 line. All of them. Even the ones that haven't been uncovered yet.

Here's a code for the Accelerated Officer Training Pack: VF23xoSG

Well, if you're wanting drain beams, there's tetryon, which will strip shields, and dominion polarons which will also strip shields and has a power drain. That being said, any weapon will drain power levels if you're using a Plasmonic Leech console.

For the moment, I've put a damage build on my Archon, and will likely stick with that for a long while. It's a shame that effective tanking builds are behind a paywall of sorts, but then other F2P games have a tendancy to put certain classes/powers/playstyles behind a paywall up front. So it's not really unprecedented.…
-
I actually have that console. I might try it instead of the second neutronium.
-
This isn't exactly where I'm at, but where I'm considering taking this build (save for the security officer doffs and Attack Pattern Delta Prime and perhaps some of the modifiers on my beams, I'm pretty close to this currently). http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/e9cf4f9899e9baf1864566a8b17d064a Any advice is welcome. I…
-
Yes, if there's a good reason for it and a promise that new content will evenetually come. I've done that in one other game I used to play all the time. Took them over a year to come out with new content while they were making the transition to a F2P model. The wait was worth it initially. That being said, I don't see any…

The Tal'Shiar use disruptors or Plasma-Disruptors. Romulan Republic uses Romulan Plasma weapons. Now, if you're using one of the Tal'Shiar adapted ships, those use Nanite disruptors. Out of all of them, the Romulan Plasma is probably the easiest/cheapest to acquire.
-
Isn't there a Frengi ship (not the Nagus) available through either Phoenix boxes or Infinity lockboxes?
-
Interesting. Thank you. These are mechanics I hadn't considered before. I'll have to try decking out my engineer in such a build at some point in the future. Perhaps with one of the new Miracle Worker ships. That command skill is one of the reasons I really like cruisers. Particularly heavy cruisers. Unfortunately, that…
-
That might have been marks weekend payout. Last time I did a run, it was 80 marks, but I didn't place in the top three, either. So take that for what it's worth. It's still one of the best sources of fleet marks out there.
-
Thank you. It's something I'll have to revisit at some point in the future. My gaming computer is down. My wife let's me play on her computer, but given my limited playtime, I've decided to concentrate on my AoY Tac captain. I'll revisit turning my engineer into the tank I always wanted him to be at some point when I can…

Healing, in this game, isn't just about hull healing, but also shield healing. A Science cruiser would also be ideal for this role. There's actually a fair bit of overlap between healers and tanks. For Hull heals, you have Engineering team (yes, you can use this on allied ships and Engineering Team III is nothing to sneeze…
-
Attack Pattern Delta Prime. It's a starship trait that buffs Attack Pattern: Delta. Which is useful for threat generation if you have the doffs. There isn't a trinity in this game like in other games, no. Saying that you can't. play a tank or a healer is wrong, though. Any class can do so. Some classes are better at…
-
Interesting. Can you post a link to your build?
-
Tank space in this case. Beyond that, I don't have the patience to play a healer in this game.
-
Would it be possible to build a tank on a budget? I imagine there's a lot of people who are interested in tanking, but traits like APDP are rather costly on the exchange.
-
Have you been doing your reputations? If you have, then pick a reputation with the types of weapons you want to use and start running the hourly rep. Eventually, you will get a full set of beams or cannons or what have you at Mk XI or XII that you can use. If the box you receive doesn't come with the weapon you want, grind…
-
/me looks at Tribble patch notes for today. And the nerf is in. At least it requires less of the provisions and those provisions now give you fleet credits.
-
Sounds like a decent prospect, provided those who are buying the marks actually pay you for them.
-
How in the world would you sell fleet marks, anyway? I thought they were bound to your wallet in this day and age?
-
Bah weep grah nah weep ninny bon!
-
Threatening Stance III by itself usually isn't enough to actually pull and keep threat off of the rest of your team, especially when at least half the team is running 100k+ damage builds. You can offset that somewhat with Strategist and the Forced Taunt from Competitive rep that I mentioned earlier, but that all by itself…
-
If you're starting completely over, then my suggestion is to play a tactical character. At least for your first character. That's going to be the path of least resistance as it will take less effort to make an effective DPS build with that class than any other. Beyond that, you may want to consider rolling a Romulan…

In fairness, that wasn't a response to that particular post. You can't buy Mk XIV weapons from the C-Store. If you could, then the argument could be made for the game moving toward P2W. That being said, you could make that argument about the tech upgrades you can buy, on occasion, from the c-store as part of certain R&D…
