  • I think this is a really cool idea. As far as everyone wanting to be captain, that is true, but at the same time Star Fleet captains are not exactly despotic overlords. You could give chief science officer, chief engineer etc etc a lot of complete control over their own stuff.
  • Am I missing something? My mail is now taking very long to load because I have so many. I am not using it all, except that I get notifications when anything is sold on the exchange. Please make this a top priority to fix.
  • Dan Stahl is not your mommy.
  • Being able to delete mail to me should be their top priority right now. The fact that every exchange sale creates a mail means deleting these types of mails is extremely important, because they build up so fast.
  • As for 1, but I think this is a good change. The PvE elements had way to much of a shooting at a wall type of feel to it. Now you actually have to track these things down. Also, I think this makes beams better because their firing arc is more of an asset with faster more mobile ships as opposed to hulking piles of hit…
  • Please fix this, I really need to delete mail.
  • I initially had a problem with the new HUD as well as being very disorienting. I think the main reason is that there are very few borders around stuff now, whereas before there were hard borders around almost everything. Now, all the buttons tend to flow into each other. After about a couple days to a week though, i dont…
  • I feel like I have got good value for all the money I spent on this game, and am excited for the new content. There are some things they sell that are bad value, but no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. All in all, I think this game has a great free to play model, ie very flexible, allowing people to obtain nearly…
  • To be honest, if this is the first time you are subbing you are actually getting a pretty solid deal. I subbed for one month, and it has permanetly expanded my inventory, bank, gave me account bank, did not get the EC boost, because I had already purchased that, also would have given me an extra character slot but I am…
  • I dont think anyone can really be that surprised by this change. They charge for extra space, but this was somewhat meaningless because you could just put everything in the mail. At the same time though, I really really do not think this should be a ninja nerf, especially if the mails expire or if expired exchange stuff…
  • I would love a little bit more of this as well. The Red Alerts are one of my favorite parts of the game, because all of the sudden they got that blinking thing up there, and you have to go out and save such and such. It is great for immersion. As far as forced missions, I could see this getting old fast. However, having…
  • aux beam arrays, also allow more than one on a ship, which may really give a boost to science ships balance wise. Tri Dimensional chess mini game and fancy tri diminensional chess boards in game calculator - this doesnt really need to be an item I guess customizable ready room items and layout etc.
  • The Cashing Out option seems like it would be pretty awesome and harmless, but it actually can have severe negative effects. The main one is that you will attract an extremely greater amount of botters, scammers, etc. etc. which can really TRIBBLE up the game. Another negative is it removes the veil so to speak of the…
  • I think it is despicable that people, motivated by nothing more than pure greed, would want to be invited to a T5 fleet without having to pay anything.
  • I think this is an awesome idea and would be a great nod to the scientists who are actually exploring the universe. It would be cool for Cryptic to get a chance to flex their creative muscle a bit, as well, as they could make up some minor alien races and a few missions. It would be a great place to put some non combat…
  • Another bug that I have been noticing is that when I list things on the exchange for 10 million ec, they never get sold. Maybe people cant see them?
  • Thats too bad. My next guess was that it sold and just hadnt process yet or something, but I doubt that is it if you still cant get them down.
  • It is true that there are a lot of currencies, but I dont think it is that confusing. It helps direct gameplay a bit, as well, because at certain times you will log on and want to do dilithium stuff, ec stuff, romulan mark stuff, etc. etc. etc. The problem with having one currency only, is that the "rational" thing to do…
  • Check your Doff roster. If you are at max, you wont be able to take down any doffs you have listed on the exchange. If that isnt it, good luck :)
  • Assuming a new character, I would buy +100 doff slots X3 = 2175, staggered as a get more doffs Energy Credit cap increase = 500 ?, when i get enough energy credits for this to matter 4x Fleet ship modules so I could get a fleet ship = 2000, as soon as I reached lvl 50 I would save the rest, and would spend it on a new…
  • That is terrible OP, and this suggestion is too late for you. For all the other fleet members out there, though, it seems to be extremely prudent to have one or at most two admirals in charge of a fleet, and have them alone have the power to do something like this. Obviously, people work to get their rank up in a fleet,…
  • I think OPs suggestion of having to duck out and save colonists etc during the middle of a battle is a great suggestion. I would love for battles to have semi complicated non combat maneuvers in them. I am sure I will get extremely frustrated with these things at times, but overall it will add a great deal of depth to the…
  • I dont like the idea of making it just science or medical. I think the Starbases projects are already a bit bland. It is annoying at times to have to track down certain things, but that is part of the game. For the bartender mission of old, our fleet had discussions about how to get Romulan ale and dosi rotgut etc. I think…
  • I personally hate cutscenes in video games. I dont mind voice overs, so long as it doesnt slow down game play at all. I really liked the various introductions they have from Nimoy when you first enter a sector. For the missions, though, I dont care much for the voice overs because it is just faster to read. Whenever a…
  • Nice guide. All in all though, I think it is too time consuming to make ec off of doffs. This is still a good framework though and if the prices increase it may be worth the time involved.
  • That is the whole idea. If you up your cxp levels in a well rounded manner, you are rewarded by getting extra fleet marks.
  • I think it should be difficult for small fleets to advance. I think it would be sufficient to just increase the amount of fleet credits you get for donating dilithium, so that it better encourages people to donate.
  • A lot of video games have the same sort of stuff happening. For a variety of reasons, video games are very important to people, so they become very emotional and excessively demanding. It is very similar to how sports fans will say crazy things to and about management and sports players. A weird sociological quirk, maybe…
  • I am going to bump this thread because the question was never answered, and when I google the question this is the first thread that comes up. I think it would be best to get an answer in one thread so anyone in the future who tries to figure it out can get it here instead of making a new post. So more specifically than…
  • I think this is a great idea.
