For those that tested it before, I updated the mission for Dukat's birthday. It now accurately shows how poorly Cardassians were treated.

Played them both at the same time. Great missions but they could use some speeches from the prophets at the beginning and end, remind the player it's supposed to be an orb vision and eliminate any trace of subtlety.

Cormack @ notclarke requesting to join the Fed side.

For those needing more EC, I found a decently fast mission to run. The Antiproton Beam Array from Fluid Dynamics sells well on the exchange. I think about 500K EC or more, depending how fast you want it. Mission is under the Borg episodes, and can be replayed over and over.

For now I'm off to experience Bijor. Also is there anything I can do to be useful for Goons in this game?

Also, I'm up to level 14 now doing the Romulan campaign. I tried bumping up the difficulty to advanced because normal is way too easy but holy poo poo advanced just kicked my rear end. I have the 2nd tier ship and going against a Keldon completely fucks me up because of its torpedo salvo attack that destroys my shields and brings my hull down by 70% while I can't even manage to bring down his shields before he boosts them back to 100%. The jump in difficulty is just ridiculous.

It doesn't suck, but to make the most of it you really need the other two jem'hadar ships, which makes it a really expensive ship to fit, and I think the scimitar is still better.

Start hoarding credits. Set up a couple of Klingon alts for marauding and turning in contraband for Dil, then turn that into Zen for Keys to sell. Depending on your amount of free time to turn in Contra every 4 hours you can rack up some [non-Wesley] wealth in a relatively short time. PWE is pretty good with offering key discounts from time to time as well if you're patient, and the price of Zen will come back to Earth once they introduce a new holding.

Before too long you too can know the serenity that comes from the feeling of condescension while pugging some queue in a Dread with pissbeams and Elite Bugship pets while they struggle and die in poorly fitted Galaxy-Xs

Maybe it's a bit of a pipedream, then. I am pretty new to the game (level 20!) and likely won't have time to do farming on alts and poo poo. I was hoping to just kind of not spend any credits between now and when I hit max level, and then throw a bit of real money at it to make up the difference.

I wasn't really planning on min/maxing too much anyway, so I may just end up cruising around in a sub-par Dread for the hell of it. I pretty much just want the jem'hadar dreadnought because it looks cool.

vvv Yikes, gently caress that.

You can get 1000 Zen, buy two fleet ship modules, and then sell those on the exchange for ~9m each.

Basically, though, BUYING on of these ships with real money is going to cost you like 50 dollars.

As per popular request on the Goon channel, here is the chat log of our ill-fated IGE run with Werp.

I should note that this STF took several hours, and we never made it past Ogden. Werp died dozens of times, as Busch was pulling entire rooms of Borg on us, but Werp seemed preoccupied with telling me where to place medical generators (I don't have that kit). Once he snaps out of generator mode, he realizes that he is locked out of Odgen's room, and begins to lose it. After another hour or so, he finally leaves and begins sending angry tells to any Dental he comes across. Enjoy.

http://pastebin.com/MKd780eT

(He finally realizes that he is locked out, and thus cannot continue the STF at around line 156, with this comment: [Team] werp@koomers: omg , tell me it is not possible to hold here )

Highlights:

quote:

[Team] werp@koomers: cheers , that is great , can we get on with this stf now ?
[Team] Buschmaki@Buschmaki: I told you, I think it's something on your end.
[Team] Buschmaki@Buschmaki: Try to continue, please.
[Team] werp@koomers: bush , if i let you gently caress my rear end , can we get on with this stf ?
[Team] werp@koomers: i have never been in an stf like this
[Team] werp@koomers: who has not appealed this
[Team] werp@koomers: this gusy is a pshychotic rear end raper
[Team] werp@koomers: gently caress you all
(Beams out)

And also, the aftermath:

quote:

[Tell] werp@koomers: hey , gently caress you
[Tell] werp@koomers: i just put vadat in my notepad , he is going to pay
[Tell] werp@koomers: nbreeki is a cross dressing human being who cannot complete manus elite
[Tell] To werp@koomers: hey let's be friends
[Tell] werp@koomers: i have no problem with that , but , you are a serious poo poo head
[Tell] werp@koomers: your giuld is poo poo

I used to think that goons exaggerated how bad pubbies were. I could usually complete pug STFs without much pain and only the occasional pants-on-head retarded group. Then they released undine assault. Holy poo poo are they terrible at it. Everyone either splits up along every lane and dies, or the smart ones group and focus on one lane. But even that takes about 10-15 minutes per lane with a "good" group.

Except with my scimitar. I can clear a lane solo fast enough to combo the rifts, then I have to go back and drag the pubbies through each lane since they'll inevitably still be flailing at the start when I'm finished. The best group I had was almost able to keep up with my clear speed when the 4 of them focused on one lane while I cleared another. Almost.

In summary: 1) The scimitar is ridiculously overpowered, 2) Pubbies are terrible and you should never do what they do, and 3) Follow the goon guides. I would suck if not for all the great information in these threads and on the wiki. Instead, I get to carry entire teams like a disruptor-throwing demigod thanks to the wealth of information passed down from our benevolent nerd overlords.

4) Just stop doing Undine Assault already. Or do you hate yourself that much? I'm serious there's literally no reason in ever to do it, it's painful even with a good team and goons plain won't do it anymore because of that.

Would you mind pm'ing me your fit? I've got a fedrom alt with one that I'm less than impressed with and I'm 100% sure it is because I've fit it shittily and I'm comparing it to the Fleet Assault Cruiser and am being disappointed.

So I have noticed that Tactical captains are the best now..and I rolled my FedRom main character about a year or so ago, when engineering captains were the best. But at least I have cover shield.

Seems like a useless ability, except for the ability to block other players in group things. What is the best STF/fleet action or whatever it is called to be able to block people with cover shields?

Also Mondian: If renaming my character to whatever name you want can get me a Tal Shiar battlecruiser, what do I need to do for a Galor? :v:
