The first post inspired me to write a reply! Heck, I'm something of a sci-fi fan... when I say something, I mean casual watcher. And by casual, I mean when there's a spare 5 minutes. Then again, those 5 minutes are usual at the expense of something important or "constructive" (apparently). As an Engineer, I usually focus…
Thanks again for the reply. I understand shields are the most important aspect. Thus far, having had some experience with the mechanics, I can survive a lot with simply TT1 and EPTS1/3 up. The only significant issues I've had are with high burst damage, large damage from multiple mobs, or the Borg (shield drain, plasma…
Thinking about the ETPW x 2. Here is another build for BoFFs: http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=ModifiedCruiser_0 It has traded out one ET for one EPTW, and moved the AuxtoSIF to Cmdr slot, therefore ridding me of Aceton Field. This reduced the energy weapon buff and radiation proc, but I feel…
Another excellent reply to this thread. Yes, the build is for PvE - never really got into PvP, but maybe one day- and I'd love to take my cruiser out there if that were the case. I shall remember your offer for that. Now, onto the suggested build. The two EPTW provide a huge boost in damage, however, it sacrifices 1 ETPS.…
Ok, so my current build is somewhere around this: http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=Rebuild01_0 ASIDE from skills, which is purely theoretical. Skills, I have tried to build between the key features of survivability and tanking, plus weapons for threat generation. Let me start by explaining my…
Thanks for the replies - excellent information. I've been compiling some myself, so will add it this evening. (this will merely serve as a placeholder!)
Reading through, as I understand it, TT works best with EPTS/TSS (and other shield heals) because the heal is for each shield individually. Therefore, split the "reduction" between all, and you'll receive effectively more healing? Ok, so to work into key binds (only just figured them out - having fire all/some + distribute…
To both of you, especially majortiraomega- Thankyou ever so much. I'll be reading through this tonight and planning. And yes, I prefer (as a former generic healing holy tank) to be in the tank/ support role. Healing full time isn't my foray at all, I prefer to be the wall (in a manner of speaking). As a side point, I…
I want to hug you in all sorts of inappropriate ways. This worked to get the Launcher up... though went straight back to stalling on loading. All in all, still not working. But the launcher did come up! Hopefully that'll help someone
Still not working here - managed the VPN thing to update it, but I've lost the details, and the launcher still isn't working. Managed a quick bit of play last night, but that's only thanks to a forum member providing the VPN details
Strangely, I downloaded the launcher - that wouldn't work. Now tried verifying cache (Steam) -all seemed fine. Now for some reason, downloading the game again (4.4GB!) - Not quite sure what happened
