Here is what I did. Figure out what weapons I wanted (AP Cannons) and buy 4 of them on the AH. I got CRTH and CRTDx2 (because the x3 were way too much). Then I Omega'ed them and they all got to epic by Captain rank, then just level them to IV. Trying to get epic when they are already at a high level is very costly on the…

I like the way the three FED ships look and the fact that you can customize them with all the other FED Pilot Ship parts. I cannot see me using any version over a Phantom SS/OSS build with the Rep trait. The damage is not even close in terms of single target damage. I can see using the SCI Pilot ship with a plasma build…

If you put all AP CRIT D cannons and three omnis on the back and run surgical strikes with the phantom trait, full weapon and engine plus OSS III, EPTWIII, APO, and whatever else you will out perform the Eclipse. The eclipse does it with multiple targets, that is not the way the Phantom works. The phantom is a single…

Try putting DHCs on the phantom and 2 AP omnis and the kinetic beam in the back. Putting regular beams on a Phantom, of course the damage will be low. At the very least put DBBs on the phantom. It takes a while to fly an escort at 100 engine speed, but once you get used to it I can promise you that the damage will totally…

There are three fleet DIL missions like the one on the other asteroid, so you can do 4 per day if you want. Also, they sell some fleet gear there as well. Warp Cores and ENG consoles and such.

You use OSS over Aux2Bat because it frees up three DOFF slots, and a bridge power. If you level out the pilot tree you can get extra hull with your attack patterns and you can also get an ability to fix any disabled engine so that negates and power loss. And engineer team will clear any power loss as well. Plus if you have…

This game reminds me of SWG, where things just did not work. Certain skills simply didn't do anything, others were most broken, and some were totally worthless. But in SWG you did not have missions, or PVE STFs or anything like that, so there was little there to begin with. I log in, do a few Borg Alerts hoping that the…

Phaser Lance Console should be left out of a build if you are trying to max DPS. You get one second of firing, then 1 minute and 59 seconds of nothing. Anything is better than nothing for those two minutes. It looks cool though.

Super Nintendo Chalmers here, Seymour! The troop transports from the starbase are moving towards the planet.

They need to re-do the entire KIT part of the game. First off, they need to make the items skills instead of inventory items. I have at least 40, probably 50 of those things taking up space in my bank. Not to mention the Intel or Command kit modules which I have yet to even buy. Then they need to figure out a better way of…

Surgical Strikes also reduces the fire rate of your weapons. If you are flying a 4/4 beam boat it is not a big deal just cover all arcs and eat a sandwich while you play. If you are phantom flying (or the KDF/ROM version) you need to figure out the timing because you are probably flying really fast, so get your turn rate…

Only game I have ever played with decent AI was minecraft. Those creepers....man, they always TRIBBLE things up and find you when you least expect it. MMOs....not one single MMO I have ever played had even a decent NPC AI. They were all garbage AIs, maybe because players are always a million times smarter or maybe it is…

IF you build it correctly, it is not a glass cannon and will survive everything a PVE enemy throws at you and more. Other than a big, fat cruiser using the Kobali 4 piece set and all those engineer powers I cannot think of another ship that (when built correctly) can take the beating this ship can take....and you get the…

I played the entire game, max all reputation and all crafting, max gear, multiple ships and everything else without typing a single thing in chat. Now all of a sudden there is a ground mission that requires some type of talking.... sorry, much easier to never take the mission and just do the easy space mission. I don't…

They really need to make a separate area for all the kit powers you acquire, it would free up about 40 or so bank spaces.

Vesta, AUX cannons and torps, Gravity Well III a group of monsters and Torp Spread III your plasma R&D/Dyson Rep while scatter volleying them, then swing around and launch the Vaudwaur torpedo and the Breen mission reward. Then just try to stay alive.

Just hit 15 in Recruitment for my last DOFF line needed for the accolade. Here are some tips: -Make HEAVY use of the Dyson Sphere Zone and Undine Space Zone. They have missions all over the place, but the main thing is the sector map part of each zone as well as Department Heads. You can crit on those missions and get huge…

Yeah, the only difference is the Delta symbol chats, and the voice overs from them seem to run out at level 30 or so. That is pretty telling.
-
I went to 50 as fast as possible, to get my Rom one of the T6 Ships. But there are a couple of road blocks to the Delta Quad. You need to do the Solanae intro, then the Delta into, and then the Neelix Mission which opens up the Argala Patrol Mission which is the one that levels your starship fast. I am right in the middle…

Being a voice actor is a serious career. The best get paid the most, and the work for decades. I am not talking about the Patrick Stewarts, those guys are on a different level simply because they are famous as screen/stage actors. I am talking about the people who you probably hear every day but will never see their face.…
-
You have reached the top of the zone border, so you are running right into an invisible wall. Like when you hit the edge of the map in sector space, you can turn a little but barely move. Just go down a bit and you should be all right. Also, that mission is probably the worst mission in the game. Shuttle, pathetic AI,…

I have always used this DOFF since I got him, and there has NEVER been a mention of any attack pattern. This is a total nerf. Also, I don't think the actual power ever worked so I guess that sort of makes up for it. The DOFF is totally useless, 100% U-S-E-L-E-S-S now. WTG

I would GLADLY take a rip off of Mass Effect if it meant STO would get the same production value/voice overs as Mass Effect. Instead, we get washed up Star Trek actors who phone it in....except Neelix, he was really good.

How about the Federation Biscuit Launcher, mentioned by Captain Picard in the TNG series. It was the episode where he and Beverly were having breakfast, croisants I think it was, and Picard was slightly annoyed at the way she kept pronouncing "that" word. Eventually he said Mr LaForge should really install a fresh biscuit…

The Phantom has Commander Intel BOFF station, use it. Intel powers are seriously good for that ship. Even with the upcoming nerf, Surgical Strikes is still a great power. If you are going to use it, take off any cannon power because they conflict. Slot the Phantom's T6 trait, Reciprocity, any fly max weapon, and as much…
-
I have a Duantless that I try to run as a Torpedo boat. I put the reciprocity trait on it, as the whole point is to blast it with Torpedo Spread WHILE the ships are gravity welled up. So, everything is mushed together. The two torpedos that work great together are teh Dyson Rep and the Counter Command rep. Both are photon…
-
I found that the 2xCritD+CritH are easily affordable on the exchange, for whatever energy you want to use. Omega them to Epic, get the accuracy buff and you really do not need anything more for PVE or PVP. I have tried to see if the Rapid Fire mod works when Surgical Strikes is active, I am pretty sure it does not but in…
-
Which is why the Vesta is still the best science ship. Put in two AUX cannons, Dyson Torpedo and load up on whatever science powers you want. Put in a vaadwaer torpedo and breen mine thingy in the back and don't ever adjust your weapon power. You can still put in tac cannon powers, and slot phaser consoles and go to town.…

No MMO, in the history of MMOs, has ever had balanced PVP and they never will. Start with Meridian 59 and go right up to the release of whatever MMO is most current. The solution? Don't even bother to try to seriously balance for PVP, the vast majority of MMO players want nothing to do with PVP and that is a fact.

I am using Borg engines with Nukara deflector. I have the three piece Borg set, but I don't really see anything about the Borg deflector that makes me want to swap out the Nukara one (for escort with torpedo).
