I feel like I've agreed with this before the first time they shut down and nuked the entire Tau Dewa sector and labelled it an 'exploit...' In fact, I have. Yet again, I see absolutely no reason based on these figures to ever play Elite difficulty again. Where's the carrot? Because those numbers are all stick. I'd rather…
I am hoping this is a typo and it means "shirts" - because that has been annoying me for months. The best-looking Romulan jackets are basically unusable right now because of the hideous clipping on the neck.
Seconded, Snipey. Was with you on those runs - and I know how long it was taking to get spec points prior to last night's patch. The alleged rewards are not commensurate with the actual leveling requirements. Here's what Undine Infilitration Elite yielded: [5:03] [System] [NumericReceived] You received 1,204 Specialization…
I'm not lurking for this one. Cryptic - WTF? Assuming benefit of the doubt for a moment, let's say there is some unacceptable side effect of the Japori grinding that had to be slammed shut before it snowballed - perhaps, as others have suggested, a dilithium break that couldn't be allowed to continue... why are you paying…
Where have you been? Some of the most experienced PVPers in the game have been testing this on Tribble all day, and they have been reporting damage that is capable of one-shotting dedicated tanks. Note the use of the word dedicated - these are ships designed specifically for the purpose of tanking, sacrificing a lot of…
With apologies to sirboulevard, but I'm borrowing his post from elsewhere: Cryptic, re-read the above and tell us with a straight face that this is a good idea, or accept that you've seriously messed up your math and need to fix it quick smart.
I've been around the block a few times. I know the game, and I know the patterns. I'm just trying to raise what I see as an issue - but thank you, for bumping my thread. :)
We do not randomly recruit - and that's really the point. The vast majority of people in my fleet have been playing for two or three years in the same fleet, and we all have a pretty high tolerance to this kind of thing. Even the most patient and long-serving members of our fleets (yes, I said fleets, as we have allies...)…
It's like I've found my mirror twin. Proof of ownership. The character's name is Hawkins, and he's my main. http://imgur.com/a/2XKNK#72 I may appreciate you changing it, if you do not mind.
I'm very surprised that no one has pointed out that ET and ST both function independently of Auxiliary power... And therefore are chainable by Aux to Battery ships without any obvious penalty.
Cryptic, I am all for cruiser love, but have you gone completely stark-raving mad? Did you forget that Team powers, be it Engineering, Science or Tactical, are all independent of Auxiliary power? Let me connect the dots for you: If you fly an Aux to Battery cruiser, then every 15-seconds, you have access to a 10,000-point…
Don't assume you know what all tac cruisers are using the Lt Cdr position for. FAW3 is not the only thing people use. Overload III, combined with Marion, DEM and the shield-pen DOFF are fantastic in PVP, and are far less susceptible to being scrambled. Torp Spread 3 is still good, and APB2, as others have pointed out, is a…
Your chips will be delivered, along with dip, following your first promotion. :P Incidentally, the fleet is looking at putting a squad together for the upcoming, Cryptic-sponsored STO Frontlines PVP event in March.
Friendly hello from the Ausmonauts. o/ ...May I offer some advice? Some detail on your fleet's current level of progression may be helpful for potential new members. I gather you have more or less rebranded your old fleet, so that means you still have all your original holdings. People could be interested to know what tier…
I'm guessing you were not here when the ship was released. The official reason they gave for not being able to equip more than one was because they were, I quote, "the highest damage cannons in the game". I believe it was Gozer that said it. (Former lead dev, has now left the company)
While I can't see any benefit as to why you'd want to use QHCs over fleet DHCs, OP has a point... There is no balance reason why a ship could not mount multiple Quad cannons. Fleet Mk XII DHCs already have four procs and do substantially more damage than Quad Cannons, so if someone wants to mount a rack of three, four or…
He's referring to the fact that any loadouts you have used on a ship are locked to it until it is dismissed, at which time those slots will be refunded to your account. ...So as you cannot actually dismiss one of these anniversary ships without losing them permanently, you will never get back any loadout slots that you use…
