I can't even see how to start a new thread, though I can see enough to reply. I sure don't know how the person started this thread, it was fine about 12:30pm (pacific) yet sometime between then and now it went blinding...
-
Oh no! Feed the poor hamsters, hopefully a heathier diet too! I can't even get to the Login Servers, wish they'd reboot them all.
-
Understand, I knew what Ultimate meant, it was just a innocent teaser... ...simply because some Epic consoles are very effective at DPS as well, not all need to be Lockbox/Lobi/Promo Ship either; just the larger % often are. Still the DPS League Ship Build Guides for Ship are very solid (metaphor) to improve your Ship,…
-
Yes, though I said just Hull, didn't differentiate between Hull Capacity / Hull %; yet kind of implied it as % often refers to Hull Modifier. If ships don't say 0.9, 1.2, 1.375 or something else just listing Hull value it's usually 1. Good catch! @westmetals that depends more on the Hull Modifier, still I think the league…

I'm also not going to disagree with a single thing you've said. I wasn't trying to imply they had to use Lobi or Lobi Ship Consoles; I know most don't start there, and why I showed a more Budget Build. My simple point was that it then eventually evolves there, if one is looking for Gold, or Diamond standing. I clarified…

Yea, I wished too they had rethought releasing a T5U version with the 2380's Skin that came with T5u Bundle for 3000 ZEN; then released a 2410 skin for the Lockbox Variant with another Console. As that could have encouraged some to get both for a 2 piece Console set, then later even if they released a Legendary Variant…
-
Yea that is a very good point, Tractor Beam the benefit doesn't stick or last as long as it should based on tooltip. Your better using Repulsor Beam to Control 3, yet Tractor Beam should buff you for 15s even if the Tractored Ship is defeated.
-
Well it's all good advise, just depends how much their focus is on Lockbox/Lobi/Promo Ships for Traits or Consoles is. Still Mudd's Bundles makes a lot of more viable options at various times of the year. The preference for using a more balanced build (2 separate examples) above verses, going a bit more toward the DPS…
-
Well there is the Titan or Riker's Ship, and the Version in Lower Decks was the earlier Variant from 2380's the timeline of Lower Decks. Star Trek Online called it the Luna Class, based on earlier Novels featuring it that Riker commanded. They did release a T6 in ZEN store with a new 2410 skin too; there were also some…
-
Still no complaints from me, I think they find a right balance that offers something to everyone; regardless of their situation. So I try to be appreciative!
-
That's very similar philosophy to my earlier example of 16 (Primary Spec), and 15 in the two others. Either or could work very well, no real flaws with either -- just slight variations. I put only 1 point in Critical Chance at Tac, as it gives 2%, while 2 points increases it to 3.4%. Most in DPS League granted go 3 to get…
-
@ericsonxx The only caution there might be if your a SCI, flying a Sci Ship, might want to put more in Control & EPG depending your focus. Still I think he qualified that by moving a few around, so his point is very fare indeed! I'd not disagree with this working well for TAC/ENG for sure in Elite content. You'll be more…
-
@westmetals Understand, I dislike not having a popup that I can click very fast repeatedly in one place. On average right now that little right, then down, then up & left I find at best can open 1s every second or slightly faster, sometimes over compensate and maybe 1.25s. If I didn't have to move the mouse maybe .5s…
-
I agree with a few points you both made, still I don't think Phoenix upgrades are wise; we'd see just a bit too many even if upgraded ones were bound to account. People start with Ultra's, and then Very Rare. Still I do greatly appreciate the slightly increased drop chance for Epic tokens. I do agree with you they need to…
-
I mean the Nagus was one who agreed with me that Fleet Holdings being overlooked since 2018, is a large driver in the cause; sure there are a few others as well. Still I'm hopeful the Phoenix Change will Stick, and continue to drive downward pressure on the DZE long term. If it does then still I'd say Borticus succeeded,…
-
I said I got 1 Epic, in the 160 or so I opened the night before the change; what I hadn't said it like you I also got at least 1 Ultra too. Your experience was very similar to mine, still I think we were on the luckier side. I recall the guy who opened 1,000 and got no Epic's, and yet I suspect even after the change you…
-
Yea I think one Recruit Events they even gave +1 again, perhaps multiple times. I know the original base was 3 originally only expanded to 7. It's possible if they wanted all people to explore all Factions with Delta giving +1 more each time it was run out to a max of 3, yet that still only be 9. It's possible though as…
-
I do pretty much the same! My TAC & ENG each have 16 in TAC, then 15 in SCI/ENG. Only my SCI take 15 in TAC/ENG, and put 16 in SCI. It's very balanced, and yes you loose the ultimate abilities; yet your not short changing, or opening many weaknesses either. Sure I put some skills up to 3, yet only if it's something that…
-
This sentence is well summarized point, I wanted to highlight. One thing I always do myself, is first try to assume the other persons point of view, rather than my own. Because when someone communicates, it's to express their idea's or feelings based on what they perceive. Many of us often, or always first interpret the…
-
I disagree, they aren't significant and I'm not saying they are 0.1% (as a long suspected value many assume) they may have increased to perhaps 0.11-0.15% yet, the person I quoted thought maybe 0.1% to 0.2% again these are only examples! Still your chances on the first, are exactly the same on your 1000th attempt, it all…
-
I have seen more Epic announcements than I previously had. Still I realize it may sometimes take 500, 1000, to possible 1500+ boxes depending how lucky you are. A few get lucky opening maybe 100-200, while that's extremely rare I admit! Note: The only thing I've never liked about Phoenix, is having to right click and…
-
PS: Realize everyone there is 10 Promo Phoenix Box in the Promotions tab, not sure how long it will be there! Once per account, aside from the daily free Phoenix Box as well for the weekend.
-
I disagree, the ship looks very similar to Lower Deck's, I guess they went with the 2380's skin because most die hard's likely will desire that. Maybe in time they'll make a 2410 Variant skin, perhaps CSTORE may not be MW with 12 consoles though! Likely option is a Legendary Variant, yet that's easily 1-2 years out (at…

My post from another thread about DIL Vanity Shields: I'd agree!
-
Everyone does or approaches things differently, and having options available to all is wise. It's also encourages people to play more, which is in there best interest to keep people active & interested; not the opposite. I think the change they made to Phoenix, was very necessary. I don't think Kael needed to apologize for…
-
I disagree, I think it will help. From May 4th when the change was announced, the previous night the backlog was at 5.8m and today it's down to 3.8m; I suspect perhaps from the Dil Vanity Shield as well. I do however think while the Phoenix changes will have a positive impact, I figure it's more a slow and steady kind of…
-
That is a good point, they might even be able to check if you helped defeat or take control of any area's; as a requirement for getting the transport. Still people camping wouldn't need the Teleport either, but at least then it might encourage them to play while they are waiting. Another good point, maybe they can consider…
-
Seems the chance of Epic dropping has slightly increased, Jeremy said it's not significant but perhaps better than it was. I also believe he said Ultra may drop similar to Very Rare previously, yet they address that by requiring 5 Ultra's for 1 T6x upgrade now rather than 2. Yet with the reduction of one tier it (may)…
-
That also even the playing field as well, good idea! I just thought, once they triggered if it gave a 15 seconds, for everyone to get into position. But either or would work fine. :)
-
Or Early Afternoon, or Early Evening even if each instance spawned a Random Period. Still it's likely far easier to make Summer Resort early Afternoon, and the Classical Beach early Evening. Just if they added some things to do at the Classical Beach, like night time dances under the Stars, with Night time Fireworks and a…
