First off, there's absolutely no incentive for a Cruiser to ever want aggro. Drawing aggro means taking damage. It is my experience that most Cruiser pilots are perfectly happy letting the escorts draw aggro so the Cruisers can sit in relative peace while firing on the enemy with a broadside. If you want to end escort…

I agree completely with the original poster. Also, this isn't WoW in space, if it can't or wouldn't appear in a Star Trek movie/series then it shouldn't be in the game.
-
Love the idea, but it should be a clickable option (you have been disabled, would you like to respawn). That way if in a solo mission, you can choose respawn, but with friends you could choose disable and then set about making repairs. As has been noted, in a solo mission the baddies would just hover near you and destroy…

I just wish they'd make it so you can shoot Tribbles, regardless of whether your are in combat or not. See a tribble on the starbase, should be able to shoot it, stomp it, stab it, poke it, vaporize it, or take it to the chef for cooking.

Armor in space combat (as presented in this game) is pointless. Armor only reduces damage (provides resistance) once the attack has penetrated your shields. You're better off using a console slot to increase your shields, shield / hull repair skills, or shield regeneration abilities (lessening how much damage reaches your…

Um... you do realize they already have this, it is called Team Chat. The only difference is that it is text and not voice. You can send any message you want to the entire team, or Private Message individual team members.

Of the dozen or so Foundry missions I have played, only 2 were what I would consider "good", the rest were a complete waste of time. All of those I played were rated 4 or 5 stars?? Poorly thought out plots and storylines, bad dialog, tons of glitches or unbalanced fights, continuity errors, and the list goes on... As such,…

I know this isn't going to be popular... but... I'd prefer that they increase the forward speed of all ships, and decrease the turn rate of all ships. When you adjust for scale, and think of the mass of each of these ships, the turn rates in-game are just insanely fast.

I'll take mortars over turrets anyday. The enemy will wipe out a turret before it can fire a second time, where-as I can hide the mortars around a corner and pummel the enemy for a while before they figure out where I am. Before walking up to a doorway, set up the mortar against the wall closest to the room. Set mines in…

Ground devices in STO are IMHO ... useless. I equip a remodulator and a stack of large hypos. Everything else is pretty much a waste of space. At low levels a tribble is nice to heal between fights (until you get a medic with decent abilities). Although it sucks to constantly remodulate - I found that the MACO ground gear…
-
Definitely Space. Ground in STO is clunky, awkward, boff's that get stuck, lost, or seem to forget that they actually have abilities to use, and I'm not impressed by the graphics. Add to that the often-times bad dialog (I hate it when two NPCs are standing 30 feet away from each other and you have to run back and forth…
-
Threat Control is completely useless. You get far better benefits from other skills, and if you want to draw someone's attention, just damage them. There are a number of area of effect damage weapons/tactics that if used will get every bad guy targeting you. Taking a skill to do the same thing, just doesn't make sense.
-
Getting back to the original topic... according to a previous star trek game (Star Trek Legacy - narrated in part by all actors to have played enterprise captains), V'ger became the borg.
-
Autofire for all energy weapons, manual firing of kinetic weapons. To stop firing all you have to do is double click your mouse on empty space or hit esc key. This maximizes your damage output making sure you don't have a delay between weapon recharge and firing it.
-
We need to nerf all the nerfy nerfs, they are just too much nerf! And while we're at it we should take those nerfs and get them to stop nerfing all the other nerfs and making new nerfs.... oh, wait... you said nerf. I thought you said smurf.

I could be perfectly happy with removing all cloaks from Federation ships. In the series (plural) there were only two mentions of federation (combat) vessels cloaking. One was research into a phasing cloak that violated treaty, and the other was when the Romulans gave the Federation ONE cloaking device for use on the…

I like the idea of having to pass a tutorial mission before being allowed into the elite stf (oh, and by far the best strategy is 1 left, 1 middle, 3 right). Other strategies may work depending on who is there at the time, and how well they work together, but for pugs, 1/1/3 is the best for elite cure. The tutorial would…

My Science character names all of her ships after famous scientists from Earth history. My Tac character names all of his ships after famous US Presidents. My first character (long since deleted) named his ships with adjectives (that could stand alone as a name).
-
STO moved to F2P because it saw that it would make more money with micro-transactions than subscriptions. That isn't true of all games, but it is true in this case. They are making a lot more money now that the game is F2P than before when it was subscription. I agree that subscription players should get some bonus for…

Believe what you want, personally I'm not a roleplayer in STO, but every word of what I said is easily verifiable. Just go look on Drozana for yourself. You can't miss it.
-
After hearing countless complaints by roleplayers in this game about the abuse suffered at Drozana station, I decided to go see for myself. Over the past four days I have spent several hours a day, just sitting on Drozana observing, in several different instances. I saw at least a half dozen instances of Starfleet Dental…

Lol, I gave up using all satelites and platforms. Whenever I deploy them they just sit there until they expire without ever firing a single shot. Meanwhile enemy ships fly within 1 km of them and they just sit there.
-
As stated earlier, if you want people to use more mines... 1. Have any skill / ability / console that affects one type of torpedo, affect the same type of mine. 2. Increase damage of the mines (right now there is absolutely no incentive to even avoid them). 3. Keep everything else about them the same as they are now. Any…

Rule #1 of any fleet, clan, guild, company, organization, or non-profit... Don't give someone access to the money / resources unless you absolutely trust them (or unless you've placed strict limits on exactly what they can do). If you haven't learned that, you deserve to be cleaned out.
-
I am Q... you are all just figments of my imagination. There, debate over. Now let's go play STO.

This issue has been reported several times since the release of S6.
-
There was ONE interview in which a Dev stated that they were going to try and do full content for KDF, but after that there were several (including posts by devs in the forums) that said that after they took a look at it, they realized it couldn't be done. Why? Because it would require them to go back and recode EVERY…

Perhaps you are not yet close enough to the planet. You have to get VERY close before the planet will hail you.
-
This is getting off topic. Yes, they should combine skills and abilities for torpedos and mines. Any skill / ability / console that affects quantum warheads should affect both quantum torpedos and quantum mines. Also, there should be a separate mine deploy button (or remove it from the 'fire all' button).
-
It is definitely not lag. If you can play as part of a team, communicating back and forth, and fighting together... all that works fine. It is only the moving of gear between inventories / banks, sending / receiving mail, etc that is held up. Definintely Cryptic's problem.
