This is clearly for existing players and not to generate new players. I highly doubt there are any new players to this game. To add to that fact, what if someone just recently started? Say last month? (give or take) maybe even 50 or 60 by now and doing the boring grind? They JUST finished grinding all this and now have to…
As of 7/31/2014 this is no longer true, from the patch notes: ========== CUT ========== Powers: Beam Overload: Beam Overload attacks are now always a Critical Hit. Their tooltips have been updated to indicate that they always Critically Hit. Beam Overload no longer drains Weapon Power. Beam Overload's base damage has been…
The odd thing is this very point is still valid, if not 5 years later. So the real question is, have you had enough time yet to address the issue with KDF getting no good ships. No secondary deflector, no 5 console sci ship, no new raider. Oh wait nevermind these posts get ignored.
Yea I can get csv3 or ts3 easy but getting both is a major problem and impossible without a trade. Just like my bo3 and csv3 boff I have currently, can't obtain it. Devs really dropped the ball by not at least either setting up a no-trade vendor or leaving skill training in game until the skills were available. Poor…
The question is, why not for melee on an engineer? The same reason why ground turrets medical/shield generators, and mostly even mortars have gone out the window for engineeers: Just too slow. By the time you set up your turret, generator, med generator, support drone (all of which are obsolete, how many eng powers is that…
My main is an Engineer and in looking into how to improve my damage I have to agree that if I want to do damage as in huge crits, you have to be tactical or science. To top it off and make matters worse, I am a KDF engineer so the selection of ships is limited. In looking at Ezri Ryan's posts on youtube as well as reading…
Your right, there is a very bad air today and many an angry player. Even those that usually don't get angry. Just a bad idea to do an anniversary and a box launch at the same time. In the meantime I am seeing more and more KDF and even a few Feddybear friends are now playing their kdf alts more and more. Kind of weird…
I actually think there is quite a lot of of revenue to be had from the KDF side, as well as some great content. The Orion Syndicate: The Orion are littered all over qo'nos, yet all we have with them is a mutual defense pact. We gave them ships, weapons, and a planet supposedly in exchange for allegiance, access to their…
Okay leaving the ship as is, is a good choice. My request to make it more like elachi ships by giving it subspace jump is no help. It was a lame one and does not address the true issue anyway. The bottom line is this: Elachi Subspace tranceiver nees a drastic cooldown reduction. Two piece Elachi Subspace tranceiver and…
I never said it was, maybe you should read the post. Thank you for stating the obvious. Again thanks for the obvious. Its the Crescent wave cannon console in case your confused. The lobi store also has a wave cannon, the Heavy Crescent Wave Cannon. The latter is the one that is a net dps loss for that slot and is a lobi…
Surely enough, lets use your Temporal science ships as a perfect example: It has a higher shield mod. Its has a higher hull strength. It has more device slots it has more crew It has one less turn 15 vs 16 (made up for later with its piece bonus), one less tactical console, and one less weapon fore. both have unique bridge…
The sole purpose is to give this ship some kind of unique feature that is inherent to the ship and give some feedback from the community as these things are kept secret and often not as tested as other ships. As it stands now there is nothing unique accept the pulse cannon console and the support ships. Your better off…
Its part of the ship line just as part of the ship, it fits the ship just as subsystem targeting and sensor analysis fits the temporal science ship. Sure I can slot a subspace jumper however that is if you want only one science console as an option. The sets already take up too much room and if you have the full Elachi set…
Thanks guys for giving clear examples and showing me how you love the ship, as well as confirming some pet squishy-ness and loadout examples I learn something new every day! :)
This is great but you should also open up the Shard of possibilities and Orphidian cane and the like to them because these are for ground what this promotion does for space combat for new players. These two tools in particular can be very desirable to new players that are watching the older players use them. Hopefully you…
The game has to get tougher and expand and in the future this might be a baseline/ok ship, compared to what comes only Cryptic knows. The important part is to notice what they did right by this lockbox (other than it being a lockbox) With the escort in particular: -Great bridge officer layout -Great art work for ships,…
I'm all for a trade in. I have already replaced mine with interceptors and gave up the fight. In fact I'd take a trade in for all my hanger pets, as often even the ones that do work just sit there is space and do nothing if you give them commands. The whole thing needs an overhaul.
I run 1 esft on each of my 42 federation characters too.. As a serious aside, with advanced Orion slavers in 6, 20 minutes sessions (borg red alert): 20min/4 (15 seconds per steal)=80 steals, x6 Orion Slavers= 480 steals, 2 success. The returns so far are any combination of (2)medical supplies, (1)provision. Conclusion:…
Earrings from the lobi store are restricted to females as well. Its pretty dumb and sort of sexist. Yet my male Ferasan has two sets of double earrings, you can even have a nose ring. Bajorans also favor earrings, and I know a few human males with some. Same for skirts, sure maybe we don't want to run around in a summer…
So SIX of your toons marauding for hours on end moving your characters from one zone to the next, waiting the required time for those doff missions to end anywhere from 45mins to 8 hours, using possibly hundreds of millions of EC worth of purple doffs for 6 charachter for 2.5mil ec or 20k dilithium? Its seems like you went…
This is about a broken game mechanic and not about farming contraband. So you want the inspect freighters (which by the way is availble to KDF and not just federation) to award only contraband and not romulan ale and trash. It sounds more like remove contraband from KDF and give more to us so we don't have to rely on kdf…
Perhaps they are just taking a bit to get around to it. Gecko had stated that they don't "normally" change things that people payed for without notifying the community. I doubt they are trying to make changes to contraband as doffing is untouched. I think they meant well but the changes have broken something else. I get…
I got 300 EC, 2 provisions, and 1 medical supply and it only took me an hour of fighting borg. You see the trick is to have 6 or more out at a time. Hey if we team up we might have enough food and drink to get the crew together and have a party down at the space dock and watch all those fancy pilots who use dps sell their…
That is why I had to delete half the post about carriers themselves being broken as in no free one etc. Its so easy to go on a ranting roll and get off topic about KDF in general. So far for me a drone ship is not worth it until you get a fleet variant with elite fleet pets and even then that is a long road of dilithium…
The simple math for me is 6.00 (or dil) for Fersan cat playable char, 10.00 USD for a carrier, $2.50 for 2 extra bridge officers if you went that route ( I did not), 32,000 dilithium for advanced slaver pets, rollplay potential (priceless), actual return, 2 provisions, 1 water purification system, 300 credits. I can blast…
Well mine started working but they are still broken imo. In two missions (not in a team) I got 2 provisions, 1 water purification system, and 300 credits for my hours time. I supported the raids, sent in boarding team, crowd control, advanced slavers doing their meesly dps. For an hours time I get <1000 credits worth of…
Yea at this rate I think I'll go back to fed or roll something with dps. My advanced slavers stared working, in a little over an hour I got two provisions on one mission and 1 water purification system, oh and 300 credits on another. Meanwhile dps oriented builds are pulling in million dollar purple mods to sell on the…
My advanced slavers from dil store don't seem to loot at all. I am fighting things way higher than me and still nothing. Either they are broken or the drop rate is so horribly bad that I have not recieved anything in many encounter raids.
