If you have the same issue as I have (launcher showing on taskbar but not on screen) there is a workaround in red at the top of the main forum page. Basically it tells you to minimize then maximize STO launcher via the task manager (ctrl alt delete). However server is being patched atm so maybe this wont be an issue…
Go claim it direct from the Zen store would seem to fix this. On a seperate note, loving the hilarious rage/tears sub-theme in the thread. Raaaar the free stuff is not the free stuff I would want to be free!!! RAAAR! Etc. Keep up the comedy rage pls (nakedcrook in particular) - best entertainment on the forums for ages.
Running eject warp plasma (with supporting doffs to immobilise enemies) coupled with aux to inertial dampners and cooldown improvements for evasive manuevers. Spinning round a group in tight circles dropping plasma, dashing away then re-orientating to fire a few volleys of dual heavy cannons is pretty effective. Not…
Moving away from the whole threat generating argument, beam turrets need to be added to the game. Was actually thinking about this myself (your thread beat me to it. gj ;) ). From a personal standpoint I dont use dual beams because my aft weapons pretty much have to be turrets and a large percentage of my tac doff…
Kept the resolution down to prevent being sued by people being sick all over their PCs. Nice that a thread designed to make people have a laugh has devolved into comments such as yours...... Havent looked at the the thread for a few days and theres been some awesome contributions (not to mention a new thread - "Least…
I kinda did, but if you consider what Picard's reaction would have been after saying "On screen" and being presented with The Royal Hawaiian, I think that we are still in the same ballpark ;)
Hehe, yeah sry dude. I did get that you were maybe not being entirely serious. On the plus side, if you consider that 40 lobi roughly equals 40 pearls (seems to be an average of around 5 pearls per box) then every Flying High run is worth 8-10 opened boxes worth of lobi, meaning that you are getting 12 to 15mil EC for…
Problematic as some (many) people would just login and stay afk for 24hrs a day. Casual players who only login for an hour or two a day (or more likely less) would certainly suffer in comparison. As a counter proposal, add dil rewards to a more broad range of content. Gaining some dil from running missions (maybe more if…
I have a Corvette, so you cant be starving. Hope this helped. You could consider buying some zen with dilithium to buy keys, or even splash out with EC. Not ideal I know, but even with only 3 characters on an account its not many days worth of dil to get 10 keys.
How dare you ;) I have actually been considering some semi off-topic themes that kind of go alongside the thread. For example the ship is ideal for supporting your favourite football team. Green with white stripes corvette - Celtic supporter are you? Black and red 'vette - like a nice prawn sandwich Mr. Manchester United…
Talk is cheap people, we want screenshots! ;) Only three entries so far - I think most people who were just running Flying High to get the ship will be starting to finish in the next few days, so we might be able to get some competition going. If theres enough contributions Ill start a seperate "Best of the Worst" corvette…
The bug did exist for a small number of people, of that there is no doubt. Even with the "lost" time there should have been enough days to get the pearls. Also no real debate there. Main issue here I think is revealed if you visited Risa anytime in the last few days to a week. In between the normal nonsense you see in a…
Beautiful day here (30+ degrees), Ashes 2nd Test is on, lots of forum threads to respond to between roasting in the sun...... Yeah thats fine Cryptic, take your time.
Loved Xmas Vette (possibly nastier than mine :( ) and PrettyPrincessVette. Awesome work guys. Certainly the responses so far have justified me starting this silliness off, and Im glad that almost everyone has taken it in the spirit it was intended. Which brings me to...... Re: amahood's comments, I suspect the Corvette is…
No desire to derail the central theme of the thread by discussing the ships pros and cons, but can confirm it is stupidly fast ;) Highly entertaining to play and bad guys seem to miss it a lot. Bah. Anyway, must go and see if I can make myself have a seizure with a new colour scheme. Looking forward to the unpleasant ships…
Hahah, pleased my paintjob is having the desired effect. Be aware that in the "Most Revolting Risian Corvette Challenge", mine is currently winning. Put your sunglasses on and post your efforts! NB: If ever there was a ship that justified using a rainbow weapon setup, this is it ;)
Lols, nice. Took me a moment I must confess ;) Ok since I started this nonsense, Ill get the ball rolling with a screenshot. Confident I can do better but this is what I have so far; Apologies to anyone who has recently eaten.
Think I bought 2 or 3 days worth of pearls with spare lobi I had lying around. As for the colour scheme, all options are free. The sickbag however cost a fair amount from zen store->items. Its a required purchase if you choose to take up the challenge though ;)
Havent seen anyone playing a broadsiding beam-boat version (although Im sure there must be some out there) which means that most people are playing cannons/torp or DBB/torp on front with some combination of turrets, cutting beam and mines on the back. So, with that in mind getting a set of the mk12 romulan DBBs seems to be…
Excellent - thx for the suggestions. Ill go look at deutronium cans next time im "on" my Rom. Agree ambush does way more damage (especially with a few of the rom boffs with subterfuge and (advanced pls) romulan operative) but you will mostly remain untouched using cloaked barrage - ive taken tac cubes to low % before it…
I understand your reasoning and have had similiar issues with absurdly large random hits that seem to break even full shields/hull. The ship pulls a lot of threat so that might be part of the problem. I would still advocate using aux to structural in place of one of the eng teams, which while it heals less doesnt trigger…
Know what you mean about the "selfish" aspect of the ship. Ill throw a hazard emitters etc at others if we have just finished a group and I have no chance of getting aggro, but otherwise they are for me thx ;) My setup weapons wise is very similiar to yours with cannons, turrets, torp and cutting beam. Went with photons as…
Yeah, fair point. Most people will probably get the fact that better kit is better. Sadly the guy telling us to "l2p" offered no advice other than "get Mk12 gear". Completely agree with you that getting used to the Scimi's abilitys and how best to deploy them gives better results. Would be interested to know how you…
Ah, and there I was offering some (I hoped) useful suggestions and now there is a punch-up going on. Sigh. Cant say I completely agree with the guy saying its not squishy, however he has a point that a lot of its survivability lies in the correct use of its abilities - particularly the cloak (or as he rather childishly put…
Yeah fair point, maybe I overstated that a little. What I was really getting at is the fact it doesnt really fly like anything else in the game and the learning curve is rather longer than most, if not all, of what came before (and I am probably only half way along the curve atm). Anyway, thanks for the comments ;)
