I haven't posted in the forums in ages, but the news of a fed carrier brought me back. I vote alpha, because it reminds me of the ark royal-class federation carrier from starfleet command, and beta looks ugly.
-
number 2 is something both starfleet command and bridge commander did(although they did it with damage in general), bridge commander specifically did it pretty well, if you were to hit an enemy's maxed shields with a quantum torpedo they would just shrug it off, but if their shields were around 60% and lower, they would…
-
literally this, if you don't care about DPS at all, and simply plays completely casually then you don't need it, but if you want to do DPS in any way(hardcore or not), the tac version is a must have due to how amazingly OP the all hands on deck trait is, especially if you're tac. and don't forget, if your main character is…
-
the real reason there are so many alien ships, is simply due to the fact they tend to better and/or cheaper than the fed/kdf alternatives. look at the risian cruiser, which is one of the best cruiser atm in the game, plus its free and has free t5u upgrade, look at the jem'hadar dread which is still a favorite ship of many,…
-
let's be honest here, ground is faaaaaar easier(and cheaper) to gear up than space, maco set is pretty much the cookie cutter for everything but bug hunt, and all you really need for bug hunt is to change your maco armor for a CC armor and get fluidic antigens trait, that way you pretty much solved the toxic and psionic…
-
the scryer isn't really ugly, it has a pretty much standard fed science-ship look(assuming you give it the white hull and close that gap in the saucer). sure its not pretty, but its not ugly either. and its pretty obvious people only like the typhoon because its a "battleship", same thing with the jupiter.
-
well, they gave us 2 cruisers and one sci ship, so maybe a tac ship(could be a carrier too, but i doubt it, since we got the sarr theln), could also be nothing, cause why the hell not.
-
i'd like to report on a issue. the delta alliance armor's chest textures are borked on female characters. see this image. http://i.imgur.com/qHhc2Mw.jpg the leftmost picture is with the bust slider exactly at mid range, no issues so far the middle picture is with the bust slider at max, you can see how textures seem to be…

in PvE? engineer. there is no point in tanking, even elite content, if your party's tacs are dying, that's because they suck. IMO cryptic REALLY needs to adapt some of the engineering skills to have more utility in PvE, such as causing a debuff into everyone that shoots you while you have RSF up(like an inbuilt APD or…
-
i still believe the main reason there isn't a T5 connie, is because quite a few players would buy one, and never buy anything else. also, this horse is so dead, there isn't even a horse left, only its memory, please let it rest.
-
BHE difficulty hasn't changed, thing is, the bad players are finally reaching 60, and thus attempting to do BHE since they probably heard its "easy" somewhere, so you get dumb players that don't even use their abilities trying to do elite lol, resulting in lots of wipes. Rh'Ihho station is the same thing, sometimes i'm the…
-
yes yes, it does borrow from probert's ambassador, but its still its own ship and it does feel like an upgrade to the galaxy, and we already have the venture, which is supposed to be an upgrade to the galaxy as well, AND the gal-X which is also another upgrade to the galaxy, seriously how many galaxies do we need?
-
the guardian is basically the T6 galaxy, plus it looks good, there is no need for (another) T6 galaxy IMO, and i like the galaxy.
-
personally i would be happy if T5 mastery were faction-wide unlocks(with the obvious exception of lockbox masteries), it would be pretty good for those of us who happen to have tons of alts.
-
no there isn't, if you TRULY need harder difficulty, get a team and do elite, its nowhere near as hard as some people claim it is, like i said, if you can breeze through advanced, you can do elite with a good team.
-
if you check your damage logs, you'll realize that the pestilent is the most threatening enemy in bug hunt(it hits you for 300 generally, the ravager hits you for 100-150), if one is targeting you, prioritize it, also make sure you're using counter command set, its pretty good against them since it has psionic resists(you…
-
this is an incredibly stupid thread, if you want difficulty, go do elite, advanced IS mid tier difficulty, if you can breeze through advanced, there is no reason why you can't do elite with a proper team, check the DPS/STF channels and get one.
-
well, cryptic could fix this in 2 ways 1 - put a limit in the number of portals it spawns(when you close them all, the dread spawns) so you don't have to wait 11 minutes for the damn dread to show up. 2 - bring back old mirror event seriously mirror event is pointless, i feel like i'm hiting my head against a wall, it…
-
frigate pets were basically a NPC frigate in stats/weapons, if they're too strong, then its because npc frigs are also too strong. :rolleyes:
-
nerdrage, timebomb edition.
-
that's not necessarily true, there has been research that showed casuals/average players in general account for half of a f2p game profits, while whales account for the other half, while i'll admit that due to star trek "unique" fanbase, the whales might account for more than half of the profits on STO case, losing casuals…
-
that would make sense if not for the fact you can't progress in the story without grinding for exp, also LoR didn't kill the queues like DR did. oh i'm not wondering, i know this is the reason, i'm just wondering when will cryptic admit it.
-
not even normal queues, they're just as dead, also i was including normal queues when i posted.
-
you have an interesting definition of little lol.
-
the fact that cryptic needs to "quarantine" tau dewa, in order to get people to level through DR stuff, SAYS a lot about it.
-
come on now, the gal-x may not be wonderful, but it's at least usable if you know how to build one(preferably the fleet one), the actual galaxy on the other hand its a lost cause.
-
lol, no, i have 12 characters, i NEVER got an injury playing on normal, neither on ground or space, this is a bug, plenty of normal maps/missions for some reason have advanced level of HP, i tried doing the eta eridani dil dailies yesterday, and i noticed how every ship now has advanced HP despite being on normal, also…
-
it generally ain't worth it, its usefulness depends on the situation, if you can get a bunch of enemies shields to drop and stick close to one another, then yeah, it can be useful, gravimetric torp is still better tbh.
-
they'll only roll back rewards if they absolutely have to(as in, if the playerbase continues to be angry), its pretty obvious cryptic didn't like how folks could get a nice amount of dil in ISE/CSE/KASE, DR gave them the opportunity to kill it for good, i doubt they'll return rewards to its previous number even if people…
-
tbh, this doesn't mean squat because the HP of every enemy is still all over the place, i think i lost count of the times i've seen the SAME type of ship having 280k, 650k and even 950k hp when doing missions on elite, this is particulary easy to notice when fighting hirogen and vaadwaur(plenty of hirogen escorts with both…
