Ground STFs have been almost worthless to run with the most recent changes, at least with a PUG. It's great for you that you have a good group to run it, but most of us have to contend with at least one guy a run who is either firing blanks the whole time or has a dozen injuries. Heck, even Infected _Space_ has been more…

I guess I feel a little better that it's not just me. Maybe? Anyway, I had all 3 upgraded to ultra-rare xiii's, and all are gone. I don't know if it was before or after I upgraded the ship. Either way I kinda can't play until this is fixed. (Okay, I suppose I could break out another ship, but I ain't gonna do it dang it. I…

The sci consoles are - grav generators, particle generators, and shield hp It does have 1 phaser console on it, just the dyson version. The basic idea behind the build as is: Good survivability, gravity well and tyken's rift primary offense, backed up by the aux cannons, since as far as I've seen they are my best bang for…

If I remember correctly the books aren't even to 2400 yet, so everything we see is farther along in their timeline. Also pretty much all the books that came out a year or so before STO moving forward are a separate time line. I seem to also remember seeing somewhere that in STO timeline Chakotay is head of Starfleet…

You know, I wonder if them being character bound was one of the selling points to CBS on them being limited. You can't have someone with too much time on their hands (semester is ending soon for many) grinding it on 10 alts and then selling them to people who don't have time to run it every day or go out of town, or are…

I went with my parents and brother. I didn't see anyone in uniform (I have one, but I went straight from work - got off early, yay nice bosses) but I did see a few 'Property of Starfleet Academy' shirts and sweatshirts. The difference in the Borg special effects shots was amazing, but the absolute best bit (besides the…
-
So let's see: Cost dil to get the free packs - I just won't get any. I'll probably have to start leveling alts and stealing their packs. Or just stop caring about my fleet's base. I mean, I want the Fleet Nova, sure, and the other main contributor want's a Fleet Akira, but not enough to spend even more dil we don't have on…

Is there something I'm missing with the doff assignment, cause I'm not seeing it on my base at all. Do I have to get to a certain point first or something? Seeing as how I have something like 200k extra cxp across all the categories I'd love to be able to get started on converting it, since I'm essentially alone in my…

Yep, the one complaint I have about these lockboxes (and its really more of an exchange complaint) is that its basically impossible to sell the fleet credit bonus items on the exchange because they don't show up under any category and the search all option is currently borked. Granted, the update that messed it up also…
-
Most awesome button ever. Especially the screen effect.
-
You know, I really can understand people not liking the lockboxes. Thankfully we are not required to do anything with them other than click pass when they come up. As for the good ships being in them - it is totally possible to get the ship rewards without paying a dime on keys. Its even possible to get them without paying…

I wonder if it simply is a case of overreaction? Obviously the Connie isn't coming T5, and obviously the Excalibur isn't a Connie - to us. What if someone at CBS who is involved in this decision doesn't understand the crucial differences between the Connie and the Excalibur and thinks they are basically the same ship?
-
So let's see - say you do 2xdual beam, 1 torp front, 2xturret, 1xtorp/mine in back. Tac Team 1, Torp Spread 2, APO for the tac EPtS 1, Aux to SIF 1, Eng Say Gravity Well 3, normal heals (sci team, tss, hazard) for the lt and ensign, that leaves you lt. commander, lt. and ensign science to pick for a build. I'd go with…

Except now I have another problem. I try and follow a consistent story line with my main character and her fleet of ships. The Miranda was the Avalon, then it was destroyed and her Intrepid-R was the Avalon A. Recently that one was destroyed (renamed) and my Vice Admiral claimed Admiral's privilege and renamed her Ody…

The problem there, again, is that something like that feels more like a galaxy console than something the Nova would have. Humm, how about something using space gasses? Granted, that was more spectacularly used by Riker in Insurrection, but Ransom was known for hiding in atmo. Perhaps a fly by to dump a gas on a ship that…
-
Any other ideas? In a general way you can divide the consoles into a couple categories - dps, defense, science control powers (some dps too) and passive buffs like the transwarp cooldown. The shield one above is a great defensive idea, a nice counterpoint for the ablative generator. What about control options? The 'sticky'…
-
Very nice idea - A) definitely science feel to it B) worthwhile power not in game yet (or something close to it anyway) C) Actually used in canon by the ship that would get it. D) Also has the advantage of being easier to balance than a lot of the console powers - since you are very open to attack while it is working.…

Gravity Well isn't that bad for damage, once you knock through their shields. (At least, against NPC's, obviously PC's will get out of range a lot quicker) But the deflector idea isn't shabby, though it would be a bit weird to see something like the deflector blast from Best of Both Worlds on a Nova rather than Galaxy.
-
I can't get mine to display - because it thinks I don't have it. Blasted thing wouldn't let me use my real account name or whatever, so it is still completely separated from my actual account.
-
You know, I was annoyed that apparently my forum account whatever wasn't linking properly with my actual game account, but looking at it that way it isn't so bad. Annoying still, and redundant and a step backwards overall, but not without its benefits.
-
Best of all, it seems that something broke and my forum account isn't linked to the actual account anymore, so I can't even use the store out of game anymore.
-
Oh and why the frak did it force me to use rokesmith for my name instead of Rokesmith? What the TRIBBLE is that, its a name dag-nabit. Names are meant the be capitalized. Basic rule of the friggin language.
-
Okay, this is in basically every way inferior. For some reason though not seeing Nagus' iconic and ever present Avatar until I get to the end of the message is extremely disquieting to me. It feels like all my friends had involuntary facial reconstruction surgery without telling me beforehand. Not cool.
-
Is it just me or is getting the signature option to work like pulling teeth? I even resized my original sig to fit the new smaller 500x100 requirement, still not working yet.
-
I'm going to miss my old avatar - I think I lost the file when I switched over to my new laptop. Maybe I can hunt the original down again. I don't know, the new forum shenanigans and all the whitewashing of the old stuff (not to mention join dates) just makes me sad enough that I'm not sure I can muster up the ganas to…
