Star Trek Online Discussion Thread - Delta Rising

In the words of The Three Stooges: "Success! Success!"

I was able to beat the Voth Bulwark with my Photonic Ships, sci powers....and a Tac BOFF change utilizing beam overload and scatter volley. I also changed my torpedo from the transphasic Breen cluster to the transphasic rapid reload.

It went down much quicker than before.

The Doctor should be ashamed of himself for creating something so overpowered. Of course, I'm going to now have to test my new strength with Starbase 234....

Congratulations. You did it before they fix it next week.

Thanks to the Mirror Invasion event, I had *just* enough dilithium across all my characters to buy 12,000 zen. Add in last month's stipend of 500 zen makes it 12,500 zen. So I got myself a Delta Operations Pack. Bad news is I'm completely drained of dilithium. Not a single character has more than 8,000 dilithium.

By the way, the Delta Operations Pack is currently on 20% discount if you buy it via Steam. I believe that's on top of the current "introductory offer price" which is going away in December. Legacy of Romulus is also on discount. So if you plan to get either pack, now's the time.

Thanks.

lol...I guess too many people complained about the difficulty of that particular ship and scenario so now the 'devs' are 'nerfing' it...

As far as the game overall, I'm done with the Delta Rising campaign and I'm now just trying to upgrade my ship, certain weapons (I'm now using the Polaron Theron beams and turrets and cannon). I'm also testing out my ground weapons and look to upgrade certain ones overtime.

I wonder what the next season will bring since the stories have now concluded?

Hi all, quick question. Where can I buy doffs? Where is the best place to get the best deals? I thought maybe at the embassy but I'm not having much luck. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

^ Best place to look for doffs is the exchange.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

What kind of doffs are you looking for?

 

[pteal1979]

Don't know if anyone can help, but i need to transfer a boff from one toon to another on the KDF side. can anyone help me please?

It depends on which type of doff you want.

Starfleet Academy is a good source of free white doffs, and doffs of higher rarity if you can pay with dilithium.

Our fleet starbase sell some, but the cost depends on rarity and they usually come with special abilities not found in normal doffs. Other sources of doffs with unique abilities come from duty officer packs and lockboxes.

If you're looking for a specific doff, then the Exchange is probably your best bet.

I was looking for security officer with resolve... It will cost millions on the exchange... Guess I better be prepared to pay thru the nose... Thanks guys.

The Omega Force reputation faction store sells Liberated Borg security officers. They just cost 12,750 dilithium each, quite cheap as they have really desirable security officer traits too. In fact, every character of mine has at least 5 or more of them

Ahhh! handy!

Try using the mail console, I did that with one of my fed characters.

I can't do that as they are already in my crew roaster, as i need to train them in EPTW3.
I can only move him now by trading with someone else, i do have another account i've used to do the same with my fed toons , just don't really want to have to go through all the tutorials again to do the same for the KDF toons.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

You should have told me that yesterday when we were playing on KDF.

 

[pteal1979]

Just got Teal finished on the delta rep, another 3 days until Sirak completes it. Time to start sponsoring all my alts.

I was rather disappointed to see then when i went to slot the active reputation trait, to see it was a ground trait.

 

[Scout101]

i'll finish my primary toon Thursday, then will sponsor the rest to get started. Resisted doing any for them until the bonus kicked in, to avoid waste

 

[Joel_Kirk]

So, now that Q's Winter Wonderland is in effect....which Breen ship do you guys recommend I go for?

What do you mean by "go for"? For me, I recommend unlocking all the winter event ships as they are more powerful than the free ships given out for the Risian summer events. The two Breen energy drain item sets can be useful in debuffing builds that can drain select ships of all their subsystem power, neutering their abilities. This is especially useful versus big capital ships and boss ships.

If you're asking about a ship to use, I'll say go for the T6 Breen Carrier. This is the first free T6 ship AND easily obtainable starship mastery trait available to all players. Also, carriers in general often have higher dps because the fighters contribute a lot of damage.

 

[Scout101]

Plus side is that these now work like the summer ship did; 1000 photographs for the first toon, and only 40 for subsequent ones. So we don't have to grind 1000 on every toon anymore.

Even better, i had a ton from last year, so already done with all my toons. Now to just grind it a little and finish off a second batch so I can get it automatically next year. Much nicer staying a year ahead...
