I figured Grav Gen was a given. Gotta buff up that GW and all. I'd forgotten about the Ablative Generator thing. That's from the T-5 Intrepid refit, yeah? So if I were going for the Pathfinder I might as well get the Intrepid bundle (which might be a bit more than I want to spring for currently). Which reminds me, is the…
Having not really done a Science character yet, I decided to make my Delta Recruit a Fed Science officer. Having gotten to 52 already and still sitting in my level 40 ship, I've hit a minor snag: I don't know what sort of build or even ship to go for now. I think buildwise I'm wanting to go the Exotic route. The whole…
Well, this seems like a good enough thread to ask... Having not really done a Science character yet, I decided to make my Delta Recruit a Fed Science officer. Having gotten to 52 already and still sitting in my level 40 ship, I've hit a minor snag: I don't know what sort of build or even ship to go for now. I think…
Have you been Doffing? I know I accidently flushed about 100k down the toilet early on by not noticing the 50k EC cost on those Diplo missions for the weapon platforms
Yeah, I kind of figured the 3rd CritD is good but not worth killing myself to get. I didn't realize DMG was actually 'worse' than ACC (guess that means the 3x DMG that just finished cooking isn't worth keeping). And how do things like Pen and Over stack up as a possibly 3rd mod? It would figure I keep turning up those…
So, recurring question time: I've finally got my Beams school up to 15 and am in the process of trying to craft out some beams with suitable mods. I know 3x CritD is the supposed to be the hotness, but I'm running into that awful wall known as RNG. I've turned up some 2x CritD, I just don't know what is a good choice for…
It surprised me to learn that the Varon-T disruptor isn't in the game currently. Nasty weapon, seems like the kind of thing they might have put in as a mission reward somewhere, maybe Klingon side.
Been running around through the Deferra battlezone thing, building up them thar Omega Marks for rep and making the Borg stuff for my ship and I could swear I've seen people with Boffs following them (saw a Tovan Khev earlier). How does one pull that off? Is it a Klingon/Romulan thing? High enough rep, some trait or option…
Thank you both for advice, especially on the non-weapon set stuff. I hadn't put much thought or research into those yet as I'd been focused on figuring out the weaponry. I really need to work on my various Reps, I've barely gotten anywhere on most of them. Would that Solanae Deflector, Engine, Shield set from that one…
Cool, I was worried there'd be some kind of big flashing neon NO! sign of a reason not to do it. Not planning to use a Cruiser, unless I stumble on to one that speaks to me (or I feel like getting the Mastery thing on the Samsar). And if I do, I'd probably plug the 4th aft slot with something like Tractor mines or a…
Thank you, that pretty well covered what I was looking for. Still not entirely sure which route to go, but I'm starting to lean more towards Beams. I'd heard about the drop-off over distance, but hadn't seen the relative distances, and I didn't know about cannons having reduced damage against shields. If I'm going to go…
Obligatory stupid question time: I'm a Tac captain buzzing around in an Escort, using the fun mishmash of junk acquired while leveling (still 56 or so, working on getting to 60) and I'm trying to decide on what weapons to use for a 'final' loadout. I'm trying to decide between Cannons and Beams and going back and forth on…
Are you selecting the Very Hard option when Harry prompts you? I'm pretty sure that the difficulty selection is the only qualifier, as I've gotten it despite taking a plunge into the abyss during the run.
Thanks for the responses everyone. Having just decided to sub for a month, I found out the answer to my question. I did gain the Boff slots, inventory space, EC cap increase as expected. No retrain tokens though. Would have been nice but not a big deal. Guess I'll have to do the powerlevel some other characters thing at…
Related to this, are the benefits of subscribing retroactive? Like if I've been playing unsubscribed for a little bit and got to say level 30-something, would subscribing get me the BOFF slots and Retrain tokens I would have earned at the lower levels?
