That is correct. In a thread about Gravity Well (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=284891), Borticuscryptic posted the following comment: When I concurred that it affected the pull, I should have clarified that I meant that they extend the range of Gravity Well (thereby, extending the range of the pull),…

While much of the information above is correct, unfortunately, your information is off some in regard to Tyken's Rift. That is, you are correct that, since both Tyken's Rift and Gravity Well are science abilities, both are boosted by higher Aux power. You are further correct that the AoE damage effect of both is boosted by…

You could not possibly have checked the performance of this weapon since the last patch a few days ago if you are claiming a 50% successful deployment. Heck, it wasn't even that bad after the Season 6 change. Last night after running some STFs and Fleet mark events, I can recall only one launch where the mines did not…
-
I don't know what you are observing, but as of the last patch, the cluster launcher is vastly improved, in some ways, even better than the pre-Season 6 version. I, too, noted the decrease in effectiveness of the weapon when Season 6 hit. In fact, technically, before that even since I did some testing on Tribble and…

Extend Shields is a great ability. However, I don't slot it for a simple reason. It is only castable on others. I much prefer to slot abilities that can be cast on self and others. I tolerate Emergency Power to Shields being castable only on self because I use it constantly, so it is on cooldown most any time I need to…

This is Star Trek. Wouldn't the proper expression be "Hoisted on your own Picard"? :D

For wave 10, they directly imported the code from Half-Life at the end of the game, the outcome that occurs if you don't go along with the guy that contacts you at the end. :D

I have the Armitage Saucer and Struts, the Oslo Nacells, and the Akira Hull. I use the type 6 skin. Now, maybe I don't know what the skin is supposed to look like (I don't have the Thunderchild), but I selected it, and it looked different than the other skins.

Not needed. Tribbles spread rapidly on their own. See above. Everyone knows that a Tribble Point Defense system is a ground based system and only works on Klingons.

The skill planner is a good tool and should be current. However, the second link on Skills should be taken with a grain of salt. Much of the general ideas may still be pertinent, but the article is based on the old skill tree. For instance, there are skill boxes for the various types of projectile weapons that do not exist…

The BOff trainer can train any BOff ability up to Commander, but he or she cannot train the highest version of those abiltites. So, for instance, the trainer can train Gravity Well I (Lt. Cmdr) and Gravity Well II (Cmdr), but not the Commander level Gravity Well III version. Where you can get training for the highest level…

As you appear to understand, there are Bridge Officer Candidates (i.e., ones you own but have not put on your crew) slots and Commissioned Bridge Officers (i.e. those on your crew) slots. The piece it seems you are missing is that you can have a limited number of both of these types. For BOff Candidates, I believe the…

Where did you do your testing? You will get different results on the ground and in space. To check the effects of space gear proplerly, you need to be in space when you check it.

I hate random invites of any kind, and I have argued against them in every game I have played. They are rude. Proper etiquette is to send a tell asking if someone wants to join a team giving the reasons for the invite, etc. However, he is not talking about a random invite in this case. He asked specifically about being in…

For Fleet Alert (the 5-man), the criteria is that you defeat the invading forces within the allotted time frame. While I do heal the base out of principle, it is not really necessary. The base can be a smoldering hulk that cannot even be targeted any more, but as long as the invaders are defeated before the timer runs out,…

I have not seen it as a bug, but it sure is fun hitting a bunch of enemy ships with Scramble Sensors, which is intended to foul up their friend-or-foe recognition, causing them to fire on each other. Nothing funnier than seeing a bio-neural warhead fired by the enemy homing in one of their own ships. Well, except maybe…
-
I agree that it is doubtful because they specifically excluded certain ships, such as the Atrox and the D'Kora (and most, if not all, lockbox ships). In those cases, they are not standard Federation or KDF ships. Therefore, it makes sense that they would not necessarily have access to the same materials having been "built"…

In the real world, if a ship is on loan to another country and manned by the loaning country's crew, the ship's prefix would not likely be changed no matter how long the arrangement. By contrast, if the ship on loan (or lease or whatever) and is manned by the receiving country's crew, it is almost certainly given a prefix…

This. The performance of anything dependent on a subsystem power level is determined by the actual (i.e., current) power of the system at the time the calculation is made. That actual power is the sum of the power setting and any buffs that may be active minus the results of any drains to power (internal or external). That…

I agree, Voyager wasn't very canon. They killed off the science crew. Had they been true to canon, it would have been the red-shirts. :D

The only limit on the number of respecs you can do is the number of tokens you have. As you mentioned, you can sometimes get free respec tokens, but anyone can buy as many as they want from the C-Store. They are listed under Services, and cost 500 Zen ($5) each. Since you can convert Dilithium to Zen in the Dilithium…

Here is the description of the Ablative Armor console from the C-Store description: Just to put your request in perspective, basically what you are asking is that a console that makes your ship virtually immune to damage should be able to able to be kept active indefinitely. And you don't see any balance issues in that?
-
Others have answered, but I would just add the following comments: No, you cannot change a bridge officer's (BOff's) profession. You cannot change his race or his innate racial traits. You can, however: 1. Change a BOff's appearance and uniform at the tailor. 2. Retrain any or all of a BOff's abilities to other abilities…

I highlighted the important part of your question. If you are going to answer your own question ... :D
-
Being able to get position before you are fired on is a big advantage, and it comes with a Thoron Generator console that does damage, drains Aux, can shut down Aux subsystems and may Jam their sensors. It is true that the Peregrine will do more damage, but don't sell the Stalker short.
-
It is hard to say. They are both nice fighters. The Peregrine comes with an innate Cannon Rapid Fire I, so you don't have to use your only BOff Slot (Ensign Universal) for a boost to firepower. On the other hand, the Stalker does have an innate Mask Energy Signature, so you can get very close to your target without being…

This is irrelevant. The court ruled that way because the landlord has to be able to enter the aparment for legal reasons. For instance, if a fire breaks out of if the tenant's bathtub is overflowing, causing damage to the structure of the building or someone else's property. Last I checked, PWE does not need to get into my…

I have had it come up once. It worked fine for me.

I cannot speak to the start of the test because I only got in on the last week or so. However, I specifically recall seeing the 20K Fleet Credit price tag plus 4 of some other currency. At the time, no one I talked to knew what that currency was, which turned out to be the Fleet Modules. So it may have said only one at the…
-
First, there is no requirement that Dilithium contributed to the base come from Dilithium converted from Zen, making the point that Dilithium might be converted to Zen and that Zen might have been purchased with real money completely and utterly irrelevant. Unless someone actually buys Zen and converts it to Dilithium and…
