I use the WEP trait on some of my sci ships. In the case of torp spread (and presumably high yield), the buff stays active for as long as TS is active. Once the volley is fired, the WEP buff expires. So firing your TS should be the last thing you do after your exotic abilities are all on cooldown.

This, please. The carriers are fun, but I would love a true Jem'hadar Vanguard science ship. Similarly, I'd like to see the Romulans, Klingons, and Jem'hadar get scout ships. I think they make thematic sense for all of the factions, since scouts serve to collect information in advance of their fleets. Personally, I would…

I think we'll see two releases for the California class: first as a Promo ship, and then later as a legendary bundle with the usual tacked on fluff that no one really wants (level boost, single character unlocks of the STLD weapons and uniforms, etc.) It's the headlining ship of a show, there's no way it doesn't eventually…

Electrified Anomalies. Could it possibly be any louder? You're pretty much not going to hear anything else if you're using it
-
Yes, it was part of the Klingon War arc for Starfleet and had Ja'rod show up as the main antagonist. The mission was more or less an STO version of the episode Friday's Child (it was even called Saturday's Child) and IIRC did feature a pre-warp society who both Starfleet and the KDF were negotiating for resources with.

No, that actually is unreasonable. Microsoft itself no longer supports Windows 7. Any new security vulnerabilities or exploits that are found are not going to be patched out, and over time more and more will be found. Why should the devs continue to support a product that is a security liability?
-
Mirror Borg live in an anarcho-syndicalist commune in which the drones take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs and by a two-thirds majority in the case…

There was a space adaptation mechanic years ago, in the original S'harien's Swords mission. The space boss fight at the end of the mission was against an assimilated Tal'Shiar Valdore, the IRW Esemar, which could adapt to your weapons though it would basically be either your energy weapons or your torpedo weapons. The way…
-
I wouldn't mind seeing something from the edges of the Romulan or Klingon empire in the Beta quadrant as the next big bads. Maybe it could be a species that the Romulans conquered and displaced centuries ago, and now they're back for revenge after spending a couple hundred years building up their strength and stewing in…
-
I agree, story content is what I want and I wish there was some way for us to demonstrate that (though I'm not keen on having to pay for new missions). Lately, I've been wondering if the reason we're getting fewer and fewer story missions is because of all the voiceover they're adding to every mission. That stuff takes…
-
It would be nice if they addressed it in some significant way. She officially became captain by killing our DSC captains' mirror counterpart, you'd think it would be a really big deal for them to be coming face to face again.
-
Nope. There's some slightly different banter between the PC and Killy on the way to the turbolift after the briefing at the start of the mission, but noting addressing how the PC survived the assassination attempt but also made it into the future like Killy did. This was the only thing about the new mission I found…
-
I never assumed that my characters were the emperor, and nothing in the previous episode suggested that they were anyway. It's not something that would work, for a lot of reasons (first and foremost being that PCs can be any species, and Terrans would never accept an alien as their ruler, especially in the case of Klingons…
-
This is what I tend to use as my rule of thumb. Though sadly, I don't think any naming convention will let you use Richard Bong for your ship (he was America's top figher ace from WW2)
-
Here's hoping the bundle either isn't too ridiculously bloated/overpriced or that the trait/stats are ignorable
-
STO's Twitter account posted a shot of a Nebula class over the weekend, perhaps a hint that we're getting a legendary version?
-
If all you're interested in is the ship, then you should be able to run the new episode and/or TFO for two points of progress and you can ignore the Omega stuff. The attraction with Omega is less the event progress and more the upgrades you can make from collecting the molecules.
-
The Khitomer battle cruiser has a standard cloak, not a battle cloak. The Temer raider is the only Alliance ship with a battle cloak. Maybe the internal logic of the devs is that Starfleet has less experience with cloaking technology and it's therefore harder to get it working as efficiently with Starfleet equipment and…
-
*sigh* Yeah, a carrier. Disappointing, but as expected. IIRC the previous two Alliance ships were command spec, so I expect this will be as well. They tend to come with antiproton weapons, I think it's a safe bet that the squadron pets will too.
-
Well, they've already done an Alliance cruiser and a raider/escort. Next ship will most likely be science focused. Most of the time, when they do an event sci ship, it ends up being a carrier. So I think it's a pretty safe bet that this'll be Kael's teased carrier.
-
I would guess it's a Legendary Nebula/Prometheus or they may be finally introducing the California class as a 3 variant bundle if not a legendary. The California would qualify for legendary treatment under the (rather nebulous) requirements the devs use, since it headlines its own show.
-
They've done a cruiser and a raider, generally the pattern would make a sci carrier or a dreadnought next. Not unexpected, but still disappointing that they're going with a carrier over a proper sci ship. Whatever it is, I suspect it'll be a Fed/Romulan design
-
Perhaps the singularity cores didn't require dilithium as a power regulator onboard ships, but required it as part of the process for creating the singularity itself. And perhaps the process the Romulans used caused the dilithium to be completely consumed, thus creating the need for the Reman mining operations, and why…
-
I don't understand why the Jem'hadar wouldn't have scientists in their ranks. They're just as likely to run across various anomalies in space and on different planets as Starfleet is, why wouldn't they want some of their soldiers to be trained to analyze and evaluate the potential danger or usefulness of these phenomena?…
-
I dunno, I think Odo would see the value in having dedicated science vessels in his fleet after his time working with Starfleet. At the very least, I think he would want some scout ships along the lines of the Nova/Rhode island. One of the things I'd love is a KDF, Romulan, Dominion scout pack. Though the devs seem to have…
-
You're right, but there must be some way to strike a balance between old and familiar and radically new. IMO the Defiant, Saber, and Steamrunner all did a good job of taking the Starfleet aesthetic and playing with it to create new ships that still looked like they belonged in Starfleet. The DSC ships, on the other hand,…
-
I wouldn't mind the Eisenberg so much if it didn't have that awkward tail sticking out the back. IMO it looks tacked on and disrupts the visual flow of the ship. I can't figure out what it's meant to accomplish aesthetically
-
Oh there are definitely racist, homophobic, and worse self-professed Star Trek fans. As ham-fisted as some of the morality stories were, there are still people who completely missed the point (hmm... one alien is white on the right and black on the left, and he really hates the alien who is black on the right and white on…
-
I think in STO terms, that would equate to a single hangar that can only equip support pets. But my point was less that I think the Eisenberg should have a hangar slot (I don't particularly care either way if it does) and more that those battleships aren't necessarily the best examples for why size =/= carrier.
-
Can't agree with this more, getting Mignogna involved would be a staggeringly bad idea
