  • But that makes them the ideal species for a RA in my opinion. They could have randomly shown up at core planets, very close to the planet too. I hope this new RA won't be a limited time thing.
  • Yeah I know. It's not necessary in most cases. But I was responding to someone who was saying that a CCA optional failed while talking about gear a lot. So what I meant was that if gear or lack of access to abilities to survive the wave is the problem for him, he could always move out of range.
  • It's still a popular ship. Not just for levelling, I tend to see them in endgame content such as ISA quite often as well. I'm not sure if I would buy a T6 version, it depends on the lay out as well. It would be nice if they could make it heavy sci oriented, so that we would have another Sci-Cruiser type of ship.
  • My own Vesta (which does not do 97k DPS in ISA, but which is still decent with 45k-50k in ISA pugs I think) is largely similar to the one posted earlier, when looking at gear. The only important differences are that - I don't have a +75 PartGen console (I'm using Research lab ones) and that - Instead of the Bioneural…
  • KDF you say? Don't you guys have something called the right of vengeance?
  • Frequency is increasing, from what I've gathered this was the third 1-in-500 year or so storm... in less than three years. Predictions are that it will happen more often in the future. So I would say that it makes sense to build defences. Not just for this one storm in this region, but in general.
  • Well if enough people demand something, it will happen. The USA is still, just like my country, a democracy. Although I just realised that things might be a bit more complicated in the US because specific states might have to build flood defences, rather than the national government - on which these states might be…
  • I was lucky yesterday, a Jem'Hadar was stuck in the wall. So staying alive was very easy this time :) I wouldn't have had a problem with dying after round 5... I mean, if everyone agrees and people ask about other's intentions, I'm fine with it. If, however, one or two players already refuse to move in those first 5 rounds…
  • And just to add a bit more realism: instead of focussing on Cryptic, why not focus on the American government? They are the ones who are supposed to assist the victims (and even better, prevent such things from happening through prevention). And they have a bit more money than Cryptic. Of course that would require setting…
  • This. What is happening is awful, but many players are not even from the US or even from Texas. If they decided to donate a significant part of their income to the victims of this flood, then where does it end? Why not also do the same thing whenever there's a flooding in England for instance (as happened a few years ago)?…
  • I think there are a few things that need to be considered. First, we don't really know who is responsible for the settling of colonies, do we? Governments within the Federation are, to a large extent, independent. It may well be that many of the less developed colonies were not Starfleet's or the Federation as a whole's…
  • But upgrading as never been so easy since the release of the Phoenix box. As for the right boffs: those are little extras. You can complete most content without getting everything to epic quality or getting certain traits etc. That's just to make things a bit more perfect, it is by no means necessary to complete normal or…
  • Very good suggestions so far :) Feel free to start writing some lore. I'm not much of an expert on Ferasan language, are there more 'rawr'-like sounds? Good point. We are still in need a human anthem as well - and to incorporate your suggestion, maybe we could use something such as the background noise heard in those old…
  • I'll admit, I'm one of those players who usually only show up after you announce it. Otherwise this zone is just not worth the effort, there's no fun in trying to recapture the same map three times, only to lose it again before the bosses spawn. I hate to admit that I'm only showing up when some work has already been done…
  • Share your thoughts! (On the text, not on my mental health.)
  • Meh. The cheapest of those packs (the temporal starter pack is giving an error when clicking on it) will still be well over 70 euros/dollars. I know there's a lot of items in them, but I still find this too expensive. Never really cared for such expansion packs or the larger 9-ship packs. I might consider getting the…
  • It was, don't worry :)
  • Yeah it's good to see some people actually playing the event for more reasons than just getting the reward :) I've done the timed version on most of my alts, but usually did the untimed version on my main characters. I'm happy that in most of the untimed instances I've been in, my team mates actually tried to get as far as…
  • On a more serious note: I too find the Tzenkethi Battlezone a bit frustrating at times. I guess they wanted to try and make it more dynamic, with faster recapture by the Tzenkethi. The problem is, by the time you get a warning that a zone is at risk, it's often already too late. Sometimes the zone will either get instantly…
  • You can't use pulsewave assault weapons in a space battlezone. This is working as intended ;) (I'm surprised no one else commented on this ;))
  • I'm still playing normal missions a lot, especially ground ones. It's fun to do when you just want to relax a bit while playing. Or when there's a mission like Gravity Kills and you're pugging it and you're not sure that you can carry the team in case the rest doesn't know what to do. Of course I need to hold back a bit to…
  • I hope that, in future story arcs, we'll also revisit some other species that are already in the game. Voth, Undine, Iconians (who might have changed their mind and be more willing to maintain contact with us now that their returned World Heart has solved a lot of their problems). As for the list in the OP: T'Kon sounds…
  • I must admit that I'm not very familiar with GW anymore. I stopped using it a while back, going with SSV and TR instead. And even when I used it, I usually went with GW 3. If it's borked, then it needs to be fixed obviously. But to be fair, I've still seen people use GW and it worked well for them. As for FAW: I never…
  • (Added emphasis). I agree. There is a lot of overreacting towards the rebalancing and changes were badly needed. The people who are complaining the most are those who are saying in in-game channels 'I went from over 100k to 60k' or things like that. While apparently not realising that that's still more than enough for most…
  • Well at least the OP wasn't crying 'doom'. He was curious about it's presence. Or absence ;) To be fair, some points are actually quite interesting. The VR thing for example, imagine how awesome it would be able to almost touch ESD xD
  • Yeah just did that. I thought it was all written down - and it was - but then it suddenly disappeared. I really wish they'd finally fix that, capture the monster that's eating forum posts or seal the black hole. Or whatever it is that's causing the loss of posts :p
  • This is ridiculous... alright, retyping the whole thing but a bit shorter this time... It's not so much a matter of ignorance, I'm just not seeing the problems you seem to see. Engineers are just fine on the ground. BFAW was changed very logically. It's still the best ability to use in a target rich environment. I think it…
  • Oh look I'm not allowed to edit my post. Ok, then I'll just have to resort to spamming and make another pointless post until they finally fix that. Changes I wanted to make: - My Sci Vesta --> My Sci's Vesta - to use een when --> to use even when
  • The game is very easy though. And questions can be asked in a lot of places. With the Phoenix boxes and the weekly rewards for new episodes I feel they've already made things a lot easier for beginning players. But I do agree with others here that they will need to do something new - not just bring in more guest stars and…
  • Wait, it's 'uncool' to call for nerfs? :o Just kidding. In all seriousness, a lot of the rebalances were made undone before they ever made it to the live server. Things would have been more... interesting if all the changes from Tribble had actually been brought to Holodeck. Now some more specific reponses: Gravity Well…
