(Trolling, ranting comments moderated out. - BMR)

I'm not a fan of the changes. I don't like the increased foliage and I don't like the new Dance Instructor voicing. Performance does seem to be better though, but I think that pre-dates the map changes. Would rather see more things that need fixing fixed, than tinkering with something that was already fine.
-
As they were able to virtually eliminate rubberbanding, from my experience at least, by doing a similar maintenance several months ago, I think (I sincerely hope) that it should be likewise this time. IIRC, it was a either a bad hardware or bad config that was rooted out last time, so hopefully the problem is similar and…
-
This I have to try :) I just dragged it out the bank yesterday and haven't actually successfully assimilated anything with it yet, despite a few close fly bys, vs the nanite torp which has always worked for me. Am I missing something?
-
I am not a fan of this change, it's come too late in the day to really affect anyone other than newer players (not me), who have also been screwed by the rep dil nerf. To feel like you even belong in TFOs with established players realistically you need phoenix upgrades to get gear to XV, because the upgrades that cost dil…

Ok thanks guys, he was already Fed aligned but is showing as not completed tutorial - confirmation of that came thanks to not being able to join the current Red Alert earlier. I will put some time into him and hope he can get back in to the bank in due course.
-
I agree this is a great development, and the persistent visuals also (can I finally say goodbye to the assimilated transwarp impulse blare constantly re-appearing?), but you are spot on about the skills. Tbh as a casual player I've never wanted to change my specialisation every time I get in a different ship as I like to…

The game has had a lot of issues lately. With the exception of a brief warning before emergency maintenance, what I haven't seen is any acknowledgment or apology from Cryptic for this, unless I've missed it. As I said in another thread recently, I think that's a problem because it already means people feel they have to…
-
:D Ok, I hear you loud and clear! I may give it a go at some point, but I am suitably forewarned! STO is the first MMO I've played, which is perhaps surprising for a gamer of 25+ years. I found it frustrating initially as I seemed to keep tripping up over important metrics I had no idea existed, and this continued for a…
-
Haha, maybe not then! I've had enough spreadsheets at work in my life. I like to fly my starship around and look at the pwetty things, maybe shoot the odd baddie. STO, there are far more positives than negatives in my experience, but lately I haven't played much else and that always magnifies the negatives. Why I think…
-
Is Eve Online any good? Serious question; I watched a whole youtube ad on it yesterday and it looked good but I know literally nothing about it. I'm very fond of STO and a huge ST fan but it's not been a great gaming experience lately. I start to think I need to diversify.
-
If it doesn't bother you guys, fine, that's great for you. Why feel the need to belittle the people it does bother, for the valid examples people have outlined above? You could have taken issue with the reasons people have given for their annoyance with this, or given reasons to advocate for the change Cryptic has made,…
-
Well the plot thickens, so I didn't realise progress is still earned once you hit That was indeed useful info, although I spotted this for myself when I noticed the campaign progress was still going up after 14/14. That, combined with gaining additional progress on the previous event, allowed me to buy out the balance of…
-
UGH! This is horrible, Cryptic for god's sake PLEASE fix it so we can have it to 8 or 6 slots etc. again if we want it to? I don't care about filters, never use them in inv because my invs are organised into neat rows of EIGHT! Thank you!
-
Anyone??!
-
Did you by any chance have the same exact endeavour the previous day? The only time I have had anything similar to what you describe is when I have re-rolled and received one I completed the previous day, then it shows completed until I change map.
-
D'oh, forget what I said about the tac seating, that of course is a uni seat, and as I only have two Sci boffs right now it's of course been filled with a tac. Running just one Lt tac feels a bit strange to me, but I need to get over it - I just looked at my boff candidates and had the purple Elachi Eng/temporal and Voth…
-
Sound advice indeed. Well, I finally commissioned her - USS Castel, NCC-106113 :smile: Come and wave if you see me out there... She's a lot of fun already, and tbh old habits die hard, plus existing equipment / skills means she's probably more of a tac tank than anything atm. I've reused the phasers up front, phaser energy…
-
I'm sorry for lateness of reply - thanks all for the in-depth input. You've all confirmed that there's quite a few ways I could go with this. I've eyed up some universal consoles and I created the kinetic cutting beam from Omega as there will definitely be some shield drain going on I think. The retrofitted assimilator I'm…
-
I picked up quite a few AFKs in the Borg RA this time, some were my "fault" for wanting to do it in a small craft just for fun (still works ok sometimes, but definitely not as viable as it used to be). But I've picked up a few in pilot / escort as well, just late to join once or twice and could not get the damage in time.…
-
I haven't played this one before but looking forward to it. Are the Risian corvette vouchers I still have slotted (1000ish/3000) of any use in the new system?
-
I don't have anything fleet yet. Tbh I couldn't see a way to contribute to anything other than the fleet colony coffer and have about 2000 credits now - I assume I'd need more to buy any fleet gear? I know more is needed for the fleet ships. I did hear in chat that you can contribute to armadas though so I'll need to look…
-
Well, I think I'm convinced to make the most of Phoenix whilst it's here. I should have decent dil coming in from mycelial event bonus until it ends so I'm ok offloading some of it on the 10-packs. The tricky thing is choosing what to upgrade. And I've got those 3x ultimate upgrades from the event of course. I did wonder…
-
I'm considering going to this (even if I have to pay!) Any other Brits going with any comments on previous years / how to structure the day?
-
Thanks for this explanation, and don't worry, it was useful - it's kind of the opposite to how I'd thought it worked - I'd assumed that if you just loaded out dhc's, for example, you'd drain your weapon power bar and it might struggle to recover in time for the next volley. I figured mixing things up a little might be more…
-
Thanks @szerontzur for that very helpful post. As it happened I already had a neutronium console in my inv - duh - didn't notice when that one dropped in. I've slotted it in the Qulash for now (more on that below) That's a shame about R&D - I can say from my new player perspective, everything seems to point to you needing…

Hi everyone, I said I would update the thread and as quite a lot has happened in the past few weeks, I'm herewith. For starters, I realised I had an unused free T5 retrofit token from reaching Vice Adm. I thought long and hard about the uprated Galaxy class as it's a favourite of mine, but I really wanted to try an escort…

Thank you to everyone who has posted thus far for taking the time to give me your detailed and helpful comments and advice. I will set some time aside to read and absorb and then apply all of this, and if I have more questions arising from that I will update this thread. Thanks again.
