  • I would love a plasma omni, mission reward or reputation. I would also love to see a scaling plasma beam and a scaling disruptor beam. Preferably, they could come with a T1 ship from the Z-store, like the T1 Connie.
  • People are going to hate me for this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I hope the Tommy gun behaves like the minigun. I love it when the combat ends, and the BOFF armed with the thing keeps firing bullets everywhere! Regardless, I'm going to use it anyway.
  • Hi all. I haven't been on the forum in a while, but I thought I'd offer my 2 EC on the road map. I'm looking forward to First Contact Day and the Riposte event, but still not really sure what either will bring. The major Discovery update? I liked Star Trek Online better when I saw it as a combination of all things Star…
  • This announcement is very bittersweet. I'll start on a positive note, and say thank you for bringing two ships to the game that I have been requesting for a long time. They are two of my favorites. I am going to love putting my Fed characters in the T6 Ambassador, and I will probably be getting fleet versions. I also like…
  • @valoreah Cleraly you do not know the same people I've met. Obviously, the people who have left over this issue are no longer in-game, so of course you don't know them. (Need I even say that?) Now that you've met me and chatted with me in this forum, you can now say that you've met someone who had this problem. And I'm not…
  • @valoreah I think the thing you may want to consider is that your results are not typical. Maybe you have a natural talent for this game. Maybe one or more of the educated guesses you took while using the trial and error method worked, and you simply found working answers faster than other players. But I'm going to be…
  • Will we also be able to buy reputation weapons from the reputation store of different energy types? For example, will I be able to buy Lukari phaser beam arrays?
  • Karmaj, I feel your pain. I remember being in your shoes. One of the problems with getting ship building advice is that everyone wants to tell you how to build the perfect beast, instead of something adequate for your current circumstances. Coldnapalm has some good advice here, but to be honest, I did get lost on a couple…
  • "What could we teach better?" 1) How to get along on the forums. 2) Ship builds, as has been said by many. With all due respect, I think some veteran players have forgotten what it's like to be new at this game. Then again, maybe some of you have played so many MMO's before you got here that you simply knew what to do upon…
  • First of all, thank you to the devs for giving us this ship/card. I would've preferred an account wide unlock. Those are always nice. I also wish I knew for sure that it was a permanent addition to the game before I flew all of my toons out there, especially the ones that don't have slip stream yet. Even so, this was a lot…
  • +1, awesome idea. I would hate to see choice of marks go away, but to add it to a different queue each day would definitely get me to play every queue in the game. I mean, I might want to play every queue in the game anyway, but this would motivate everyone to jump on board. I think it would also solve the problem of…
  • As mentioned, the Enterprise-J, the Dewan ships, and many of the KDF ships. I'm sorry, but they just look terrible, and I wouldn't want to fly them, even if they were free event ships. I actually have the opposite problem with pretty much every Romulan ship in the game. Well, I guess if I took a good look at all of them, I…
  • For me, the game is all about the episodes. There is fun to be had elsewhere in STO, but it is second prize. I love expansions that drop a bunch of missions at once. @sirsitsalot I was tempted to skip (or skim) your post because of it's length, but I'm glad I read the whole thing. You are seriously on to something, here. I…
  • leemwatson pretty much hit the nail on the head. Play "Sunrise" and "Stormbound", once a day for three days, and you will have the weapon set and space set. If you don't already know, doing this is much less work than reputation gear or even fleet gear. These two sets, and plasmonic leach, are the core of my phaser builds.…
  • If you two can make ships work with any type of beam, then you are both better players than me. (I hope you were amused with my sense of humor, not my point of view.) I've tried many builds, and really, only a few have worked for me. When I choose a beam type for a ship, I ask two questions. 1) What sets work with this…
  • Plasma beams serve an important role in the game. Their purpose is to make the other beams look tougher. Tetryon may be good for this, too. Here are some stats about ship beam types and sets. (Anything grouped together, count the following number for each.) Reputation sets: Polaron: 3 Disruptor, antiproton: 2 Phaser,…
  • I don't want to get drawn into the DPS vs tactics debate, but I do want to add one point to the discussion. Some players with low DPS make good use of team buffs and team heals. Ditto for drains and debuffs thrown at the enemy. If my ship can only do about 8k damage, and yours can do 100k, but then I boost your damage by…
  • Last I checked, those booster packs didn't have any ships. I like your ideas, though. I doubt they'd go for weapons and gear, but I'd be into it.
  • Ok, I recognize the Nukara set, and the Butterfly set. What is the space set? Is it a 4 piece? If not, what's the warp core? I recognize the Crystaline console that boosts antiproton. I'm sure if I looked up what else it does, I could figure out what it does for your build. Obviously you have a second tetryon dual beam…
  • @echatty I'm guessing you're a much better player than me. I don't do well with escorts. I'm learning sci ships, but cruisers are my thing. The Ryn'kodan doesn't work so well for me. It's the lack of turn rate and lack of firepower (six weapons). Still, I'd be interested in hearing about what you put on your tetryon builds.
  • I showed up late to this discussion, so I haven't read everyone's posts. I just wanted to chime in and say that I agree that the amount of episodes we got in this expansion is meager. Agents of Yesterday felt small, as well, and now this one feels smaller. I don't like this trend. I see two ways they can fix this. One,…
  • Admiralty cards! They should sell admiralty ships in the GPL store. They could be lower tiers, or even all tiers.
  • Actually, I am hoping the event ship is a Vorgon cruiser. I would like to make a decent tetryon beam build out of it. I also hope the summer event starts before mid July. A summer event that runs into September would seem kind of silly. In my neighborhood, summer unofficially starts on Memorial day. That's when all the…
  • They have already decided what the ship will be, but I will speculate, anyway. I think it will be a Vorgon cruiser. As someone pointed out, it's the last of the three Vorgon ships. Yeah, it could be a science vessel, but all we got from the Lukari were science vessels. Also, I hesitate to call the carrier a cruiser. Sure,…
  • I never thought of doing both. When you do more than one during a recruiting event, do the account wide unlocks stack?
  • Ok, can someone who actually owns all of the equipment please set the record straight? Is there someone who owns all three of one type of omni (reputation, mission reward and crafted)? Does someone have the competitive, Butterfly and crafted tetryon omnis? Or, does someone have the Gamma, Time and Tide, and crafted polaron…
  • Picard was my favorite, followed by Sisko and Kirk. I do support the idea that content, especially more episodes, should come before high priced actors. There are a couple of ways around this, though. One is using sound bytes from the shows or movies, especially deleted scenes. The other is to use low costing…
  • If anyone besides KDF should get the Orions, it should be the Romulans. That makes sense for a lot of reasons. As I understand it, in the Star Trek prime universe canon, no Orion ever served in Starfleet. Still, I once played a pen and paper RPG, and my character was the first Orion in Starfleet. If Orions did become…
  • The red alert thing has to be a bug. The first queue I did was a red alert, and it counted. 30 R + D boxes later, the 25 queue prize is still locked. The red alerts are listed in the window for selecting queues, and if some queues don't count toward the prizes, they really should've told us that at the start. I would not…
  • I'm showing up to this conversation late. Sorry, but I haven't read the first seven pages. I just wanted to chime in with my thoughts, though. I think it should be a weekend event, not a two-three week event. I also think it should be account unlock. I made the mistake of doing this event with two characters this time, and…
