  • I just want to say thank you to this thread. And two big shout outs to donrah and majortiraomega. You're back and forth and responding to each other's points and citing resources has helped me so much more than posting my own thread and asking for generic feedback. I've learned a lot and am looking to land somewhere in the…
  • Thanks for the link! Great job, Mimey on breaking down PO. A2B is king but unless you have a cool sci schip, PO seems to have it's place for heavy science.
  • Dang! You laid that out very nicely! Thank you! I learning to like the ground a little more than I used to. I'm hoping it's more fun with other people than my boffs. I'm willing to spend more than 66,000 but probably not the max 100,000. Maybe around 85,000? Would you then drop the combat armor down to 3, probabitlity…
  • Hey! I'm a Sci/Sci. Currently I'm Captain grade 3 and play on elite. I like playing Science. Maybe it's because the game takes longer as science doesn't have great dps like tactical does. That said, some episodes, I felt, were taking me too long to finish. This is what I have found works for me: Gravity Well 3 is awesome!…
  • Thanks for the link. I just might make one based off the guide. I didn't mean to make it sound like I wanted another whole faction, but after thinking about it, Cardassians wouldn't be a good fit in either FED or KDF or even Romulan for that matter. After watch TNG and Deep Space Nine, I prefer Cardassians over Romulans. I…
  • This A2D discussion is interesting. Has anyone tried it on a carrier? I'm wondering if 2 copies of A2D on an Atrox could turn it into a torpedo boat. Lol, would be funny. The concept intrigues me.
  • Thank you both of you. Can people still get the Mobius with Lobi crystals? What kind of setups do you run in the Mobius? If you don't mind me asking.
  • Cool! Thanks for the help peeps! I have another question if anyone wants to chime in. How well does Jam Sensors work? I was thinking of trying a weird Jam Sensors/Viral Matrix build. I would run a copy each of Jam Sensors 2 & 3, that would allow me to put out a lot of damage without the npc being able to do anything…
  • How long are the cooldowns on the universal consoles?
  • Also well said. I can understand the way you feel about the "getting people to come to church" and then having nothing to show for it. I hope after "going to church" people keep seeking the "Star Trek" way. Lol. Hopefully they will watch the old shows and movies and find that they are as cool as we think they are.
  • Well said. That's what I was truly trying to get at. Also, after years of being considered nerdy for being a Trekkie, it's nice to have a couple of movies that people think are cool. LOL.
  • I don't mean to offend people about the special effects. I just think the update is nice. I have always thought Star Trek is cool, now it looks even better! I get the whole substance over special effects. That's how I am with old video games. I always say to my friends, "remember when video games were awesome and you…
  • Well, technically Kirk was a first officer at that point because Pike convinced Marcus to let Kirk have a little on the job training under Pike's supervision. :)
  • I enjoyed the latest two Trek movies. Sure they aren't as thought provoking as the shows. If they were, not nearly as many people would go see them. Star Wars came out in 1977 with an $11 million dollar budget. Wrath of Khan came out in 1982 with an $11 million budget. Star Wars had better special effects 5 years earlier.…
  • Hey! Returning science captain here. I'm trying to catch up. From what I'm reading, all drain builds are useless for pve and pvp right now. Does that mean I should switch to something like viral matrix 3?
  • It sounds like it will be too much trouble to have two copies of TBR. I did give it a whirl in Starbase 24. It was fun. I don't have any logs to tell me what my dps was. Also, my RSV couldn't handle all the attention it got, lol. I'm not at max level yet, so I haven't done any STFs. I think I would keep it as a fun build,…
  • I didn't think of that. I was looking at it as a way to get more dps out of a sci/sci setup. I know science isn't a dps class, but I'm just trying to think out of the box on how to squeeze that little bit extra out of science.
  • Hm, would this give the effect that I am looking for? I'm just curious. I think it would be pretty neat to get it to fly like an RSV. Or is the ship so big that it would need a turn rate of 25 degrees to feel like an RSV?
  • I have another question. If a boff has the "creative" trait, does that mean they get healed for more hp or they do more healing to others? I'm a little confused.
  • Thanks, Jaden! I think i will take out one deflector officer and the tractor beam officer. In their place, I will try 2 damage control engineers and see how that turns out. Also, based on Heretic's feedback, I'm going to try 2 copies of TT1. Hopefully this will help with the shield taking damage. To get 2 copies of TT1…
  • Thanks, Heretic! I knew I could count on your response! You have answered a lot of my other forum questions. We seem to have a similar thought process/playstyle. As this is my first captain and I'm only a Rear Admiral Lower Half, any stats I posted are based off of Mk X. I hope this build will get better. As you are much…
  • Hey! I'm in a Recon Sci as well. I use ES3 and ES2. I find that I can keep my weapon power close to 100 with setting it at 25. ES3 gives me 47 and ES2 gives me 37. EPtW 1 gives me another 21, plus I use batteries if needed and use a warp core engineer doff which has a 20% to give me extra power when I use EPtX. What kind…
  • Hey everybody! Thanks for all the suggestions. Since I have been getting lots of feedback, I thought I should post some more info. I have been working on an energy drain build. Currently, I have: ES3(It drains about 47 power for 23 seconds) ES2(37) Tykens Rift 2(12power a second for 17seconds I think) I keep a dual beam…
  • Thanks. Would that be ES3 + Tykens 1 or ES2 + Tykens 2/3?
  • Hi! How long is one session?
