@kapla: Ouch. I flew that ship in the days when I chose bridge officers based on looks and set items were purchased with token trade-ins from borg stfs. It appears you are correct. I make a point to check my facts before posting on new topics these days, never bothered to recheck the validity of assumptions I had over 2.5+…
@kapla: Just to reiterate, the transformation was cool because it pointed all your back facing weapons forward. So given it's 4/3 weapons layout, the transformation would change the Guramba to a 7/0 weapon layout. The exeption being torpedoes which continued to point backwards for some reason. I just don't feel that a…
Guramba Siege Destroyer. Not sure how viable it was, but flipping all weapons to face forward and occasionally managing to destroy enemies with the "superweapon" was really fun. Every time I hit "Javelin" it was like firing off an undine world killer or an Iconian founder flattener - only more puny, and requiring precise…
I'll admit, the word "live" sprawled all over the launcher is a bit annoying. I prefer to think of it as follows though: Krenim weapon test status: On hold.
Balls of steel yes. The slightest trace of klingon-ness, no. The wording just seems unbelievably sloppy. "We will be the knife in the dark"? There is a difference between Romulan espionage and raiding. "We will be the wolves in the night" would have been far more appropriate - and Qo'nos doesn't even have wolves. They've…
Is the dialogue in the 9th tale of the war the same as in the feature episode? I'll try get the exact dialogue when I replay the episode on Thursday (weekly rewards) but the way the Iconians are talking does make it sound like "the other" refers to the male half of the species. While the Iconians do use individual names,…
@yreodred: People oppose everything. Especially internet people. On MMO forums. A possibility would be to add an additional Tac-console slot which could only slot Projectile type consoles (not even universal) to every ship in the game. I prefer the idea of placing a slight limitation to giving another weapon slot though.…
More of a deep strike then a stealthy operation. I think Kahless went down there with death in mind - and he did alright for himself by my standards. The idiots I can't understand though, are the ones who watched him get slaughtered from up stairs. - looking at you sunshine - The mission to destroy the reactors was a…
What about limiting the amount of energy weapons which can be fitted on a given ship? Nothing overly drastic but on average if there are N weapon slots, only allow N-1 energy weapons. 7 weapon slot ships can have 6 energy weapons, 8 weapon slot ships can have 7 energy weapons, probably let 6 weapon ships have their 6…
I come back to play this game every 3-4 months (once I've gotten the previous sickening grind) and I find these bizarre developments really disheartening. I do believe that T6 versions of these same ships will be re-released. That said I'm currently praying they do not retire the T6 breen carrier in the winter festival as…
While I know very little of actual Star Trek cannon and there does seem to be consensus that the books are non-cannon, the entity "O" does look to me to be the most likely candidate for "the other". Would he be the most fitting enemy to improve upon the story of STO? Likely not. He is however, one of the few entities who…
Quite frankly I'd prefer the skill tree shown in Rebirth to the current skill tree. There are way too many layers of obscurity between builds, the arcane inner math of STO and the end results of one's health and DPS. The only game I've seen where extreme build complexity could actually be considered a feature is Path of…
Greetings. I'm a seasonal, soloing player who contributed heavily to one fleet that collapsed and then moderately to a second fleet which I've been with for about 8 months (which has stagnated in the third starbase tier without providing provisions). I'm just looking for a fleet where I can quietly contribute and…
