Common MMO misconception - from a story point of view, your character is a unique snowflake. Thus, there are NOT hundreds of Vice Admirals running raound, only your character and the NPCs. After all, it makes no more sense that hundreds of characters all ran some mission and saved the universe, than it does that there are…

I want a PvP mode like GW2, where you can pick anything from a list of gear. In the meantime, GW2 and World of Tanks are fun...
-
Observations from World Of Tanks (where there is only PvP): Tanks bought with $ are not more powerful, they are less powerful (but earn more in-game cash.) There is no gear power creep. Tanks get nerfed/buffed all the time. You bought a tank that got nerfed? Too bad. STO needs a 'PvP' mode, where gear and ships are limited…
-
Ahh, but all AoE attacks are limited to 5 targets, even self-destruct.
-
Under the hood it's an AoE attack, I think. Didn't this get discussed by Borticus once?
-
I've been playing WoT(anks) for a change. One of the interesting aspects of the game is the third-party stats tracking for win/loss, etc. (Soon to be supplemented by an official rating system.) Discouraging to me as a noob, but it makes PvP more interesting by giving me some real metrics to work on.
-
So...someone who got in early on some over-powered design oversight gets to enjoy it forever at the expense of all other players in the game? I'm appalled that anyone would think this a good idea. ALL nerfs are fixes: they fix the GAME.
-
You could have 100 P2W consoles and still put out 'One Console To Rule Them All' which breaks the game.
-
Rubber banding is usually a latency issue, but your ping time doesn't look terrible. However, it might be misleading if you are getting a lot of packet errors - single pings get through, but actual info needs to get re-sent a lot. The only hope you have of fixing it on your end is that it might be caused by a faulty…

I've never seen the icon for immunity to this. I think there is none, since it wears off after a certain amount of damage done to the target.
-
I suspect the only likely answer would be one that generates more sales, which is why I think the answer is to give the KDF some Boffs and consoles that can boost BoPs (and Raptors!).
-
So...further fragmentation of PvP players, and further decline of quality in the existing queues? Boo.
-
Romulan Omega Wide-Beam Plasma Rifle w/ grenade launcher. Do want.
-
It is absolutely worth getting, because of the synergy of the various special consoles. So, on my TVaro: 4 LOR consoles, which combined provide: - A super shield heal every few seconds - A massive boost to torpedos in general - A super red plasma torpedo which is an extra weapon - A reset that starts my singularity powers…
-
You must equip rainbow beams. Special consoles include one that emits a smoky cloud that leaves enemies confused, but mellow.
-
BTW, the 'turn axis' problem with Raptors is purely a visual thing. JHeinig once confirmed that your ship is a single point in space as far as firing arcs and turning is concerned.
-
How about a slightly different approach: a (KDF) console that can be used by any cloaked ship that upgrades its cloak one 'step', i.e. Cloak -> BC, or BC -> EBC ? Costs a console slot, but could give you a Raptor with BC, or BoP with EBC.
-
If you run the mission as a captain you get a Mk VIII shield, and there was never a Mk VIII set. (In fact, the Mk X shield existed before any set existed.) It's just a shield.
-
I seriously considered a new KDF character to go through the new Klingon levels, then thought about reputation grind to make a viable character for endgame, and said - 'Nah'.
-
Aux2Bat popularity clearly indicates what is wrong with cruisers that don't run it - lack of firepower. It also suggest that engineer captains could use a cooldown-reducing ability to help them be viable.
-
I would have died while executing my sensor officer for incompetence: "Of course there aren't 5 of them, you idiot..."
-
Even if you removed Romulans, PvP is broken...but Romulans distorted it in all new ways. Romulans won't get nerfed, but the other factions can be buffed. I'd suggest that KDF and Feds need Boffs with useful space abilities for a start, followed by useful, non-warbird consoles.
-
What are the odds that someone whose username is 'kirk201o' just happens to necro a thread from 2010?
-
I opened one on Tribble - they do look very sharp. Especially with the Mirror and Veteran skins.
-
Just to clarify: I have an un-opened Temporal Destroyer box. If I open this on My Romulan, will it be the Romulan Temporal Destroyer? (I'm assuming yes...)
-
Strange as it seems, the Miranda actually has more internal volume than the Constitution class. It doesn't look like it, but the built up saucer actually adds more volume than the Connie's secondary hull. Someone built the models and checked the displacement. So if the Constitution class is a Heavy Cruiser, the Miranda…
-
It's not as bad as you are depicting.
-
Yeah, the key to starting is reading the posts in the PvP forum, following the links, etc. For example: Bootcamp guide
-
Nice! I'd be curious to hear what you think of the T'Varo vs the Norgh.
-
Red? You mean brown? I believe it does not, but it does have the grey/white skin.
