I have to say, I don't like the design of the T6 Fed ships, but I like their hull texture. Gammatron 64 posted:Okay, those ships are pretty decent, I'll give you that.

Well the Vesta isn't a Cryptic design, it was made by someone for the the ST books. http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Vesta_class

Can someone give T'Troika@-Troika- the ability to slot fleet projects for NoP please? I'm on more than the other people who can do it and thus I can pop them up more efficiently. The NoP dil mine has no projects at the moment

How long does it usually take for someone to accept a dilithium for Zen trade? I'm trying to buy some Zen so I can buy some new poo poo (I'm kinda leaning towards the Wrath of Khan uniform), but I put the request up a few days ago and haven't seen if the seller accepted it or not.

The Khan uniforms usually end up free. Regarding the dil market, you're only going to get the zen if the buy order you have matches the current price of zen (172 dil per atm).

Asimo posted:It's a communal exchange so all the sales are aggregated, so it gravitates towards the lowest profitable price, and I'm pretty sure it's first-come first-sold. You'll probably need to cancel the order and settle for less, especially since the overall trend in the market the last few weeks has been an increasingly lovely dil>zen ration.

So if those screenshots of Delta Rising are any indication it looks like Talaxians and Ocampans are going to be a species in the new expansion. It even looks like Neelix might be making a return. Prepare yourselves for Archonex fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Aug 27, 2014 |

I'm a bit confused as to who owns and runs this game. Cryptic, ARC, perfect world? When I navigate the links at the website that looks like the real STO site I wind up in sites that are branded with any one of these names. The login I created at ARC seemed to let me log in to the game launcher but somehow not ARC's own website (claims my email address and username don't exist,) nor the perfect world support site. EDIT: My original username from years ago seems active, took me to a Cryptic STO Beta page...

Cryptic is the developer. Perfect World Entertainment(PWE) is the publisher and ARC is PWE's lovely Steam knockoff. Like Origin, but worse.

ARC is a platform that can be used to authenticate/install/play Cryptic (and other) games through. It was developed by Perfectworld in order to directly (not!!!) compete with Steam/Origin/etc other distribution platforms. Cryptic current owns and develops content for STO/NW/Champs. Perfectworld is responsible for the distribution & marketing side of Cryptic games.

Also Perfect World is absolutely incompetent at managing a website. There's a reason the usual advice to anyone who actually wants to give them money is "download the game through Steam, do transaction through steam wallet".

Make sure to check in at the Arcanis Arm and Khazan Clusters for the colonization chains they spit out fantastic doffs for hitting freighters. These are great, thanks. I was wondering if someone could give similar guidance on things a new level 50 should do, in terms of daily missions and longer term goals. I understand there are reputations to grind, dailies to bang out, a super rifle, but right now I feel accomplished if I keep my doffs busy and continue to do storyline missions. Goons - particularly devs - have been helpful and friendly in-game but even they have a tendency to use a lot of shorthand. fake edit: I got an email thanking me for using arc when I first started playing. I have a kdf tactical romulan - how the hell do I get and equip this alleged Khan outfit?

Asimo posted:This is way too much effort for me. Plop a bunch of alts in Beta Ursae, Eta Eridani, or Tau Dewa, grab what missions are available, the end. If you only have one or two klanks though it's probably better to do the grand tour though yeah. Yeah I don't maraud daily anymore so it's more of a semi-involved thing to do while I watch bad movies on netflix route. It's a really good route for newbies though since those cluster doffs really help fill out your marauding roster. Also expect the zen price to get even more stupid this weekend they mentioned a new ship being released this Thursday in that news post. Archonex posted:So if those screenshots of Delta Rising are any indication it looks like Talaxians and Ocampans are going to be a species in the new expansion. Morale officer confirmed as new doff type for season 10. Brownview posted:These are great, thanks. I would prioritize your reps since they take a long time to finish but it's mostly just letting projects complete passively while logged out. With the daily marks bonus it's pretty easy to keep all 5 reps advancing by just running 2 or 3 queues a day. Also just stick to doing the 20 hr project once a day and ignore the hourly. It'll take you a couple of extra days to finish but it'll cut the grinding needed in half. As for the shorthand just ask in chat about anything your not clear on. We'll probably rib you for not knowing it but we'll explain it to you and none actually gives a gently caress. Lagomorphic fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Brownview posted:These are great, thanks. The Dyson Sphere BattleZone is the most fun you'll have in the game, as far as ground combat goes. It spews out dil and dyson marks like a giant purple crystal geyser. Especially if you shoot each V-Rex boss once and run to the next one, since you get bonus credit for each of the bosses you damaged.
