reduce bloom in gfx setting. If you got gfx lag.. it's due to ur gfx cant handle the extra load. As new releases/patches coming out, the game demands more gfx/cpu power.
Guys... some of you're totally missing my point. I'm not talking about his ship. I'm talking the concepts designing a beautiful and eyes pleasing starship. For example, the balance of the narcels and the saucer section. For example, the sideview of the ship well designed but not the top view. It got the same sideview as…
FYI... All the whiners... READ THE DAM ORIGINAL POST!! The charity event wasnt run by cryptic. It was organized by Groupes. Cryptics only donated the items. For those who been crawling under the rocks... learn more how donation/charity work. I wasnt able to get the t6 pack cause when I logged on and read the post, it was…
Just run a sniffer and network monitor m8. Don't trust anything you read until you check it out by yourself. Google the subject. People who post on this forum is either pro or con. The sample size is too small. As for steam, it basically do the same thing as ARC. I couldnt say if it would crash the other running apps or…
Things you need to know b4 installing ARC: 1. Arc wont quit after exiting the game. The best option is to terminate its process tree in task manager. Otherwise, it will eventually crash other program or the comp due to memory leak. 2. It's a spyware. If you don't mind it collecting your system nfo and web activity, then…
Well, I can nuke a normal cube in ab 10-15s. Not sure wat do u mean couple shot. My dps is ab 60k maybe lot more due to crit rate. That dun include extra attack from console. Tac cap can kill a normal cube real fast nowadays. STF been nerfed. The mobs strengght is ab 1/2 cmpare to b4.
A2B is only viable for cruisers. It's bad for science-vessel. It works on the new escort but kinda not so effective because there is a min CD for all skills. Ships that make 50k+ DPS aren't due to A2B. Hi dps is due to crit+ and severity+. My tac makes 60k+ dps in average, and the dps is coming mostly from dual torps which…
Check wait time for the pugs b4 you speak. Explain why the waiting time for STFs is shorter than that of other pugs? When I said most players, it meant the majority because no one is really playing them - Hence, the longer waiting time. You're the exception because you're either bad at math and don't see the difference or…
To recap my point: What is the point of Cryptics creating new pugs with crappy rewards? It's stupid and wasting of resources. Increase the dam rewards to motivate players to play. Rewards and time play must be proportional. Otherwise, no player will bother to queue for the pugs. Unless a player got a lot time to waste or…
I only have one thing to say to the OP: If you're sux at pvping, stop blaming others for your failures and whining it on the forum. The majority of STO don't pvp. We always got nerfed because of sucky pvper like yourself coming to the forum and whining just because you lost in pvp. If you don't have the means or skills to…
TBH, if the OP got that much lag, it aint worth playing STO or any other online games. We all know how it is when playing with lag. Hence, OP's rage/frustration isn't really about STO afk penality, it's the lag itself. He just didn't know it :D. Do a tracert and see where the lag is. Compare the isp tracert with other isps…
The firing rate of DC is higher than DHC. Most players found DHC better because they mostly play STFs where all the stuff are unshielded. If DHC is used vs shielded targets, it's less effective than DC because higher firing rate results more direct hit when the shield is down. Also higher firing rate has better chance to…
FYI, I've never playing anything but elite pugs. If you have to fly around in STFes; then truly, you're suck big time m8. Hell, I don't event need to fly around in STFes before they made it easier. Sure speed increases defense rating, but it only need in pvp in close range combat trying to out maneuver other players.…
That's your playing style not everyone's. Why would any1 waste power to engine while they just park the ship at 1 spot and blast thing up. Name any pug in game(except undine) that requires to have a fast moving ship? Putting power to engine while park and shoot is pretty much stupid thing to do imo. Either use that power…
Unless your engine power is at hi setting, Hyper engine wont do any good. That is one of the reason I don't use hyper engine since I prefer to concentrate my power on weapon/shield/aux. Well if you run a 2xb2a boat then hyper engine is ok. My recommendation is use combat engine and speed boost items/skills to counter those…
Use the new undine universal console. It's crappy for starship but extremely useful in shuttle event. It has saved my shuttle countless time from certain death while I'm under heavy fire. The console grant you immunity for 6s. Try to stay around 2km away from the targets. The aftershock dmg and disable any target within a…
I have a fleet mog with grav torp+photon+2 purple prjectiles doff. My torps r firing at the rate of 2-3s per torp. The whole dyson set give my tac crazy crit+ and torp crit dmg. It's not hard at all to hit 50-60k dps since each torp crit dmg is 25k-34k alone. Sometimes I got more than 70k dps when both torp fired…
Just run facility 2800 - dominion mission. If you already had a jem boff just dismiss it since you can always get a new one by rerunning the mission. Once you obtain the jem boff as reward, just use the option TRAIN and train the tac boff that you want to have thTS3,
Yes, only if you only trait for space or ground. However, you have to set up the traits every time you switch from space to ground or vice versa. If a player can fill up 4 rep traits for each space/ground, they already have enough traits to fill all the 8 slots in either in space/ground traits . Therefore, there isn't an…
Well with all the crappy rep traits revamp, I'm pretty much officially on vacation from STO since there is nothing I want from the undine rep. As for LTS, it worths every penny imo. You're getting free zens and perks. The investment is recouped with free zens. Hence, there is no complain there! Now, I'm just w8ing for…
TBH. im not hyped about doing the undine rep. It got nothing I want. So far the best stuff that give me highest dps/protection are from omega/rom/dyson. I don't use phasers/disruptors. I prefer the combo hi crit+protonic weapons. Also, the undine sets appearance are... UGly. No rep stuff have been better than the omega's…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main reason ppl play an mmo is the fun/addiction of building up their char by accumulating skills/powers/items. However, with the new rep traits system, cryptics basically telling players that it isn't. Players can skip a content now since any new rep system is optional for the char because…
Actually no. We all know that not all rep traits are useful, and I don't think ppl will reset the traits before a mission. Most ppl, like myself, would set the traits to a balance setting for both grn and space. By unifying the 8 rep traits, players have more options to customize any future rep system traits. The problem -…
Well, if you equally play both grnd/space missions, you just need to set ur traits up for both ground n space just like the main traits. Not all the rep space or ground traits are useful for a player play style or char career. I'm normally play the ratio of space:grnd for me is 2:1, so I set my main traits accordingly.…
