I had this exact issue when I tried to log into the game after a week away on April 20th. After searching the forums for a similar post and not finding much I ended up starting the game in 'Safe Mode', then switching to fullscreen after I was logged into a character. Haven't had the problem and haven't had to resort to…
I think you're seeing torpedo spread against a large number of targets. I do this in shuttle events like atmospheric assault when first engaging a wave of incoming shuttles. You have all of those shuttles in your forward firing arc and you get four torps for up to three targets. It can look pretty impressive when the…
I did the feature episode with two lvl10 delta recruits. Now granted, the content gets nerfed down quite a bit when you're lvl 10, but you also have next to nothing in terms of skill points and abilities to deal with the probes. On the first run I was a romulan in a dhelan warbird, DHC, turret and plasma torp. I followed…
Flat. Out. Wrong. I'm half way through level 56 and I can't do any more story missions until I reach level 57. I need 43,000 more points and I get a little more than 3,000 when I bother to log in and try to find opportunities to earn a *little* XP. Usually this happens when I run out of reasons to go to the dentist.
Issues of whether the proc is setup right or not aside, this isn't how probability works. Your chances aren't additive, you don't just add your chances and cap it at 100%. In this case, you need to look at it as a question of how likely the proc is to fail. 0.01 chance (1% as a decimal) for one shot, 0.01^2 for two shots,…
In previous encounters, the Iconians were all "TL;DR. I'm gonna kick your puny TRIBBLE anyway. HA! Don't let me catch you talkin' smack again! What was I doin'?" :P
Not only will your beloved borg science kits continue to work, it'll be consigned to obsolescence now that anyone can create an identical kit... with a fifth power.
The market rises and falls in cycles. Back when the JHAS first came out I was able to finance buying one off the exchange by crafting and selling items on the exchange over the course of two weeks. Back then a bug was 300M EC, and I could make 50M crafting on a good day with about 30 minutes effort. After that I just kept…
I got the same message and tried again, then I got a message that I'm posting comments too quickly. I'm guess I've been duped (intentionally or not) into disqualifying myself.
Close. The people howling about how OP it is will be fighting with the people moaning about how under powered it is and how Cryptic ruined the Scimitar. The people drooling over it will be off playing with their new Scimitar or moaning about how much it costs. Someone will want a free bug for paying for all three flagship…
I have to second what tpalelena says. I did some combat log analysis on my [CrtD]x2 [Dmg] Mk XI DHC and found I missed about 2 shots per STF (yawn). Two [Acc] modifiers is overkill for PvE.
With the sale on Zen and lock box keys this past weekend, I was almost tempted to buy some more keys and build up the remaining lobi crystals I need to upgrade a dominion space set to Mk XII. Almost. Then I read the blog about how they were going to make the tholian ground set upgrade I previously paid for a free part of…
Oh sure, really cool. Imagine yourself slowly melting into a sea of rage while trying to get 9 other players to pay attention to you explaining how the CE needs to be defeated while some griefer is intentionally hitting the wrong notes. Hey! You've reinvented the original CE mission!
It hasn't been mentioned, but the OP sounds new enough to the game he may not be aware of power levels. In the bottom center portion of your HUD is a small display as part of your ship status that displays power levels. If you haven't modified them since you got your ship, your power levels will be 50 to all four system.…
@Sumibe Science/Peghqu' English EST session No impairment Did NOT make 1st session (assuming by 1st session, you mean Stage B of the curriculum and not Stage A, which was the really first session)
Shyeah! I want CRF 3, BO 3, ApO 3, GW 3, TBR 3, RSP 3 with 5 tact, 4 sci and 4 eng consoles on my DHC equiped Odyssey with a base turn rate of 20! Look, OP, you can't have all of the best goodies on one ship, that's just not the way this or any other game works. The first thing you have to learn about any MMO is how player…
xsharpex is basically suggesting that you spend tons of credits on "mandatory" conn officers so you can run Torp Spread I instead of a second Tact Team I. No, don't do that, just slot the second copy of Tact Team, you can use the one higher level torp spread and you'll be happier and richer for it. But do replace one of…
Presumably you're using an Alien and using the costume editor to make it look somewhat rabbit like. Have you had any success? What did you come up with?
You've got this backwards. With more players competing for Zen on the exchange, the higher the dilithium per zen cost. What Cryptic is doing is contracting the supply of dilithium (through measures like the 8000 refining cap) which drives down the dilithium per zen cost. Its more expensive to buy dilithium with Zen than it…
Erm.. No, cause this And this did happen in cannon more than once. I vaguely remember the scene... Geordi: "OMG! Everyone's gone crazy and we're all gonna die if Wesley doesn't think of something quick!"
IMHO, escorts/raptors/destroyers are the dominate ship in STO, and I like that I now have one that an eng or sci capt can fly that allows for at least LtCmdr level abilities that aren't tactical. But if you're really struggling between the Bortas'qu or the Peghqu', it really depends on your preferred play style. I think…
