"Oh this will be the last time it's up for grabs, honest!" is a great way to push sales. Nobody cares about romulan escorts. Everyone cares about the JHAS.

Well I think that's just something they whipped up to make it appear the borg are more dangerous than they are. I mean come on, when you think about it, the borg are nothing to the Q. Best I can figure is when Q told his son "don't provoke the borg!", it was either for plot convenience or Q was actually concerned that…

I find it hard to believe you're busy deleting JHASs all the while flying around in green consoles. Obvious trolling is obvious.

I just finally accepted that I can pretend the new movies don't exist as far as "my star trek" goes. They're made in a time period where the masses demand top tiered movies to spend their dollars on, and that's what this Star Trek is aiming for, the masses. And it makes for a pretty interesting spin on Star Trek when the…

IF I decide to play a romulan, I'll only do it if the tac ship options are up to par. I already got burned on my klingon and a crappy BoP. So basically if my tac is forced to use some piece of TRIBBLE 22nd century romulan escort design I saw in Enterprise because that's all they got to go on and give ENG/SCI the warbird…

If you're considering spending 400 million EC for the right to spend 30k dilithium on hangar pets, might I suggest the cheaper and probable superior route called elite scorpions. JHAS hangars will never be worth the kind of investment you are considering. Ever. So I guess it's a question of luxury. Are you willing to pay…

I forgot if I had my say on this so I'll just say it anyway: I originally was like, yeah this sucks, why bother? And it's true, why bother? People wanted a romulan faction. If that wasn't a realistic goal then cryptic should have just forgot about it and worked on expanding sector space and even the KDF which seems to be…

Must say, I'm alittle surprised. I was expecting overhyped may release of something. I was wrong. Impressive stuff.
-
You'll have to wait until the next patch because they don't care and the game being updated apparently fixes the problem. For the record the exchange has taken place already, so when it is fixed you'll get whatever you bought. They won't care until the masses get hit with the issue at the same time. Thus far it seems to be…

It's late so I'm not sure I follow, but is it like the annoying, um, it's been awhile since I've done it so I forgot spelling... the eph-whatevers. When "raising" them or call it what you will, the assignments part, I have a purple doff that matches success and 2x crit, but it is outperformed by a purple no success trait,…
-
Well imho there's alot of work needed for that set up but really there is no "100% the right way" for STO. I'll just say that shield regen setups for escorts is a bad decision. Shield gens are vastly superior, but regen can be made to work for cruisers quite well. I tried a shield regen setup in an escort once in full borg…

They didn't lose sight of it. They knew exactly what they were doing with the JHAS hangar. It's clear as day now. It wasn't about having their noses up the asses of JHAS owners. It was about THIS: The hangar exists for one reason: To boost doff pack sales for JHAS, the presumable future method for all time to acquire the…

It's not really a scam. It's a lottery. It's a money grab. There is a difference, and there is a good reason they refuse to reveal what the odds are, but most of us around these forums fully understand what the odds are, 1% or less. Typically in lockboxes the odds are 0.5%. One can presume, assuming Cryptic doesn't…

What would you be willing to trade for JHAS?
-
Would this be so bad? Would the player helming said spec sized ships not have the correct view point on their screen? Or is there an already existing limitation in the coding for camera scroll in/out view? I really would not complain as long as my vantage point was not compromised, and to be selfish about it, I really…
-
Lol, cryptic releasing items for purchase, people get busy purchasing said item for weeks then suddenly, "oops we made a mistake and need to nerf the stats" Seems some things will never change in the cryptic camp. A few more of these and people are going to start leaving over it since we never get compensation. I've…

I know larger ships should have more power capacity because they're larger. It all goes back to what Sisko said in regards to the defiant, which was essentially this: "She's over gunned for a ship her size." This essentially means the defiant over packed on weaponry because there's not enough power to make it work. In the…

Your DPS numbers are no doubt skewed via AoE abilities. It's commonplace for FaW and volley to boost DPS parses. I don't put any faith in that. All I care about is single target DPS capabilities. It is best to test this on tac cube encounters only, and cannons are clearly ahead of beams. Beams have clear advantages as do…
-
STO's biggest problem is the playerbase. Like any good ole MMO the playerbase decides the direction of the game based on DPS efficiency. That's all most players care about;what is the best, fastest method of racing through this content so I can do something else. In STO that's using ships that use cannons and rapid…
-
I'm with the "it's there to be there but faction is still a ways off" crowd. Whoever they have working on gateway was probably told to go ahead and implement romulan stuffs for the future as so far it's really the only sure thing for additional factions. I don't believe in any romulan faction speculation. It's practically…
-
The so called 7 year rule for Star Trek is really moreso about people behind the scenes wanting to move on before blank happens, or they have to do blank to keep it running, etc. Why would STO ever follow suit? It's a game, not a tv show. I'm not sure why Cryptic even bothers labeling major patches as seasons. I suppose…

It is a probable outcome for the future according to how Dan talks. He makes it sound like an inevitable thing(he has never shot it down, is a better way of putting it) and usual it is for MMOs. If and or when they need to buy some development time you can expect to see a level cap raise. It'll probably be a considerable…
-
No matter what bonus you give to JHAS owners, it's going to be whined about by people who don't have access to it. So instead of whining about not having a JHAS to purchase hangars, people will whine about not having a JHD or JHAS to purchase this console, and how it's not "fair" to require people to own both ships. People…
-
I'd be willing to put a wager on them never lifting the cap. "Never say never!" Well this is a case where I'm 100% confident, existing vet reward aside, that Cryptic will never raise the cap but will continue to preach about avoiding artificial caps on progress. "You can buy dilithium so it's okay to cap your refinement…
-
Well I'm not sure what advice to give you so I'll just post what I am using. Keep in mind I have done 4 elite STFs so far and made it through them with little trouble. I blew up once during cure space via a point blank "I blinked and died" encounter with an assimilated kdf ship presumably with the aid of it's nearby gang…

I got 25 for doing hive onslaught. I'm pretty sure other normals will reward the same. Also, typically in elites you will be awarded 15 marks for opt win which are kind of like ninja added without confirmation but will show up in log, then you get 60 marks that pops up as confirmation for finishing.
-
For what it's worth, currently it seems that leadership is broken outside of STFs. This is probably due to the fact that borg kill your crew so easily. Even with 5 human BOFFS my leadership trait is practically worthless during STFs unless I use crew resist gear. I agree, it's pretty strong with 5 humans and a mostly alive…
-
It was a poor answer. And people wonder why Dan catches so much TRIBBLE from a group of us that see the kind of things above. The AVERAGE MAX LEVEL PLAYER IS NOWHERE NEAR the mining refine cap, in other words everyone not selling dilithium on the exchange. Just the other month he was bragging about how everyone was earning…
-
You are under the assumption that with more and more ship upgrades, console and weapon stats will remain the same. That is a common misconception. STO is in a constant state of flux due to the design decisions by cryptic. As such you can be rest assured stats will always be adjusted for balance when necessary. No matter…

You know what... I sully support a vote to kick system. You know why? Because I have faith in my fellow man not to abuse it. And if that means someone once in awhile gets kicked from a group because they're a bully to everyone and everyone knows them and decides to boot him, well then, that's justice I would say, and a…
