  • I'm not much of an Alt guy, I've made 3 in total and those were for events and never went further than completing faction before I flake due to the impending grind..
  • Anyone remember the great economic bailout for the greedy banks almost a decade ago now? Lul
  • I think the general consensus here is that those who were in love with JJ's interpretation of Star Trek are going to love this season and the merging of universes, as are those who loved ENT for what it was and tried to be. I guess I was one of the few who actually enjoyed the Iconian arc as a whole, mostly because it was…
  • Ah damn it.. I've been waiting so long to have my Klingon not look weird being bald.. Those ridge rings and the feral look of the Klingons from Into Darkness was really well done. Please Cryptic, if anyone is going through this thread take note about the Fed Klingons for at least the model visuals! Also on a side note, The…
  • This question has probably been asked but I hadn't seen any responses to it but: Are the Kelvin Klingon visuals limited to AoY chars? If not, do Fed Klingons have access to them? I'd love my main to have those aesthetics.
  • I dont know, there's something about the details of this film that's bugging me. I can get over the Enterprise getting its TRIBBLE kicked in every movie since 09, its fine. Kirk sounding more and more depressed with himself and his life, that's ok too its character development.. But there's just something.. missing? Maybe…
  • Point taken. I think the people who have serious issues with the game are generally the ones who have been around for a couple of years at least. I know from my experience knowing what the game was supposed to be from infancy, to launch, till now, there are plenty of gripes and thumbs up to be had.
  • A bit of truth in there. Being around STO since beta, the game has changed a LOT. Trust me when I say that every suggestion here I've seen (short of AI revamp) the Devs have tried. They can't do much of anything if at all about the AI difficulty, they've said it numerous times throughout the years and its unfortunate. So…
  • In general this is a good QOL update for this ship. So if I decide to go with this bonus then here's what I would most likely have to contend with: For a min/maxer its making a tough setup even harder to tweak, and I can only speak for myself here. Dropping another valuable console for the Quantum, dropping 2 DHCs for a…
  • Doubt it, though many people wouldn't go through all 6 pages before replying. But as to the Earth & Beyond reference from a couple of posts back.. God I miss that game. You actually were able to leave your ship and walk around space stations and whatnot. Crude, but way ahead of its time and of course Sony didn't want any…
  • This. I also saw someone saying they have to wait 15 seconds for BO, I think it may be an argument on base recharge because on a vape build BO can take as long as 5 seconds after activation and even that can be cut down. Not to mention the DOFFs and weapon mods that add to BO usefulness. I dont mean to deter from the…
  • I'm a cannon user through and through but even I can agree that nerfing BFAW isn't a fix. As it stands CRF or cannons altogether need another look in terms of damage drop off and overall efficiency. They are high powered burst weapons and I understand the reasoning behind them having a damage drop off as opposed to a…
  • Rising up to the challenge of our rival?
  • Pretty much everything that was said here. Except not many people play Korfez because it isn't just a mash spacebar scenerio. Which I think is also another root of the problem. As many others have put it, Cryptic upped the abilities available to the Borg at one point, and the forums was filled with people complaining about…
  • One thing that seems to be nagging me though is the Tholians. They seem to be continuously messing with interdimensional/timeline things and getting away clean with it regarding the rest of the interstellar community. I mean, the alliance should really clamp down and spank them for messing with stuff like this, as it…
  • I think under normal circumstances an ordinary MMO has to push level caps and or add "endgame" content, one of the few ingredients in the term "expansion". You have to keep the game challenging and your players wanting to grab the next best Assault Rifle MK XXZ v2 in order to bring down the "God" creature Kirk faced off…
  • I can only speak for myself in terms of T6 Defiant expectations.. Did I expect a set bonus? I actually didnt, I typically don't rely on that too much due to my mix and match console setup for "min max" reasons, I was very surprised that the Pilot escorts got the cannon buff instead though. Did I expect an integrated cloak?…
  • The ability was broken which everyone, and I meant everyone agreed that it was and knew a fix was coming down. I remember a post saying that the inherent problem was something bigger and took time to make sure it was done right. I don't think it was supposed to be a bait and switch. At the end of the day, the number of…
  • Despite the entitlement bit, which can be argued against Fed players as well, I'm in line with this thinking. KDF and Roms have their individual strengths, Roms could maybe get away with this because for a long long time their DD were "sciencing" the sh**t out of everyone. The issue with Science and science ships has, in…
  • This is going to sound horrible but please this is merely an opinion and not an attack, because in the end, we're on the same side. Anyway, those of you wanting rewarding and better PVP options, this game isn't for that unfortunately. EVE for example is perfect for those who are cutthroat and want to end others space…
  • You wont necessarily be breaking any records with having/using a cloak, especially as a Fed. It is situational and if you're about doing your job in said situations then it does work wonders. Flanking and delivering an alpha strike that severely damages or destroys your target has always been, in my opinion, the job of a…
  • This. On another note to the comment about getting a 2pc cannon buff for Defiant, they already did that with the pilot and the 3 pc console set.. Only reason I didnt opt for it was because 3 consoles on an escort is a waste compared to the other things that buff raw damage.
  • Nah dude, the sheer amount of KDF/Rom bias people I see here laughing at us for asking for a cloak would turn around and shed real man tears if we ever picked up the phase cloak. Though I'd have to say there wouldn't be very many practical applications for it in this game. As someone had already stated outside of pvp its a…
  • Kindly read what I wrote again without jumping up and waving a pistol in my face for having an opinion. Nowhere did I say that spending hours in a game was better or that I was better than everyone else. Take it easy. The first part of your response makes sense, yes the players are older and have obligations, that's life,…
  • There are a few reasons why and those that were around the forums know, some will vehemently deny people whining about it and how difficult it was. Why? Starts with Team ends with work. (note this is aside from Terradome not working for the longest time) Another reason is time length, which kind of doesnt make sense to me…
  • What cannons were buffed?!
  • Short term memories. Can't say its anyone's fault really. At least someone mentioned the Vesta, but there is also the Intrepid and the "quasi" science variants of cruisers and escorts. You guys get love, but they seem to want to move in a direction of having multi purpose ships as opposed to focus on on particular…
  • Not to knock the parade for this very very well designed ship variant, but yes, I too was hoping they'd drop the Defiant now. They know its amongst the super popular which is probably why they are going to sit on it until S11 with the flood of old and new players alike. Good marketing tactic.. Doesn't make it any less…
  • Been supporting this game from day 1 and I intentionally keep the monthly sub to help them out. With all the issues they've had to deal with, being put through the meat grinder with Atari and now working under their Eastern overlords I'm inclined to say whatever the differences in game direction I may have, they have and…
  • I agree with this post. The DPS league, in all their transparency in attempting to aid in "how things work" has done quite an effective job at turning this game for many players into more of a chore than it already is with the grind. "Its how we have fun!" Some will argue, and that's entirely valid, I wont dispute that…
