Considering my Quantums can do this: http://i.imgur.com/LV5VFJf.jpg 15k for Photons isn't out of the question. You likely got hit by an escort that devoted 5x 30% tac consoles to their photon torps, and possibly sported Adapted Maco for even more kinetic damage.

No they don't, silly. It's perfectly possible and quite easy to grind money ingame for fleet ship modules, and use those to get fleet ships. Even rare lockbox ships can be obtained if you grind hard enough, and you don't have to spend a cent.

Entitled much? ARR ARR ARR! I R IMPORTANT CUSTOMAR! I SPENT MONAY! THIS MAKES ME AM BE IMPORTANTS! MASSAGE MY FEETS! ANOINT MY LOINS WITH FINEST FRAGRANT OILS! I wonder if you act this way in stores. Nah, of course you don't, because people would hit you. Besides, aren't there craploads of rewards for veterans, subs and…

To OP: What hassle? I discovered STO when I heard that everything in this game that you could pay-to-win for, you could also earn through grinding. I picked it up last November, and have been playing plenty since. It's a game, not a hassle. It's meant to be fun - if it isn't, don't play. I play when I want to, and leave it…

I've played with both extensively. Plasma weapons are the most powerful PVE weapons in game at the moment. Anyone telling you different is a liar. However for PVP, nothing even comes close to the effectiveness of antiprotons if combined with a proper crit build. I'm talking romulan + borg universal consoles, 3 romulan crit…

Remember that episode of Voyager where aliens stole Voyager's warp core, and it couldn't warp? You're in it.

I have noticed a rather significant performance boost in my ship as of late. Doubled speed and agility, to start with...

Keep a stiff upper lip, and think of the English. They know how to queue in an orderly fashion, those English.

Not all of them. I should update that screenshot, they're even deadlier now.

You don't play a lot of MMOs, do you? Hell, be thankful you weren't an Eve player the time one of their patches crippled a few thousand players' operating systems. Patch day isn't a smooth affair in most games.

I predict the next expansion will be... Borg From The Future. Let's face it, the Borg, that all-conquering threat from the TNG era, have become a complete joke. Most DPS players can insta-pop Borg cubes. Even tac cubes are a limited threat at best. The Borg have gone from "We can conquer the Federation with a single cube"…

Current shield HP capacity should govern that shield facing's resistance. A shield that's fully charged shouldn't have the same resist profile as a shield that's being beaten down. Full HP? Full resist bonus. Half HP? Resist bonus halved. 10% shield remaining? 10% of total resist remaining.
-
You sure? Console just says "Adds plasma burn proc to non-plasma weapons" and doesn't specify energy only, as far as I recall...
-
My quantums' tooltip does show the plasma burn proc, and the omega weapon amplifier proc.
-
Hmmmm, listing buffs alone wouldn't give you the whole picture. It's a pretty purpose-built ship. The entire thing is built to maximize quantum damage, and critical chance/severity. Gear and crew: - 3 purple projectile doffs - 3 Romulan crit tac boffs - 5x 30% Quantum tac consoles - Adapted Maco set (2 piece bonus = 25%…

I'm a torpedo specialist. As much as the greedy side of me would love to see a torpedo damage boost, the reasonable side tells me how utterly, blitheringly overpowered that would be. My current torpedo setup is capable of scoring multi-kills. As in, multiple klingon players destroyed with one spread salvo. It is my primary…
-
In the old system, some players would have gone *years* without completing their sets. With the new system, completing a set is far easier and not chance-based, like the old Borg drops. Just takes time and resources, but once it's done, you're glad you did it because of all the little perks it gives you.

Plato's got some good ones. I prefer: "Only the dead have seen the end of war."

N/m duh, mispost

Oh, I never said you shouldn't use energy weapons. They compliment torps quite well. I run a forward experimental romulan beam array and a plasma DHC for shield popping, along with 2x BO I and CRF I. Those are my only energy weapons, however. Rest of my armament is 2x quantum weapons fore and aft, and the Rom plasma torp…

I think I can settle this lengthy argument rather conclusively, if you fine gentlemen will permit! I'm a torpedo specialist, and I mainly PVP, though my effectiveness in PVE is ridiculous too. I decided to spec into torps after every STO "pvp pro" I ran into laughed at them, and told me to run DHCs. I enjoy showing folks…

Torpedoes in STO come in two varieties - fast and reliable, or slow and gimmicky. Slow and gimmicky torpedoes are mostly for PVE. You *can* make them work in PVP, but due to their slow travel time, and vulnerable projectiles, you'll be much happier with a fast and reliable torp. Omega plasma, romulan hyper-plasma,…

Ah, to play a true space game... one with no "up" or "down" or invisible walls...

I mostly PVP, and run a torpedo build with the meanest quantums this side of the galaxy. I use a pair of spread IIIs, or spread III + II as my primary offensive ability. In PVP, spreads become really powerful if you're specced into them, because spreads... do not miss. All the defense stacking your opponent does won't…

Not quite.

The finest of butt doctors, butt surgeons and warlocks of buttwizardry have been dispatched to his location, bearing the holiest butt-wound creams and unguents of butt repair +3. Sadly, even the Grand Buttsmith of Buttbuttshire pronounces his chances as grim.

I want a Photonic Thompson SMG like Picard used in First Contact with its own mobile emitter and photon grenade launcher :|
