Yep. And even more annoying because if I had a level 60 (highest is 55.5), I'd be more interesting in playing the game even if it's just for story purposes. If I had 60, I could catch up on the story missions (even if it's one char). I even have a lifetime account that started when f2p first went live (Played before then…

The point is, and you may have misread it, that Dareau is making is this. "Cryptic does another thing similar to the Delta Recruits. It is during a period with NO events going on, and said character gets high enough to use the ships from event stores. They cannot access the reclaim tab until an event roles around. IMO,…
-
This is more of how my question is themed. Or if your alt doesn't have the store unlocked during the event season. Like, you run races with one char mainly, the rest simply don't touch the winter area for example.

So, I made a KDF delta recruit last night, but then the game crashed as tutorial loaded and I ended up being distracted and didn't get a chance to finish it. I logged in just now, it popped up the "If you skip, you won't be dellta recruit" I clicked the "Do tutorial and become delta recruit." Then it played the delta…

Do note, in cryptics timeline, the player character gets reassigned to... 5 or 6 different ships as commanding officer, in 18 months. While also reaching fleet admiral.That's by default. (5 including miranda, 6 including a T6) Like gobby said, cryptic made the lockbox ships powerful and desirable, moreso then the default…
-
I will agree with the concept of a purely federation, straight up normal captain flying a Malon tanker is weird and wouldn't work. Simply because they have the tech to clean up that waste. As for other ships, bar Undine, I can accept. IF, in RP terms, the person actually has a reason for it. Something fitting other then…
-
Because, like many things, this is another time/resource heavy focus to split what limited time and resources you got :/. At least it seems that way to me. I don't intend on making another crafting character. I don't really have ideas for a new character anyway. The rewards get a meh from me, to slightly pissed off…
-
I find it funny how part of it seems to be to entice players to make an alt/level the alt, yet for new players there is literally no reason to make an alt if their main is a delta recruit. Likewise for vets, there isn't any reason I see to make more then one besides MAYBE if you wanted to make some other new characters…
-
Wait, what? My engineer could make Aegis in the old crafting system, but as far as I know she didn't receive any special doffs. I'll check when I'm ingame next but I don't recall ever getting those... Which is why thinking about it annoys me so much. I gotta work and spend the many days to max out those three schools to be…
-
I love my alt chars, but STO is a game I see no reason to focus on them. Heck, I had an idea for an alt, visually they'd use the Omega force set. But then I went "Nah, it'd be a chunk of effort to reach level 50, then even more effort/time to get them to tier 5 rep (even with sponship tokens I can make on two of my level…
-
Honestly, reading the rewards for the delta recruit I'm just stuck with a giant freaking "meh.", if not a little bit pissed/annoyed at the "They level an R&D school to level 5, instantly get a level 10 school of their choice." Why? I have one char I'm leveling crafting on (for the second or third time since Cryptic wiped…
-
Or simply keep the bonus XP on the 50+. I know I've not touched most of the delta rising content because I don't have the time to grind the levels out. I thought once 'I'll hit those old story missions I never finished" (cause old q weekends)... then saw the pathetic XP reward. My highest is 54, but that's from grinding…
-
Yes, because spending lots of time to access the new upper tier content is always fun. By the time you get the new awesome ship/upgrades, there is another set of new things out. Besides, with the dilihtium to Zen thing you have to focus on that. Meaning you don't spend it on upgrades or other items...
-
One thing is, and this update seems to reinforce it... STO doesn't seem to like people with multiple chars. With all the character bound stuff, it feels like I'd be better off (If I was doing rep or other things) working on that stuff ONLY for one char instead of having several chars doing different things. If Lobi…
-
What your post implies to me is that cryptic released an entire expansion based only for the 'hardcore elite'.
-
Yeah, I always find it kinda annoying when people talk and they keep mentioning using this trait or this gear from higher end rep stuff. I don't have rep stuff maxed on every character. Hell, given how it takes at least a month to complete, I don't see myself working on it much besides when I specifically want a ground…
-
If you had the time to grind the event ships out... or were even playing during the events happened. Or if you even like the event ships or they match your preferred builds. Which I think a lot of people won't fit into those slots. A lot of people don't have millions of EC, or the means to get millions of EC. Something…
-
"How badly you want the high end gear." doesn't matter if it still takes you more then a month to even start getting a full set. And getting the marks? Easy for dyson rep at least. But still just dumping the marks into something and waiting 20 hours doesn't make the game fun if I'm needing that to get to the fun,…
-
Sure, at your leisure. And it takes 30-40 days to reach tier 5. And that's just doing the rep missions which boil to "Throw marks, XP, and EC at screen. Wait one hour/20 hours and repeat." Such exciting gameplay to keep people hooked. And even then, you need plenty of marks for the gear, which is more time spent if you…
-
I rarely play the game, since late legacy of romulus update (got a romulan to 50, stopped). I look at this update and see more grind, more rep systems (I've only ever maxed out omega force, one two chars. Otherwise rep was untouched). Not going to touch the new rep system without seeing what the end tier costume/armor…
-
This. I was annoyed when I found out IF I wanted to upgrade my one KDF's voquv to T5U, I'd have to drop the cash/item and get a fleet one, THEN drop more money and get the upgrade one. That's crazy. And sure, the upgrade going account wide for that ship is nice... but only two chars use the same ship on my account. And I…

On subject of weapon scaling, I recently saw a custom alien whose rifle was literally taller and larger then she was.
-
Looking at it, it seems like they are trying to pack more and more stuff into this pack to get more people to buy it... Sure the romulan pack might have had 'more stuff', but it was mostly just like normal fed leveling ships. You just got all the "+1" versions. This... seems like they are throwing a lot of different things…
-
I'm just going to say this. The Intel ships, while perhaps nice, are almost too much off the design path that Cryptic has set up for the Federation (which was a good design style!). It's like going from the Enterprise A straight to the Sovereign. These uniforms, my main comment? "Oh, so Federation, Klingons, and Romulans…
-
You don't even need to use the headwrap at all. Just select "Off duty" go to the uniform tab of the tailor, and select "Bare chest". Bam, Khan ripped jacket instantly on! :P I can't seem to find the Khan-like hairstyle at all. I see a new "Punk" one, but nothing else. This is for alien (KDF) and human (fedside)
-
My two characters were wearing second/3 slot. One was in mark XII HG, the other in winter coat white. No error messages, but all three of my KDF (gorn included, who doesn't have anything special in his outfits IIRC) are stuck on first outfit. Selecting the "change costume" from portrait doesn't work, neitehr does loading…
-
That site is working fine, it's the cryptic redeem key page that isn't working. Yes, some could 'just buy it with zen' but others don't have much or any zen, or are saving it for something else (Like ships maybe). Regardless, it needs fixed.
-
On KDF, if I load my honor guard outfit in tailor, it resets to default 'off duty shirt' and pants instead of remaining on my HG look.
-
Indeed. I looked out the window and went "Oh cool, a starfield instead of a generic random screen." Then noted how the stars were going backwards (after looking at ceiling window first). "So wait, we are going at warp in reverse?" edit: As well, when I went to another deck it had the old style hallways. how do we get the…
