I agree with the above. In STO, DPS is king - nothing else matters. You want a build that is all one energy type, with the DPS maxed as far as it will possibly go. You can even cut corners on durability if you need to, because in the end, it all comes down to who can make the other player or NPC go boom first.
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of star-trek.answers.wikia.com? It's a fan-run site where you can ask questions about canon Trek details and get answers. I imagine it could be useful for getting those little tidbits that Memory Alpha might miss, which can be helpful for writing your character and…
I'm guessing that First Contact Day has been removed because Cryptic couldn't figure out a way to monetize it? Seems like a great opportunity to offer Zefram Cochrane's shotgun in the Z-Store...
Hasn't the HUGE HOLY MASSIVE INVASION OF THE BIG BAD thing sort of gotten a little worn out? Soran's sun-destroying torpedo as an exclusive lockbox weapon doesn't sit well with me.
As mentioned in another thread, look only to the mindless incompetence of the saucer combat pet and the Aquarius combat pet to see just how horribly your ships would fare under the control of the AI - and remember that the Aquarius is actually a playable ship.
The Captain's Table is yet another abandonware component of this game, much as the Star Trek Online Gateway for mobile apps is abandonware. Cryptic has no intention of doing anything with the Captain's Table at this point. They have the bulk of the money that they will ever get from people suckered into lifetime…
Indeed, nothing has changed about this in all the years that have elapsed since it was implemented. Saucer / Aquarius pets are as broken as this new shiney is.
Agreed. The implementation of this reminds me of the time they tried to add saucer separation to the Galaxy-class starship. The finished product was a suicidal saucer pet that you couldn't control, which would immediately fly off and suicide on the nearest enemy (much as the Aquarius does, which seems to use the same AI).…
Those who do should be forced to buy Cryptic's hilariously-priced 500,000 dilithium EV suit (which does nothing special except have a differently-colored skin). Penalty fee.
To the best of my knowledge, those were written by Christine "Kestrel" Thompson back when a storyline was actually important to Cryptic. They ripped it down for reasons unknown during the build-up to F2P.
I am absolutely not going to participate in the Delta Recruiting event. I see it as a desperate grab to recoup some of the players that the game hemorrhaged when Delta Rising dropped, and further monetize the existing player base. I think that the time spent developing and implementing Delta Recruiting could have been…
THIS. May I have your permission to condense this and make it a forum signature? This truly captures in the most cohesive way possible everything that is wrong with Tovan Khev.
Watching him get cut down by hordes of enemies, while hilarious, doesn't deliver the level of satisfaction that I imagine personally vaporizing him would. I'd love to nail him with a TOS phaser and watch him throw the "Thriller" pose as he disintegrated into glowy blue nothingness.
Server lag resolution (which won't happen; Cryptic has made Cogent Internet their scapegoat for this for years) BOFF slotting / loadout loss resolution Re-recording of the Guardian of Forever to eliminate the voice of the guy who is clearly mocking the episode while delivering its lines Addition of hangar pet controls to…
