Yeah I went to Nimbus a little while ago to kill some gorn. There was only one instance and there was half a dozen-ish players in the canyon trying to get gorn kills. That was a fun time for all of us.
I'm surprised people are this upset about the campers. I do the dyson zone pretty regularly and honestly don't give a TRIBBLE. If you wanna be lazy and sit around watching youtube or whatever it doesn't matter to me. The zone flips pretty regularly. I usually only have time to cap 2-4 areas before the bosses spawn.
If they periodically put good stuff into the dilithium store or phoenix boxes with a time limit that could help clear out dilithium. Problem is the stuff they put in there is not super desirable. They keep all the good stuff for lockboxes and event packs.
Starship trait getting dropped from a saved loadout and even if you re-load it the trait is just gone and you need to add it manually and re-save your loadout to get it work correctly again. Sometimes when you change starships and then try to use a saved loadout you can't click on it until you map transfer. When you…
You're not the only one. I've opened thousands (most probably into the tens of thousands) of these boxes since they were released and have only ever gotten 1 epic token. I never really cared because I was only after the phoenix upgrades, but the drop rate is pretty abysmal.
The Excelsior is my favorite ship, but unless you get ahold of the Legendary one I would avoid the ship if possible. The normal Fleet T6 can be viable, but is one of the wort T6 cruisers in the game if you look at it objectively. I use it every so often and am always disappointed when I fly it.
I don't really have a theme per say. All my federation ships are using real life ship names. Registry is the first ship of that names launch date. Mary Celeste, Santisima Trinidad, Swiftsure, Poursuivant, Grace Dieu, Warspite...etc. My lockbox and lobi ships tend to have more random names, ancient greek monsters, ship…
I'm not a discovery fan. I've watched every season hoping for it to get better and it just doesn't. With that said I can see why STO is adding basically exclusively Discovery stuff. It's the active series at the moment so they are trying to capitalize on that. Additionally, there is no new content for the previous shows…
I used to have a Fleet Saber way back when. I only got rid of it because I ran out of roster space and dumped almost all of my T5's to make room for T6's. It's pretty sad that they are going to rework the andromeda model when there are several other ships with garbage models in the game that need to be re-worked. Personal…
I've been ignoring my kdf character for some time so I also ignored most kdf ships as well. I just took a look at the MW D7 after reading through this thread since I've actually been making an effort lately to work on my kdf character. I have to say that the MW D7 is crazy good. I would definitely take it over the…
Agreed. The lack of dilithium sinks has lowered the value of dilithium. The huge fleet project dilithium sinks kept that in check way back when, but right now the only dilithium sink I can think of are the phoenix boxes. Those are also really a temp sink and once your character(s) are epic'd out there isn't much reason for…
The last time they raised the ec cap the price of promo ships did not increase. They remained relatively the same, but now players could just get them on the exchange instead of having to seek out the players selling promo ships. The increase in prices for everything that we see now over the last couple years is tied to…
Way back in the T5 era I used to spend 20 bucks here and there on things I wanted, but now Cryptic wants 200 bucks here and there and It's just too much IMO.
I remember making a post about this a couple years ago with a screen shot of my ship. You could literally only see the tips of my warp engines sticking out of a giant rainbow ball. Obviously not a priority to do anything about it. Sad since some of the ship models are super nice.
I figured most people, at least here on the forums, were well aware that the drop rate for ships was less than 1%. We've seen these tests posted often enough to know that. I know that I personally have never gotten one while opening boxes for lobi. I have no maths to contribute as I didn't keep track of all the boxes I've…
Mine Trap for sure. It was my go to for Romulan marks back in the day and I actually enjoyed it even though, at the time, I avoided ground like the plague.
It's a little of both. I don't use ships with unfavorable boff layouts even if I like the look of them, but I also don't really use meta ships if I think they are ugly.
