  • I can't tell (after several rejections for invalid password) if it's because my password is bad or there are issues with launching the game. I've changed my password 3x so far.
  • Meh. I run Breach occasionally when a friend requests someone to make up their team, otherwise I can take it or leave it. In fact, the last 2-3 weeks I've only been on STO a few times, for less than an hour each time. The only thing I wish is that if you choose not to complete the grind for ship/card/whatever, or if life…
  • Everyone's favorite bug -- the 'intermittent' one. Makes you want to bite buttonholes out of things.
  • Taylor, I've never played ME, but the soundtrack is very good. I left it running, and when Sovereign's Theme popped up, I flashed back to my first encounter around level 40 with a D'deridex. A 'where's the replicator; I need clean underwear' moment, and the music fit perfectly.
  • I already have a T6 ship on all my regularly played characters, and don't see the benefits of yet another one. With the constant grind to upgrade gear, I feel like the fvai chasing the groundroot on a string just in front of its nose.
  • I'd like to see Vic Fontaine and his band playing a gig there. eta: I thought I posted this yesterday but it seems to have been assimilated.

  • I wonder why it would be more difficult to implement rather than the current state of affairs where non-equipped pets live in the bank. Many people have asked why not set up a special section of the Bio lab for pets, one tab for ground pets, another for space. If you want to equip a different pet, go down to the Science…
  • I don't mind being able to sell off account or character bound mats. If I never intend to run cannons on my cruiser, or thoron-infused polarons, why shouldn't I be able to get some shekels out of them? I do support not having crafting mats appear as vendor recyclables. Nothing like bopping along selling off white cannons,…
  • Cutscenes are okay if I can choose when they run. Due to the incredible intermittent lag we've been experiencing recently, sometimes action starts before the cutscene finishes. Nothing like finding you've already been engaged by the enemy and have taken damage before you can even shoot back.
  • This would show that engineers are not the red-headed stepchildren of STO, because they are deadly on ground. Minefields, explosives, turrets, generators, drones, weapon malf and fuse yer armor, with the occasional orbital devastation to shake things up. Setting things on fire is fun.
  • Do you really want to say that you support the use of disruptive devices, any where, any time, particularly when they are being used to harass people trying to pay tribute to the passing of a major figure in the Star Trek universe? The fact that people do it IRL doesn't make you less of a troll, and comparing yourself with…
  • BWAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAA! *wipes tears of laughter from eyes* My job as an engineer isn't necessarily to bring the rain. My job is to p*** the enemy off so badly that he ignores the tac coming up his tailpipe with an alpha strike, and keep that tac alive after. Remember TOS, where Kirk distracted the Doomsday Machine? I'm a…
  • I know several players running sci ships who will beat escorts over the head with their own cannons. Science ships are the 'wizards' of the Star Trek universe, the 'dirty tricks' committee who will make foes run in circles chasing their own tails. Have a couple of scis drop GW3 on a group, then let the escorts shoot the…
  • I scraped together every credit and resource I could and made 8 sets of Aegis gear before the new crafting system went live. I'm glad I did, because half of my stockpile bankrolled our fleet's T5 starbase, and I gave a couple of sets out to fleeties in need. I have releveled my crafter so she can once again make Aegis…
  • So you CAN use boffs to retrain your skills under the new system. I was under the impression that the only way to do that would be to spend dil and craft a padd with the skill you want, or buy the padd off the exchange. Yet another Cryptic hand in our wallets...
  • My Rom flies a Sarr Theln equipped with the Aegis set. It glows Tron blue.
  • Had leftover pictures from last year, so got the Sarr Theln for my primary, then used the discount to pick up the Sarr Theln for my Romulan. Very pleased with the carrier's performance for my Rom engineer, so I ran the race on her to get the raiders and get the upgraded hangar pets. Got the raider (still haven't got enough…
  • The reward for the holodeck malfunction crit should be James Moriarty.
  • Tried to run the race on several different toons. Disqual a couple of times for trying to grab the 3rd place banner sitting outside the race boundary. Lazy coding; devs didn't bother fixing the flags when they redid the shiny stuff. I'm only running it for fleet marks.
  • I can see why the frustration. It's like buying a rare coin or collectible online, only to find out once you receive it that 'mint' condition is actually more like 'near mint' or maybe 'excellent', not worth the investment. The trouble is you can usually return things you buy online; with the upgrades you get what you get,…
  • I am not a DPS monger; that is not my engineer's job. My position is to keep my teammates flying, to boost the tacs and scis, to suck aggro away from people when they are in danger of going boom, then fix them. I do not put out the biggest amount of DPS, but I can fly into the middle of a furball, put down a good amount of…
  • There are 2 of us in this house playing STO, usually at the same time. Frequently DH's connection will be stable while mine is full of rubberbanding and latency; sometimes (although less frequently) it's the opposite. Often on map transitions, I will be kicked from the game. Since we both use the same cable connection, I…
  • It took me 15 minutes to take out the artillery ship in 'Revelations' with my engineer's vanilla Oddy. I parked on his buttocks and got medieval: plasma beams and plasma torps. He couldn't get away from me, and I was healing just a little faster than he was. A couple of times I used evasive to lay down smog (warp plasma or…
  • I have played open PvP (Pirates of the Burning Sea) where incautious people could be forced into PvP involuntarily. Ganking, trolling and poor sportmanship was rife, and it eventually led to me dropping my subscription. The n00b zones frequently were turned into PvP areas, with level 50 player teams getting jollies out of…
  • Another thing I have noticed is, if you are planning to craft gear to give alts or people leveling in your fleet, your crafting gives you Mk III, V, VII, X, XI or XII gear. Remember the break points for the gear you needed at commander and/or captain level? You can't even make that.
  • I think I've posted to a thread like this before. I live in Hawaii, and have given the ships flown by my primary character Hawaiian names: Liliuokalani, Kahekili, Kamehameha I (my assault cruiser), and my current Oddy, the Fort Elizabeth (the first and only fort raised by Russians in the Hawaiian Islands). My tac officer…
  • Agreed. I have 4 purple Shield Distribution Officers from the old Rolor Nebula missions on one toon. It would be very nice to be able to send some to another toon who didn't have them, especially since I have no idea what is now available after Cryptic changed access to the old exploration cluster missions. I doubt this…
  • I have 5 alts, and have come to the conclusion that I'm only going to try to level 1 or 2 of them in crafting. All the rest will be providing their rares and ultrarares to feed the monster once my crafter gets to a point where she can begin making things that aren't wood chipper fodder. I still haven't forgiven Cryptic for…
  • I just blew through half a mil of hoarded dil in an ill-considered attempt to get one character leveled in one school. Despite the 'crafting weekend' bonuses and the fact that I had been running 20 hour projects daily in this one area, I started at level 7 and just cracked level 14 after flushing most of my refined…
