As a long time STO player since beta, I cannot find anything wrong with Season 9. The changes to the kit system were years over due ever since Gecko teased them about two years ago. Some people may dislike the new trait system / reputation "nerf", but not everyone that plays this game took the time to grind out…
Might not mean a lot to some but we mentioned the issue on this weeks episode of RSA http://www.redshirtarmy.com/?p=1737 We highlighted what information we were able to find in this thread, figured it'd help get awareness out there for our listeners to watch out for certain key words in chat, just in case they might use…
Razer Naga + Razer Deathstalker (keyboard) WASD to turn in space, mostly tab targeting occasionally clicking the target if one is needed to be burst down. All abilities including swapping power between subsystems, firing off abilities, etc are bound to keys on the keyboard, or the mouse so I can quickly click any of them…
There is a method. However since it requires modifying your STO game files it cannot be discussed openly on the forums. All I can say is google is your friend.
End of Open Beta when the Borg invaded Sector Space and ESD. Inviting and then fighting Klingons on a Federation bridge (or vice versa) for epic ground pvp, on the spot. STF's used to be a challenging equivalent of a raid, the days of 2+ hour Infected runs (with no neon green bridges to prevent you falling into the plasma)…
Interesting... does anyone else find it odd this is coming from someone whos left and come back to Cryptic ala Dan Stahl style? Make of that what you will.
Will never happen. Cryptic has been pretty much anti-pvp since beta days (look at complete lack of pvp content in 3+ years) and the one time they try an extremely limited open pvp idea on Tribble, it lasted all of what a week and was swiftly removed, due to a few balance reasons and a quick realization this was never…
As Gaius said "It doesn't like to be called that", when referring to God. (which is why the ending of BSG was spooky as hell, especially when we see the robot montage of our current tech levels and what could become)
Not to burst a bubble but you can also get to http://gateway.startrekonline.com/tex/Choose_Faction_Cardassian.wtex The only difference is the png file for the Cardassian one is a fairly blank 8x8 pixel image and the Romulan has a Romulan image. So does that mean we get a Cardie faction in the future, is it all a red hoax…
Well, one of their staff is currently married / dating one of the Cryptic staff members. And of course Brandon being a former host for them, kinda gives them a couple legs up on the rest of us as far as finding out news before the general public does. So if you're looking for the early "scoop"'s, Priority One is your…
Gecko (and the other devs) say a lot of things. What actually makes it beyond the discussion table and into the game is an entirely different story. I'm still of the belief that if the Foundry had the system hooks in place to let you set up a map for pvp, setting up win conditions (like team a reaching x amount of points…
They've also promised new maps and revamps to the pvp system. For almost three years now. KDF and The Foundry have seen far more updates than PvP, while PvP has seen basically two updates in two point five years; the ability to setup custom matches (including cross faction) and adding the map Shanty Town. Beyond that,…
Well I know I fall outside this "4 hour" demographic, it's been a long time since I played 4 hours straight of STO. I'll log in a couple times a week for maybe an hour or so, mainly to help contribute to Fleet Starbase projects, and maybe log onto Tribble and check out anything new that could use testing. So during a given…
Unless you were super close to the target, you should have ample time to shoot down torps headed your way. Maybe it's easier on an escort running cannons and turrets but I shoot them down fairly quick without being off my main target for more than a couple seconds? Oh and you may wish to edit your post some, otherwise that…
We should start a betting pool What kind of Tribble are we getting this time? 5 Bars of GPL says it's something Romulan themed, petting it lets you get a couple points an hour for your new Personal Progression and maybe 2% DPS or 2% Dmg Resistance
Some of them did yes. Generally speaking, for example, I really didn't care for Voyager as a show. For various reasons I won't go into here cause I don't wanna spark a flame war. However, with that said one of my favorite episodes was when Species 8472 had transported aboard, and there were several quick scenes of Security…
Uh, I dunno about you guys but previous Star Trek games generally have been awesome. Elite Forces 1 & 2 are great (which is one reason I like STO ground combat so much) Bridge Commander was epic. Armada, Borg, etc all great. Even the older ones like Final Unity were great back in the early dos days of point and click…
Mirror Dan Stahl is a tongue-in-cheek joke that our listeners find amusing. If people hated it we wouldn't do it. I'm sorry you feel pointing out truths about the game and / or it's business decisions is what you could consider mocking or bashing. I could see how you might consider it "complaining" but when you've invested…
We do not blame Cryptic for any issues with our show. As far as a listener base is concerned, we're technically growing, not just with STO but with our other shows as well. The sheer amount of genorosity from donations in the last two months alone from listeners has been amazing. Our traffic is on par as usual as is our…
How many of those are active, weekly, podcasts that are still going? I guarantee that list of WoW podcasts most of them are either not on a weekly basis, and/or a good chunk of them are no longer being produced. Pretty much every STO podcast is a weekly basis, and on going (aside from the original STOked which sadly shut…
Remember when STO was in beta and we kept hearing how the "Genesis System" would allow us to explore and discover new areas, meet new species? Since the game is instanced per "zone" there is virtually no limit (aside from server storage space) to the size of the game map. There's vast areas of each quadrant we could…
You may wish to ignore the above post, I was not aware Kirksplat was Kirkfat. (Not a fan of the new forums and new names). It's a bit unfair to say we don't talk about the Foundry, now in hindsight, considering we've reviewed several of your missions on the show over the years.
I'll admit we are not heavy into the Foundry. That is what PodcastUGC, PrimetimeUGC and BroadcastUGC, are for. Shows dedicated to it. We talk about Foundry missions now and them, whenever people email us one and say "hey, can you guys check out this mission", we play it and talk about it. I think the Foundry has great…
