DancingShade posted:Not really, but those borg gates in STFs are pretty close. No shields and you can shoot them safely from ~3km underneath because their hitbox is larger than 10km Also the Starbase mission in Romulan space seems specifically designed for such under semi-combat conditions. Kill the initial wave of enemies, then you've got something like 2-3 minutes to do as much damage as possible. The starbase shoots back at intervals, and is pretty strong, but is also such a giant sack of shield and HP(And also can't be killed even if it hits 0 HP) that you can use it for testing. It feels like it'd only be useful for major changes in how you're kitted out, though.

Aleth posted:I'm cautiously optimistic that they are what with the nature of the fixes and releases they've been doing lately. Crafting is finally getting an overhaul, the traits system was redone, KDF uniforms being fixed, Borg/Undine missions being revised and so on all are things that have needed addressing for some time. Yeah but they're adapting crafting to what it is in Neverwinter which is actually worse because it suckers you in and makes you spend your precious dil on gambling.

Massive tedious multi-day timesinks ooooor maybe a boatload of dilithium to I admit I never messed with it on the PTR, but I'm not really holding my breath no. I mean it's probably better than the literally useless crafting there is now, but it's really getting to the point where the duty officer system as a whole needs a revamp and this... isn't quite it.

Aleth posted:Elachi are yellowish, yeah. They have a bit of yellow but are still distinctly green (energy drink beams). I have them on my Fleet D'deridex because they match the slime-green Tron decorations on Romulan fleet ships perfectly (and they have the best proc in the game  ).MikeJF posted:Do Phased Polaron and Dominion Polaron look the same important rainboat questions I think Phased Polaron is hot pink, while Dominion Polaron is more of a pale color. Next year I should roll a Romulan pimp character and fly around in a purple and gold Risian cruiser with protonic polarons. Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Jul 17, 2014 |

Xindi-Reptillian tac boff's space trait looks interesting. If it's strong enough it's possible my vesta/recluse/etc can drop one of their super-expensive attack pattern doffs. Also the carrier looks really sweet and I hope it's good.

Requesting channel invite for Pneumatic@GWGordy, and Wiki access as Pneumatic. When I last played this game properly the only thing to do at max level was to abandon ship next to low level players at earth spacedock, a feature that is greatly missed. Also I bring gifts of dudes who are really mad about game improvements.

Taerkar posted:I decided to go full rainbow boat with the Risan Luxury Cruiser on a gimmick alt I have, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. Here's the current setup of it: I ran rainbowbeams on my Excelsior and put way too much thought into it. Red: Borg Cutting Beam - The 360' AP would be better. Orange: Vanilla Phasers Yellow: Spiral wave Disruptors. Everything else is kinda greenish. Elachi Beams are probably second best. Green: Romulan Plasma Array from the reputation system. Blue: Refacting tetryon Array or Retrofit Phasers Purp: Photonic Polaron. Chroniton Dual Beam Array is a DBB that cycles through a rainbow as it fires, you'll have to debate the virtues of shooting a literal rainbow versus using a DBB. You know the right choice.

At least it was a few weeks ago when I first started playing this goddamn crack rock of a game. I had to download some bullshit to get it to start properly but gently caress me if I can remember what it was when I had to do it.

Burning_Monk posted:When someone has time, can anyone explain the new R&D system? I tried it out and got very confused. Also is there someplace we can turn in old particle trace stuff? Basically it replaces the old crafting system with 'projects', which are similar to doff assignments and use doffs as well as the new crafting materials, which can be acquired from the same places as the old ones, in addition to as a reward from STFs. Projects that produce actual gear require both crafting materials and components that are produced by other projects. The projects give you XP that increases your crafting level, which increases the odds of you successfully completing a given project. You start off with one R&D project slot, which is analogous to an assignment slot, and the more levels you gain the more slots you unlock. Crafting is divided into 'schools', each of which levels up independently and contains projects relevant to a given type of technology. Each school contains several different types of project which require different doffs. One important aspect is that you can use only the quality of doff that is specified by the project, not a higher-grade one. This means you'll need some white doffs in your roster to do the lower-level projects.
