So point a Scimitar at it, load up with 5 Torps and torp Boff skills/traits and go to town on it?

Most torps share a cooldown right?

Yeah, I think there's a 2s shared cooldown for torpedoes. Which is another big indirect nerf to them in general PVE content, but it's there to prevent huge alpha strikes.

Regarding torpedoes, are the Dyson Gravimetric ones with Torp Spread still the way to go? I remember when they first came out that that was an easy way to fill the screen with mini-Gravity Wells, but I don't know if it was changed or not since then.

Also of note is that completing the quest during the dilithium weekend nets you 75k ore instead of 50k. poo poo, I was so excited to finally complete the one from last time I didn't notice the dil weekend. e: Oh, you meant hold the crystal in the bank until the next dil weekend starts.

Especially with Torp Spread 3. You're just making GBS threads baby grav-wells all over the place. Unguided posted:poo poo, I was so excited to finally complete the one from last time I didn't notice the dil weekend. Hold the crystals, but you'll need to queue the rep project before the event ends (in three weeks). Complete the project during a dil weekend, and roll naked in all that unrefined dil, you sexy, sexy tribble.

hakimashou posted:An easy peasy way to do CCE is just to set up with some torpedos and hang out at about 9.5km from the entity and shoot in torps. Everybody gets third place, it's fancy talk for you lose. Only first and second actually mean anything.

I'm reading that the CE has a stupidly high resistance to energy weapons, should I convert my D'kora into a missile boat before going in, or will pumping enough phasers (six) still work?

Just go and shoot it with stuff. If you care about getting first or second you could convert to a torpedo boat but if not just go with whatever you've got.

Can a level 40 get in on that action? Also, I'm assuming that the fleet bank is okay to use with the "don't be a goonfucker" caveat? Does NoP have mumble? I didn't see it in the OP or the wiki.

MoraleHazard posted:Can a level 40 get in on that action? Yeah fleet bank rule is if you're going to actually use it take it. No one really cares about it unless you're cleaning out entire tabs and running to the exchange. There's no NoP mumble just the general goon mumble ask in chat for details.

I keep drifting out of range of the Crystalline Entity and not noticing because it's not like my weapons fire even renders in large fleet events these days, it's always just invisible.

its actually preferable not to place in CCE. If you place you get random vendor trash as a reward, if you dont place you get dil.

Tunicate posted:It seems Xean is violently against people giving out free stuff Your mistake was this: You didn't consult Xean first when asking. If he doesn't have absolute control over every single facet of his fleet/channel, then he loses it. If you need help and ask a question, then he needs to be the one to answer, and if someone else beats him to it, he will drone on and on, drowning out the other player's advice. I was kicked from his channel for asking people if they needed help. He sent me a PM saying: "Just because you are from a big and powerful fleet doesn't mean you own or have power in this channel." His self-labeled help channel also hates help, apparently.

I picked up the CCE patch today, managed to run one event and then the game promptly crashed twice as I tried to use the tailor. Oh Cryptic.

We're going on what, week 2 of daan2006 bitching about being misquoted? Seeing as how he reports people for wearing swimwear off Risa, I think it's safe to say he's been spamming PWE with forum tickets when he's not posting.

From what I've seen, his channel is less about help and more about him trying to impress people with stories/knowledge no one cares about. He spent a good hour recounting -- in minute, careful detail the entire myth of Theseus and the Minotaur because some pubbie made a (bad) joke about creating a minotaur toon in STO. Pubbies were going in his channel, asking for help, trying to change the subject, but he would not allow his story to be interrupted. Annoyed, some people openly mocked him, but he took it as "they're interested, keep going." Edit: Here is a description (written by him, naturally) of his Xtern1ty group: quote:Founded and led by literary artist Xean and a visionary community including Jacob, Matthew, Carl, Aaron, Rodrigo, Dillon and Xidia. A united global neighborhood with members from over 20 nations worldwide, we aim to advance understanding and fellowship through teamwork. Literary artist.

So it turns out my old 50 wasn't wiped as much as it was under an email I didn't think I used for any games. Christie@Sighence is ready to resume to adventures of the USS Loose Seal and probably get out of Starfleet Dental because she's still in that because it's that ancient. e: It's been about two years, give or take. I'll read up on what I can, but for now:  Does it matter for literally any reason, mechanic or story, what order I take these suckers in? They all just came up as I logged back in. ee: also someone validate Sighence on the wiki please so I can actually read up on these things.
