That is an awesome idea. I actually could do that, but never thought of it. Thank you for your suggestion! I didn't realize you can do 2 instances on one machine. I was going to use a second computer, but this would be easier.
Thanks everyone for their input. One of the things I really like about STO is that it seems to be fairly good at meeting people's play style. It would be very sad if everyone went to get the same ship. To be honest, one of the factors that led me to the Scimitar was the movie tie-in. I realize that some may find that a bit…
Thanks everyone for their input! After some consideration and swayed by the discount on zen and ships, I went with the Scimitar 3-pack for my Romulans and sticking with my Vet ship for the Klingons. I forgot about the Helmsman trait. Actually, I had received one when I first started playing and unlocked some boxes, but…
Thanks everyone! I admit the Scimitar looks cool - with a base turn rate of 7 I'm tempted. I have the Odyssey and its turn rate of 6 was way too sluggish. I've made some really wide turns that made me feel like I was in orbit rather than in a fight. I just got the Excelsior (8 turn rate) and with 2 RCS Consoles it's not…
Thanks for the info! I really like the maneuverability and the look of the Excelsior. Even though I do have an Avenger, I still am thinking of getting it. :)
Sorry - crazy weekend at work and so I couldn't not respond until now. I can confirm that the Saurian had Efficient trait and that I was in the Earth Sol system, next to space dock. I had 15/15 aux and 15/15 engine power levels, so I'm pretty sure I qualify to have it move at least +1 tick. I was able to level up a little…
Thank you everyone for the good information. I do plan on getting the subscription to gain the extra BOffs, account bank, etc and then use the 500 gold at the end of it to purchase the EC cap. I thought that was the best deal for him.
Oh yah. I meant that after 1 month you get the 500 zen stipend and I was going to have him put that towards the energy credit cap increase so he can keep the cap after it's cancelled. :) Sorry - long days at work = inexact typing/thoughts
Thanks for the quick reply! The only thing I am interested in getting him is (mostly) the 500 stipend so that he can buy the increased energy credit cap. I'm just hoping that he will get that with the one month sub.
Wow! So much good information. I had to read the replies a couple of times since I didn't immediately know what rep gear is vs aegis gear, but I understand where people were going with it. (ie, I'm still a newb) I guess my desire to be a crafter is just a simple one - wanted to be able to make stuff. :) I also just joined…
Hello again, I finally made it to level 50! I celebrated by buying the Oddy pack and the two escorts that had the point defense console and quad phasers. Thank you everyone for your help! A friend of mine, whom I had also trapped with this game, made it to level 50 and he's thinking of starting an alt. During the course of…
Thanks everyone! That cleared it up for me. A follow up again about something deianirrah said: Did you mean if a purchased C-Store ship has a particular console I can claim it, remove the console to my inventory, dismiss the ship, then reclaim the ship again and end up with the ship and two copies of the console? (Thus…
Thanks for the well wishes and welcomes! Still having a blast with the game and getting less confused as time goes on. Went with the lifetime subscription since i see myself putting in quite a bit of time. See you in game!
