Another one of these? :yawn: Get some friends, run with your fleet or put up with randoms. Those are your choices. Nothing new to see here.

Personally I think use of Team chat should be a part of the tutorial REQUIRED to even get your first mission in some kind of 'do this thing with another player' type activity. Just once, and then if you want to go around and play a MMO like a one player game (the point of which is beyond me) then go ahead. I also think…

To get to T1 rep takes 2 days. It costs something like 3 normal stfs (about an hour of your time) and the hypos and whatever else costs about 50k EC (discarding 3 Mk X-XI ship shields). No work at all. Easy. A Mk X Borg set isn't really that expensive in marks or ec either and if it's the idea of not being able to use your…

While I agree that getting Omega Marks are really easy to get (500-600 minimum for the original 6 on Elite - which, incidentally, will also give 7k minimum Dil), for me the simple answer to the question 'why?' is simply that the sector block is 'there' and it's supposed to be the site of borg front line. In the old days,…

So many threads with comments about tractor beam repulsors.... Tractor beam repulsors are like the violin, if played badly, they're horrible, but if used correctly can be a thing of beauty, funny enough, like most powers in the game. After a quick initial grav well after the first nanite generator goes down, they can buy a…

I play Fed. Why? Because I only use one toon. If I had had the choice at the start to choose a Klingon or Romulan, I may well have decided to make my character be of one of those factions - I'll admit that it would most likely have been Romulan, but the point is the same, I would have probably NOT chosen Fed and I firmly…
-
Pretty much to all the people saying things like 'not impressed' and 'oh, it's not enough' or 'they added the wrong thing'.... Go play and bug the devs in another game. This expansion, if it contains all the things it says it will is what pretty much most of the forum complaints have been about. We get Romulans, Klingons…
-
Umm... What?
-
So, launcher won't start and if it does there's a big white screen with 'Please Wait...' in the corner. I know people are aware of the problem and that others are having it too. It's not me or my connection, so I'm not looking for advice for work arounds. This one's one the Devs to fix not us. We're the customers and they…
-
Isn't everything easy after you've done it a million times? Like um... walking? I bet the first time you did that it wasn't so easy. New (official) end-game content is needed and more promotion of good foundry stuff. When Hive came out, there were masses of complaints that it was too hard, cries for a nerf, etc. Is that…
-
It is and will always be for the dedicated. Trends and tactics change all the time so it's not something you can do casually as you need to keep up. You might be able to enter and win first time, in which case good for you, but most players new to PvP (especially space, but ground too) will have their rear ends handed to…
-
Science ships and powers are fine in PvE, it just takes a bit longer is all but the job gets done in the time available for things like optionals. On the topic of PvP, personally I'd like to see that full impulse ramming speed kamikaze tactic brought back to PVP from when you could still use it at 100% hp. That was fun.
-
I think the only way to remove grinders from the foundry is to remove the rewards and when there were no rewards, people complained that the foundry wasn't getting enough recognition. In an ideal world, grinders wouldn't exist but it's clear that people will always find a way to make them so rather than cutting off our…
-
Grind stuff in the foundry is fine. I don't see a great deal of difference between foundry ginders and the fleet events. Short, repeatable stuff that helps people get to where they want to be. I didn't like clickers because I felt it was 'cheating', but grinders are 'ok' because at least you have to do something, however…
-
Personally I think we should all start as academy cadets, it should be ground only at first and the early story should be stuff that goes wrong on routine training excersises (wrath of khan?) until we are finally assigned to the ship in the tutorial and the the game goes as normal until rank of captain, not admiral, this…
-
I like the idea of a more manageable inbox. Being able to see your sent messages would be nice too. On the bigger ground maps, it might make more people do them if they were worth more to do. At the moment, given how quickly you rank up, 'dilithium/gear' is almost no incentive to do the thing. Putting marks or a decent…
-
I can't say this has ever been a problem for me. I do, however, want to give a massive +1 to the OP's siganture :P
-
You were lucky, very lucky and so was I mostly, the only thing I had to wait for was the maco gun for the ground set and even then it was only around 30 or 35 runs of CGE. I recently levelled a new character and within 2 days I had a Mx X ground set. That was guaranteed, all I had to do was fulfil requirements and I got…
-
Yea, I forgot to mention that too. Usually the failed Elite Grounds I've been in fail because a second person leaves. When you stick at it laughing at how inept some players can be, it usually ends in success eventually. Still won't get you the optioanl though, so like I said above, I sympathise with that 100%
-
While I agree with the OP and I really truly felt that pain for a long time, eventually, I got better and I also got better gear, so I would like to pose the question that if you can compensate for a bad team in space but not on the ground, then I would ask that you consider the possibility that this means that you are…
-
I don't want to sound like a flamer, and I respect your suggestions for the boffs and ships, I would seriously consider stopping playing if this game starts going in the direction of a RTS.
-
I thought Cardassians used phasers, but whatever, yea Dominion stuff in the Gamma Quadrant would be nice, but yea, the polaron thing was me thinking more about the existing missions there and less about Cardassia itself. A real Cardassian Boff would be nice too.
-
Yea, as long as you are reasonably patient and reasonably dedicated to getting the marks, expertise and EC (and later dilithium for the gear) required to start the rep projects, it's relatively painless if you actually enjoy playing the game. You can get your full Borg Mk X ground set in about 2 days and after that I would…
-
Yea... be nice if the borg were, you know, Borg...
-
Love the idea! +1 If we're going that way, then it could be part of a rep thing for Polaron stuff like the Romulan one is for Plasma - Cardassian Space set?
-
Glad to see you stayed long enough to find out what the loot was :P But seriously, yes they need to address this. It happens a lot across all public pve queues.
-
Yea... they're actually doing it right
-
A raise in the level cap? Hmm... worked fine when they did it from 45 to 50, so I'm all for it provided they... Add enough (real) content to justify the raise - I thought I was done with the mirror event and would seem silly if the current end-game content turned into midgame content because it just got rehashed into some…
-
I am also of the opinion that there should be more stuff to do, and likewise, I don't care if it's yet moar (yawn) 'Kill all bad guys' or 'Go to Andoria, meet with Ambassador Blah and take them to K-7'. Moar stuff for moar rewards. Marks, EC, Latinuim, Dilithium, whatever. Ideally I think that there should be enough things…

Just a thing directed at everyone complaining about the weapon remodulation. This is a Star Trek game which is supposed to be based on Star Trek. If you're complaining about this then you obviously haven't watched any of the episodes of the various shows or its films which feature the Borg. They won't get rid of this…
