I think far more drop than people realize. It used to be a problem years ago, but drops were increased. The thing is, they are "common" items , so don't trigger the " need/greed" roll. As an example , I have found that every single time I do KAGE, there is a Crit ground repair in the last room. Keep in mind, if you repair…

1 - repair minor and major injuries immediately they happen ( while waiting to respawn ). Repairing the minors prevents getting Crit injuries. Keep 1 stack of minors in your inventory, and all the others in your bank. Activating a minor will call up a major or Crit from your bank if needed. 2 - gather up the TRIBBLE loot…

Don't use the Department Head recommended Doffs. ( Idiots always suggest purples ) There is no guarantee ( as far as I know ) of quality in reward. I use the missions when I run into them, to cull green Doffs with the needed success traits. You know you'll need to get rid of the greens eventually anyway. I have sent a…

If you have ( or plan to have ) multiple alts, buy the C-Store MVAE. This is an account wide unlock. Each Alt that claims the C-Store version will be able to take advantage of the discount on Fleet Advanced Escort, 1 Fleet module needed as opposed to 4.

PUGS could actually be considered "canon" STO material. How many times have we seen ST episodes turn from the routine, to OMG-WTF-DISASTER. How many times have we seen the new ensign Redshirt get vaporized ... Look at it as your own personal opportunity to play a decisive role in this encounter .. Look at it as a training…

I just came out of a run with players from this channel. Colony was a speed run.. I had to MOVE to get a target.. run was smooth. Incursion resulted in 33 sabs in 1st part, and I never saw another player shooting turrets in my corner. Incursion end Boss had over 1/2 the timer left when we opened fire on him. Fleet Alert…

Similar problems, started yesterday. Lag, rubberbanding, "Server Not Responding" leading to eventually getting DC'd Am spending more time in " SNR Mode" than in playing the game .......

Its the best version of the Trek Universe we have. If its not ideal, at least take heart in that the Cryptic team appears to be moving forward as quickly and as best they are able. I don't see that they are shrugging off problems, only that they might not be able to fix "The Problem of the Day" right this second, or that…

Same problem here. Have tried logging in several times, get to character login screen, click "play" on my character and then a while later the " Login Failed for Unknown Reason ". Outside of some minor visual annoyances, and the Colony " You will be removed in 5 seconds " issue , I was surprised and pleased at how smoothly…

- Ground team information is covered up by "wrap-around" buff icons. - Klingon player names are showing as blue in a Klingon Classic HUD . - no option to have different HUD colouring for different characters, or even faction. - constant beaming in/out of Colony Fleet mission, similar to Tau Dawa Tholian Alert. - Character…

hmmm.. are we seeing the emergence of the PWE "50 cent gang" today ?
-
The Game is no longer being produced for the Star Trek fan, and to add to your question , yeah Why ARE we playing ? The constant grind, nerfing, re-valuation. ?
-
I believe you are correct. For me, ( and likely for others ) this isn't something to be forgotten. This is not a "mistake", or a "one-off" situation. What has happened with the Foundry missions underlines how Cryptic regards the players, from a customer service standpoint. I won't rehash what many excellent posts have…

IMO 1 - Getting optional in ESTF pugs is relatively easy, provided players work as a team on well documented "default" plans, and react as opportunities present themselves. 2 - Grinding STF's for Dil & Omega Marks is definitely all about " more & faster " 3 - Most pugs are successful at optional, I'd estimate 90% minimum.…

Interesting idea, would definitely make things different. The current range limit of 10 km is only part of the situation. DHC's experience a dropoff in DPS after 2 km from target, and beams from 4km 10 km is not just the maximum targetable range, but also the point at which you may as well be shooting blanks. If you get an…

Its not truly random. The game picks a Starbase from one of the 5 queued players. If you join a queue alone, there is a 20% chance the StarBase being defended is yours. On the other hand, if you join a queue with 4 of your Fleet members, there is a 100% chance the StarBase being defended belongs to your Fleet. Cryptic set…

Position each of your BOffs on one of the corner circular stands. Try to get them standing directly on them, centred . there should be a column of light that appears around each one, as they take position. Position yourself on the centre dais, facing towards the back of the ruin . ( facing the back isn't really important,…

Have spent over 8 minutes in an ISE public queue right now. ( still in it ) ISE , the single easiest way to get Omega Marks.. can't fail, and can get optional with a short team.. and still waiting .. EliteSTF has had 1 team request, in the last 1/2 hour .. Yes, definitely business as usual.. sorry, but chasing Epohh, and…

Spending about the same amount of time in-game, but seriously starting to look at it as a waste of time. Am advancing 1 main, and 4 alts through the OMEGA and ROM systems, but unless the ability to earn Dilithium improves, doubt that they will be getting any sets. Contributions to a StarBase are at a dead stop. Any…

Absolutely perfect.. That should be the theme song for Sn 7 ..

In addition to this, you may need to ensure that your power tray is minimized to 1 line as opposed to 2 or 3. My fix wouldn't work until I did that.
-
I don't think that Cryptic has much interest in policing this, or resolving any griefing complaints. ( although I wish they would ) The most obvious solution for players is to avoid the queues, and team only with friends and Fleet. Building stronger and larger Fleets would be in Cryptics self-interest, the social aspects…

And what should be done, then, with a game that "devolves" into a financial vampire ?
-
I am puzzled as to why people are assuming there will be a Dil shortage on the Exchange. It seems obvious that Cryptic will be replacing players as the main supplier of Dil ( if they weren't already the main source ) Think about it for a minute.....

My main character conversion : EDC - 2067 Rare Salvage - 128 Proto Salvage - 218 Rare Tech - 53 Proto Tech - 27 Result is 9000 Omega Marks, 15 BNP, 64,000 Dilithium. I was going to rush into DS9, and convert it all to Dilithium, but then realized that might only make sense if I plan on continuing in this game. I have a…

Since there has been no change to it on Tribble, even though it was commented on by others from the first day, I would guess that it is a deliberate frustration designed to increase private teaming / Fleet grouping. On Holo, a comparable frustration exists with the PUG AFK / Griefing issue. Increased teaming and planned…
