It quite blatantly scans your entire hard drive and reports its findings to PWE. Red flag. It installs plugins to your native browser without permission, and actively works to keep those plugins in place. Red flag. It siphons far more resources than any launcher program should need. Red flag. It hijacks installations of…

I don't know what version of Steam you're running to get that. Honestly I doubt it's even Steam doing it. Steam has never - repeat NEVER - popped up anything I didn't click into. So again, horse****.
-
As a guy who starts up Steam on a regular basis ... HORSE****. In all my years using the program, Steam has never deployed a popup. Not for me, nor for anyone else who isn't a PWE corporate sockpuppet. The only time you see ads on Steam is when you intentionally open up the "Store" page - in which case you were going…

Good riddance. Everything I have to say on the mission can be found here.

For me, the only hit was a repeatable space-based rep-mark source, pitiful as the mark incomes are on any such mission. The misses were legion: Forced teamwork in a game where only a small fraction of the playerbase understands such a concept. You will invariably be abandoned to fend for yourself. Nice idea on paper,…

Carrier pets die even more easily than separated pets, and take up to ten seconds to notice you gave them a command. If "insubordinate mayflies" is an upgrade, remind me never to purchase a ship with a deployable pet on a longer cooldown.

Not without bringing other Eng powers up to scratch to fill in the gap. You don't gut the only thing that makes a class viable while offering nothing in return, no matter how allegedly broken it is.
-
Aaaaand we're right back to the same problem the new Mirror event made perfectly clear. Cryptic hasn't the slightest notion of how to balance combat encounters normally, let alone with extra mechanical handicaps thrown in. Also, nice job invalidating your argument with the antisocial ad hominem.

Once the inevitable rift clusters happen, I go into fights with the assumption that I'm going to be losing a system every few seconds from the sheer volume of phaser fire. I am rarely proved wrong. Haven't seen this level of beam-spamming BS since the original minefield mission (before they nerfed spawns from 20+ ships to…

My work schedule removes the option of being picky about who I get on my teams.

/facepalm Really? Do you really want the uncontrollable pinballing of Step Between Stars to be the defining feature of a team mission? You think it's hard to herd 4 other cats into doing something productive now, try doing it when everyone's busier fighting their controls than whatever enemies are in play.

And that will be the day the game (and PWE as a whole) deserves to die. Your car analogy doesn't even come close to holding up. That car would be dead of old age before the gasoline became an issue. PWE is ramming an intrusive, resource-hogging, completely non-beneficial square peg into a hole that doesn't even exist. And…
-
That works when there's ONE rift. Post-patch, other than the first 60 seconds of the mission, there is never just ONE rift anymore. If there's more than one, the repops from one will defend the other, and that'll be the end of it unless you have enough firepower to wipe out everything. Most players do not. We're picking…

Good riddance to bad design. Give us back the REAL Mirror Invasion mission and let this overtuned zerg rush die the death it deserved months ago.
-
The major problem with this is that there are a LOT of ingame races (IE most non-Fed factions) that would not accept an offer of surrender. Klingons would be insulted, Borg assimilate whatever's still moving regardless, Hirogen simply want enough left for a decent trophy, and others (like Voth and Undine) would simply…
-
This right here. If there's even one ship bigger than a frigate within firing range of the rifts, you're not going to close ANY of them without an invulnerability shield (Vesta bubble, quantum shield, whatever). Because every single mirror ship bigger than a Miranda has at least one AOE attack that it will spam on…
-
It's mathematically impossible at this point. The event will only last for another week, and it takes 2 weeks' worth of replays to fill the project. PWE game design philosophy at its finest.
-
The problem is, this is STO. In 15+ hours' worth of runs, you can count on your hands the number of people who have the slightest idea what teamwork is. You WILL be abandoned, you WILL have at least one person afking, you WILL see rifts on at least one side ignored until they snowball into an unbreachable fortress, and you…

As opposed to the NONSTOP stream of xbox-live trash talk and childish insults that fill the Kerrat zone chat 24 hours a day? Please, pve elitists are few and far between by comparison.
-
Given how utterly toxic the pvp community is (moreso ingame than on the forums), it's hard NOT to point fingers at them when **** happens.
-
It IS a big deal to me, because PWE is asking (and you're cheerleading) that I: 1 - Provide contact info, bogus or otherwise, to a company that runs on the profits it makes from selling that kind of information. 2 - Publicly endorse a poorly-designed spyware program for any length of time. 3 - Cast aside my personal…

That'll be a valid suggestion when they explain just how Steam is going to bypass the Arc gimmick. They have yet to do so.
-
Granted. It just ate your hand. I wish for a wad of cash.
-
What really riles me about this whole thing is that PWE expects me to lie to the whole internet in exchange for a raffle ticket. It's unethical any way you slice it - even before you get into the security/privacy debacle that is Facebook's entire history. I don't like anything about Arc - it eats far more memory and…

You do know FB bans accounts made with fake names, right? And if the prize gets awarded to said fake-name account before the banhammer hits, you'd never be able to claim it because it's not in your name? Or is that too much logic for you to follow?

Like hell am I attaching my name to Big Brother. Try again with a realistic suggestion.

Please no. One iteration of that nonsense was one too many.

How many times is this going to be necro'ed?

If you're referring to the Defiant vs Lakota battle, the Lakota got a lot of free shots in at the start and was still bluntly stated to be in worse shape after the fight ended. That's a long way from the Defiant being outgunned. Infact that result makes it pretty clear that had the Defiant come in firing, it would've been…
