Star Trek: Online

Had a whole two weeks of real life drama and finally was able to wrap up the Miral Paris mission last night.

Now I'm THIS close to being a lt. commander...

On my starter ship I got disruptors fore and aft and quantum torps that I picked up via ship drops. Not that I think of it, all my ship slots are decked to the max by ship drops.

My whole away team has body armor, mark 2 shields and high powered alien rifles thanks to drops on away missions too!

Fun game, this STO. Now we need more sandbox features... :-)

 

Made it to LC9 today, i will try to hit commander tomorow...

 

Destroyed the Planet Killer. It took me out at the same time, mind you...

 

That happened to me as well...

 

I lucked out in that fight and somehow survived.

 

The first time I did the Doomsday Machine I just circumvented the enemy fleet, entered the planet's core from the far side, loaded the big badaboom torpedoes and fired them at the planetkiller which shortly afterwards responded by exploding.

Mission done. Not even in danger of being destroyed myself.

 

Thats how I did it as well.

 

[writes this down]

 

ditto, im on tht mission tomorrow night when i get home from work.

 

I can't stand the Crystalline Entity mission. People are so dumb. Despite being repeatedly told to avoid the fragments and concentrate on the Entity, they get into dogfights with the damn fragments, healing the entity!

I can't tell you how many times I tried to complete that Fleet Action only to quit in frustration. Oh well, I'm done it now

 

Actually, if you don't destroy the fragments, they heal the Entity. You need to shoot the Entity to get it to fragment and then destroy the fragments. (I spent 30 mins in one fleet engagement where we all just shot the entity and it didn't drop below 99%)

I'm a LC 7 now. Might make commander by the end of the week.

 

How does one get $$ for the exchange, etc? Is it selling stuff you've found?

 

^Yes

 

I can't be bothered to find the time to sell things on the exchange. I usuallly send everything to the replicator if I don't have a need for it.

 

It's really not that big a deal... just put everything in there, slap a price tag on it and the rest happens by itself... Always nice to receive a surprise cash income notice after that.

 

Cool thanks...I'll keep working on it.

 

Well, made Commander today...
My new ship:
The U.S.S. Igor

 

Today's discovery: I hate midget Klingons in PvP maps. You can't hit the bastards, and they dance around you, constantly swiping at you with their bat'lethmey so you can't shoot back!

 

If you think that's annoying, try fighting gnomes in World of Warcraft.
