  • I hope this doesn't include the return of the Power Tray and BOFF Station bugs. Previously, with the start of every season, these bugs return and it takes Cryptic a month or more to fix these bugs... AGAIN. Cryptic, please say you have this issue fixed. Please...
  • Cryptic, some people like the old content, even if it's not up to spec or fits the storyline anymore. Please have a section under the Episodes list such as Legacy or Patrol, for when content is removed from a series, it gets put there. Perhaps they are be kept in the Episodes section where they were can be labeled Optional.
  • Thanks for the neat idea but you guys JUST got the loadout issue fixed (?) after how many months? Now you want to change the code again? Thanks for the option to opt-out! How about spending that time fixing existing issues, ship models, etc, please?
  • Happy New Year! It's been so long, I think I'll have to come back as a n00b. :D I'd like to do some Advanced STF runs. Are we still doing low-tier ship runs, if so what level usually? Thanks!
  • IMO... Best: 1. The VOs and story were awesome! 2. It can still be considered "free" but less so now since all the new Dilithium sinks. Worst: 1. Poor handling of STFs changes. 2. Lack of QA testing. (Can you say "Power trays!" and "Queue bug!" Please implement the proper meaning of Q.A.) 3. Lack consideration of player…
  • There are some people that just have no decency. I'll wait in line. LOL... I'll see Klingons waiting in line, while a bunch of Feds rush up, climbing on top of each other to hit the button to race. It's probably just an age thing. :/ They should make it a PvP race event. XD ...Or not.
  • In theory people are supposed to learn the STF by starting with the Normal ones, but since DR this no longer applies. The Advanced maps are setup to work differently enough that Advanced has little relations to the Normal. For example, Cure Space Normal is like pre-DR where a couple of enemy NPC come once in a while. In…
  • Are you sure you are using one of Wesley's science experiments on your ship? XD
  • The only ones that are fine with Holodeck being a beta test is Cryptic. :/ Tribble is the alpha test...
  • They want "cheeks in seats" and for their content to be played. If the content is not played, then it's likely that players are not spending enough time in the game and are therefore less likely to spend money. Dilithium is indirectly RL money that has been put into the game, if not by you, then by someone else. Dilithium…
  • Using the Search link above under the "Avatar" image above and searching for Scryer will help. The place to start is in the Federation Shipyards subforum, many postings and responses about Scryer builds have been discussed. If you still need help, post in Federation Shipyards. If you have a current build that you need…

  • IMO, if you think you might want to get the TOS Constitution, you should get it early on in your leveling of your character because once you rank up, like Captain level, it's almost useless. The early levels is when you can truly enjoy it for regular game play... and you get auto-leveling beam arrays from it. Once you've…
  • I rarely mess-up (usually when I'm not paying attention) the ice run. Just run (press & release shift) and use strife (sideways direction) keys, default is Q and E, and use the mouse to point the characters direction. I personally don't notice a difference with the boots - you don't need them. Strife in the direction you…
  • I agree. The more they lock things down in timers, the less fun it becomes. The big picture is that they need to make things more difficult to force the players to progress and therefore spend more in and out of the game. It keeps players from getting bored with vaping NPC with too much ease. It will get easier again as we…
  • Sorry, forgot to include sarcasm tags. :)
  • So, get your Tactical character into their escort or Scimi with all Mk XIV Epic cannons and stuffs and you'll start having fun.
  • Yeah, the STFs are pretty much FUBAR now. They are either too easy (Normal) or too drawn out (Advanced) to play now. The Normal maps are the same, just ridiculously easy. They changed the Advanced maps so it's almost impossible to play unless you have a premade team since the NPCs have crazy-high hull and shield specs.…
  • If you have ever seen a Breen without their suits, you'd know why they keep them on!
  • With tiny NPC fighter ships having 500,000 hitpoints (10 times as much as my cruiser!) and NPC cruisers having 1,000,000+ hitpoints, it makes the grind... a true grind. Honestly, having such hit hitpoints does not increase the difficulty of the NPCs, it just makes playing much less fun by dragging out the battles. I used…
  • The only outfit restrictions that MIGHT make sense is if Starfleet requires officers to wear uniforms at Starfleet facilities, ESD particularly, otherwise what's the harm in wearing whatever you want?
  • I think I'll just wait for it to be on the Exchange. It may cost twice as much but the odds are better. ;)
  • Nice to see a possible resolution for the power trays. Ok, now we need to have the NPC hitpoints reduced. I am up for a challenge but having small NPC fighter ships having 10x the hitpoints of a large player cruiser is ridiculous. It's not hard, it just takes WAY TOO LONG to take down NPCs. There's very little content that…
  • Sometimes you need to shake things up and try something different (oh, I guess they already did that for DR)... so maybe shaking more things up is not a good idea :) , but there must be other races our there that they can create Event ships for other than Breen. Right? We can look to the core races that have few to no…
  • If it's the ship that you don't really like, you can just do the race to earn the photos toward a future ship that you may later find worth while getting. Is it possible to cash-out the photos for Dilithium? Just a thought. Call me crazy, I like the race for the old-fashioned music. :P
  • The way that they did this it forces it to take up a console slot - which makes NO sense. They should have added a full hanger. Otherwise, make it a Device like the Scorpion Fighters.
  • MACO or Adapted MACO + the 2 piece Borg has been a defacto standard for a long time, until more sets from the newer reputations came out, that gave more choices. Although, for cruisers, the Adapted MACO sheild is my go-to shield, you need to also to consider ALL the set combinations that are available. Not just…
  • I think that's the Fail key... I try to avoid it. ;)

  • I have been trying to hold back because I have not entirely liked what Cryptic has been doing, but also I want to support them, as I am sure that they what to make DR more fun as well. Pathfinder is attractive, but I have always wanted the Bellerophon skin - but I am conflicted because I already have the Vesta pack. Also I…
