Just curious, may I know why the science oddy is better rated than the tac version? Is the sensor analysis skill from the sci version superior to the tac oddy's additional tac console slot (which can fit fleet tac consoles)? I'm interested in buying one as well and am in crossroads.
3 of them have different bridge officer layout and console layout to play around. 3 different ship masteries. Tons of customization options (more so than the intel ships and any of the 3 pack ships I've bought). New gameplay style, you can choose not to use command bo abilities and stick with traditional engineering boff…
If the aim is to purchase zen with dilithium, any gains in the dil bonus event is being eroded by the upward spiraling zen cost in the exchange. I've tried it before, and realized that it's not worth the effort since I can only turn in 8k marks per day and by that time prices have reached 30-40% spike in the pre-event…
The endothermic kit works with the doffs. So far I feel that it functions similarly to the exothermic version, just cheaper to obtain. I used it as a stop gap cause its much cheaper than the exothermic modules on the exchange or the fleet spire
When logging into the game, I saw the following announcement on the launcher: "We will be performing Account Server maintenance on 11/21/2014 from 7-9 AM PST (1500-1700 UTC). Please check the forums for more information" Is this supposed to be referring to yesterday's maintenance or the upcoming one tonight? I've not seen…
Counter command space set adds defence as well iirc. The recent crystalline cataclysm event rewarded a doff that synergizes eptE and evasive maneuvres, that could probably maximize your defense ratings as well. edit: Undine Engines and 2 set bonus grants a total of 10% defense
For KDF (aligned Roms also included), I always wait at Eta Eridani, Pi Canis or Regulus Sector Block for the doff missions "Forced Labor Requisition to XXXX". It requires 4 prisoners, with fairly high chances of success, and rewards 500 dilithium. However, it is not always available. Alternatively, the Security Officer at…
You can always play patrols with many ships to kill. Get your inventory filled with loots (which can be done within an hour at most) and then head back to Earth spacedock or the First City. Look for the vendor at "Requisitions". There you can discard your items at 50% of its nominal value (if you simply recycle them…
The thing abt Raiders is that it presents a very different gameplay than other ships, I just felt that given the price it's worth a try:) I agree with the part where you look at the number of consoles to judge a ship. Having said that a large number of c store T5 ships only have 9 console slots. Additional upgrade to fleet…
Hi, as a casual player myself playing for almost 2 years without spending a dime, I hope I can help you out with some of my extremely humble opinions. Yes! I do agree with you it is tedious to grind dilithium, which is why my first T5 ships were obtained outside the use of dilithium (in fact, many T5 ships are obtainable…
The ship made me love playing escorts/raptor again, the spinal cannon really puts Bortasqu's autocannon to shame. My only small little issue with it is that the Ship mastery does not work with Dbb beam overload. HY Torp does create a shockwave as intended.
Rock and Roll can be pretty useful for Escorts and battlecruisers if it's boosted with the 2 other skills that accompany it (eg. Magic carpet ride). On a strafing run fire everything you got, then as you are about to pass them, do a barrel roll (boosts your speed), then do an about turn (should be easy with the magic…
@angelbigfoot Since DR launched, my Romulan Tac is unable to train any Bridge Officers skills. I've tried it at different locations (New Romulus, First City, Delta Command), but whenever I tried to train skills, they got greyed out.
I didn't play the game long enough to have experienced the first level cap increase (40-50). But from my limited knowledge I assume that the T5 ships we can pilot at level 40 (such as the Excelsior Retrofit, Vulcan D'kyr, etc) previously belonged to the top-of-the-line endgame ships before the level cap increase at that…
Well, your first 2 paragraphs are somewhat correct. But you are terribly ill-informed on your last. First, Singapore is an extremely secular state (so extreme you'll be jailed for bad mouthing other races or religion), and gambling isn't illegal here. We do regulate gambling and make sure that it does not result in that…
Most of the weakness associated with the Vesta would be eradicated by Delta Rising. Weak Hull: More often than not I got 1-2 shotted by the Borg invisitorps. At 27.9k it is one of the lowest-hulled Science vessels (The Fleet Nova has slightly lower hull, but has 1.43 shield mod and amazing turn rate to compensate). DR will…
For KDF, I'd recommend the Vandal Destroyer for the Plasmonic leech. It's an account unlock for your KDF/KDF-aligned Rom a console that otherwise costs 30-40m EC on average per piece (on a Federation-side character). Federation side, the Thunderchild class gives you a Point Defense System console that is pretty useful…
I noticed that powers with AOE DOT (such as exothermic induction field and plasma grenade) tend to cause weird movements from npcs. They would try to avoid the dot patch, and as a result deviate from their original point of movements. When I used these powers, the undine will tend to travel a much longer route but end up…
May I also add on to the last point: Thank the person who heals you, altruistic and civic-minded players should be acknowledged. It also means a lot to the healer, and turn a boring grind mission smth really enjoyable.
