Into Darkness is imho much better than the first one. The plot of the first one was highly illogical, but at last the actors were greatly casted. The plot of Into Darkness has much less logical flaws. There is also no simple minded villian as in the first movie. (we remeber back, the motivation of Nero was to kill someone…

Now imagine that mutiple BO stacking on a ship with 5 tac consoles, 34.000 hull, 0.9 shields, battle cloak and singularity magic, which instantly recloak after 5 secs by stacking 5 rom Boffs. You will wish back the times where only Klingon BoPs had battle cloak.
-
So, Romulan should have better ships, better cloak and better gimmicks (singularity power) then the other factions? Are you serious? Do you could imagine, how loud the outcry of the community would be, if Klingon bird of preys would merely get 5 tac consoles - not to mention higher hull and shield ratings? The KDF has even…

The excelsior ingame is a heavly refittet and upgraded version as the Lokota was. The "original" excelsior would be probably inferior. However, combat strenght in terms of STO simply is brought up to 2 values: bridge officer layout and turn rate. Which is quite unlogical after all.

Fleet Tor'khat in front of Qo'noS:
-
There are enough bird of preys. What KDF need are more raptors. there are currently only 2 of them. But since the Fleet Qin is quite bad, there is virtually only the Somraw.
-
There are drawbacks. Performing a successfull alpha strikes in a BoP is far more difficult thensimply activate damage buffs + CRF as in an escort. In addition, after an alpha strike of an BoP - successfull or not - the pilot need to wait min. 1 min to be ready again. Further, most alpha strike build arevery restrictive to…
-
I think most BoPs builds will have higher spike potential on alpha then the average escort/raptor. Of course an escort can be specced for spike like a BoP. However, rarely see one. Most use DHC +Torp/DB or just 4 to 5 DHCs. Prebuffing is nice. If your opponent is not a science captain. :P
-
Sorry to say, but cruiser are the more easy target. They are slow and immobile and hence the perfect prey for any BoP. And they mostly don't have any powers against tractor beam, like attack pattern omega, which is quite common to have 2x on escorts. You should always run your cycle that is: tactical team, emergency power…

Impressive.

Don't nerf DHCs. Power ET and ST by giving them the same automatic shield distribution like TT. This will boost whale cruiser damage significantly, because the now 1-2 low tier Boff tac slots are not longer wasted for 2x TT1. The innate need for using at least 1 TT in PvP and PvE should be removed.
-
I can promise, if a change from cryptic is done, it will be like: Systems Tachyon beam: - Tachyon beam I to III is now befefit in effectiveness from tactical captain's powers - At the same time, the shield damage is decreased for 50% if used by a science captain - Escorts now get Tachyon beam III as a innate ability on a…

I guess a sensor & stealth focused B'rel torpedo build will one-hit wanna be Romulans while stealth. Could be funny. However, quite bad in PvE.
-
BoPs are not antiquated ships. The build date of a ship is not defined by the shape of it's hull. Apperently, the Klingons simply found it not necessary to change the hull design of their ship. This is clearly shown in one of the DS9 episodes where a BoP goes 1on1 with an Jem'hadar attack ship and win. A BoP build in in…

Join KDF. Claim your battle cruiser today. Get the tankyness of an fed cruiser + damage of an escort + agility like a fed science ship. Be happy.

What seen on screen is irrelevant, as 7 o f9 would have stated. Because what is seen on screen is in the time line of Star Trek Online minimum 30 years outdated. Yes, if you would have read my text, you would have seen that I said that. But the Galaxy in game is NOT the Galaxy on screen. It is an updated version as the…
-
The Defaint's pulse phasers were more powerfull because the Defaint was an NX class when the Galaxy class were already decades old. The enterprise-D launched 7 years before the defaint class even was planned. In addition, the Galaxy class was designed in a very peacefull period, while the defaint was the direct answer to…
-
Not even mentioned that these damage control engineers dofs are going to be useless in PvP ... Which non-p2w boffs remain that are actually usefull for space?
-
The reason is, that the normal fed player in kerrat is up for PvM and spec and equip their boats respectively. However, since the chance to win the scenario against an superiority of 1:5 is quite low, most Klingons are up for PvP. Escpacially, because they spawn mostly surrounded by 5 fed ships per Klingon player. In…
-
It depends how well the JHAS tanked. It is very easy to self gimp a ship by not knowing the game mechanic and using TRIBBLE equipment. I doubt that an odyssey cruiser with EptS-X and Elite Fleet shields, Aux2SIF3, HE, TTS and 2x TT, BFI doffs and RSP will be outtanked by an BoP. Especially not, because any direct hull…
-
I have seen shuttles tanking better then a JHAS. Does that mean a shuttle is stronger than a JHAS? Please nerf shuttles. :rolleyes:
-
If a BoP had 15.000 more hull, 0.2 more shields, 5 foreward weapons slots, 5 boffs, wing cannons and optionally 5 tac consoles instead of 3 (lol), I would agree. The only ship class where Klingon ships are better than feds are their cruisers, which actually are as strong as a cruiser should be. No doubt here )even as a…
-
Battle cloak? Highly over estimated. Battle cloak is for hit&run tactics, good for solo play in Kerrat and maybe for PvP capture & hold. For PvE - completely useless. Battle cloak is for ships with the only focus on alpha strike every minute with Beam Overload / THY - for everything else the damage bonus is just too short.…

All Klingongs are scientists. They are constantly studying their enemies :p
-
It was not an exploit but major game balancing faults from the game designers. For space but als ground, if you want to be competetive in PvP, you have to have traits like accurate, elusive, warp theorist and so on. It is not the player's fault, that some traits are just much superior to others. My "Alien" in fact looks…

And now comapre the actual ships on Klingon side with hangar bays and the ships on Fed side with hangar bays ... I would say having the armitage and the vesta makes Fed >>>>> klink.
-
Of course, you can a ship build like using DEM with Marion Frances Dulmur and BO. However, without combination with Aux2Bat cooldown reduction this build will only be awesome every 1:30 min. Now the question, at which ships can Marion Frances Dulmur used with multiple BO2/3 efficiently? You need: - a ship with 1 Lt. Eng.…
-
Actually, Tactical captains in Fed cruisers can put out high damage with beam arrays, too - escpacially in those having 4 tac consoles. However most Fed are ignorant peta'Qs not knowing how to fight at all. With one exception: Kirk. But he was in fact a Klingon (realy!).

I had some crash issues related to the bloom effekt. According to the Win7 event message it was related to an failure of atidxx32.dll. After turning off the bloom effects, I had no crashes anymore. See: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=619531
