Fly a T5U TEMPEST beam boat, and luv the hell outta it! :) As a beamboat you can focus on phasers, and buff the NADION BOMB (nice AOE), and tailgun (lots of crits) at the same time (all phaser dmg based). It has a lt. CMDR universal seat for flexibility (I like SCI in there for gravity well). It's not super tanky tho.
I'd go inde in a hot second, imagine the custom ship grafix and uniforms you could run with alone!! Somebody tell CRYPTIC there's a butt load of money to be had playing SPACE BARBIE. If they had a "GALAXY RANGER" career, I'd go lifetime sub.
I think it's a great idea, but I might just be an idiot... The faction would be "INDEPENDENT". Once "x" level in whatever existing faction is met, you could "resign" your commission and go INDEPENDENT. Several systems would need to be added, an economy (like ELITE, or FREELANCER), a "justice" reputation system, etc. An…
wha? MIRACLE WORKER is my "oh TRIBBLE" button to get outta trouble quicker than I got into it. Combined with EVASIVE MANEUVERS that's a 100% get outta jail free card. The trait that let's you insta-use it twice in a row is even more ridiculous :) Aside from the fact it's not a DPS button, how is it not good in the current…
you forgot to factor in the "I suck" factor ;) Seriously, I'll admit I barely use it now with my current build. There are sooo many tanky sets it's astonishing.
Just picked up that Hierarchy BOFF last night, he's also INTEL... saw the PIRATE and EFFICIENT trait and was sold! I can confirm that the BORG boff from the CSTORE has EFFICIENT. If yer a HESTIA ADVANCED ESCORT fan, there's a ready made KOBALI ENG/CMD BOFF hidden in the maze in the mission ASHES to ASHES:…
There are some hella big nasty grave wells thrown out there, sometimes by multiple NPCs in a short period. Evasive maneuvers (there's a skill that buff it to break all holds), is the only reliable getaway if it's not on CD.
WHA!?!! Somehow DOFF LAW didn't drop for me... are you saying I can't get him by replaying? Just read the dev update... so I can replay for the DOFF? What might this do to the economy? You could play sell, and re-acquire and see a DOFF from mission over and over (I did NOT sell LAW!!!! I never got him).
I've been thinking along these lines for a while... Something like an "independent" faction, with a career focus on trader/merchant/freight, pirate, mercenary, etc. I could see career specific skills/traits, and an economic system to go along with it: - Buy product/ship product - intercept shipments, raid stations, etc. a…
Wait, someone not only referencing a model kit in 2016, but openly admitting to wiring lighting!??!? I brand you GEEK, and I salute you gentle sentient! I had been eyeballing that model on AMAZON for a while, I'd luv to see yer finished build. THAT DOES IT!!!! I'm gonna prompt ATLANTIS to file a "cease and desist", so we…
Perhaps warp technology led to the destruction of their original planet, and they opt'd to ban it on arrival on their new moon? Over time it became a "lost wax casting method" as the warp tech taboo faded with new generations?
TRION DEFIANCE... LOL! Disagree that the majority of console players are PVP. In fact PVP parasites ruin many a great game (mostly by crying nerf in forums).
Console peasant here... That spork is amazing. Would bang 10/10 It's a great game, I hope CRYPTIC is reaping the console cash and will re-invest in the game. They could tide us over if they could get the fleet stuff activated... Or give us a CSTORE T6 TEMPEST :)
It's pretty bad with PUGs on console. I start on the edges and clear out the 75%, the rest of the idiots fly in and proceed to be blow'd up continually until they drop out, by the time I get to the cap ships, the timer expires. F#*^ TIMER!!! I could solo it if there was enuff time.
