It was very Bro-mantic, being mostly based upon Kirk and Spock's relationship. The Klingon patrol officer with the pierced head ridge was very cool. Khan was a decent bad-guy, sociopathic enough to help others when it suited his own agenda. I didn't like the high-ranking Fed guy willing to kill his own to keep secrets. He…

The social interaction between alien and human faiths really all depends on other factors. If we show up on their home-world and they are less developed, we are not as likely to feel threatened by their beliefs and some of us may actually ridicule them. If they park an armada in Earth orbit before we have a colony on…

I have always thought that PWI's flagship game, Perfect World, could be a wonderous anime movie. The factions mistrust each other but must work together to combat the Wraith threat. Young people are more willing to create the diplomatic bridges needed for their people to work together. I first learned the Chinese elemental…

I scored an Elachi Disruptor Wave dual heavy cannons from the new lockboxes. I use a second set of heavy cannons and a Dual beam bank and fore torp. The awesome turn-rate allows me to strip shields, do a 180, hit the same side with aft torps (Breen Cluster Torp) then turn and do it again. I used to pass the target, turn…

The lack of Tact officer skills is a set-back for the Marauder, but it can hold its own in battle. I use Eject Warp Plasma and the Romulan Tractor Beam Mines to offset its slow turn rate by locking down the enemy. You can put a slow recharging torp in the rear, like the Har'peng. I used to use only single cannon and a torp…

Borg Sphere or cylinder shaped ship, because shape does not matter in space. Bobba Fett's Slave I or the drop-ship from Aliens. P.S. I like the Chariot pics from a previous poster!

A dark red base with bright red detail for a kinda, maybe, sort of Tron look.

Another design with dark purple base and hot pink stripes.

Jade tiger stripes on an Olive base, this corvette belongs to my Orion pirate gueen, Tanda. I guess I'm not the only person who had fun with the Tiger stripes.

I'd like to have an Orion Corvette. A low level Escort (10+) with stats more comparable to a Raptor than a Bird of Prey.

All great works of art must go through transitions, especially if they remain relevant to future generations. For example, the movie adaptations of famous comic books must change to meet the challenges of the different medium of film even if that pisses off the canon-loving fans. Remakes of "classic" movies serve to…

Feds have exploration missions that give a lot of exp/loot. Explore Delta Volanis Cluster for example. KDF don't get those kinds of missions until maybe level cap? Around 1/3 of those exploration missions do not involve combat, but have you run around scanning things. A bit boring, but it's exploration instead of combat.…

I wish I could give my Orion Marauder an eye-blistering paint job! On a side note: I used to play Champions Online for years. The level of customization available for costumes led to almost daily costume contests where prizes were awarded for various categories. It would be neat if STO ships could grow close enough to that…
-
Ah. That explains my issue. I have 2 slots that I cannot wear, modify, or rename. I thought it was because I had named both slots "Armor". But, now I see it's something else.

How about the Orion Syndicate as a KDF mini-faction? After a certain level, a KDF officer could have a mission where they can choose to either join or inform on the "Green Mob." Lovely piracy could ensue!!! The player could perform salvage mini-games on the hulls of ships she just destroyed. The use of ship-sized…

I'd like to fly an Orion Corvette. I'm guessing it would be similar to a Fed Lieutenant-Commander Escort. Problem is: KDF has enough great light warship between Birds of Prey and Raptors. An Orion Corvette "skin" for the Somraw Raptor with a few minor BOff differences would probably cover everything.
-
I agree. Add an easy way to delete the mail that we don't care about. I only want mail if it returns an unsold item I had in Exchange.

Sorry about the side-track. I use 3 single cannons and 1 Chroniton torp on my Marauder and 2 beam arrays, a mine launcher (tractor beam), and a Hargh'peng torp for my aft weapons. The cannons with Attack Pattern Alpha are great at knocking shields. Then I launch a torp, pass the target, launch mines, fire arrays and…

I did the same thing and was very pleased with how the Dacoit handled with Captain level gear. I have a Marauder now and I use Orion Slaver fighters. These are supposed to occasionally give me extra EC and commodities. I haven't really noticed that. Are those only good for PvE or do they have to be in Attack mode or…
-
Fighters are good for distracting targets in pve. My pet fighters aren't going to kill even small frigates, but it keeps 1 or 2 busy while I destroy 1 at a time. Even against another cruiser-type vessel, it makes them do aoe attacks instead of only focusing on me. PS, I LOVE the tractor beam mines! It's so useful to lock a…

You have a lot of valid points. I just want to point out that after mounting the best armor load, those extra Eng console slots could be used for RCS Accelerators for added turn speed. If Injector Assembly adds to turn rate, that could be useful also.
-
You obviously enjoy playing. Why not cough up $20 and buy a cool, new vessel?
-
Over 1600 replies to this thread? Wow! Lots of people have passionate feelings about this iconic vessel. That said, why assume that a flagship would be the most bad-TRIBBLE vessel of a fleet? A flagship is a show of power, sure, but it is also somewhat decorative and symbolic. I don't usually play Cruisers, but I bought…

I've been playing STO on/off for about a year. I deleted my lvl 50 Klingon and restarted from level 1 with the changes since the Romulan expansion. It took me less than 2 weeks to max my level. I'm glad there is still much to explore and learn. In MMO jargon, this is called "End game". Now, I have been an alt-aholic in the…

That's a good Top Targ chair, but I'd be afraid of falling off of that pedestal. Klingon Generals should have an option of a chair resembling the Iron Throne, forged from the weapons of your fallen foes. http://images.wikia.com/gameofthrones/images/e/e6/Wondercon-iron-throne-sheriff.JPG

I can't answer your questions, but I can offer my own experience. I recently bought an Orion Dacoit Flight Deck Cruiser for my KDF officer. It cannot equip dual cannons but is pretty fun to play. I also bought a Flight Deck duty officer from the exchange who gives my fighters a 5% damage bonus when they're in Escort mode.…

I really enjoyed this mission too. Parts were pretty scary. I love the pet reward.
