The Bajorans were so terrible their own gods picked someone not Bajoran to be their prophet because not even their own actual real life totally existing gods could stand to talk to them.

I can't understand the point, presuming this isn't fake. So EXP rates are adjusted up. The normal game has a generous curve as is. And it's not where most progression comes from at the minute.

The only way it'd be interesting is if they messed with the enemies, ship stats, or both.

For Season 10, the Undine ought to get into it with the Dominion so you have two races of shapeshifters engaged in a serious, sustained campaign of impersonating each other

That is exactly what the singularity attacks on DS9 were supposed to stop. Also the locals don't take it well when you show up at Quarks and remind them of this fact :v:

Could any bored goons please test it out when it's available? Part 1 is up if you search for Bijor in the regular foundry missions (not review).

Can't happen. Voyager is already involved in Season 9. Sure Tuvok is in command, but let's be honest here, there's gonna be a reset button that puts us back to the end of Season 8 once this is all over.

I'm new at this game, but I just reached level 10 and got a brand new spankin' ship with not one but TWO tactical stations. I even bought some random vulcan to come serve at the station, but when I click "commission" on her, she says there's no room aboard my ship. What's the dealio? I got a station right here, totally vacant.

"Commission" puts them into your pool of bridge officers (the dudes on the side bar when you bring up the 'U' screen), from that pool you assign bridge officers to stations.

That message probably means that you don't have any more slots in that pool.

ya in that 'u' screen, click on them so they're active (you're looking at their doll and items and stuff), Put the items you want to keep off of them in your inventory, and then at the bottom of that screen there's a "career options" drop down selector.

What's not to understand? The people running it get paid by idiots and in return they offer those idiots c-store access at 1/3 of the price. The baffling part is that it's probably a copy of like S2 era STO and who the gently caress would want to go back to that?

Messed with in a good way. One of the Omega reputation traits adds a DoT to kinetic weapons based on how much hits the hull (through the shields), making transphasic weapons all the more effective.

You can grind "assimilation" from the borg advance episodes for Kit frames and Modules to sell for EC on the exchange, a good frame goes for about a hundred thousand and the best modules go for a million or two right now. The price is dropping daily though as more enter the market. If you want EC more than dilithium right now then selling contraband on the exchange is a good option, it's worth roughly 50k each right now which is 10k above it's usual price. If you want dil then turn that contraband in for 3000 dil for a stack of 5 every four hours during the bonus weekend.

Other than that? Go to the fleet mines and run the doff assignments for dil and ec, run foundry missions with farm in the name to get space gear drops you can sell, run exploring the galaxy for a few thousand EC with 15 minutes work, run starbase 24 and minefield fleet actions for dil, run the dyson sphere ground battlezone for dil, earn reputation marks and trade them in for dilitium (the hourly give a better conversion rate plus the rep).

Really as long as you aren't hanging around Drozna Rping you'll earn a decent amount every day, you're bottle necked by your drops and refine limits anyway. Do whatever you find fun.

Your Ha'Feh is a Tier 5 ship, as is every other Rear Admiral ship. That said, it is certainly one of the better nine-console ships, especially for free.

Yeah, basic Tier 5 is 9-console, and from there you upgrade to 10-console ships in the form of Fleet/Lockbox/Lobi/C-store ships. Or possibly summer/winter event ships, which are free once a year.

You're flying a Ha'feh so I assume you're good with an escort too? If you want an escort, you want a fleet Ar'kif. For a cruiser, yeah, either a D'Deridex or a Scimitar.
