  • Most recently, Starfleet Academy Event on Tuesday morning. In fact, 90% of the time I hear such things it's at Starfleet Academy.
  • I think the best way would actually be your in game handle.. I'll help, if you reciprocate. There's also this person looking to create a one-man fleet: sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=310311&page=2 I'm @quiverbox .
  • I'm in, if you'll reciprocate. It sounds like maina is willing to help. And then there's this person: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=309421 Sounds like you might have four. I'm @quiverbox .
  • It actually does not surprise me, but unfortunately caution is a lesson everyone must learn. But let's talk about STO, not real life. Real life is depressing. "Taking advantage of another person" has a couple of different practical interpretations. It really just means that one person has an advantage relative to another,…
  • TRIBBLE that. I want the broken Druid that can wildshape into a Tarrasque. I eat your recursive bears!
  • That is odd. I guess they didn't want the trait required for Andorians? Ferengi are pretty rare. Which is not surprising considering all of the Ferengi/Judaic hate speech that goes on in Zone chat.
  • Yes, but it being listed as-is is a sign to the buyer that they should check out the merchandise to see if it is worth the asking price. And there are no lemons in STO (well, I've received a few data pads that couldn't be used-- but there are certainly no lemon dilithium crystals, which is the issue here). Hmm... lemon…
  • I got $1.82. We're rich!
  • In the real world, there is also product differentiation. In STO there is no such thing, not even perceived product differentiation. Dr. Awesome T. Crafter's Aegis set is exactly the same as Mr. John P. Doe's Aegis set, and no player has any illusions about this (at least I hope they don't... ). There are myriad reasons…
  • True. But more to the point, Zen is a luxury good. I fail to how "taking advantage" of other players in this way is even possible. If Zen were a necessity-- rather, if there were ANY necessities in the game-- we could have this discussion. You can't take advantage of someone simply by offering a luxury good for a high…
  • This is the normal reason to get this message (in this case "normal" means "not right after a major update"). For me at least, refreshing the list brings up the exact same prices, which is a sign that this is not the normal behavior of the exchange. For example: Suppose I search for contraband, and there is exactly one…
  • I couldn't even buy things from the exchange that aren't required for starbases (contraband, tachyon wave particles, and boffs). Give it a day or two, it's probably just a glitch.
  • You are a terrible person for bringing this up.
  • Awkward, but also win.
  • Letheans aren't objectively ugly, they just aren't sufficiently humanoid and/or do not come playable as females with DD TRIBBLE. You could make something similar to such a lanky blue woman with the trait Telekinetic (I think that's what it's called).
  • This. Also... when your science officer is PVPing in a science vessel, and you deal twice as much damage as anyone else on your team.
  • I'm still not sure why everyone thinks so poorly of Drozana. It may be seedy-- sure the lights flicker constantly, and the HOLO-Leta is creepy, and it usually has some players goofing off-- but DS9 seems to attract *******s. As in bigots. Perhaps this is just my own personal experience?
  • Yeah, I'm not convinced anyone has ever played Pakled. They were memorable, but not in a good way. It sounds like the consensus is that there are few Letheans because they aren't pretty? Whatever. My pretty Bajoran fed captain would totally do some unconscionable things with my hot Lethean captain.
  • Mop!? I was only given a toothbrush :(
  • I believe arcademaster was agreeing with you when you said, "... but it still makes me chuckle when some bang their fists and demand it now, but require it to have no bugs what so ever."
  • It's entirely possible, but given the exchange rate for cp-->zen I would still be somewhat surprised. The logic being that if a player has, say, 800 CP in their account tonight, then tomorrow they should have 1000 Zen, and I would guess that a math-challenged player would look at this seeming "increase" as a win. But then…
  • That's my default response when targeted. But this guy claimed he wasn't going after me specifically, he was going after all science ships. And I don't remember being against him in a previous session. He was vague about the reasons, which is why I'm here picking the brains of everyone else. But, yeah: being targeted =…
  • That makes me sad. I pvp'd once with him yesterday (same name & same ship, at least), and he actually seemed cool. Although, my standards are often low. I had warm fuzzies because he knew that "Erdos" is the namesake of one of my favorite mathematicians. I need to get out more.
  • I'm sure you do, not really the point of the thread though. Subnucleonic Beam is inherent to the sci officer, not the ship. Since we're discussing tactics now, and you're not in a science ship, let me explain how subnucleonic beam works. It has a 90' forward targetting arc, and a 2 min CD. So, if I'm alone and trying to…
  • He did indeed. I did not catch his handle or fleet, just a very common character name. Damn, I could've really used that head for my trophy wall.
  • Oh, it's fine. If crying is what brings them enjoyment, then I certainly wouldn't want to diminish their enjoyment. Thus, I strive to give them more to cry about. ;) I just haven't heard this complaint in a LONG time, and wondered if I was genuinely missing something. A crusade against science ships seems ridiculous at…
  • Yes, long, long ago. Maybe he didn't get the memo, and assumed the devs haven't changed anything since the game launched. Or perhaps he tried going solo against a full group that happened to include a science vessel, and decided that the U.S.S. lolpwn would have pwned them hard all by itself if it hadn't been for that…
  • Having red disks is overpowered. All disks should be black, for balance. Obviously.
  • I didn't actually know that tactical captains in science ships were that common... I figured there was not enough dps for most of them. Could be. It seems that the only boff abilities that could be very devastating are PSW III and Feedback Pulse (which is apparently being affected by Tac captain abilities again?). The…
