Same issue. Disabled Voice chat, turned all the volumes down and I still get popping. I am using BOSE speaker system, AND RAZER headphones and still get the popping. Phones don't do this, ever and not with quality speakers. It sounds way different anyways,,, but the popping is annoying as all hell.
This is what I am wanting to know... what is still useful, what is not, and whether or not a control/debuff science officer is viable in today's game. There are a lot of builds out there, but most of them are before the big change. I also got a couple of purple traits... what traits are worth getting is helpful knowledge…
So subnuc and photonic fleet are still good? Those are the only science powers I remember (other than sensor scan). If that is the case, then it would just be a matter of choosing a ship, and if the powers are, meh for science in those ships, maybe a different ship would be prudent. You dont by chance, have a build or…
Any input into this would be valued. My guy is level 9 right now... so not too huge of a deal, but I will need to get something rocking, or put him on the back burner and restart with an engineer or a tactical officer... Which I dont really want to do, unless it is that bad to run with Science for PvE/PvP.
