I have the Kelvin Timeline Connie running 6 KT phasers and 2 KT torps (1 fwd/1 aft), the full Iconian set, a couple of lobi consoles, and the consoles from the Kelvin Connie and the Vengeance for the set bonus to phaser and photon torp damage. I'm pretty happy with mine and I don't think you could go wrong with it. I also…
They completely ruined the stealth module as far as I'm concerned. It may have been limited in functionality, but it did one thing really, really well (i.e. hide you and enable you to sneak around undetected until you deactivated it). I enjoyed it and found it very useful at times. Now I have even less reason to even…
I've experienced this several times too. It sucked, but hey, what can I really do? Just try again later, I guess. I haven't been getting too much lag lately (knock on wood), but the main thing that's been so discouraging for me about the game lately is getting randomly disconnected. Usually it happens whenever I'm trying…
I hear you about SWTOR; I've been playing it off and on for about 5 years, but not very consistently. Every time I play it I end up getting burnt out on it pretty quickly as I remember why I quit playing it before.
Now, is that unlock for Mk 13 UP rep gear an account-wide unlock? I already got it for my temporal character but I'd like to know if I can now claim it on my alts as well.
^ Agreed; on those rare occasions when I go into my bridge/ship interior, it's a little disconcerting to see several of my boffs sitting suspended in mid-air about a meter above the seat, or on the floor in front of it. lol
I get what you're saying, OP, but not only do I find it highly unlikely that the devs would ever implement this, even if you're trying to go for the full-on in-universe immersion experience, I'm not sure it would even happen with the Trek universe anyway. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the bridge had to be…
I really enjoyed the whole Romulan story arc (i.e. the Romulan-specific missions), from Virinat to the final showdown with Hakeev. It was satisfying to finally take him out. Just wish I could've ended Sela, because she was getting so annoying. Can't have everything, I guess. lol
Hats. Seriously. The "NX-01" ball cap from ENT, the grey hats worn with the dress greys in the Kelvin Timeline, etc. I know we've already got a few options for headgear in the tailor, but I'd like to see more.
I have a KT Connie as my main ship and I've been very satisfied with it. Very tanky with my 4-piece Iconian space set on it and some lobi and fleet gear. Versatile and flexible boff & console slots too. I highly recommend it.
I have the KT Connie and I freaking love that thing; it's my main ship now. It was a bit expensive on the exchange, but I consider it well worth it and I have no complaints and no regrets about it. I have the Vengeance too, and it's my other favorite but I find myself gravitating more toward the KT Connie as my main…
Oh, hell yes. The good old Connie-refit from TMP is one of those iconic designs that has withstood the test of time. Not bad for a ship that was designed in the '70s (around 1977, I think, for the "Phase 2" series that was canceled, and then they used it for TMP in '79). I think if it came out even now, it wouldn't look…
(shrug) Well... all I can say to this is, thank you for supporting the game. I know it's been said already, but I think it bears repeating: Please, never open a bunch of boxes expecting to win the ship. It's a recipe for disappointment, and it can get quite costly. I recommend only opening boxes for lobi or maybe some…
@wendysue53: If I'm remembering correctly, as far as cloakable Fed ships go, the Defiant, the Avenger/Arbiter (battlecruiser), the Galaxy-X, the Hestia (newer version of the Prometheus), Fed intel ships, and the Vengeance can all cloak, either with a separate cloaking device console or built into the ship itself (depending…
My favorite ship is the Kelvin Timeline Connie and yes, I use it every time I play. My other favorite is the Vengeance, which I also use frequently, but the KT Connie tends to be my main go-to ship. My third favorite is my T6 fleet Arbiter (battlecruiser), not for its looks (I actually find it pretty ugly), but for its…
The first thing I can think of that I'd remove is having that temporal agent (Phil Crey, I think) keep popping in on my screen just to tell me that the timeline is secure and that he'll let me know if anything changes. I don't need to see that every single time I log in. I'm like, "That's nice, Phil, but how 'bout you…
Congratulations! I still have my old T1 Connie and I'm still happy with it but I'd love to have a T6 Connie. I didn't get one from the last promo event but I'll give it another try with this one. Who knows, maybe I'll luck out and get it this time.
@gavinruneblade: Agreed 100%. I named one of my ships the USS Komarov a long time ago. And another the USS Tereshkova (she was the first woman in space). I've also got a USS Armstrong and USS Aldrin. Oh, and my Excelsior-class the USS Onizuka (he was one of the astronauts who lost their lives in the space shuttle…
Pouring some out for John Glenn, one of the baddest mofos who ever lived. I salute him. RIP And on that note, I love the idea of creating a separate memorial for all the astronauts, cosmonauts, and taikonauts who have made "the final jump" to the great beyond. Make it so. I've named my pilot ship the USS Glenn, which…
My take on it was always that when the Federation was formed, the member worlds' local planetary fleets (Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite), remained as local planetary/system defense forces, keeping their own unique designs, but they all contributed resources, personnel, technical know-how and parts, and influenced Starfleet…
I like the idea of letting us have our Starfleet rank be independent of our level as we level up. Whether that'll ever actually happen remains to be seen (probably highly unlikely, but then I once said that about Kelvin Timeline ships and a T6 TOS Connie too, so we'll see). I say just wear captain pips or stripes or…
It's a gaming forum. I mean, what can you expect, really? I say, just ignore the moaning. It's been around since time immemorial and it's highly unlikely to ever go away, on this forum or any other, and we can't do much else about it, so I say just pay it no attention. I'm nothing but happy with this Phoenix event as I was…
@captainoblivous: In Battlestar Galactica Online, I remember (when I used to play that game) you could use a Battlestar for a limited time. It was the Pegasus, not the Galactica, but still a Battlestar nonetheless.
Well, I for one am pretty happy with this Phoenix box event, because I can get some stuff I couldn't get before when I wasn't playing. I only wish it were on for more than just one week, but I'm still happy they even brought these items back at all. So I'm totally fine with this.
