How long, on average, would it take to get to level 50? Is there a special secret to leveling up faster?

In ye olde days when the time gated mirror event was a thing, probably around 3 days. Now your best bet is to play the story missions and do doff missions once they become available. Should take about a week with casual play. Of course once a double xp weekend rolls around you can probably get to level 50 in less than two days.

For anyone on the fence about the Tempest class, get the Zen store version before splurging on the fleet one, the console it has is amazing.

Depends? If you space it out a while you can get to 50 in a day or to /played tops since you'll have duty officer jobs ticking away and feeding you "free" XP. If you mean in one sitting... it'll probably be a bit longer. Either way you can expect 25-40 hours depending how familiar you are with the leveling quests and know which ones are safe to skip and such. Used to be faster, but the easiest way (blitzing the mirror universe hour) went away when they changed how queues work in 8.5. In any case, it's not that long at all by most MMO standards.

It's still a 3 minute clicky power but since it's actually buffable by phaser consoles and damage skills and basically murders everything in a given area and makes it un-traversable for about 30 seconds it's not a bad thing to have handy at all.

And with no chargeup time or weapon power drain or anything like that, just click and boom. It's probably one of the few (only?) 3 minute clicky damage powers that's worth taking up a console slot.

I dunno, pubbie disbelief as we've one-shotted waves of Undine in the battlezone has made it pretty worth it. The ship is good enough that you don't really need to min-max your consoles that much to still be king-poo poo of everything.

The Vesta's deflector beam and the chain lightning console are also pretty great, though perhaps a bit situational.

I like the Ar'kif c-store console. I doubt it is optimal, but the two-piece-with-quad-cannons plasma damage bonus is kind of nice and it enables Annihilation Mode. Glowy panels open up and everything.

It's pretty useless in PvP, but honestly in PvE it's kinda nice, since you have big bosses that don't move that much and the singularity powers aren't that awesome in PvE and also given it halves your singularity charge time it's not taking much away from the normal singularity powers anyway.

Also it makes bits of your ship open up and glow with sparkles, and gives you an excuse to equip a quad cannon which looks pretty cool shooting stuff. Pew Pew Pew Pew.

Another advantage is that while it burns singularity power, it doesn't start the one minute global singularity power cooldown, so you can use something else as soon as you have the power for it. It also has a passive buff (of sorts) with the toggle mode, so that puts it ahead of a lot of the clicky crap. Helps that the Ar'kif is crazy good in general.

Yeah, true. Probably depends a lot on what you're fighting... it's handy against undine since they tend to come in tight packs and the planet killers are basically sacks of immobile HP, and not bad in borg STFs too I figure (could be fun against the ISE sphere swarm), but most other stuff yeah not too exciting. Mostly just nice to see something that does have a use for a change, rather than being something you toss in a bank and forget it exists like the Avenger/Mogh consoles.

# ? May 10, 2014 04:26

The thing is, PvE's easy enough that you can get away with equipping stuff that is just fun, and this console looks pretty fun.

You know, even without the obvious overtones by Creepo McRapeDungeon over here, "Life of the Party" sounds interesting enough to MAYBE be useful on Ground maps. You know, except the whole "allow swimsuit wear anywhere with PC and other BOFFs". That I can live without. I mean holy hell, that guy is dedicated.

This also begs the question on if Risians are actual aliens, or just human colonists from a terraformed planet. I don't think Star Trek canon was ever quite clear on that. This gives it a whole new LAYER of funny if it's the latter.

"They restrict my choices" is actually a fair complaint, while this is not Champions they should and could give us so much more freedom with costumes. gently caress, all the rep armor sets are pretty lovely because you're restricted to four colors for the primary and it's a shame. There's so much potential here, for hilarity and otherwise.
