For the record, the Breen ship didn't have a custom bridge until late last year, when they trotted out the breen raider.

>Cynicism >Talking out the butt about game design issues they know nothing about >Attributing everything they don't like to "laziness" >Demanding special treatment on reps when the 2nd best weapon type in the game was the first thing introduced to the new paradigm You have some valid points, but christ in heaven, check…

My goodness, we should really break out the cheese to go with all this whine. Tholian Ships, Jem'Hadar Ships, Elachi Ships, Solanae Ships. Hirogen ships. Temporal ships. The Odyssey. Even Romulan Ships, Klingon Ships, Patrol Escorts, and the Gal-X. "Cryptic has crossed the line"? There was never any line to begin with. If…

He got the numbers from the same place people who say "How can there be global warming, it's cold outside right now" get their numbers :cool:

Changes Are Op, Plz Nerf

Agreed, though it's worth pointing out that the Mogh is slightly less of a revelation to KDF players than the Avenger is to Feds simply because the Tor'kaht exists. This is a good thing.

I've noted that getting top rank in an elite queued mission (the ones that keep score anyway) guarantees it'll be purple, but doesn't guarantee that it'll be Mk XII. I have grabbed Mk XII's more consistently when playing in Elite. By comparison playing, say, Mirror Invasion on normal almost never got me better than a…

Does it have to be an alternate Avenger? The new orleans doesn't look like a battle cruiser in my book, and the other guy just said it seemed to be a science ship with slightly beefed up tactical capabilities. It's a nebula with better guns, not a 5/3 warhound like the Avenger. Why not just ask for the New Orleans to be…

Don't you dare speak for me. I get a bit pissy when a stranger makes statements on my behalf. Wouldn't you? We get enough of that from politicians. Do you want to be a politician? I didn't think so. I love my Avenger. She looks like a battle-ready, aggressive, rough-and-tumble brawler that dives into a furball and stands…

Skimmed the thread here, so my arguments may have been addressed and debunked but I just want to post my experience using Protonic Polarons. I love them, but there ARE some caveats that may or may not put them "below" certain other weapons. BUT, if you spec AROUND them, using the ships and equips built with THEM in mind,…

That sort of already exists, in the form of the Dyson Science Destroyer. I propose a third ship be added, basically the Warship Voyager, inspired by the current Dyson Sci Destroyer: Weapons: 4 fore, 3 aft, but the 4th weapon slot is taken up by a fused weapon, "The Photonic Cannon", a heavy single cannon that does proton…

It would probably help if you could explain why, especially considering there are at least some players in this thread that say mark/dil income from this zone is as fast or even faster than in the Voth ground zone. For my part, I like the zone, but the undine ships seem a little bit too durable for my taste. I'm not saying…

I'd prefer the quick way because from all evidence the right way isn't going to happen. Assuming it really is as simple as I think it is (admittedly I may be falling into the trap of "armchair development" here), this might be the only way to get any kind of solution into the pipeline. Honestly, this is such a minor issue…
-
Were you in sector space, near the planet? Were you stuck in the "parking lot", which can push you out of interaction range if it's too crowded? Did you try dropping the mission and taking it again? Logging in and then logging out? Switching characters?

Don't look a gift lobi in the mouth. Someone has to be buying all the lobi ships you see in the exchange :rolleyes:
-
Though my point is it's harder than simply going through a text file or excel spreadsheet or whatever and pressing Ctrl+H: Find "<PlayerRank>, Replace With: Captain. Like I've been saying, my solution requires absolutely nothing "new" be added to the game. "New" takes time, effort, and meetings. "Tweaks" require less of…
-
We're not sure it would be easier, because again, it would require changing the reference of the "Player Rank" tag to call the title, and we don't know if the dialog is built to do that in the current scripting (though I think the job would be simple enough). Recall that there is not a single instance anywhere in the game…
-
Unless you are extremely stubborn about having an "Assault Cruiser", no substitutes accepted - that's VERY stubborn and I would go so far as to call it almost unreasonable - all versions of the Assault Cruiser Refit can use every single skin of the Assault Cruiser. This includes the Noble, Majestic, Sovereign, Regent, and…

The Ferengi Vendor in ESD is only there to exchange certain consoles that were to be removed from the game for various reasons. Standard Tactical consoles have a lot of use, and if you're referring to the Spire consoles as superior, they certainly are but not everyone can acquire them or is willing to spend the resources…
-
The problem is, as I have stated repeatedly, is that all these changes (which have been proposed before by other players annoyed by the admiral problem), would require work. Work on an admittedly small problem in a very low-priority segment of the game (it's been demonstrated that accomodating role-players is a low…
-
Actually, this "inconsistency" isn't an inconsistency at all, and it's explained by the very name of the ship. The Fleet Assault Cruiser is not actually the Fleet version of the Assault Cruiser. It's the Fleet version of the Assault Cruiser REFIT, i.e. the Regent. sto.gamepedia.com/Fleet_Assault_Cruiser_Refit The Regent…
-
Yes, it's more a workaround than a solution, but my point is that my workaround is a very simple solution that requires no changes to the way anything is displayed. It simply requires a Find-and-Replace of the "player rank" tag in whatever file contains all the dialog with the word "Captain". We can already do that very…

Do they ever get hit by that and accuse you of cheating?
-
Of course they can! It's a conspiracy to put one over on us because, as we know, all developers are lazy and this is why anything we don't like happens! Because they're lazy and can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Return to the Gold Pressed Latinum Standard! Ron Paul 2409! ;) Seriously, demanding an all-new…
-
That's also an option, but it would require actual programming work and potential changes to how titles are displayed and reacted to in the game by NPCs. Have you ever seen an NPC refer to you by your accolade/mission title in the game? I've never seen an NPC call me "Moist" or "Torpedo Target" or "MACO Commander". By…

This, pretty much, but as weak as it sounds on paper, there are some really crazy synergies you can get out of Proton damage if you build around it. Better still, it's quite cheap to do so thanks to the flood of free-ish Dyson Gear you can get just by grinding that Rep. This works best if you use the Dyson Science…

The funny thing is this is actually a buff. They haven't announced any nerfs yet to the existing traits, and now you can select traits any time to tailor to whatever task needs doing. If you wanna do ground combat for a bit, you can buff yourself for ground combat, then re-buff yourself when you get back into space.…
-
This is crazy. Only good can come out of it. Before: You had to choose between space traits and ground traits, and the choice was permanent unless you bought a token. Of course you picked space traits because ground combat is janky, so as a result you could never be at maximum potential on the ground. Now: Change it…
-
Try not to speak for me, thanks. I love comics because of those inconsistencies! Writers shouldn't be slaves to canon and need to feel free to twist established stories the way they see fit. That's why I hate the way DC loves to wipe the slate clean every few years and love the way Marvel consistently finds ways to…

Tough luck, cryptic is happy to welcome you back to the slots. Exactly. Why have them spend more than 2500z + 500z once than spend far more than 2500z as many times as it takes? You might live with tokens of 500z, but could the game? Maybe, maybe not, but that's not up to you or me to decide, it's up to them, and so far…
