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…

Teamwork ftw!

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…
-
I hate the way people say non FAW builds aren't 'viable'. Pretty much anything in this game is viable. You can only use mines and it's viable. The thing is, there's a difference between optimal and viable. Viable just means 'practicable or workable'. So if people want to use overload, or rapid fire, they're still viable.…
-
I hate the idea of making cannons behave more like beams... you might as well just have 1 weapon type and call it 'energy weapons'. Would be much better to keep the range fall off, but make them do more damage at close range, with less energy drain (they pulse rather than fire continuously), and move cannon boff abilities…
-
The problem is that everyone's complaining about an AOE ability that buffs the only weapon type that does fast damage from long range, in a game that's about doing AOE damage to multiple targets against a timer (whether it be an actual timer or when npc group a get's to point b). Of course FAW is going to be the best…
-
Controversial... but I think that fleet marks should give less! Fleet marks are pretty easy to get (especially as a Fed), whereas Dilithium is capped at 8K per character per day. The reason people don't donate it is because they can't farm it beyond the refining cap, unlike fleet marks which are much easier to get (Queues,…

You get them from the console by Ensign Rraak with the fireworks outside Admiral Quinn's office on ESD
-
All they'd need to do is make tachyon beam decent with some kind of trait or duty officer that makes it an AOE shield drain
-
Mines can be made to work. Obviously they're going to have drawbacks though. The first drawback is that they're not going to be overly fast. When everyone else is killing things with beams, you have to deploy your mines, wait for them to arm, then be triggered, and then fly toward the target before actually doing damage.…
-
Wow! So I posted in the wrong forum sub section unintentionally and that makes me an boo hoo?
-
It would help if cryptic added more elite content, rather than kept removing more and more of it
-
This is getting silly now, and I'm getting increasingly irritated at a situation where a group of ordinary players seem to think they have some sort of right to dictate who can do what, use what, and say what.... and then by hypocrites when someone does it better, and call them a cheater and say they're using exploits.…
-
Ive been saying for ages that I want more differences between the factions. It's far too much like choosing your favourite colour right now. Factions should be a choice, careers should be a choice, specialisations should be a choice etc etc etc. It's all getting very bland right now with everything being available to…

I personally like the charal t5u with the dmgx3 fleet andorian DHC's and wing cannons. If you can afford the bundle, I'd definitely consider it. The console for wing cannon overload from the kumari is a lot of fun if you like big max one hits :)
