I would say it would come down to the battlefield chosen, as Jem' Hadar are very good at guerrilla tactics. The "shroud ability" is not as effective when the Jaffa has an invisibility device that is actually a dimension shift personal device. Winner Jaffa. Like the Jem'Hadar, the Jaffa are physically and mentally enhanced,…

BVS sounds a lot like gear score, which IMO will drive off new PvPers even faster, as I don't think BVS alone will be the draw back to PvP and will be even more divisive to the community as people will eventually ask for it to bleed over into PvE, to fan and validate the fires of PUG hate. I feel like one band-aid answer…

I would like to see the NPC's use Tactics , Powers, and Builds equivalent to Player builds used against them on Advanced and Elite level settings in both que'd content and non que'd content. NPC's wouldn't need the HP increase as much, if they could defend themselves with all of the tactics and powers available to the…

The ships used to travel between two systems, If those systems have been moved, then the path is no doubt longer and possibly spread across a few more systems. I could swear i did see the Breen ship in passing on my way to DS9 last weekend. The random space encounters are still there, you can select them as a destination…

I totally agree, and in a way they have done already that, but people won't USE it as the measuring stick it is. The Featured content can be played on the same difficulty level selections( normal, advanced, elite) as the ques, and though its not the 'same' it does help prepare. EXAMPLE: In many instances, the PVE Que'd…

At this time, not enough people participate in PvP as the incentive is currently is not there. PvP needs a valuable commodity that players will want to acquire, that adds to their overall gameplay experience(PvE), even through the pain of playing against the elite pre-mades. I also think that a rewarding PvP reputation…

My 2 creds. Allow any ship we own, to be "slotted" as a pet, (like Neverwinter) to assist with the "harder future" content. I would like to see the Fleet support ability, turned into a "Pet" ability, for those reaching the rank of Fleet Admiral AND obtaining top tier in the command specialization (universal reward ability…

The Need/Greed system works well when you have a loot system that is 'class trinity' specific (WOW) where player A of X class can only select greed because the loot is of Y class. If the loot was also of X class then player A could choose Need. In STO their is not true trinity class divide and the loot is not 'trinity'…

Has anyone trying any of the 2+2 combinations? I recently combined a 2pc Assimilated + 2pc Kobali on a T5-U Fleet TER to good survivability results, building around speed +regen to keep me up on a 2x APO build, and it still has more than enough 'pop'.

I was going to say for exactly the same reason you use it (computing power) for in Star Trek Online.... They use it for weapons, weapons, spaceships, and weapons!....and the 'occasional' replicator (3-D printer) to make more weapon and spaceship parts!
-
Could it be that it (offense vs. defense) was balanced for end game, meaning for those that have already maxed out/capped all of their specialization skills, weapons, traits, etc. to the new levels and ships, and, until the rest get 'there' this is going to be an ongoing issue? If the OP was already referring to maxed out…

A true legend amongst us. RIP Spock! I hope a tribute/dedication is made in game for him.

I am a longtime player, and I recently did this in haste and lost a set of 8472 rep equipment. The tooltip could use improvement, but this is a lesson I should have been learned at lvl 10-20, when gear is still cheap, but the system wasn't available way back then. It's just a painful very and expensive lesson at this point…

I agree the STF CAN be community forming, but information exchange and communication is far more community forming than any STF. That's whats going on here. If you can accurately dissect and tell us all how to dissect every piece of personal information out of the STF parse, to include which specific buffs, debuffs, Doffs,…

This is why they list both highway miles (Queues) and City miles (Solo-map) when advertising the ability of the car to conserve gas, with highway miles always showing greater efficiency, less variables to decrease speed calculations. You continue to make my point.

Exactly spot on! Who cares about the number of shots in my example. The problem actually gets worse the more shots you take and the longer you fight in a team. An easy example to test. Run a CE: and use the parse window in the parser so its on top. Watch your dps in the group setting, then watch your dps drop, as your…
-
Again you fail to acknowledge that your PERSONAL CONTRIBUTION is skewed because of the test being set in a dynamic group environment. The actual numbers don't matter that you referenced, but by doing so you proved the ineffectiveness of testing in a group and announcing your inaccurate personal contribution as fact. In…

Sorry, I was thinking that would gimp FAW builds so I didn't mention it.

You made my point precisely WHY ISE should not be used. The amount of variables, from other players contribution or lack thereof is ever changing. The example I listed was rife with variable influence on dps. In a SOLO environment, the captain is the ONLY variable, the mobs and or hitpoints never change. The variables are…
-
This is why I'd suggest we as a community STOP USING ISE as the standard, because: (1) it does NOT allow for an accurate personal DPS measurement, as it is very dependant on buffs/debuffs from others for max dps. (2) it is a team environment, which means any added dps from your party to cut down the amount of time it takes…

I always thought the Continuum existed outside of normal time and space, able to create, alter, and destroy timelines and everything within them at will, restricted only by their ethical, prime directive-like restraints, and only experienced time as a reference point to lesser beings. From that belief, I think Nero's event…

Just wondering, I haven't encountered this issue yet, as work has taken my in-game time, but does running a copy of APO counter this? The tooltip for the APO ability directly counters this effect. There is also a specialization ability under pilot tab (Reckless Abandon) that counters it according to tooltip.

I feel your pain, but I look forward to the changes. "Change" is rarely fair at the time it is needed most, like it is needed in crafting. It (crafting) will hopefully be better for the masses in the long run, with the release of newer content down the line.

I built my Defiant outside of the cookie cutters, to stay in the fight much longer, while retaining most of the "Vape" features I like. I find I stay in the fight a lot longer (have had parses where my passive healing out heals the entire group's total in an ESTF) with a lot of passive healing/fancy flying, and wear down…

The poster I quoted used both the antiproton dmg/bonus numbers and the tetryon dmg/bonus numbers in the same formula, whether additive or multiplicative, he ended with a higher number for Tet using the same number sources, of which a pure tet build has more "modifiers" ANTIPROTON +20% crit sev (from AP beam array) -…
-
I have found this to be 100% right. In addition, a pure Tetryon build will also have TWO added instant attacks added via reputation/set bonuses (tetryon lattice and refracting assault) , that is like getting 2 free refracting beam overloads on a cooldown which also benefit from +tet, which in effect gives your tetryon BO a…

Firstly, you have a privileged right of free speech. Privilege because you cannot yell fire in a theater as a joke, you cannot run into an airport yelling "bomb", you cannot assemble the public and cause a riot against the government based on your beliefs, you cannot even degrade another individual verbally because…

I've been trying out the Dyson protonic set and the undine weapon sets in tandem (minus the turret), running the proton wep on the rear with the grav torp + KCB , and the bio torp in front with the quads (love the look) +2x DHC. I plan on eventually replacing the KCB with the bio turret when I finish grinding it out, to…
