Wow. if this is what you view as shitcanning and pissing, I don't know how you would react to actually harsh words. I have not vilified you or called you any names, nor have I used any harsh or angry words. That you choose to react in this manner is telling. My goal in posting this is simply to...
I am sorry. For the past 6 years, I have tried to keep to the original founding promise of the fleet to have it be a home for all members of the forum who plays Star Trek Online. I have kept the vital fleet projects running. I have contributed to fleet projects as much as my meager resources as...
Kit modules are good. With the right kit modules, it is possible to cut what was a 20 second fight down to just under 5 seconds or less. For the recent Pahvo event, that's the difference between being overwhelmed by wave after wave of Terrans vs having time to breath between the waves.
Have a...
I would give STO a big resounding yes if you are a fan of Star Trek.
Yeah that comes from players misunderstanding ground combat, thinking it is a third person shooter game. Ground combat is very unsatisfactory if all you are doing is aiming and shooting with your weapon and not using your kit...
There are two things I can think of.
If you are new to the fleet, there is a probation period before you are promoted to a rank where you can purchase fleet gear. I don't know what is the current criteria, but in the past we typically promote new recruits who have donated significantly to fleet...
The problems you have with ship combat is one that many starting players have. Yet, there are many players who can take any ship and turn it into a solid combat ship with just a few tweaks. Here are the basics,
1. Always set weapons power to the maximum of 100.
2. Have 2 copies of Tactical...
Ship stats for the Discovery Pack ships have been released. I have not looked at the Klingon ships, but the Gagarin Miracle Worker Battlecruiser is the sole standout Federation ship in the pack...
Typically, we close the current STO thread and start a new one every year or two. My suggestion is to call the new thread "Star Trek Online Discussion Thread - Age of Discovery"
Word of advice, there's a reason why we've never queued "Unload Surplus Fleet Marks". It gives a really crappy amount of Fleet Credits so you end up wasting a lot of Fleet Marks for reduced rewards. Instead, please constantly run "Coordinate Colonization Efforts" the project if you want to dump...
Aye, what Tuskin said.. I just want to add that they've streamlined the mission journal for AoD. You can now skip past all missions, as long as you do the introduction mission for some of the "chapters".
Um, it seems the leadership for House of TrekBBS has been transferred to Timelord Victorous and myself. Afaik, Timelord has stopped playing STO for some time now so effectively, I'm the sole fleet leader. And since I rarely play my klingon characters, I do not feel I qualified to hold the reins...
Starting with Delta Rising, all NPC groups have some unique ability which you will need to counter. Here are just a few examples.
For the Vaadwaur, its their long range artillery - once targeted, you only have a few seconds to get out of dodge before extremely heavy damage hits your ship. The...
There's also a brand new executive producer helming the game.
I find this to be more significant as Cryptic always gets a suitable EP to manage different phases of the game. For example, they had an EP manage the subscription-to-f2p transition. Once the transition is complete, they changed EP...
What ship are you using? Are you a engineer, science or tactical officer?
The nice thing about STO is you don't need expensive gear to get strong. Many post-Delta Rising featured episodes provide you with solid end-game gear. And there are a lot of cheap buys on the exchange these days.
STO has a few ramp ups in difficulty. It occurs roughly once every 10 levels, but those are petty gentle increases. Those are really meant to test your understanding of the ship's capabilities and bridge officer abilities.
The big jumps in difficulty happen when you start playing Delta Rising...
