How good is that +17.3 Starship Targeting Systems on the Hydrodynamics Compensator?

Somewhere around %2.5 accuracy. Not very exciting, but since it adds power levels and turn rate and is universal unlike an RCS console it still has some potential uses, especially if you're using the torpedo and turret too.

So I decided to give this a shot since I hadn't played it since the beta for the expansion pack last...spring? It's pretty good now, I started a new Romulan character and the actual Romulan content isn't so bad and I just got to Paradise which is more of a conventional MMO area so that's new to me. I was hoping I could get an invite for Valyr@hberke. Is there any real difference with ground combat weapons leveling up or is it whatever until you hit the endgame?

Pulsewaves are shotguns, and therefore the most fun. Split beams have great versatility. Basically, don't use pistols and you'll be fine.

The best reason is to immediately go to the bank and see if the pubbies are stupid with their fleet bank permissions. Even if they're not you can leave them with a bunch of catfish sandwiches as a token of your appreciation.

Also you can avoid getting other random spam fleet invites while you level.  But yeah, there's no real benefit or hindrance to it since the fleet services are all max-level stuff.

I told him about how the Bajorans were whiny shitheels, and how Dukat was right. After about a 15 minute conversation, and convincing him that Dukat was always right, and that his Cardassian character should 'go and seek the five lights of Damar, prophet of Dukat. Only then would he reach true enlightenment'. As thanks, he gave me 200 mil EC. Dukat provides.

Looking at the endgame ships, and based on what I have seen in-game, it seems the Fed patrol escorts are quite small. What are the bigger better fed or cross-faction escorts in the game (I read the goon wiki ship list, but not sure how big those ships are)? Basically, I would like to progress to a larger ship compared to the tier 2 escort I am using.

Should we put babby's first endgame gear loadout at the front of the thread? By my understanding, when you first hit 50 and you're not into understanding how it works and more complex tactics, this is almost certainly what you're gonna start off with from the reps regardless of ship, and then people can ask for advice about the rest of the fleet consoles to fill it out with and we can all argue about +Neutronium vs Monotanium. Feel free to correct me. [Gravimetric Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XII] (if you want a torpedo) [Kinetic Cutting Beam Mk XII [Dmg]x3] [Assimilated Subtranswarp Engines Mk XII] [Assimilated Deflector Array Mk XII] [Dyson Regenerative Shield Array Mk XII] [Elite Fleet Reinforced Warp Core Mk XII [SEP] [W->S] [SCap] [AMP] [SST]] [Some Singularity Core I Have No Idea Here] [Subspace Field Modulator] (reward from the mission "Skirmish") [Console - Universal - Plasmonic Leech] [Console - Universal - Assimilated Module] [Console - Zero-Point Energy Conduit] [Console - Universal - Nukara Particle Converter] [Console - Tactical - Vulnerability Locator Mk XII [+YourEnergyType]] x All your tac slots. There's a lot of guides up on the wiki all out of date and telling you to get the MACO bonus or the Omega set or all over the place who drat knows and it's all out of date.

Mr Wikstroem posted:Put it in the wiki instead I say and do feel free to update any outdated article that you come across. That's not really what you start out with though, there's some serious grinding and running rep projects in there. Also when you have the Dyson shield you probably don't give a poo poo about the Borg procs anymore, I straight up wouldn't make the Nukara console a priority for not beam cruisers and a lot of the other gear is still very viable depending on what you actually want to do with it. So the answer is there is no simple answer except when you start out get the Solanae set and start doing Voth ground every day for a massive amount of marks and Dil.

I meant that more as a first thing to aim for as a generic gear build. (Point taken re: the Nukara console, though). Simply because the question's been coming up in chat quite a few times lately as newish people have been getting into the rep grind and asking what they'll be wanting to get from the various reps, and it might be better to point them to this rather than have a chaotic mess of things linked in chat or them going to find the outdated guides, which a few have.

After that... probably the account bank, but for that I'd actually recommend subscribing for a month, which unlocks that and a bunch of other things permanently. After that, depends on what you're feeling you need. More characters? More boffs? More bank? Also, if you have a KDF character, a Vandal destroyer so you can steal that sweet sweet plasmonic leech console.
