If we want an abilities revamp, we are going to have to find a way to force grinding dil into it if there is going to be any hope of cryptic doing it. the only reason doffs and crafting are getting "fixed" is to add another dil sink. its a miracle, the good faith the star trek community has, has extended this far. I feel…
Lets face it, all the powers have needed a good rework for awhile. That doesnt mean they would all need to be changed, but there is a lot of boring, under powered, niche, or plain useless skills that could be made into dynamic, fun and effective abilities. Lets take jam sensors. Almost nobody uses this right? What if we…
adding the xindi so you can desperately claw at their sphere builder lore is pretty lame. you JUST added the voth. how about telling the story through a ten man raid instead of episodes
In order to stay relevant, you need to innovate. STO struggles to release relevant content that is the same as the cookie cutter missions it had on release. they have a better shine now, but its still mostly the same. if they can't deli ever on a basic level, eventually even the goodwill of the star trek community will run…
as time goes on, from stf's you will gradually build up a huge inventory of consoles. However you can mine dilithium and buy the 26% consoles from the dil store, or use it to craft those consoles if you can't wait. Run elite stf's , use the powered strange alien artifact, or starbase defenses if you want to focus on…
There isnt much like solo grinding content you would get for instance in say world of war craft. you don't need an escort to kill ten dragons and get dil. Most of your dil will be from mining, or flying group task forces, which can use all roles in them. In fact its possible to basically never leave earth star dock at the…
tsk tsk, sticking her in an escort so she isnt useless? For shame, why role science if you are going to do that? Straight sci toons arent useless at all. For groups without god tier dps they can be incredibly helpful, healing, debuffing, etc. I own a vesta and i have no regrets. A sci ship with decent tac consoles and a…
Oh its not as rare as you think, I've had fleets milk me for thousands and thousands of resources and kick me when I asked for permission to buy a ship.
Right now their business strategies revolve around milking fleets for cash through dilithium requirements. They would need to try a new strategy. I agree, I don't like fleets at all the drama is worse then most other MMO's and I don't have the time for their TRIBBLE to be blunt. They need to offer more reasonable…
Part of the problem is not only is the proc too rare, it suffers diminishing returns if I am not mistaken. Crit bonus from fleet antiprotons, does not. Phases will never be as effective because their bonus does not effect dps. You could always change the andorian phasers or offer a different phaser with a dps proc, for…
There need to be more alternatives to getting gear, to the fleet and rep grind. Give some rare drops for instance runs for gods sake, it could really make the difference and shorten wait ques. It literally helps everyone and there is no downside. I can only play maybe 2 hours a day if I am extremely lucky, I cant…
Hate to say it, but OP is right. Adding blood elves did cause a surge in Horde player base on all servers. Adding a pretty race, and a bunch of pretty new ships would help a long way. They would need to do a total revamp, an expansion based entirely on the KDF. New buildings, new starbases, new ships, new races. That could…
Valid Points. Do the KDF and Romulans deserve more ships? Yes. Does this affect the need for a federation carrier? No. I would be happy with a single one, honestly. Lobi ships, do not count obviously I know they are available to everyone. So that leaves the atrox....so one carrier? Come on, if you guys had ONE carrier, you…
Science ships and cruisers lack strength, synergy and a guiding principle. look at the warlock from world of ******** for example. this character is a dotter. all of his skills are based around the principle of throwing dots and disabling a character so dots can do their work. professions and ships in this game lack that…
Well i mostly just want some people to chat with while i play and run stfs on occaision. as long as everyones laid back and relaxed, thats really all i care about. Well a nice starbase is a bonus. :D:D
