I'm reasonably sure the game 'hides' the tailor's configuration data inside the screenshot (.png image) the game makes. If I'm right, and it's a wild guess, in theory you could give the screenshot (the .png file) to someone else who plays the game and they could use it to import uniforms you made onto their characters.…

Maybe replace the 'leaver's punishment'? The first time is free? If you leave two consecutive times, for any reason, you get barred for 24hours? And another 24 hours for every time after that until you have completed a task force one way or another. It provides some grace for "no win" scenario. Which, btw, I do not believe…

The problem with that is it's easy to invert. Small ship crews have actual less work to do, but large crews are large and able to accomplish more in the same amount of time. Why try to plug in a 100w lightbulb if all your ever going to supply it with is a 40w power supply? That sort of makes them rather odd considering all…

I use my Atrox for no greater cause really then despite it's great age and long decline in relative power, It's one of the first C-Store ships I got and I like the stalkers.

Ok, I like to tinker. Tinkering is fun. My favorite expression is "Breaking it until it works!" If tinkering is all you care about the by all means enjoy it. :D That still leaves a gap in the question I asked though. :\ What about optimization requires that it move at speed? I have a goal in my tinkering though. I find…

My problem with that isn't the disbelief that time is valuable. To me that's a loop though. Time is valuable. So to faster. Why do you go faster? To get more stuff. Why do you get more stuff? So you can go faster. What is the goal your going faster to get to? Edit: You should take the time to play through all the stories…

I guess I should rephrase the question: Why is it needed? It's helpful, yes, but why is it needed? It's a bit link having a M1 Abrams to drive to work everyday. No mater how cool it would be or how bad traffic is, you really don't need tank with 105mm cannon to drive to work! (Well, unless you are a tank driver, but lets…

Ok, while that can be fun I guess if your a psychopath? :P Your missing the point of even having a game. What he said. Agreeing with conan, while funny, means your just in it to crush people and the fact your doing it with a game means that it is a game is some tiny footnote in the very back. Ok. I don't like hardcore…

I am impressed with your dedication, snowpig74. ... If they're boring why do them? If they're boring wouldn't it be better to make them not boring?

I thought this was a common theme in sports. Oh well... "Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy." - Joe Paterno Basically, if winning is all your care about, your no longer playing a game. Your fighting a war, and STO is a game. For there to be a game there has to be…

Leaving aside my arguments in other threads I can thing of two counters. The first is sort of flimsy, The second could be good news for you (Has it occurred to no one this could help cloaking!?): 1) Everyone in PvP is on edge and looks for a cloak. Why? Because with few exceptions 2/3 of the factions have a cloak just…
-
There is also the question: If you can swap race at will (or for a fee) within the game, What's the point of selecting one? It becomes as meaningless as changing a uniform's color. If there's no meaning to it, why ask anyone to bother with it at all? My two cents? If your that attached to changing races, make a new…

Ok, 1K or 20K in base hull is far more then just 1K or 20K. I still stand by what I said. :P There are so many resistance and heals a battle draws out anywhere from minuets to infinity, or you can spike burst damage so much having 100K wouldn't help you. Well, 100K would have A it wouldn't have a affect on the outcome of a…
-
I started this thread because it is possible to do very nasty things to people with cloaks. I do not whine. I started this thread because to fight cloaks you have to give up something explicitly to fight cloaks, and because cloaks are common enough it isn't a option to do so. It's a tax for playing the game. That's not…
-
Ok. For a battle cloak I will concede there are (with the exception I think a Mogai) there is a drop in hull and shields is not great, but non-trivial drops in hull and shields. Point taken. These drops in hull and shields are not more then 5 to 3K base hull or .1 to .3 in shield modifiers with normal cloaks. Not more then…
-
I brought up target subsystems because I don't think any of them miss. Not just science abilities don't miss. Tractor beam would be a case. It has to have something to grapple with. The other I could make a case for having a hit and return affect to map a area out, but the point is made and I concede it. If the system is…
-
How is a cloak at no cost? Fair question. I rate it at no cost because, with three exceptions on the federation side, it requires no console or bridge officer slot that anti stealth devices or abilities do require. It is tied into a ship's hull as a innate ability. While there are difference between ships that can cloak…
-
I don't know have any ability that misses now that I think of it. (The target subsystems always proc on the next hit, but I guess it could "miss".) Not sure about torpedo spread, but I'm not sure how science abilities would miss out a server glitch. Something like gravity well isn't targeting one per say. It just covers a…
-
Not sure what that's designed to tell me. My problems starts with someone having cloak at no cost them then making a case against something that attacks it or doesn't buff it enough. It's not that someone has a disagreement, I wish to know by what grounds they claim it. Roughly, I'm for probes and wonder what high ground…
-
Assume I don't. That still leaves the question of why if can be abused like it is "Why it is allowed to be abused?". Hints the suggestion. I guess I should put you down for against it centersolace?
-
When I can be killed or watch someone in PvP in under 3seconds when flat footed? Yea, I'll call it devastating. When I can use it to wait and watch for the perfect moment to attack? Yea, I'll call it devastating. If it's not devastating, your not using it right. :P
-
The base number are a little off, but noted. :P Well, close enough I'm not going to quibble too much about it. It's not if that they had gear to match all the anti-stealth vs. stealth things. It would be nice if they had to have gear to cloak at all. The reasoning being they're getting a cloak as a "free" ability. I'm a…
-
Then would I be out of line to demand all cloaking ships have to spend a console and/or bridge officer abilities to cloak? So they match non-cloaking ships having to spend consoles and/or abilities to detect cloaking ships.
-
Let me pick your brain. (5 + 5 + 5) / 2 = 7.5 10 * 0.75 = 7.5 They are different in fundamental ways. They end at the same point. They are mathematically and logical equivalent statements. If I want to stop at 7.5 then why is the difference between them moot? (Seeing you both wish to ignore everything else and focus on…
-
Having counter to cloaking is great, but that's not really a balanced solution. That's telling one side to spend some of their potential to have a 1:1 counting for what the other sides innately has over and above their own potential. I'd think if some or all FDK and romulan ships have a innate cloak? Some or all of the fed…

>< Double post. Got distracted. ??? Without booting the game up to check, there is exactly a one slot difference. X . X X . X . X X . X . X . X X . X . X VS. X . X X . X X . X . X . X X . X . X X If the intrepid offends you that much, name another ship and I'll compare that to the Atrox.
-
No I'm not arguing the same point. I'm arguing there is a equal alternate path that arrives at the same end point. Then using that to wonder why "If they have that, why can I not make the same claim?" Hey, do I answer questions for you? I ask questions ,assume you agree, and continue on from that point. If you do not…

Why did they combine the EV suits? It's basically giving three different armor types away as one.

It's already collapsed. I guess my theory was lost to the ages. At the end of Star Trek: Voyager, Janeway didn't infect the queen with a virus. She gave the entire collective a free life-time MMO subscription. Fast forward a few hundred years to the "present", and they got banned for boting and sharing accounts! The real…

Thankfully I learned how to dodge! The person below me is about to say something funny.
