If you bother to learn some English and read you'd understand the "variety" comment goes beyond the ships, but the over all Ally's faction. No, restrictions specifically on ships were mentioned. Which was followed through by Dstahl about the ability to use your allies ships, without any restrictions being mentioned in the…
A month after the information I posted. Which is part of my point in my disappointment in this. Access to your ally's ships is access to them. The fact that they added restrictions a month after Dstahl said there would be access is not only disappointing, it's a used car salesmen tactic. Jim
wildweasel, How about instead of me "learn to play", you try and "learn to read". There was very specific information released about the expansion before it came out, One would figure that his word would have been enough not to worry about my only issue with the expansion. I guess not. One more reason not to spend any more…
I liked the 2009 movie, and I liked Into Darkness. Yes the plot seemed "thin", but Into Darkness combined elements of nearly the entire franchise to put together the movie. If your a Trekker and have the Franchise memorized, and got the references, it was a not bad movie. My only issues with both are the Klingons, first…
Fleet Crew Quarters for each member that can be customized. With a little sign giving their name above their door. And possibly moving your star base to a different area of the maps. So that you can have a more unique star base experience then the entire game rushing to the same place. Jim
Nope, the PvE Queues have been acting up since they changed the menu layout, not sure in the last couple weeks as me and my buddies have not been on PvE's recently, but we were clicking one thing and getting another thing to pop up. It was quite annoying. Jim
Nothing that came out of The Undiscovered Country can be terrible. :P Not when you need to get from point A to B fast. Even if your slightly out of the combat zone, pops you right in the action and ready to release all your weapons. It is better then using full impulse, especially in combat when its disabled to cross…
Fleet rank unlocks the provisioned stores, so if donate and rate the stuff I don't care what you buy, my fleet has extra provisions. Which is one of the reasons I'd like to see this list ordered correctly. Actually at the moment we are sitting at 24 ships, 44 Weapons, and 57 Science provisions. When you have a fleet that…
Nope Torpedoes were Green in Changing Face of Evil. But your right in DS9 all they showed were torpedoes. I've been tempted to make a torpedo boat, but it wouldn't be too fun. And nikephorus is right, the Breen, Klingon's and Romulans are all known to use Type 3 disruptors. Jim
D'oh your absolutely right. Because I tend to over shoot my targets, and being in a cruiser that hasn't matter much (using Dual Disruptor Beam banks in front). Gives me near even DPS any way I get attacked, so in like Battle Royal (the foundry mission) being in the middle of 3 enemy ships is okay, I don't need to worry…
+100 You don't need to pay anything to play STO to the full potential. Other MMO's out there? Not so much. SWTOR is a horrible F2P model, and its not even a MMO its a single player game that happens to be hosted on their servers basically. Yup, now with Season 7 there is a defined end to grinds, so with Season 6's fleet…
This is the problem with people who complain in general. Ford didn't take a bail out, they were at the meetings to make sure Chrysler and GM got their bail outs. They helped their own compaction. And this is just a easy thing to point out, over say the personal preferences people have with the way Cryptic is doing things.…
Someone who has played MMO's long enough into the dark ages of text based games to know that these things don't "just happen" to a single fleet. These things happen due to the way the fleet is set up and allowed to run itself. Like I told kerain prove it. So far this thread just reeks of typical whining players who screwed…
Why? Responsibility of the Leader to maintain order in his fleet, if they give their other members full access to the fleet, it is his choice and his responsibility if it comes back to bite him and the fleet in the butt at a future date. Personal Responsibility, its a hard topic to understand in today's world, but please…
STO might have some growing pains, but at least it is F2P and still growing. May not be prefect, but we are still getting more then other F2P games out there (SW:TOR for one shining example of how to give your players nothing in F2P and somehow still attract players. :rolleyes: ) Jim
Well specifically Weyoun in DS9 talks about their capital as that is where the Dominion would have been meeting their leadership (one would assume any ways). I figure, the Breen Home World is like Canada, very cold in some areas, and temperate in others, but if the species evolved in the North, the suit may be beneficial…
Being able to make a default Male and Female uniform for your entire ship's crew. Other then that, perhaps being able to modify your ship's interior a bit more. Jim
People here are getting to the point where they expect new content every month, and soon it will be every Thursday patch. Eventually, with all the bits and pieces that the developers are putting into the game, which really, since the game went F2P has increased more then the previous time before they launched and F2P…
Make fleets that existed before the update able to merge. Either from say the Start of Season 7 or the update allowing mergers itself. Any new fleets would have to be active fleets for say 3-6 months before being given the option to merge. Also instead or merging per-say make it so that one fleet absorbs the membership and…
The investment is when they purchased the subscription, anything else is just zero's and one's in Cryptic's server. No real money is changing hands. No new money is being generated for Cryptic. I said stop at 155 dil per Zen, or about 40% of what the Dill to Zen conversion was in January when I joined the game. Jim
People who spend their monthly splendid make Cryptic/PWE zero ... zip ... nadda ... nothing. Their money is already accounted for and "gone" regardless if the markets go 1 Zen to 1 Dilithium or up to 1 Zen to 1 million Dilithium. People (such as myself) who pull out their credit card to purchase Zen for Dilithium are a…
I know I have not updated the above postings in a while, lots of recent promotions, however today I'd like to focus on something else a giveaway for making Tier 2. Original message everyone in my fleet just received. As I posted in our fleet Star Base Project board, there is a giveway because we made it to Full Tier 2, and…
