Ahhhh... The Zap Brannigan approach. I LIKE it! </Brannigan> But, what if you find an enemy that doesn't have an automatic kill-count shutoff?
-
you can only transfer ships that are not character bound. Event ships you grind for are char-bound. That means they want you to grind each char if each char gets that ship. So new chars have no access to the event ships until that event comes around again. Lockbox ships, lobi ships, ships that you can basically trade or…

Especially so when you're only ever connecting to the same end point that never changes. There's never any reason to look up anything on the DNS. You log in straight to the IP address every time. The long and short of it is: This is primarily Cogent Co's fault. It has almost always been their fault for years in dozens of…

agreed!!!! And while we're at it, add a flag to search for skills or traits in boff descriptions as well as just the names.

Considering that diplomatic immunity is about to be 100% obsolete with the S10 walls coming down, I think that tying it to players that reach rank 4 in diplo/raider would be excellent. Then again, I'm all for cross-faction fleets too. Not sure why we can't do that yet.

Please note you'll do less damage doing that. The ancient omni array is not the same as a crafted ultra rare. It's quite a lot less DPS overall. Then add into that upgrading to XIV, and the crafted blows the stock ancient omni out of the water buy a LARGE amount. You'd probably be better off slotting a better weapon, and…

Either Romulan for attack patterns, or KHG for cold start. Anything else, base ENTIRELY on set bonuses. Nothing else really comes into play outside of the 2 I listed above.

I ran it on a handful of chars with full kobali set + console. When set up properly it'll tank almost anything. Massive hull tanking ability especially with kobali set, and the console, and then add into that the ability to shield heal nicely AND the shield capacitor that heals others nearby you from the warp core... It's…

DBBs with FAW may indeed 'tag' more targets but that doesn't mean they do more damage. DHCs may 'only' target 3 ships with CSV, but they send the entire duration of CSV hitting those targets. Fact of the matter is that FAW can often take longer to kill the targeted enemy because it is scattering shots everywhere. If you…

Seems like cryptic has ulterior motives with the "create a new char" pitch. Honestly? Why not put all of this in a mission repeat event? STO is overdue for one of those. That way EXISTING chars, which need the benefits the most, can replay existing missions to get whatever paltry rewards you want to offer. However, the…

The skill is still there. You haven't been untrained. You just had the "active" skill reset to default. This will happen a lot. The skills are currently kinda buggy. Go to the boff, click the skills tab, click the RANK of the skill, space or ground (ENS, LT, LtCDR or CMDR), and then scoll down to the available skills to…

The cold war was more of a war than you give it credit for. More time, money, lives, were spent and lost on it than most openly declared "wars" -- it was quite hot at times, and many instances that would probably have sparked world-wide outrage and tilted the world into global thermonuclear war were kept hidden under the…
-
Nothing you described is specific to AP. Roms with absurd critH are still going to reap great rewards with romplas or disruptor. The end result is a few % points of dps at the highest echelon. Crying that they're OP is not factual.
-
That has very little to do with it. Whether it's in the logs or not doesn't change the ineffectiveness of the proc based on the current NPC game mechanics.
-
Or maybe they're raking in tons of cash on their other gimmick sales already. Especially the zen exchange. Have you considered they need to justify their actions to an overlord that owns them, and using their beloved "metrics" (I place this in parethesis because it's an abuse of the actual term the way cryptic handles…

Avoid: DMG PVP PVPres thrust over rapid limited usefuless, situationally-dependant: acc snare Most useful CrtD (more of this is better) CrtH (better to have this from consoles, though) Pen (armor penetration, sort of like half a CrtD) Edit: If you're on a budget, it's okay to let slip a mod or two. So you could do DMG CrtH…

Silly mortals. You still think the CE is about giving you a reward? It's a reason to log in. Now, if they gave you the lobi exit, why would you log in every day? You wouldn't, right? That's why they haven't done it.
-
Antiprotons are the best in the game by a small lead -- when you gear them out the right way. That said, you have many options that are still quite capable, and as long as you gear toward your proper damage type with set bonuses and consoles, you should do well. EDIT: Okay, that didn't give any suggestions, so I will add…

Well, then he shouldn't confuse it with other powers. He might as well say TT when he means FAW. :rolleyes:
-
The size of the "chunk" that tetryon can remove from shields is not fixed. It will changed based on your flow caps skill. The problem is twofold: 1) The proc chance is far too low to ever be useful, even in pre-DR times. Now that they nerfed the only potentially useful tetryon weapon into uselessness, that's worse than…
-
again, *sigh*... your petulance is borderline psychotic at this point. You are nothing but a bad troll. Not even a good one, just a bad one. I'm done with your willful ignorance.
-
Still spouting ignorance, I see, despite all the facts logic and commentary trying to correct you on your false notion. *sigh*...
-
Phasers are pretty useless in terms of proc. It's been nerfed heavily over the years.
-
Ap provides a minor boost with its native CrtD boost. Polarons can be helpful if they proc and drain a chunk from an enemy's weapons power bank, or shields, even. The polaron bonus does not scale. When the upgrades were unleashed, they bumped the stock JH "free" set to the paid Mk XII set's bonus levels. However, don't…

Not metaphorically, but you were looking for "bear" -- not like to bare arms, but as in to get your bearings and/or direction related. It's a term basically saying you're waiting to see which way the market will go, or which way will it bear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation) Just FYI.

I can say this: The fleet gal-x is not worth it. The fleet excel is nice and once was the best cruiser in the game -- back when no other cruisers had LtCDR tactical seating. Now? there are better ones. It gains points for style, but my fed tac that flies one is starting to dream about more tac seats. I'd say if you're…

You can't clear tractor beam with hazard emitters. That's just foolish thinking.
-
I'll add another vote for the avenger being a good ship to run BAs on. However if you're a sci, you should probably look at ships that have more sci seating. Much of your damage could/should be coming from sci-based exotic damage. Especially if you run high pgens and use R&D sci trait. Ships that come to mind, while still…

Borg cannot adapt to the tr116b. Are you sure that's happening? This weapon bypasses all shields and like melee can't be adapted. If that is really what you saw, it is a bug. However, I wonder if you were just seeing something else they were adapting to, while your tr116b was still shooting just fine?
