  • Good to know I can use the t4 until t6 unlocks for me. Ships are pricey!
  • Great thanks for that info protoneous.
  • At the risk of sounding thick..... Is the only way to progress now to buy with zen a T5 ship? T6 will be fine, great advice here, especially ships that can be fitted to use beams or cannons etc , but got to get there first. edit: meant to include apart from joining a fleet and having enough fleet marks or using the exchange
  • > @protoneous Thanks for the detailed reply, this helps a lot. I will research the ships a bit more before buying zen which I dont mind as had great fun getting to 50 slowly for free at my own pace. I like the idea of eventually getting the t6 arbiter that Sea of sorrows mentioned, the flexibility sounds good. Any t5 ships…
  • Just hit lvl50. Noticed no freebie ship upgrade. Dos this mean to get a t5 ship I need to buy zen? Only got around 38k dilithium so that isnt an option either. Is this how game is suppsed to work? As an aside, I should get the t6 vulcan scout as almost finished the Q missions......by skin of my teeth if 22nd is final day.
  • > @markhawkman said: > So what control setup are you using on ground? Also, are you on console or PC? PC and WASD & mouse.
  • Good to know that t6 has similar ships. Thanks. I will have a look at the arbiter mentioned too.
  • I'll say it again. Thanks to everyone for your advice here and I do appreciate it. I also don't feel that anyone has talked down to me. If anyone thinks that you should look at other MMO forums! WoW I'm looking at you. For me I am taking great pleasure in learning the game and a good community here is a bonus. Having…
  • I have to admit, that although the ground missions are clunky, the storylines are generally very good and fun. Just near the end of completing Eposode 2 and the Reman story has a lot of ground missions and long ones at that, but they have been fun due to the storyline.
  • Ground combat hasn't been a problem so far. Skills set for crits & healing. I just go in pew pew and all done, boring really and space is where it is at. Always thought that Cryptic should have left out the ground missions as it is pretty naf, especially when you compare how clunky it is compared to almost every other MMO,…
  • Once again, thank you to all of you that have offered advice - the game is fantastic for me now and I am still slowly figuring out what is what, but enjoying the ride. I bought the game on release and left after the first month sub ran out......played WoW for a long time and various other MMO releases. However now STO is…
  • I didnt realise that the Ker'rat mission was in a pvp zone... No idea how I picked that up but plenty to do so will drop it. Not joining a fleet for now. Thanks for build suggestion will take a look tonight.
  • Thanks again folks for the advice. Swapped out my beams for the cannons I had picked up - changed out skills etc and re-trained skills to suit. Went back to the romulan ship blocking the planet and melted it in 3 secs :) Tried the war zone with the borg - better but not there yet. I think the points about needing to be in…
  • Thanks for the feedback so far, and Jeff thanks for the invite and website link - some good stuff there :) 1. Build - from what I have read beams seem to be always suggested for escorts/tac. Am I better ignoring that and going with the cannons then? Or is that mainly for a Tac captain in a cruiser? (the beam set up) 2.…
  • Realised I am thick. I already have the tier 2 ship - didn't remember that you start out in the tutorials in light cruiser. Sorry been several years since I played.
  • Federation and I think I did all the tutorials, but maybe I didn't....will check. If that is a requirement then it may be that. Thanks for suggestion.
  • Returned also after only ever playing first free month on release. Managed to do the 2 discovery missions at lvl14 (was 16 by end) in my starter tactical ship so no idea why you are struggling ? Check your gear and upgrade to better versions this worked for me.
