In which case we agree. The game is indeed already build around DPS content. That is what I'm saying about how we've already hit the point of homogenization and that is the underlying problem and that diverting time and effort away from new content for a change like this wouldn't make sense. I'm ignoring ground combat from…
-
Well we care for the same reason we care when the devs make a change, it alters the game we play or in this case the metagame. Consider, if everyone in WoW played one class, that would massively effect raids, how the devs constructed future content, how enemies would need to be balanced and a host of other issues. Well the…
-
Agreed. Removing the class system would just mean trading the problem of one class being overwhelmingly dominant to one build being overwhelmingly dominant. I would do nothing to address the real underlining problem.
-
Maybe but classes thrive in games like League of Legends and tanks and healers are actually fun to play there. I just think most MMO's don't do enough to make those classes interesting. In LoL there are so many way to play a tank for example depending on which character you are playing. In most games there is only one way…
-
Fair enough. I come from the philosophy that there are no bad ideas, only bad executions and that the right writers can make almost anything work. Prior to DS9 I wouldn't have said having a Star Fleet captain assassinate a romulan would have made for a good episode but it ended up being one of my favorites. So while I…
-
Well there is the foundry too. That is where I go when I don't want to grind and there are some pretty fun missions there, but until season 8 come out and supposedly offers some alternative....yes the endgame is all grinding.
-
Well this issue has a considerable advantage over the KDF issues in that it effects people who play the federation. :P
-
Well I'd also like to throw in they need to make the crafting system sync up more with the mad dash to level 50. I tried to do some crafting on an alt and I couldn't do it fast enough to keep my crafting level match up to my character level. By the time I got enough scans done to craft something I was too high level to…
-
He seemed to have his opinion softened at least by that Cardasssian engineer whom feel in love with him. Well that Klingons started off the same way and became actually more interesting in Next Gen. Just because they were written to be villains doesn't mean that more cannot be done with them, it just take the right writer…
-
Oh of course. I think everyone runs alts to bybass the cap, which is why I said "much of reason" not all. I run many alts myself but I don't really play most of them, I just milk them for more in game currency. If they ever let me manage my DOFF from my phone I don't know that I would ever log into some of them again. I…

1. It undermines team play. If everyone is DPS than team composition becomes irrelevant all that matters is number of ships x purity of DPS. 2. It makes player choice irrelevant. If there is only one viable build it makes all our choices when leveling pointless since that choice can only make the character weaker. 3. It…
-
Even if they do, and they might as well at this point, that would just change the problem from everyone taking one class to everyone taking one build.
-
Perhaps, but then again it depends. If the 24th century media played the dominion war as the Alpha Quadrant verse the gamma the cardassians might have been painted as victims of the dominion. (Much the same way Italy avoided much blame that got heaped on Germany and Japan after WWII. Heck given everything that happened…
-
During the middle of a war with the Klingons? You bet they would. Granted the probably would put them on a long diplomatic path to becoming full members but they would almost certainly take them on as provisional members of the federation for certain. Under normal conditions, it would probably be a much harder sell to the…
-
Well weapons are the only system where you can double down. It would make sense if instead of evasive manuvers we had some kind of afterburner like toggle that drained energy from weapons but just about everything else is regulated by timers rather than power. Want to fire torpedoes? Too bad they trip a timer. Want to keep…
-
I'm excited for a ship based zone as ground stuff gets old very fast, particularly when you can only bring one crew member with you. I am grinding as fast as I can now to get an awesome ship before the next season comes out where as before I couldn't really be bothered.
-
They could always just make some sort of skeleton lockbox key that opens 5 boxes a month or something like that the next vet reward.
-
The Cardassians would be very wise to join the federation because, the Romulan Republic has allied with both major powers. Once we get our house in order and put an end to the brutality of the empress and her lackies, D'Tan will see the only logical course of action is to throw in with whatever power is winning the war at…

I believe their is a different URL for Tribble and the Main server as I had a similar problem once before and that turned out to be the problem. Double check to make sure you are going to http://gateway.startrekonline.com

Does it go on sale often?
-
Well as they say, "there are no bad ideas, just bad executions". There have certainly been stranger ideas that he become iconic and beloved parts of Star Trek. However the "just throw it in there because it is AWESOME" attitude is what worries a lot of people. From the screenshots so far these look more like something from…
-
I can't deny all that but if the Romulans have a working counter part, I don't see any reason not to sink my money there and just grind out Zen for a few months to get the Mutli-vector for my alt.
-
Wow this is terrible. I was going to get the multi-vector this weekend but now I think I'll save my money. thanks for bringing this up. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Game Thoughts: STO needs to improve its ground and really improve shuttle combat before it considers adding whole new combat types to the game. Perhaps integrating the two so you could fly a shuttle across the map and then deploy an away team might be a good way to go. I wouldn't want them to consider something like this…
-
Thank you for the feedback!
-
I'd laugh....but this way too close to being true. :eek:
-
Also keep in mind each series is its own animal. I don't know anyone that likes all 5 series. More than likely you'll enjoy 2 or 3 of them but find 1 or 2 that just don't click with you. In terms of popularity (it seems to me) most people like TNG but most people dislike Enterprise with TOS and DS9 being love it or hate it…
-
I'll just note it is very confusing also as a new player. Most of these currencies are not clearly explained at the outset nor is the logic behind which missions give what reward very clear within the game itself. I had to go onto the wiki to try and learn about what the Omega Marks I got were supposed to be used for (at…
-
If they make a new series I, really, really, really don't want to see a reboot. We already have that in the movies and what you can do with new characters, setting, ideas and the like is far greater than what you can do with old characters "reimagined". I wouldn't mind if they recycled some material from the aborted new…

Is there any chance that you guys could get Scott McNeil to voice one of these new dinos?
