That one was weird and came out of nowhere. Could have been a great character development thing for Kim if this was expanded upon, but it was just 'dropped' and never heard about again.
I've gotten into STO myself, also on PS4. Currently I'm playing a Bolian officer called Detaith. I also have a Klingon officer and a Romulan officer. I also have a TOS era Andorian and a human. I've definitely been enjoying the game immensely.
Yep! I still use my Cnidarian Defender (the living Jellyfish ship from “Farpoint”), which I got from one of the Summer Risa events a couple of years ago. That thing kicks profound ass. Probably one of the most powerful ships in the game.
Love the JF, great for elite runs like Starbase or Doomsday, just pops ships like they were bloons, plus great for team healing..........but of course if you use it, remember to close your chat windows, as without fail someone will be red faced with anger that you dared use it in a random pug they also joined. Lol
JF gets hate because it's the AFK Ship. I go through spurts with STO, been playing since Beta. I've kind of done everything there is to do at this point so I tend to leave it for long stretches and come back when there's a new mission to play. I miss the Foundry, had alot of fun with that. Too bad the ancient spaghetti code of STO makes it completely unusable now. I two missions I created get fairly popular, and I was working on my magnum opus for a long time but never got the chance to release before the Foundry went away. Both of my published ones were KDF, the first was a straightforward story about an aging Klingon captain who had called on you for aid. The mission felt odd, going after an old Cardassian outpost dating back to the Dominion War. Turns out that the True Way discovered some information and were trying to use it extort the old captain... turns out his father was captured and held at the facility, which would have led to the captain himself being dishonored. He had worked hard to cover it up, but the information was going to be released. He got you to attack the base and destroy the evidence. At the end, you had the option to either fight the old captain and give him an honorable death, or keep him alive and force him to face his dishonor. The second was about a rouge Klingon scientist working with Romulans to run experiments on Borg. I was able to create some neat maps with Klingon bases fused with Borg parts. My last mission would have been a journey to the Pakled homeworld. I was going Borg again... my story of the Pakleds were that the Borg had assimilated their world for some kind of resource it had, but were uninterested in the Pakleds themselves. The Pakleds learned to cobble together Borg refuse to uplift themselves and took some Borg inspiration for their own culture... the Borg assimilate, the Pakled look for things. The issue at the end was that the Borg's extraction of resources from their planet was causing it to destabilize. Our player had to get in, access an elevator that led to the planet core and modify some Borg technology without triggering the Borg to attack. I had planned to add a bit of a twist ending where the Borg catch you at the end, realize what you're doing and... back off, realizing you're actually helping them too. It all ends with the Borg coming as close to a "thank you" as may be possible, leaving you with "you will not be assimilated."
Yeah i have seen that labelled at the JF, i don't know why, i put it down to those who were shouting about the ship looked horrible and they would not bother doing the event to get it, and now the reality is it is a op ship thst damages and team heals at the same time, and they now have to pay to get it...........hence why these days have the chat window closed most of the time, which is a shame because it is only a loud minority that whing and moan in this game about everything, be it the ship other player dare to use without asking permission first, or you don't treat a pug tfo like it is a military simulator, or dps gods who do random elites tfos and then for some reason instead of doing the tfo they sit at the side whinging about who is doing the least dps..........we can think ourselves lucky these player never got their wish of a tfo team vote kick.
I have to say I don't really have that same problem. Although I generally stay out of the Elites and as far away from the DPS cult as possible. I have seen the JF be an AFK machine. You can cheese the system with it. Usually the game will auto-kick you for AFK after awhile but the JF will do enough on its own in it's jellyfish mode to trick the game into thinking the player is doing something. So you can park it somewhere where enemies will spawn, pop the mode and walk away. I personally don't care... although again I don't normally do Elite's. Advanced are usually challenging enough without having to risk outright fail conditions, so even if someone does AFK it's not usually that big of a deal. My biggest with the game nowadays is the ridiculous overreliance on the gamble boxes. There are plenty of things I want in this game, that I would buy, but they don't let me. I'm not going to buy a chance to get the thing. I'll buy the thing, but it's not an option. It's gotten so ridiculous to the point that ANYTHING actually shown on screen is box-gated. Maybe occasionally they are a generous god and toss some shitty kitbashed Wolf 359 ships you can buy in the c-store. I do like that KDF T6 Dyson ship, though. Been hankering for a new KDF ship for a bit. I bought the Lego D7 and that has been my kind of forever-ship.
I hope you are doing the yearly campaign, as this year you get the 1500 lobi, the 2 T6 zen store tokens and the 1 elite T6 ship token, works out as 1 T6 lock box ship, 2 lobi store ships, and 2 T6 zen store ships.....great rewards this year. :-)
Will the Kelvin timeline constitution II Intel cruiser be available as an elite T6 option in this year's campaign? I really wouldn't mind adding that TOS Kelvin captain's ship roster.
