Well, I wouldn't say *all* bridges/interiors are useless; my Nandi has bank, mail, and exchange access, and even a Dabo table. But yeah, most of them pretty much are, except just for decoration. And I guess that's the point. Useless tho it may be, I just like having the TOS bridge and interior on my old-school Connie.

@narxes081206: (thumbs up) Right on. Looks like you're doing great there. :)
-
@narxes081206: No problem! Delighted to help. :) The important thing is to use what works for you while being open to suggestions and setups that might improve your overall build and performance. In my case when I switched from an AP cannon build to an AP beam build on my main ship (T6 fleet Arbiter), it was quite a…

I have no idea what kind of DPS I'm doing (never bothered parsing it). I just know it's not "all that." If I could at least get it up to, say, 30K, I'd be pretty satisfied with that. Because right now I doubt it's even 15K.
-
@echatty: I'm no DPS monster by any stretch of the imagination and am always looking to improve too, but I totally agree; one-shotting everything would be pretty boring. Tho it does come in handy in certain situations, like if you're in a pug and being mobbed up on, and time is running out on an objective. What's really…

On my Arbiter I used to rock AP DHCs and turrets, and it worked OK because I had set that ship up to be pretty maneuverable for a battlecruiser. But then when I swapped those out for AP DBBs, AP omni beams, and a kinetic cutting beam, I saw a big improvement in overall DPS output. So I'd recommend DBBs, beam arrays, and…

I got the same thing on my iMac, beginning on 12 April, when the expansion was launched and the Mac client was apparently shut down. I think it's pretty safe to say that "it's dead, Jim." My iMac is old (2008) and on its last legs anyway, so I didn't feel like messing around with Wineskin or Parallels or anything like that…

I've been playing STO via PlayOnMac for a few days now (thanks again, misterferengi#8959 for all your help with that!), and it's been working OK. Lots of "server not responding"/disconnects, but I know that's not PlayOnMac's fault cause I got that on the old Mac client too. At least I was able to use it to do what I needed…
-
Fluffymoof: I've got PlayOnMac working now. I have a Steam account so I downloaded STO onto it via Steam, and Steam's been crashing quite a bit but at least I was able to go into the C-Store and get the promo items. So it served its purpose. It'll tide me over til I can get a new computer.
-
Ha... That was a good April Fool's joke. I so wish this were real, 'cause I'd totally make a Horta toon just for giggles.
-
Imperatorpaveli: That's a fair question. I'd like to get the promo items because I do intend to get a Windows computer at some point so I won't be cut off from the game entirely. It'll just be a while because I'm not balling on that level just yet, to where I can afford to go ahead and buy a new computer. Right now the…
-
Well, it'll be a while until I can afford to buy a new computer, so until then, my old iMac is all I have.
-
Well, this sucks. Since the C-Store has been disabled on the STO Mac client, it looks like we're going to miss out on the current promo giveaways unless we use Wineskin or have access to a Windows computer somewhere.
-
Well, now that spring is here, I'd like to know when exactly they're going to shut the official STO Mac client down. That way we would at least have a firm date so we could plan accordingly.
-
My main character is a tactical guy and he flies cruisers almost exclusively. Long story short, when I first started playing and he was my only toon, I used nothing but tactical ships for the maneuverability and the DPS, but then I got sick of dying left and right. My Defiant and Prometheus (the freebies you get when…

I've been seeing the new T6 flagships left and right over the past few days, and of all factions. Most of the ones I've been seeing have been kitbashed (customized) to varying degrees.
-
Outstanding, warmaker001b. This is just the info I was looking for. Thank you.
-
No, I was just logging into Holodeck. I've yet to try it on Tribble. Maybe I'll try that tonight when I get home, if I have time.
-
For a new toon, I'd say MACO and Omega are pretty tried and true, and solid all around. Also, if you have tier 5 on your main toon, I highly recommend having your main character "sponsor" your alts with one of those rep sponsorship tokens that you can transfer to your alts via your account bank. That way it'll be a lot…

I was able to log in normally on my 2008 24" iMac last night. I have to play it on low to medium settings, and the framerate isn't that great in certain areas, but at least it's still playable and it's not freezing up and needing to be re-started like it was before this last patch (fingers crossed on that one, that it'll…
-
Yes! Make this so.

My main (level 60 Fed tac) character uses a T6 fleet Arbiter (battlecruiser). It's ugly but I still like it because it's basically a tac/eng hybrid ship; respectable firepower combined with some pretty solid survivability. None of my other ships are as effective and efficient at getting the job done (read: pumping out the…

My homegirl Serena (Mooncrystalpower)! Your Sailor Moon outfit is just amazing, with the transformation and everything. You totally nailed it and it's great to see you getting some well-deserved props in here. Major congrats! (^_^)
-
No, 3! 5 is right out.
-
Haha... awesome.
-
My current favorite is still my tried and true T6 fleet Arbiter. It's ugly (imho) but then it's pretty much a dedicated combat ship so it doesn't have to be pretty. I gave mine the dark grey color scheme in the ship tailor to give it more of a stealthy look and help hide some of the ugliness of the design. I like it…

Quote: "Apparently we have Vogons coming up in the next FE." Ha... That wouldn't surprise me.

Quote: "I'm assuming you have problems with Thursdays, but that kinda makes sense since that's Cryptic's maintenance/patch day." Not to worry, I think I've finally got the hang of them now. ;)

So far my only crossover alt is Arthur Dent from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He's my Fed science guy.

I'd love to have all of the J.J. Abrams ships too. The Narada, the new Enterprise, and the Vengeance would be awesome in this game. But I'm not expecting that to happen anytime in the foreseeable future. I managed to make a modified "Connie" (Constitution-class) that looks as close to the new J.J. Abrams Enterprise as…
