I didn't want to create a whole thread or anything for this, and had remembered reading this one last month. I just want to pass on that I really like the updated consoles. I am not currently of any help for identifying ones that are rendered incorrectly or stretched wrong, but I have definitely noticed how much nicer it…

That's a terrible interpretation. Ideally, we'd earn rep directly for the things we do for marks, such as Tau Dewa Patrol for New Romulus or a Borg STF for Omega, instead of having to do two separate actions.
-
The rep grind is still awful. Throwing us a bone with the ability to toss alts a booster doesn't fix the fact that we all still have to play the game in order to collect one type of currency that must be paired with other types of currency in order to sit around and wait on a timer every day. Rep should be tied to gameplay…
-
As a kind of NPC Boss Battle / fleet action, that could be fun. As a ship for players? lol no.
-
hahahaha That's terrific.
-
I agree. When Blizzard added levels to guilds, progression was achieved for playing the game normally. Leveling an alt in the guild? A portion of your experience contributes to the guild's progression! Running dungeons or raids in guild groups (3+/5 for dungeons, 8+/10 for 10-man groups, etc.)? The guild gets credit!…

The AI is pretty stupid, so of course a situational skill is a bad choice to have on them. Do as suggested and train it out of them. It's a terrific skill to have as a player, though.
-
With some of my cruisers, I like to swap power settings during combat to heal teammates and/or myself. Why toss out a weak heal when I can make it much stronger? I've kind of always assumed players who don't are really doing it wrong. Why have multiple settings if you don't use them? Batteries and other devices also work…
-
But the fireworks are both amusing/neat and have a very short activation time without affecting cooldowns. The ground-based party poppers go one for a couple seconds wherein you could be doing something else. Perhaps I should use mine more often in STFs.
-
I could easily see New Romulus being updated more, Romulans and Remans being an option in the character creator (either as an addition we all get or, much more likely, as new race unlocks in the Z-store), and a Death Knight or Pandaran-like process of leveling a bit to get some background and story relative to New Romulus…
-
I did it once per character for the party popper, mostly 'cause it's a one-time reward. However, unlike the free ships that will likely just sit in my banks, I am sure I will find time to enjoy leaving balloons everywhere. As to the mission itself, it was boring immediately after the first time on the first character.…
-
That's not really all that impressive, considering an escort could do the same job with CSV and evasive just to be safe, and a cruiser, or at least one that knows what it's doing, should also be able to do it with good use of weapon-boosting skills and whatever CC is preferred. What I am saying is that probes are very…
-
It happens to me with these enemies only, and only if I have one that is using the cloak targeted. If I am targeting something else or nothing, the cloak effect is fine. But if I am trying to shoot them or select them, my FPS dips down until they uncloak or die or I change targets.
-
I am unable to find your mission in the foundry. Searching on your handle or the mission name yields no results. I did not see it in a scan through [most of] the available missions list. Perhaps it is not actually "published" or whatever and that's why there are no plays?
-
They all "kind of" work when moving, in my experience, now. The previous ones only offer a brief burst of whichever effect before cutting off, so that's definitely been cut down. The new one will fire out many balloons of whichever type when standing still but only bursts out one when moving. In any case, they're…
-
I am greatly amused at how, with party poppers already annoying some people, this year's party popper leaves behind persistent objects. Now we can spray tribbles all over the ground and clutter balloons all over the ceiling! Happy third year anniversary, STO!
-
The mission itself is pretty terrific. It's neat how the various NPCs we've run across throughout the game are included alongside the plot-central characters. Thanks, Cryptic, for this effort!
-
Just a note, once you get a ground set and have the instant remod, the full-auto firing weapons are far more viable. But tac kits make better use of them, with the ability to apply debuffs with each shot or to boost damage. In any case, for Borg STFs the shotgun and sniper combo are usually the best. And taking two…
-
While there's been sufficient evidence to support the D'kora as capable in battle, there's nothing in any canon material to suggest Ferengi are much of a threat on the ground. Heck, they went from seeming to be vicious in their first appearance, energy whips in hand and distaste for humans clear, to bumbling, money-focused…
-
This is what I expect, and this is when I expect I will walk away from the game.
-
It will be interesting to see what its layout will in fact become. I have never liked the Enterprise-C's design, so I am hoping, if it's VA level, the officer layout isn't to my liking. But I also won't be surprised if a "better" version pops up in the store. Klingson side it's like the love-child / missing link between a…
-
well I had already read good reviews of this mission, but that trailer was well put together and gave me all the more reason to jump into it right now! e: These are some good set designs / environments! I like the story, too. Pretty enjoyable walking through the deserted city and then through the wrecked starship and…
-
Why does BranFlakes not make his own posts and insist on editing others'?
-
Spectres was terrific, by the way. Thank you for not making hallways large enough to drive a boat through and for faithfully recreating the feel of the TOS-era ship interiors. The tie-ins to the episode were a blast. edit: I had just played it last night, and I found myself in this forum section tonight. I'm not trying to…
-
These are kind of bad, tbh. Why re-create the wheel? Are the pads in-game not available to foundry authors? Are there no textures for the TOS and TNG federation pads?
-
I, for one, will be preparing for when my teammates toss extra threat on to me with their AP:D boffs. Anyone who doesn't assume it will happen is being naive. Defensive Triage and Perfect Shielding sound terrific.
-
Ah, bummer. I thought they did more than just that one slash. I guess I shoot them too quickly? In any case, thanks for filling me in.
-
huh What Dominion ship was coming out in May 2012? Hello! Having the D'deridex skin on a cruiser or whatever, even if it does perform like existing KDF cruisers, would be fine with me. I've always preferred Romulan designs. Of course, my KDF are in BoPs and carriers mostly, so hmm. I guess I would be more interested in one…
-
So the NPC Jem'Hadar soldier animations cannot be used on player characters? Granted, I haven't paid attention to see if they had more than one or two swings/attacks, but is it really different? A whip got added, and that's more of a departure from anything else melee in the game, I would assume. Or am I mistaken and they…
-
Also, someone who wanted the Assimilated achievement in a run I was in the other night found out that it won't count if the device is already set to blow. None of us knew she needed it/wanted it, so we didn't wait. She still died inside it all the same like always, and managed to do it before it blew, but did not get the…
