  • So... new arc client is coming that gives rewards for completing quests.... anyone think this is the real reason for them canning the mac client?
  • Why does trying to get AMP mean I have to have low Aux power? While sitting in space doing nothing I have aux at 127, I'm running 2x EptA, and I have leech. Aux power isn't an issue
  • I'm using the Solanae Core (I figured the 2pc bonus with the deflector wouldn't hurt). At the moment I'm favouring APO1 instead of OSS, purely because I'm not sure the decreasing aux power increase is going to be as good as the +10% dmg from APO for 10 seconds. Still testing it though.
  • I'm currently at 540 part gens. Main issue I have now is working out which tac or tac/intel abilities to use. I'd also ideally like to drop plasmonic, but kinda need it for AMP.
  • Would have been cool if they made Romulan and Reman variants of each model
  • Exactly, there's more chance of them making the game available to Mac users!
  • Well I managed to get parallels working well enough to login, but I'm having various issues I need to iron out before I can 'play'. Wondering if this might now exclude my account as I've now effectively logged in from windows?
  • http://imgur.com/a/IWqHI I have to agree that the T6 Scimitar has made an evil ugly Reman ship into a child like cartoon Romulan ship. I'm hoping there will be something I can do with the parts from the T5 and T6's that looks halfway decent. The Odyssey got the best designs
  • So is that only for those who bought lifetime since October 2015? I got mine waaaaay before that, so obviously not going to be due any reimbursement... will they still cancel my lifetime subscription though?
  • It's far simpler than that.... Cryptic used Transgaming to port the game so it would run on a mac (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransGaming). Transgaming sold the cider part of the company to Nvidia shortly after, and therefore there was no further development. Cryptic never actually improved the client, and didn't really…
  • Ok, I get that the C-Store is now disabled so that mac users can't spend anymore money.... but it also stops me from using any zen I might also have or want to convert from dilithium, but more importantly, it stops me from being able to reclaim things I've already bought! Anyone else think that's a little wrong?
  • I tried using wine and nearly broke my machine. Bootcamp isn't an option for me... aside from mainly using my Mac Pro for work, and sometimes needing to tab out of STO to do things, my machine has an optical drive and therefore won't boot from a USB iso or even if I burn an iso onto a CD or DVD. It has to be an official…
  • Well they removed all but HSE from the borg elites, the recently removed Breach, No Win Scenario is gone and sounds like it's never coming back. Most of the elites that are left are time gated, and most people would agree, time gates are boring! I recently did a Viscous Cycle Elite and it rewarded me 13 marks for my…
  • A lot of people also make the mistake of piloting their ship 'one way'. You can't fly with beams and then with cannons in the same way and expect the same results. Cannons require a very different approach, which is one of the reasons I don't understand why they can be equipped on ships like the Jupiter! A big slow ship…
  • I'm saying you can, and we have. To get an AFK penalty, you have to do less than 1% of the overall teams damage. 1% isn't a lot, and no change to FAW will make those who can't do 1% of the damage any more likely to.
  • That's not a FAW problem... that's an issue with the game having very little elite content, and what there is, gives basically no reward. The upshot is that people who should be doing elites, can't and are therefore on the same maps as those who struggle in advanced. Do you really think that if these people had no FAW the…
  • My point is that for something to be viable, it just needs to be able to usable in order to complete the game content. You don't need FAW to complete the game content. You can do that without using any abilities at all! As I've said before, people will follow the easiest path to get the most reward, so because currently…
