1st Gulf War vet here. I'd like an Invite for 4 chars please. All are level 65. Ingame handle @thunderfoot1007. Rafe - Fed Engineer Tharil - Fed Science T'Cael - Rom/KDF Engineer Ixmo'ikan -JH/KDF Tactical Thanks for your time and attention.
Only pieces of advice I ever give about what ship to use are these: - The only mandatory piece of gear any ship requires is a player willing to make mistakes while learning how to use it better. - Use the ship which looks like it will be the most fun to fly. - There is no, "One Ring to rule them all" ship or piece of gear…
I have this issue occasionally. Here is the work around I use. I don't try to save a build at the shipyard. Using the save function at a shipyard does not save Traits or BOff abilities. I beam up to the ship. Next, I check/reload any BOff abilities, Traits, and DOffs to the ship. Once I am satisfied with the build, I save…
Haven't posted anything here in a very long time. Didn't see any good reason to. Logged in and this thread caught my attention. There's only one ship I've considered. Ferengi Quark Marauder (T6). For my Jem'Hadar Tac. I have most of the Ferengi-specific gear for the ship. The Ferenginar Plasma weapons I own are Mk XV Epic.…
I this issue as. Purchased the Exeter years ago. Reclaimed it because I wanted to see the improvements. Neither the mesh or the skin showed up in the Ship Tailor. I beamed back aboard while having the Exeter selected. I had a loadout but again no visible ship in orbit.
"DOOM!" threads and comments in these forums are outrageously funny to me. I heehaw like a donkey at some of them. To quote James T., "People can be very frightened of change.". Kinda makes you wonder what the doomsayers do when they discover the Circle K is out of Cheetos and Diet Dew. XD
This is something which has occurred to me. I get the 'Map Transfer Failed' error message until I warp out or beam to my ship. Sometimes it takes the game a bit to place me into the Event TFO. Frustrating for others already playing the Event and myself. I've seen no pattern to the error and I've no idea what causes it.
Amused to see this thread still going. More amused by all the, "One Ring to Bind Them All", suggestions. Like vote/kick. Or gear/DPS check. I have a suggestion, too. Ready? Here goes. Once someone successfully completes any TFO on Elite, they should be blocked from doing TFOs on either Normal or Advanced ever again. Since…
@"phoenixc#0738" Me stating incorrectly it is a LockBox ship is irrelevant to its being in the game. Calling it an active bastion tank and claiming people are using it wrong does not change the fact it is possible to turn on the bubble, go do something else and then come back to collect the TFO rewards. The ship's…
I enjoy the episodes where I play as someone else. QL7 was hilarious the first time I played it. I spent more time laughing and reading the narratives than I did playing. The primary difference I've noticed is the lack of gear the alternative characters carry and use. Which is to be expected. Due to the dev team being…
I have a notepad beside my computer. Which has numerous things written down which I cannot recall immediately. It is nearly full. All of the pages are worn and covered in coffee stains. Learned a long time ago searching through all of my chars to find that one Console I want to place on my newest ship is slower than…
Been following this with some amusement. Which comes from the thought there are members of this player base whom are skilled enough and experienced enough they spend all their ingame time spoiling the game for everyone else. Why do people assume when things do not go exactly as they imagine, some other group of players…
Not a Prodigy fan. I'm not the target audience for it. But giving the players who are Prodigy fans their versions of characters is a good idea which I strongly support.
Why is it as a Captain, my officers can recommend DOffs for missions yet as an Admiral my staff remains silent on which ships to deploy? Are the Devs incapable of copy/pasting all of the Duty Officer system features over to the Admiralty? Or, as is much more likely, they're using the current badly inadequate and half done…
The Advanced Engineering Consoles will slot with Tactical Consoles from the Colony or from the Discovery Reputation. I've not found any limitation on any of the Reputation Consoles, either.
A bundle commemorating the ships which fought at Wolf 359 is a wonderful idea! And here's hoping Cryptic releases this in two versions as well. A full on version which has all the ships. As well as a "Lite" version which has the ships which I do not already have access to.
If online games banned people for going AFK, soon no one at all would be playing online games. I really enjoy playing STO. But, when Real Life intercedes, and it has done so plenty of times over the past twelve years, I'm out. Someone ran over my dog in front of my house. $600.00 in vet bills and a week later I got him…
Read all the entries in this thread. Some of them are really good suggestions. Some are even better ideas. None of them will ever be looked at. Let alone implemented. Unless... Cryptic or Gearrbox or the Embracer Group figure out a way to monetize them.
@jonsills There is nothing in my post about. "DOOOM!" Nowhere does it say the game will end without Cryptic immediately acting on my suggestion. Language is a precision tool and ought to be used as such. As to, ahem, "A joke... is a story with a humorous climax.". Two things: 1) Hyperbole is a legitimate form of humor.…
Selling Starship Mastery traits directly to players means everyone will buy the same five or six, or recommend using the same five or six, or insult anyone not using the same five or six. What happens after everyone buys these same five or six?
My post was intended to be humorous. There is so little fun, joy, or laughter around here anymore. This is one of the reasons I seldom visit this place except when I am looking for something specific about a build. Too many around here simply lie camoflaged and wait for the next herd of newbies to come by. Then they lash…
The Reputation System is a horse ridden into the ground by Cryptic. We need no more Reputations. The Reputations we have now do not need to be revamped. The things the OP is asking for are not interesting. The things the OP is asking for would require far more man hours than Cryptic currently has available. This second…
AI-generated content? No, thank you. Current AI applications are expert copy/paste applications. They are not sentient. Except in some people's wishful thinking. Which means they cannot create something new deliberately. They might create something "new". Out of randomly placing together words. But it will be derivative…
Somebody posted earlier about improving ground mechanics. Second that. I'd like to see a complete revamp of the Player vs. Player part of the game. Something which would not be an afterthought like what we have now. Something which has better maps. Something where skill and experience matter more than money... ...what am I…
One more piece of kit to clutter up my Reclaim window. yippee. hooray. One more piece of kit for the Devs to claim is overpowered and then nerf into uselessness. Just like the previous Maelstrom Torpedo. I bought the Bundle these came in because I really like both ships and the fluff on the torps sounded kinda cool. So I…
Q'sWW is something I always enjoy. Due to the silliness of it. Yeah, it's a little long in the tooth. However this doesn't detract from the fun I have visiting Q's aberrant version of a winter holiday. The Event Ship looks interesting. I'll see y'all the Pie Eating Contest or luring the Koskari out to pepper it with…
I see you only included the parts of my post you wanted to. The OP wants some sort of compensation for NOT getting something he/she wanted from opening Phoenix prize packs or Lockboxes. Why? Whenever I make the choice to spend on items such as Prize packs or Lockboxes, it is a choice on my part. I do not expect some sort…
