The whole argument of, there aren't enough KDF or ROM players to justify the cost to flesh out their factions has always struck me as a catch-22. There aren't enough players to justify the costs of adding ships and a full faction specific story. But then you aren't going to get more players for those factions, because you…
But again, my point is what is that 1 or 9 points actually worth when I'm firing a beam array or using a tractor beam, or adding power to my shields? That is what is missing. Not what the conversion is, but what does that 1 point actually do. If they included that information, while you were doing your respec, there would…
It's too late at this point since the skill revamp is already in place and waiting to be uploaded to holodeck, but what would really help is to show our actual weapon/system stats at the time we are doing the respec. I think it would solve the problems this new system is supposed to be addressing but doesn't. If I add 5…
Here's the list down in the tribble section about which ships get the 2nd deflector. (As noted in the blog it looks like every ship but the Oberth class starter ship). The Roms and KDF don't have a lot of choices for pure science vessels at the moment, hopefully that will change Secondary Deflectors There are three base…
I think a lot of players, such as myself who have been playing since or near launch, we just learned the iconography even if they didn't really make sense. Undoubtedly it will take time to adjust but I do have some thoughts on the new icons. As a player that mostly goes with science I will focus on those. Please excuse my…
I've had the same problem and filed bug report. I think the issue is that like me you were contributing "tokens" to the previous mirror event, but because that event is no longer going we are trying to collect a reward which is no longer available. I'm not really sure, but that is just my hunch. I will update if my bug…
Unless there is a glitch, you just go to the drop down menus under the uniform tab. Many items have versions for each set (standard, Hos and Quv). I think the Quv is the adapted set and Hos is the, complete all optionals for STFs set. http://i.imgur.com/zPWPBrr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kNW0biQ.jpg
My preferred kit is the Bio-Molecular Science Kit, from the 8472 rep. It gives you 4 research and one medical kit slots. I use this as sort of a general purpose kit, but it works well against the Borg I've found. I slot exothermic induction field, electro-gravitic field (slotting a geologist doff, which can cause a phasic…
Admittedly I have not read all pages of this thread so forgive me if this has been brought up already. At what point is there going to be an update to the quality and variety of grounds missions, such that an update to kit powers is even necessary? It's great to make an update to the kits but without an update to the…
I understand if you are the artist you would see this as an improvement on your own design. To the artist/s it may look more like what had been intended but perhaps could not be accomplished when the game was launched. However, from the perspective of a player who may have crafted their character precisely the way they…
Funny I just watched this episode on DVD yesterday. I hadn't seen it in a while and it took me a second to realize the rank was located on the comm badge. I do like the badge and it would be neat to have it available.
A curious choice to me with the science ships is the 3/3 layout. I understand the balanced layout for a cruiser. They are larger and slower and therefore more likely to use broadside attacks (though I never really recall any broadside attacks during the shows or movies) The balanced layout on the more nimble science ships…
I think the reality is that of the ships in this game almost none can be classed purely as science or medical ships. The Intrepid class is a light cruiser, the Nebula is a cruiser as is the Vesta. The Luna is a light cruiser, the Destiny is a cruiser and the D'kyr is most definitely a cruiser. The only real endgame ship…
I'm actually a little surprised there isn't a more Science lean for the Romulans which I though there would be. The Klingons are tactical leaning, the Federation is cruiser heavy but on the Roms there is only one level 50 ship with a commander level SCI boff slot and it's a fleet version. I would have figured with the…
I have to say as someone who was struggling with this mission like many others here, dying repeatedly and never finishing. I just finished the mission dying only twice. I am a science character flying the DD and I changed two things about my approach. I had been doing the hit and run as others have said going at the…
As a film to just grab a bag of popcorn and watch this sequel along with the first JJ movie are great fun to watch. My issue though is that it is trying to tell a story with characters and events we already know and just saying well what if it happened this way instead. I would much rather in both movies have a new cast of…
I've thought about what could improve things with STO in regards to end game PVE, STFs and the like. As others have said this game "suggests" DPS builds because in order to gain the optional rewards there is a time constraint. The content is telling players you have x amount of time to complete a mission to gain rewards,…
I made a thread about VM as well when I saw the change and people made a similar case about TT and ET clearing other abilities. The difference to me is that SCI ships are the most dependent vessels on their boff abilities. If an escort loses out on running TT for a cycle it's ability to do damage is lessened, but not to…
To me the best Star Trek game of all is "Star Trek 25th Anniversary" it came out on like 20 floppy discs and is pretty old, but it captured what I always enjoyed about Star Trek. Most games are about action, attacking others and the like and there is some of that in the 25th Anniversary game but there is also a lot of…
Actually the look of my "toon" isn't that important, just thought it would be a nice feature to add. I can enter a story mission and then queue for a PVE mission, and during that mission the pop-up appears to allow me to enter the PVE mission. I'm not trying to make it a big deal as you seem to suggest, it was just a…
So all your queues get filled right away? I've had queues for mine trap take 10 minutes or more, same with Star base defense, I think that is the 20 man mission. I'm not talking about when the queue is filled right away, but the times when it takes a while. And although you are joking about going to McDonalds after…
