As someone who does pay, I appreciate the fact that the difference between my account and a free one is nothing more than convenience items. That's one of the things I really like about this F2P model that Cryptic took. With the exception of the Vet Rewards and the Steam special, there is nothing I have access too that F2P…
That data is wrong then. At 0 crew my in combat repair rate is closer to 24%. That number might be slightly off - I don't have time to check right now, but the hull repair rate is affected by crew.
If you throw a 20 sided die 50 times in a row. It could possibly land on 7 all 20 times. It's not likely, but it's possible. It's also possible that it will never land on 7, even if you throw it a million times. Random is just that. Random. And just because one person rolled one way and another rolled another doesn't mean…
Assuming I'm taking no other 'serious' damage or have no crew, I am usually out-repairing DoT's, tractor beam and bleed-through damage, due to my four human BOffs. However if you can't keep your crew full, which is hard to do (I had to drop the biowhatsit due to space constraints) it's hard to keep up that 150-200% repair…
Feel free to yell at me if you disagree with me, but why are their firing arcs for torpedoes to begin with? Once fired torpedo will follow a target regardless of whether or not it remains in the arc. So why not just get rid of arcs completely. Give torpedoes 'fuel' to set a range (i.e 15KM) which would encourage firing…
What would be the point in telling us the odds anyway? People would simply misinterpret them and continue to complain. If they said they were 0.5% or 1:200, then everyone would be 'but I bought 200 boxes and didn't get a ship! HAXXORZ!' You can roll a 200 sided die 1,000,000 times. And while unlikely, it's possible that it…
I get your point, and I don't totally disagree with where you're coming from. But... You and I probably won't agree on this, since I think there should be a bit of 'forced immersion' in the game, and bringing the ship back to the dock to make exterior changes is part of that. That said, I'm not really opposed to locking in…
I'd say for no other reason than the fact that all the bridges we do have do not look like 2409 (and isn't it 2412 now anyway?) bridges. 'New' ships should have 'new' bridges.
It seems to me that there is a massive difference between changing your clothes and having massive body work done to a 600 metric-ton starship. But then again, I might be over thinking things...
Any kind of 'paid' expansion pack runs contrary to the concept of a F2P game (where the set differences between those who pay and those who do not are convenience). </thread>
I have warped into red alerts dozens of times within seconds of the distress call appearing - with no instance change or anything - and it's put me into a failed instance. They ARE broken.
I've been using my Armitage since about 0.000001 seconds since it came out. I love me some T5 Akira. I swap out of it for PvP, but short of that, it's my ship and will only be replaced once our T5 shipyard is done and I can get the Fleet HEC (though I'm having eyegasms over the Andorian ships.........).
I think the whole graphics engine could use an overhaul. There's a lot of potential, consider how beautiful some of the newer ships are, and how much more they could be. They obviously have some very talented artists working for them. That said, I can understand how they'd want to avoid going too far as a F2P game they…
There are a MILLION (and I am not even slightly being hyperbolic) instances in this game where NPCs manage to get stuck in the environment. I had to fail and redo one of the Romulan tiers because a Tholian Captain managed to somehow get in side of the cave wall and couldn't get out (and obviously I can't shoot through…
To this day I still don't understand the complaints about the grind for the MACO/Omega stuff. You had to grind before by running STFs. Just like you do now. Except now you know when the grind ends. It really seems like an odd complaint to me. I blew through both systems in no time. I still need the OMs to finish off my…
I think my favorite Crit so far has been this: http://imgur.com/ebU3JxW An all Breen shipboard concert. I presume they were doing The 'Best' of Ke$ha. My most annoying failure is this one: http://imgur.com/ErftVhv Sent my security DOffs to check for security issues, it seems the Consulate was had no security problems.…
The raw damage output is lower on chronoton and transphasics because of their special abilities (chrons have a chance to nerf speed and transphasics have a shield bypass percentage). Honestly, before I got my Omega torpedo, I simply used quantums. On a critical, with a single purple XII console, with a normal salvo I could…
Nexon would disagree with you. F2P games like Atlantica Online have had lockbox type lottery cash shops for years. You want an outfit or a mount for your toon there? GL. Maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't. I think a number of you are playing video games for the wrong reasons, as it's obviously stopped being fun years ago.
Actually, I think this is a good comparison. STO = Walmart. People ***** and moan about the management, the products, the way the employees are treated. Yet time and time again, people come back to the Walmart because that Whole Foods is just too darn expensive. :cool:
I've opened like 10, something I tend to do when the new ones come out. I got a JHHEC on the second one I opened. Randomness is weird like that. Also, I don't know why you call the claims 'worthless'. Those are 5000 DIL/day.
