  • Yeah, the amount of single character unlocks in this bundle is frankly laughable.
  • Most of us are.. yes. I am not advocating for the change because I would actually use it.. 8 Omni Beams would be stupid. That doesn’t change the fact that the restriction is pointless and also has the added disadvantage of not being communicated to players in game. If someone wants to do 8 Omni beams.. fine.. let them. The…
  • The disconnect here comes from the fact that I don't see this as a valid argument. Players can (and do) already do this with single beams with their 250 degree firing arc. An 'Omni Boat' would just be a slightly lower damage version of what player can already do. I believe you're greatly over estimating any benefit of 8…
  • Sounds very reasonable, nothing there I can really disagree with. :smile:
  • Then you don't understand the topic you are arguing against since there is nothing at all exploitative about the request, as covered earlier in the thread. Nothing proposed exploits the game or in any way effects your user experience.
  • Indeed.. I actually don't think we disagree here, just a slight miscommunication. I am going to isolate this statement: You're absolutely right, and I would never advocate reducing supply without adding demand. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my view, the game needs both a slight reduction in supply and a massive increase in…
  • I never implied that Supply and Demand were equal parts of the equation, but cases can be made where Supply does indeed lead demand. Auto makers that make a certain model 'limited edition' for example. Nothing inflates the demand for an exotic item as much as announcing 'we're only making 250 of these.' Either way,…
  • This is true, it will not effect players already sitting on mountains of Dilithium. That doesn't mean that supply doesn't need a reduction. First of all, you have the rest of the player base to consider, but ignoring that and looking at the players you are talking about, once they spend that Dilithium, you don't want them…
  • I think the problem is that people don't always know that rule. I know it because of sites like this, but how would anyone that just plays the game and doesn't visit this site or reddit know that you can only equip one set and one crafted? I am not aware of anywhere in game where that information is given.
  • His comments are wholly appropriate to your combative and condescending responses. You make a ton of assumptions, criticize anyone that disagrees for that same action and imply that your implementation is the only one with a 'modicum of common sense.' Just to touch on your questionable 'point' though, engineering sense has…
  • You pretty much nailed it, the problem with the trait is simply that there are better options that do the same thing with less restrictions. Now, if you don't have those traits.. then sure, the Lexington Trait will give you a situational boost.. it's not totally useless, but it's certainly not a trait anyone is going to…
  • Yes, that is why the restrictions are in place. It should be removed because the assumption is frankly ridiculous.
  • The restriction on Omni Beams is completely pointless and should be removed. It's very unclear for newer players (or those that don't read about this stuff) and it causes needless player confusion and cost for absolutely no reason at all. As said, Omni's already sacrifice a mod for the [ARC] mod, no one is going to create…
  • I use it quite often, it should work just fine for STO.. though I don't use it for this game. Next to the box where you select your profile, you will see a + sign, click on that to make profile. Name it something easy like STO so you know what it's for. Then you just click on the box that looks like a picture of a pencil,…
  • There is no question that something isn't working as intended. The trait description clearly says ANY Intelligence Bridge Officer Ability. So either the trait is bugged, because only certain skills are proc'ing it, or the trait description is bugged because it specifies something that isn't true. It should be passed up the…
  • There is quite an active community on the STO-League Discord, probably the best you're going to get. https://discord.com/invite/7dDYA3j Please add your @Handle to your nick.
  • Yeah, it's currently cheap because it was recently made available for Lobi (for a limited time) so the supply greatly increased. Same thing happened with the Tzenkethi Tzen-Tar which is also a top tier ship. Every once in a while, Cryptic makes one of these ships a Lobi ship and that makes them highly accessible for a…
  • As with all ships, it's as survivable as you wish it to be depending on your build. It has very versatile bridge officer seating, and depending on the consoles you use, the ship can be built as a pure damage, tank, or hybrid. I certainly wouldn't say that 'tanking' is it's focus by any means.. but it's a tough ship for…
  • For Directed Energy Weapons builds, the Inquiry is arguably the best ship in STO along with the Vaadwaur Juggernaut. It's a top tier ship, and it's fantastic.
  • Either one is fine honestly, no preference. It's not that much extra 'effort' to click a link, but sure.. it's a bit quicker to just have the actual notes in the post. The benefit of the current method is the links for people to convert the information to their time zone, but there seems to be trouble getting those links…
  • I am not a lawyer, nor do I claim any legal expertise, but I believe the statement about r/sto not being 'official' has plenty of grounds for challenge. They declare themselves the 'official community' sub reddit for STO. We all know that the 'official' site is actually this one, but the sub reddit makes that claim and…
  • It's already been explained to you, you are just either unwilling or unable to comprehend it. It's always easiest to hand wave issues like this as 'player greed,' but it's often a more complex issue, as it is in this case. Are there people that do things like buy up supply in order to inflate prices? Yes.. but this about…
  • Thank you moderation team. Sometimes, the best way to have a civil discussion is the removal of those that only intend to be toxic.
  • Then you are under the impression that market prices are dictated by the exchange cap? Because they’re not.. that’s why this thread exists in the first place. The Exchange Cap is currently 1.5B and people are using trade channels because they’re selling for more then that. If your logic were valid and the exchange cap…
  • Pfft.. we carried you dude. :lol:
  • These changes really should be made.. as soon as possible. Raising the Exchange Cap to 2B would at least get promo ships back on the exchange and make people less reliant on Trade Channels. This entire quote is nothing but a complete misunderstanding of the problem as a whole. Well done.
