Added it to the list, thank you.

C: It is a mod that is in the pool of modifiers, but it is harder to come by (refer to post #3). I crafted something like 150-200 of them to figure out the possible pool of mods and iirc I saw 2 or maybe 3 of them with the [Gra] mod. In general I saw fewer of the Gra/ShdS/SIF/Stl mods, so maybe they are a rarer combination.

I have not run that assignment in a couple months, so I don't know specifically if they have changed it. By any chance was the DO you obtained a FED named Zissiox? If so, that is a known bug that they have not fixed. If you have seen that behavior with multiple duty officers, it may be a bug or they changed the assignment…

Thanks for the information, the list has been updated. The mirroring is a reasonable assumption, but until we have confirmation we'll leave them unknown.

No, that is absolutely not how it works. There are only two factors that determine rarity chance. 1.) What is the current rarity? 2.) How many Research Points you pour into the bucket (the ratio between RP & TP). Research Points are tied directly to Technology Points in any upgrade. Only the Tech Points determine when you…

This information is not contextually correct. Rarity chance is completely decoupled from the current Mark rank. Rarity chance only depends on the current rarity of the item. The reason people tend to start with a Mk II item is that the technology buckets are immensely small and all excess technology & research points from…

I would suggest reading through Post #4 in the "Everything you need to know" thread. I checked the rarity yields on the various upgrade types (Superior, Experimental, Omega) and they are all functioning as expected. A Superior Upgrade follows the above to the exact letter of the law. If you use nothing but Superior…

Almost interesting, but I would only ever see one stack as I run a Hargh'Peng. What really needs to happen is to ease some of the restrictions that have been unfairly employed against the people's Hargh'Peng.

I can't even reach the point where I get to see a Login Queue. All I see are Login2_Timeout errors. My user experience has been getting progressively worse since the 4/7/15 patch. It started with a little lag here and there. Maybe it took a little longer to login sometimes. Then the dreaded Login Queues started up this…

This is my user "experience" so far today (11:30 AM Monday 4/13/15): - Launch the game (via steam) - Wait about a minute for the dialog to completely render so the user can enter the password. Click Login. - The dialog re-renders itself and provides a "Attempting to connect to controller tracker.." message - Wait about 2-3…

I am unsure. If anyone has more experience with upgrading crafted Cores I would like to hear about it. I have upgraded a crafted Deuterium core and it did not gain a modifier (I logged a bug on it). Beyond that I do not have any experience with upgrading crafted cores.

Read post #2. Also, while you are following daBelgrave's advice, turn the "usable by me" switch on (located at the bottom of the exchange window) to filter out the duty officers that are not from your faction.
-
This DR event is being handled differently than a static Bonus XP Weekend event that is scheduled in the calendar. The standard calendar events have a clickable range that give general information. The information dialog that pops up has some general information about the event. The Dilithium event mentions that you get…

As a KDF I do the following with my new characters: 1.) Dump all of my common quality duty officers into the fleet project meat grinder. You only have a roster size of 100, so making space for quality is important. If there is no fleet project available, dismiss them. 2.) On all of my other KDF characters, run the…

If you are having problems, post them in one of the threads in the Gameplay Bug Reports forum.

I have been having the same SNR / disconnect problems ever since the patch on 4/7. I run the Cryptic launcher through Steam. Even the STO login dialog is having problems. It fails to load completely or the background graphic takes extremely long (more than 5 min) to complete (this problem happens before the user has any…

To be absolutely clear: The current purchase rate of Dilithium -> Zen is something like 200. Your character A has 12,345 dilithium. Your character A posts a bid for 120 Zen at a rate of 100 dilithium each (for a total of 12,000 dilthium). You log into character B and cancel that bid, in effect transferring the 12,000…
-
Post some of your dilithium at a conversion rate that will not sell (say 100 dil per zen). Log in to your alt and cancel that transaction then pull the dilithium down. Dilithium problem solved (as long as you have some on another character).

[Arc] will never happen. If the item is special in some way (a select few mission rewards, a weapon from a ship pack, reputation gear) it has a static/fixed mod at ultra rare. Outside of that collection of special items, any gear that gets upgraded can only gain one of a select few standard modifiers. In the case of…
-
Ok, let's take a look at weapons. All weapons would be [Ac/Dm] [CrtD]x4 or [Ac/Dm] [CrtD]x3 [Pen]. That's +10% Accuracy, +x% Damage, +60-80% Critical Severity and possibly ignoring some damage resistance. That would be on every single weapon on every single ship for every player in the entire game. That sets a new baseline…
-
I'll go with the standard 'read the Everything you need to know thread' response and tack on a 'if you think it is useful advocate to a mod to get it stickied'. I am not going to just post to the thread to keep it bumped up to the first page. As others have mentioned, the modifiers on an item never get re-rolled, see…
-
Have you given any thought to what the overall game would look like if you could craft and/or upgrade to exactly what you desired? Would anyone create a weapon that wasn't one of two combinations ([CrtD]x3 [Pen] or [CrtD]x4)? How would that impact the scaling of the opposition? The larger problem is that there is little…
-
Understand that it may take significant resources to increase rarity and accept your fate. Save up resources for a week or two and do it all at once. There is less temptation to think you'll get lucky this time. Invest in using only Experimental Superior Upgrades paired with 1.5x quality boosters for one complete attempt…
-
You are disappointed and are grasping at straws for a simple answer. There is very little chance that they will tweak mods to become more desired. There is no hope for a change in R&D, you just have to commit to grinding through the suck to get what you want. There is no conspiracy to deny[CrtD]x3 from appearing on DBBs,…
-
While you are at it, check [Radius] for crafted mines as it is currently impossible to create. Please rethink the [Ac/Dm] at epic (maybe swap to [CrtH/Dmg]).
-
1.) yes 2.) no / your call (see #1)
-
If you think this thread is useful and should be stickied I would suggest that you PM a forum moderator (bluegeek, askray, midniteshadow7) and let them know. I have tried off & on for two months to get this stickied and have gotten no real traction (other than Askray agreeing that the Xindi lockbox thread should be…

The Hargh'Peng gets a random generic modifier (acc/crtd/crth/dmg) at Ultra Rare and the standard [Ac/Dm] mod at Epic. I have a Hargh'Peng in my standard loadout.
-
Or an Omega Upgrade + Major Research Boost (2x quality) will give a Very Rare a 40% chance at rarity upgrade. Then it only down grades to 20% if it kicks over to Ultra Rare for the remainder of the Tech Points... :)
-
Assuming you do not use any Torpedo skills like HY or TS, the best bang for your buck is a Hargh'Peng. It has a high initial damage, a Radiation DoT and an AoE explosion at the end of the DoT duration (that can and will hit destructible targets). It also has a 15 sec reload so that shouldn't be too inconvenient provided…
