  • Possible - but honestly I need to up my game a little anyway. I admit to not being as well versed in my abilities as I would like - even though I have a fair grasp of common builds I need to improve my knowledge of abilities, skills, etc. Am in a small guild, people not often on, and to be honest I don't think I've ever…
  • Sorry, L51 Fed Aligned Rom Tac (Yes, FAW II already on board...ship currently balanced to 100% attack - I suppose that's something I can fiddle with now that I notice...)
  • The white circle surrounds the appropriate system on the Area Map (" Ra'kholh system") - it just gives me a star and a system name when I show up there with no "enter system" prompt and no system shows up in the middle of the white circle. This time I waited awhile, came back in, and set course via the SYSTEM tab of the…
  • Thanks for all of your responses - I'm sure its the security console issue. I kept going in and killing all the enemies THEN looking for the consoles, and sometimes letting new enemies beam in. One run I could have sworn there was a console selectable then it disappeared, and on others I didn't detect any - probably waited…
  • I feel the rewards for the "weekend events" and stfs have become lackluster. You are certainly entitled to disagree. I did not even intend to address the Delta event in my message. As for delta, I'm unsure yet of how the rewards will go, as I haven't yet "unlocked" any of the account rewards - so far the rewards to the…
  • From what I've read in these forums, they're attacking 3 sources of what you loosely call "lag." This past patch was only designed to fix one of them - I think it was lowered frame rates in sector space. What I read (in this forum) said they were also doing research at the network level and over time going to redo certain…
  • I usually wrap both wrists and my right arm when I work on the PC, and when I play games, including STO. Its easy for those who have not yet had the pleasure of repetitive stress or pain or bone breaks to not take this seriously. Be warned, It can, and will, likely happen to you at some point. You will also age.
  • Got an email a short time ago confirming the purchase - so problem solved. still curious, though, I sure hope all the protection is worth it...
  • [Stargate SG-1 reference - DJ = Daniel Jackson] If you're asking what the 7th point was for, Daniel told the Army it was to specify the origin of the gate, which allowed them to lock the 7th symbol and go to Abedos. Perhaps you are suggesting that season 13 of STO be "3D travel", by which you mean the galactic map is "true…
  • Very cool if it updates automatically, but I can't remember which sectors were in each block, and I have to rush to complete assignments before my ship crosses the sector boundary and updates. So if we're DOFFING we have to enter a sector, stop, DOFF, start, enter new sector, etc. That's actually a lot more work than the…
  • I've only read a small portion of this thread. I think timed boosts are very wrong for a whole number of reasons. Except in cases where real time response is critical to the gameplay, everything should be as self-paced as possible. I believe this strongly in all walks of life including software development and gameplay for…
  • I play for PVE only. If PVP slows down servers or causes game design alterations, I would be just as happy if it were a separate game. Trying to balance for both hasn't worked out right in other MMOs. If PVP causes PVE to be unplayable, I'll go elsewhere. I think all these PVP threads are designed to make the game…
  • Hmm.. fascinating... Very tempting after the event to try one and find out...
  • I'm gonna choose the satis-faction... (Sorry, so many discussions of this...getting dizzy...)
  • Op, why Fed or KDF and not Rom? Just wondering if I'm missing something...
  • So will the exchange be flooded with Aegis items now? I worked long and hard on my main getting to 15 (took months), now spending a fair bit of time and resources on RnD assistants (48 hours per) and such trying to get him, spent on several vaadwaur boxes to get the other purple RnD Doffs for my main so he is my go-to…
  • (Just let me clarify, I'm trying to compare fleet items to project rewards to what would be upgraded versions of new FE loot..I agree about ignoring trash loot except for EC farming maybe, but I've got my own preferred ways to raise EC.) (Thanks to your responses so far...always helpful to hear others' ideas, and procs,…
  • Y'know, I've read Taco's forum posts and I really like how he engages with the user base, and from one or two of his posts I suspect he may have the same sour cynical sense of humor as I do. Of course I have concerns about abandoning my main, and that's why I voice them, so the dev team will adjust so it isn't that much of…
  • Still polishing my build on my main - its a fairly high DPS plasma beam boat for which I'm crafting various upgrades to step up my game, and I instinctively felt the same thing you just stated, but didn't have the confidence or experience to say/confirm it. (Even on my beam boat I keep a torp around for kinetic help.)…
  • Yep - just after an update/maintenance patch. Not sure if it happens after all of them or just some of them. I have not yet used loadouts, been meaning to, have "extra" boffs so I have to sit down and do a little homework and get the right set settled back in... Luckily, my main can do CE pretty good with just ship…
  • Just a follow-up - the previous responder seems to be right, leaving it up seemed to make it appear in "all" the next day. I'm wondering if overnight is enough. And I did test it for price, just to be sure that ALL wasn't showing the cheapest, I tried pricing it more expensive than 3 below it, one of which did show in ALL,…
  • The Ferengi are busy behind the scenes trying to find a species to contract out vast military arms contracts so they can sell arms to all sides in the upcoming conflict, sit back in glee while each side battles each other, and stand ready to resupply...
  • I recently hit 15+ in all schools and started some agressive crafting. and I look forward to the answers to your quesstions, too. One thing I can add, I did start making Omni's, and apparently you cant only make MXII omni's and upgrade from there. I upgraded to 14, even though I had previously upgraded all my beam arrays…
  • Lucky you - yours will be in a fleet with T5 facilities...mine won't, my fleet is just attaining T4... You've got access to a "veteran destroyer"? Mine will have plenty of ships to consider, but no "veteran" benefits. BUT: my playtime is restricted and I tend to advance through content slowly, in good part because I play…
  • I thought the OP was being sarcastic. If not, I'd be more than happy to take all that ec, dil and masts you can't use off your hands.
  • Thanks for the confirmation. At 1000 zen / pack it's out of my price range... (even though there are 4 containers per pack)
  • This game needs to be as universal as possible...including trying to keep it from becoming a DPS race..but a hard trinity just makes it a different kind of race with even -more- restrictions and it would lose some of what has made it unique and Sto would become just like a Fantasy Game In Space like every other fantasy MMO…
  • Thanks - before I shell out the lobi :)
  • I see these cases come up from time to time. (There's tl;dr at the end.) A well geared very experienced player, for whatever reasons, decides that a particular game feature is not to their liking, perhaps because they lost to it in PVP, perhaps because they feel they wish to contribute their extensive knowledge in the game…
  • Yes that's why I asked, I think they are redundant as I have been building my crew sufficient to do most basic crafting, and they're taking up a lot of DOFF slots... I appreciate the clarification, its just as I suspected...they're "starters". They'll be the first to go when I need room. Thanks again...
