Same issue, or what looks like it, with a Krenim I commissioned today. Have tried taking him into ground combat, switching on and off away teams, etc, but nothing worked. Oddly I can see he has one specialist (Temporal) power selectable which he will use in combat.

But we got one. Patrickngo, would you like some chilli sauce with your hat...?

I know you're not big on DSC's redesigns, but you would probably be amused at some of the intellectual gymnastics going on over on Reddit. There is a large Fed fanbase in paroxysms over the fact that, in DSC, the Klingons have been shown as decisively outmatching the Federation despite their infighting. Ironically they're…

Simple consoles and spec seating could go a LONG way on the Vor'cha T6. It's a great platform that outperforms pretty much every other T5U cruiser... it's only a few months since I was last using one with, of all things, a Beam Overload build. That much-maligned maneuverability helps with everything except FAW. The ship…
-
Counter, though; the Fek'lhri appear to have been a major element in STO's version of the legend of Kahless, while secondary canon (specifically, Keith Decandido's excellent novels) has the Hur'q invasion as a major factor in the Klingons' drive to become a conquering galactic power. Without those two threats, the Klingon…

I have see the earlier versions :). The remasters are from a decade ago, but very good about keeping the 60s style.
-
Thing is, that paradigm's already pretty dead - because of exactly the balancing subtleties you mention, there are C-store ships which generally outcompete lockbox ships. And the Roms' advantage has been reduced as other factions have got more decent (fleet) BOffs. The D9 and Sarcophagus certainly aren't game breakers,…
-
You're confusing the remastered and original versions - the D7 model was made with funding from Aluminium Model Toys (AMT) for Star Trek's third season, so there was an effort to use it that season. The remastered versions inserted their CGI D7 into Season 1 and 2 episodes, where originally Klingon ships had only been…
-
I think you've got a serious case of rose tinted spectacles there; the only memorable Klingons in TOS are Kor and Kang (though I think "Tribbles"' Korax deserves an honourable mention), while most of the others are thugs or slimeballs. The much-beloved D7 had a total of one appearance as a Klingon ship, having been created…
-
Ah, I have missed this! It seems it is time for me to look at the glass half full once more. :) Patrickngo, as always you make the point about "what is Honour" absolutely spot on. But I give Discovery's writing staff a bit more credit than that; the point about honesty and being willing to die for your beliefs is what…
-
Still the game's most evil and shooty looking ship! Had great fun running wolfpacks with this back in the day. IKS Ngok'yao brought out of mothballs...
-
Perfect! Thanks for confirming this. Now where did I leave my chainaxe... I could do, but I don't like the loose ends. My AoY is the only character I've got whose theme is dictated by Cryptic, so I don't really have anywhere to go with the alt. Much neater to delete and be done.
-
Hmm. Between this and the anniversary ship, Andorian T6 escorts coming soon.
-
> @dragnridr said: > Hey look.....no Romulan love yet again......Why am I not surprised. Oh, BTW, Discovery is not doing very good. I doubt thise lockbox will fair any better. Plus they are ugly ships.....I'll pass on this round, yet again. Source? It's just beven picked up for a second season so can't be doing that…
-
Wow. First time I've ever wanted multiple ships from a lockbox.... will be worth flying a Crossfield just to annoy the haters ☺
-
Martok! Well that's worth the price of admission. ...

I do fly a Klingon D7 but don't have a Rom character. So I'm neutral, but can understand why Rom players would want one of their very few canon ships. The problem is how you do it; anything other than a promo pack is a kick in the teeth for those who've gone to the effort of acquiring one. I think the only option would be…
-
I can't say I'm a big fan of the visuals on the Klingon versions; I can't get my head around the "Kaiju" forward sections. If they were rotated 90' for a more traditional Klingon "hammerhead" look it would probably be fine.
-
I think it's probably fairer to compare secondary deflectors and experimental weapons to somewhere in between a "primary" system (Weapons, SDEW) and a console. The fact that they're always active and deliver more benefits makes them better than a console, but not as good as a weapon or deflector. Hangar bays are another…
-
I wouldn't say that; in the current state of things a decent hangar bay will out-shoot most consoles (my 23c Dread's elite To'duj can quite happily parse 10K by themselves in ISA). So I'd say that besides the headline-grabbing "first ships with 12 consoles!!" these beasts are, on first inspection, parallel to the…
-
I agree with your conclusion, if not reasons, because the Kamarag's Fed Oppo is the Ambassador-class; the last Enterprise variant not to get a T6 treatment. Watch for it in a 3-pack when they finally get around to the Ambassador.
-
Post-launch but pre-F2P here. This is a fascinating response - while unscientific it's interesting to note the sheer number of Pre-LoR players responding - which suggests that (at least in terms of the STO forum) the game is doing a good job of retaining long-term players. Of course, there is an alternative that it's…
-
It veers into that territory when you bear in mind that there are at least 2 public channels (NOP Public Service and Speed Event) where you can get a 5-round planned group in about 30s. This is my approach; run the untimed version for accolades/ unlocks, then use the channels for grind runs. 6 alts in <30 mins is not bad…
-
This. In the absence of real-world resale (at least within the TOS), lockbox items are worth their emotional value to players and nothing more (a variation of the Ferengi "worth the sack" rule?). Which is why I suspect they're more Pokemon than poker.
-
This is why Ganalda is a much better place for ship fitting - the shipyard has a bank and exchange in the same room. Still no reason why Qo'nos shouldn't be the same, though.
-
I've bought bridges before - I like all my ships to have an appropriate bridge. These things matter :). That said it would be heavily dependent on the bridge / interior in question; about the only one not in game I'd pay for is the 22c NX interior, and I'd happily drop 2K Zen for that.
-
In this instance, what makes it credible is the weird timing. We've barely come off the Smuggler Escort promo, and they rerun the 23C ships one - not even an Infinity R&D pack promo. This is a bit of a departure from Cryptic's normal pattern which suggests some marketing knee-jerkery when they realised they could make some…

Dub'Hos - "Strong Back", in various permutations a D9, Bortas'qu and Vo'quv. Qul'Puq - "Fire Child" (D7 cruiser) Both, embarassingly, names coined 25 years ago for my FASA RPG characters and now retained by their STO incarnations. Then, for good humour, there's the Korath-class IKS K'pal'diH.
