Giving STO Another Try

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Tour the Galaxy. Can be found where Captain Kim is on ESD.

"crit monkey" is a community slang term used for builds or setups heavily optimized to maximize Critical Hit Chance and Critical Severity. It's not something I really bother about that much.

Or just look under 'Available Missions'.

Ah, I see. I know the Tour The Galaxy mission. Never heard of a critmonkey before.

I created a Klingon character last week, only now really understanding things like Account Bank, doing events with two characters meaning I get to choose where the dilithium goes, pumping EC from one toon to another.... I had a previous toon (Starfleet) from a few years ago that i don't use so I can see what I have there.
Also got Zen for a T6 ship so equipping an LT.CMC with one should be good, got two of the B'Vat weaponsets to equip it nicely already.

Did you go traditional Klingon or Disco Klingon?

Because console now has a dilithium exchange backlog, I've recently learnt how to manually input an amount so I can join a queue. It's so odd just suddenly learning something in a game you've been playing for years!

Traditional, and I am PC.
I have enough character slots left to try Disco as well at some point. I'm waiting for a Temporal Recruit event that hopefully lets me go for TOS Starfleet as well.

Just learned something.....

You can transfer DIL between toons. If you have a toon with a lot of DIL and want another to have it, open the exchange and select Buy Zen. Go for an offer no one will accept, 25 DIL for 1 Zen. Choose the amount of Dil and make the offer.
Switch toons, go the Dil/Zen Exchange and cancel the offer. Then choose Withdraw. Your chosen toon now has the dil.
My unused toon had 77.000 DIL, my new toon now has it.

There is a trekbbs fleet for the Klingon side on PC. One advantage of Klingons are certain mission that get more dilithium than Federation.

An account bank is awesome for transferring items that you have crafted between characters. Pity can't transfer Bridge Officers between characters (can be done with mail)

 

[Mage]

Hm, weird glitch....

I decided to do a Patrol Hard Level, via the TFO button, since it would give me 1125 dil at the moment. Oddly enough, I once got standard 15 marks to choose from, and the extra mark package I was supposed to get wasn't in my inventory.

I transfer using 500 per as the cost because there's such a backlog, it won't get to your posting for 30 m- 40 days real time.

Always transfer at 25. If anyone is stupid enough to approve it, you just got a shitload of Zen. If not, your transfer works anyway.

I see Exchange sales set up to catch folk not paying attention.

Lump a MKII piece of gear in with the MKXII stuff at just a bit cheaper.

Hell, dunno if folk are still doing it, but you could list Comet Cocktails for 10000EC when you can buy them on Drozana for 20EC. Skill manuals too - not the craftable ones, the same basic ones you can buy at ESD from the trainer. Some folk are too lazy to warp to ESD and buy them, so use the Exchange.
