A very interesting lock box overall. I will look through most stuff there. Just a little bit sad to see that we get even more phasers yet again. Other than that the lock box looks like it will be a fun one to get.
-
Sad to see that we get more and more Phaser type weapons. I will mostly take a look at the traits and the default and vanity shields.
-
I haven't tried DBBs and cannons yet but I thought I would like to report some interesting findings on the Kinetic Cutting Beam. It may not be something new but I thought I could mention it anyways. By default the Kinetic Cutting Beam comes with DMGx4 if you have unlocked one of the Recruitment rewards that yields Ultra…

You both have given me some ideas to try out. Yes, I know I am flying a little bit fast. I generally keep my ship at full throttle to benefit from the Improved Pedal to the Medal starship trait. I do have different "power levels" to reduce any amount of speeding and overshooting so to say. At level 65 the ship will fly 65,…

The only thing I am quite dissatisfied with the current reputation system and lockboxes is that there are way too many phaser types out there. It is like you are forced to play with phasers. When they introduced Tier 6 I was hoping that you would be able to pick any of the standard or default beam types.

I think it depends entirely on what you are looking for in the game. I took an 8 month break from the game and coming back now I discovered the new Endeavor system. It's not an event and I can do these quests as I like. In the past I was hellbent on trying to get most of the stuff from the STO events but there is one every…

I am not really an expert at torpedos but what I have observed is that each torpedo has its own innate cooldown. Then there is a global cooldown which prevents you from firing two torpedos consecutively if both are launchable. For this reason I generally only use one torpedo... and when I do use two torpedos in the front I…

I would get the skill but other than that I personally avoid any form of armor penetration. It does help but I think there are a lot of other more useful weapon modifiers, starship traits, reputation traits and consoles out there. Were you to combine everything you can increase your armor penetration by a lot but until you…
-
Oh boy! Where do I start? Well, I will start by saying that I fly carriers almost exclusively. I always fly carriers and they are generally always my go to ships. The only times I really fly any other ship is when I am trying to unlock their starship traits. Anyways, I will give you my personal opinion on carriers. People…
-
I don't use any resistance consoles myself but I do have two traits that I can slot in for a significant amount of % resistance. I don't really use them but I slotted them in for a demonstration. If you are really concerned about damage resistance I can highly recommend the two "space" traits called Oblique Shielding and…
-
So this is a hangar pet one should avoid then? Aww.
-
I am not an expert at Tetryon builds at all so I am not even going to dig into that. I will leave that up to those who knows about it. However, there is another very potential build that you can make apart from Disruptor, Antiproton beams and anything else that has been mentioned here. And that is keeping an eye on a…

So much for Drain Expertise now... Let's see what else we can spend those skill points on.
-
Did you try a different PCI slot before flashing the BIOS? It is possible that what the BIOS update actually did was fixing an error in with the PCIE slots.. rather than fixing an isolated issue with the Nvidia 740. Either way, if it got solved then all good.
-
Well given the new scaling of Plasmonic Leech I guess the [AMP] modifier is quite useless now. lol... I guess high EPS and Drain Expertise go out the window now.
-
So how does Drain Expertise affect Plasmonic Leech in Tribble?
-
Lots of discounts and sales right before the major nerfing goes live. lol
-
I hope they increase the scaling a bit for engine power levels. That is to say, the speed benefit per power unit.
-
Agreed... and I always thought it was quite boring to use too. Not to mention it just draws aggro and may get you killed in Elite STFs. For this reason I created a build that was meant to emphasize single target engagement. Mostly because I thought it was more fun to engage one target and sort of duke it out. My build…

I wasn't even talking about Fire at Will. People seem to gravitate toward talking about it and I can understand why. But there is more to this balance than just that. And when you add them altogether what you will possibly see less combat performance regardless of magnitude and importance. And what I am more concerned with…
-
I hope they don't ruin the game. I don't mind if they change how some abilities work and what not. But if they are going to rework how damage scales toward power levels, as well consequently making EPS less useful... and also altering several abilities... In such a case, what we are looking at is a balance that could…
-
Is this balance going to make overcapping and EPS less useful as well?
-
Add to the fact that this Battlezone will stall easily too.
-
I would just be happy if you could select what weapons that they have... and that they still remain unique by the amount and type of weapon slots, and their innate abilities. For example, the Baltim Raider should have 3 beam array slots and 1 torpedo slot.
-
It is up to you really. If you prefer to play with different races you can continue to do so. However, human engineers provide excellent combinations of traits that some of the other races do not have access in these combinations. Some traits cannot be accessed at all by certain races. So if you are looking for the best…
-
All you really need to remember when being in the TradeChannel is to always post your "price" if you are there to do any sort of trading. This goes for both buyers and sellers. Too many sellers often spam the chat with "WTS ShipName T6" without mentioning their asking price.

The best thing about the Nvidia 1000 series is that they run cooler than AMD cards in general. Heat levels alone may not be of super great concern, but noise levels definitely should be if you ask me. And yes, if you are now looking at the AMD RX 470 you may as well look into the Nvidia 1060. But if you are on a time limit…
-
I would personally go for the 1050 Ti if I had to pick a graphics card in this tier.
-
I am surprised that so many people have these ships despite them being so expensive...
-
Ever wondered what it would be like to see the J Enterprise in The Breach? Well, I did it! And I managed to be the first one to escape too. I overtook that... whatever that ship was. Make way or be squashed! Stopping this behemoth for a locomotive may take a parsec or two. lol
