  • Until it ACTUALLY happens it just goes on the list of things that have been promised. Things have specifically been promised by Cryptic before and not delivered. I am not saying that are lying, but at this point in time it is just an idea of an idea or just a vision. It was something that was discussed on a podcast, if…
  • Do you have a source for that? Last I heard was that choosing mods was something they would like to do at some point in the future. That was waht i took from the Priority One podcast that CaptainGeko did. The problem is that the system is as it is, no amount of promises about future updates changes what will go live at the…
  • If it is going to take 3 months of constant grinding to re-max my crafter. Count me out. A school should not take any longer than the reputation system (only using one doff mission slot - so I can choose to burn through one school or try and level them all at once). adjudicatorhawk You should make the 20 hr "Research"…
  • I have seen screenshot from the initial build showing the chances of MKXII purple sitting around 32% with a purple doff at level 20. It may have changed since then, and since they fixed the Aegis shield bug (where it was craftable from level 0) I can't easily check myself. The real issue is just because an item is purple…
  • Why would anyone use the crafting system then? Want a MKXII green or white at a greater cost than the purples from the fleet store or reputation system, then crafting is for you. It seems that we want the crafting system to be a success more than Cryptic does. This is worrying for the future of the game.
  • Isn't that the actual definition of what a catalyst is. "Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction of one or more reactants due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. Unlike other reagents in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction."
  • 1. They are adding a slidebar soon or before release to holodeck. 2. Schematics will be convertible I think but hey will be entirely removed from the game. the caveat is the horta mission reward schematic which for all intents and purposes be left in (not doff crafting but a normal doff mission) 3. Aegis is in the system…
  • 1. They did state that this was in alpha. The problem is the they typically don't listen to feedback, when they do nothing substantial is done to address it. The other issue with that, is that this isn't really an alpha either. They are testing for bugs and only really looking to tweak a few things, the fundamental…
  • Firstly: "You want a solid chance at getting a purple MKXII you're going to have to get it cheaper from the fleet store, through the reputation system or a large amount of EC on the exchange." FTFY The point is not that it should be 100% free, it costs dilithium (currently, a lot more dilithium than the alternatives). Yes,…
  • No one has apart from the dev team. So, unless you are saying you are part of the dev team, I will go with Captain Geko. He says that you can't get to 100% but you can get pretty close. Considering that at the info I have seen (I am not level 20 in any school yet, myself) is that currently the VR % chance at max level…
  • So running the math in my head: Mk XII gear with a 33% VR chance means you will have to run it an average of 3 times to get a purple. That means we need an average of 6 VR components (2 per mkXII item) at 20k dilithium each. You will on average crit 1-2 times on the component doff crafting assignment. We are looking at…
  • Just because Cryptic are calling this an alpha it does not mean that it actually is an alpha. I would call it early Beta. According to Captain Geko on the Priority One podcast, there are only a few things that are subject to change, like costs and recipes ...etc. Personally, the issues I have are with the fundamental…
  • Nope, Captain Geko said in the Priority One Podcast that there will be no rewards for people who have maxed the current crafting system.
  • I just listened to the Priority One podcast (http://priorityonepodcast.com/po179/ starts around 22mins) and can honestly say I will still not use the crafting system. I currently have a master crafter and the signals coming from the Captain Geko introduce some really good ideas but alot of the fundamental problems that I…
  • I think these proposed changes need to be either scrapped or go back to the drawing board. Here's my feedback from testing so far: 1. Trade in materials 1 at a time - I assume that this was a bug or an oversight that will just get fixed. 2. Doff system integration - Please no. The doff system is the doff system and the…
  • This fleet has been completely awesome since I joined a couple of months ago. It completely suits my play style and everyone understands when RL gets n the way of playing. I am really looking forward to he things we have planned for the starbases. If what we have done on Tribble is anything to go by, it is going to be…
