It is one of the few instances where FAW was used, and it wasn't for damage sake. It was to locate the Scimitar, nothing more. The other notable instances are during DS9 as the Dominion War was going on. Best example is the Defiant using the Phaser Cannons on ships in it's front arc while using the beam arrays to either…
From the 1 solid run I was in, CC abilities (Grav Well, TB/TBR) was really hard on the Primary target as they have different stats against Players. In fact, that's where most of the kills we earned on the Defending team (read: Lower Tier Ships) came from. It was a bit one-sided with those abilities in play as the only way…
As it stands now, if they are in the blast range, they're affected. I've died numerous times to that damn thing. Still, funny as hell when it happens. Not only that, the tractor beam tore a fighter jet apart in less than 10 seconds in an episode where they suddenly appeared in 1960/70's era Earth airspace above the US.…
When the Undine weaponry became available, it was discussed about whether or not to allow them because they did change the colors for Federation to Green. We concluded that for any Undine-based content, the weapons would be allowed. Anything else, revert to other weaponry. As for the Scimitar consoles, we don't have any…
I see no problem with the AP or Torp Launcher. I run Voth AP on my Science character for her Temporal Destroyer. Only wish it sounded less like popcorn.
The main difference between the Common, Uncommons, Rares, and Very Rares items (excluding the generic consoles, i.e. Phaser Relay, Neutronium Alloy, etc., etc.,) are simply the Mods. The stats don't change unless the Mod adjusts it in some fashion. The generic consoles (which I did adjust the rules for) are the only things…
I think Federation will be well represented over the next few days. As well as the KDF and RSE (RR). Breen and Dominion will also be on hand. Where we'll be short will be Cardassian. Not sure how many people have Galor Class Cruisers and I'm still debating on spending the money for one. As for the restrictions on heals,…
Affirmative. "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War!" Dominion Battle Speech: "As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Remember: victory is life."
Looking at Memory Alpha, they used Phasers. Those are acceptable. Turrets are specific to STO, not Star Trek. And must turret would be like weapons platforms, not added on ships No Devices Allowed. I decided on allowing Fleet Level ships because they are equivalent to the Lock Box ships they'll be facing. The lower Tier…
Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to today. Real life, plus the start of the Summer Event, got in the way, but I would still like to try this at some point before the main fights happen. I may be on for a short while this Saturday, but I can't say when I'll be online. -risingstar2009
Greetings to you both, Captains, and Welcome to the Star Trek Battles Channel. Invites have been sent to you both. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask anyone in the channel or email the Admins (our @handles is in the first post). Looking forward to flying with you both. -risingstar2009
I was referring to strictly using Commons since no Mods (items like [Acc], [CrtH], etc., etc.) would come in to play, creating a balanced, and somewhat even fight. As for the Sovereign, I wouldn't be against seeing it in this match up, but, like the Jem'Hadar Dreadnaught, it will be limited to 1 or 2 people flying it in a…
Agreed. If the machine is old enough to still have the early touchpad/joystick mouse control, then it can't run any of the current video capture programs AND Star Trek Online. Best advice at this point it to either not worry about capturing video while you're playing, or get a new computer, probably something more than a…
I am still thinking about the ship-specific consoles, like the Anti-Matter Spread and the Separation Consoles. The main problem is that none of these consoles were really prevalent during the Dominion War. And, once you start allowing something, where does it stop? The Federation, Klingons, and the Romulans were just…
I still am thinking about some of the unique consoles, such as the Breen Energy Dissipator, as to whether or not to allow them. If they are, it will be ship specific as to which ones can have them attached. As for the space sets, I am leaning towards just using Common/White gear after seeing what the space sets can do. And…
