all these mechanics coming into play that I have little idea about, heh. I'm new to STO. So you think I should keep my pulsewave and ditch the full auto rifle for a sniper rifle? I got crth x3 on my pulsewave but really I have no idea what mods are the best for ground weapons, so I went with what i knew in space combat.…
My boffs currently use a mix of weapons since I haven't conformed them to a specific set yet. One of them does use a pulsewave and that's what prompted me to want to try one. I was thinking of going Nanite Disruptor Pulsewave (I have a very rare [crth]x3 mk xii one), voth antiproton split beam rifle (I currently have a…
I'm a tac captain with a grenade satchel .I carry 1 melee weapon and 1 voth antiproton full auto rifle mk 12. I might get a pulsewave, though. A lot of people seem to like them.
Personally I would have gone for Crit chance or severity instead of damage, as I heard the [dmg] modifier is the most useless one. I would look for a warp core that enhances Aux power since you're a science officer.
Noted, thank you. So should I get EPtW2/E2 and keep EPtS3? EPtS3 really does help with survivability, but I guess with the hull heal proc on the Solanae 3pc will do it for me... while I deal damage.
The problem is mostly people who want to maximize the efficiency of their playing time. Being with a bad "team" in an event nets you less marks for your time (and good teams get events done faster as an added bonus!). I'm sorta new so I don't care much, but when people grind this event a lot, I can see their frustration of…
In his post, he stated some players can only play at certain times of day because they work and such. If the server is down during that time, they essentially lose a day's worth of playing.
I have similar experiences. I'm a tac escort energy dps build and I'm the one closing rifts! Also the other day, I was doing The Breach and I had to kill that voth dread all by myself because 2 people quit and the other 2 kept dying. It was an agonizing 10 minutes, but I wasn't giving up.
When I first joined STO about a month ago, I was doing a mission where I had to navigate through an asteroid field. I thought it would be cool and cinematic to put myself on full impulse and dodge asteroids left and right, hoping not to hit one because I was afraid I'd actually blow up. Well... I had a mess up and hit an…
Ah, yes. I do plan on moving over to AP damage when I get the EC to do so :P The only reason I'm using polaron is because I had a couple of Polaron DHCs and a very rare polaron tac console laying around, heh.
Alright I have updated my build a little: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=armitageheccheap_6557 I need to get through the rest of my missions to get the Warp Core shown in the builds, and do A Step Between Stars again for the Deflector Array (not sure if I want it since my current one adds a lot to my shields and…
Since I am not an engineering captain, I am unable to train my officers in EPtW/S 3 or ET 3. I checked the exchange and found no luck there, either. How would I go about acquiring these two skills?
I always try hard to get rifts and power stations up in the mirror event. I fly around the NPCs hoping one doesnt attack, and that my defense is high enough to make them miss if they do notice me. I only destroy the NPCs if I'm by myself near a rift and they aren't already distracted. And you have a good point that each…
I do something a little similar. I'm too new to know possible builds, so I just see whether it's a cruiser, escort, or science vessel and hope they aren't completely incapable of filling their role :D I fly energy dps escort (polaron damage because I'm noob and can't afford fleet or voth gear) and it disappoints me that I…
Looks like a solid build! I only have that torp skill because I already have 2 tac teams and 2 cannon rapid fire that both run full time and there isn't another skill I can put there that would be useful. And I didn't even notice the boarding party. I will definitely work on switching up my eng powers. I would really…
I can't even connect to the launcher. I open up STO from Steam and it says "connecting to patch server, trying 1 time... 2 times... 3 times," etc until it gives up and tells me it can't connect
I agree. I just got my Armitage Heavy Escort and the PD system is a console. It would make a heck of a lot more sense for it to be a device. I rarely, if ever, use actual devices anyways so I wouldn't mind giving up a device slot in exchange for a much more important console slot :D
