Yes. The phaser PDS is fantastic, even more so if you are running phaser consoles. It chews through fighters, probes, and even a 3 pack of frigates die in seconds to this thing.
This is quite different from my Armitage. I run two phaser DHC with 2 photon torp launchers up front, with cutting beam and two phaser turrets on the rear. BOFF stations are: Torp Spread1, Cannon Scatter Volley1, Torp Spread3, Attack Pattern Omega3 (or APB3) Tact Team1, Cannon Scatter Volley1 Tact Team1 Emerg Power…
I always thought it was funny how the Star Wars game is all about talking, with no real space battles, and the Star Trek game is all about space battles, with no real talking.
There sure are alot of haters on the forums. On one hand, we are getting a new ship. Yay! On the otherhand, it's the Vesta! Yay! Seriously, whats with the jaded responses? People knocking the older models because a tiny texture is out of alignment. Jeez, the STO forum community is harder to please than any other MMO…
I still bothers me to no end that the MACO and Omega sets are not powerful enough to outclass the Borg set bonus. A MkXII Maco set is still not as good as the Borg 2 piece set, and the MkXII is much hrder to obtain.
Yes, the Nebula is a science vessel. It has interchangeable mission pods for specific scientific research. in game, it has subsystem targeting and 6 weapon slots, and top boff is science, making it a science vessel. The Atrox even fits that description. This game takes place during wartime. New ships have to not only be…
I'm thinking that the Vesta will be the Star Cruiser refit, much like the Regent was the Assault Cruiser Refit. So look at the Regent, and have it lean toward science instead of tactical.
I run almost the same setup with the same ship. EPW2 -> EPS1 -> EPW1 -> EPS2 Reverse Shield Polarity 2, Vent Warp Plasma, and Aceton Field III (been meaning to change it, but I like the weapon dampening effect in PVE) round out the rest of the eng slots. Sci slots are Sci team I and Hazard Emitters II Tact slots are Tact…
First off, the Mirror Assault Cruiser is the same as the prime star cruiser. The Mirror Star Cruiser is the same as the prime assault cruiser. Secondly, the Vesta is not available. I am itching to fly one myself, but until then... Personally, I would skip the Regent, the overall reviews of it so far are lack luster, mainly…
I am having the same issue with the Intrepid Refit and the Nebula class. I purchased them from the C-store a long time ago, but the current store is telling me that I need to buy them again. I sent a ticket in-game, and the reply was that I had probably purchased them with in-game currancy, which I did not.
The Peregrine Fighters look rough. Some fighters that looked the part would help to drive sales big time. Fighters are already vanity ships, why not appeal to a person's sense of vanity? I don't think they look too familiar to the Valkyries from ST:Invasion. Pretty much any aerospace fighter design will have common…
