Does the S1 TNG Uniform unlock include Worf's dumb sash? I stupidly deleted a character that had it and I've been kicking myself ever since.

Some sperg going apeshit on me for my super serious ship, Libertys Ballgag. It was comical, he was seriously pissed about my fun dick-off build, but something about the paintjob and name of "Libertys Ballgag" just set this fucker off. When he started harassing my wife it stopped being mildly funny, became hilarious and a bit creepy too.

We need to be aware of Bootcamp. It is coming for us all.

The official bootcamp coaches are a joke and if this is how they're abusing their official capacity then I think we need to make a complaint to Cryptic about their behaviour, as it's only going to reflect badly on the company andahahahahaha sorry. Like this precious snowflake actually has the ability to blacklist entire fleets from official Cryptic events. Maybe we should use this as an excuse to beat them in pvp some more until he apologises.

Stand it like a man... and give some back
Let me preface by saying that I'm one of the least skilled players in Dental/NoP, I'm flying a Scim that is not properly equipped, and I'm in a house that is two blocks away from a street festival that attracts drunks and loud noises.

I just got out if a CCE where me and two other toons were apparently the only ones that had any sort of clue about what needed to happen to complete the mission. None of the fragments were managed so a death zone appeared which instantly blipped the lower level ships. I dealt with it by flying a 5km circle around the entity and spamming FAW. Took a good 15 mins to get from the last pulse to death.

Are pubbies really that much worse than I am? Also, am I the only one that ran CC on normal a few times to understand how it worked ?

I've had one queue where the entity's health deteriorated like butter in the sun followed by one where I was drawing aggro in my crappy alt Ambassador. But then, I was flying alone and when you fly alone you fly with Hitler Xtern1ty.

Serious answer: 10 people pugs are a lottery game. Most 5 people queues have for a long long time been made up of people who have or found no fleetmates or channel people to group up with and run a private queue, so they mostly suck. And even there are surprises sometimes.

10 people queues like CCE are usually too big for private queues and with the current event pretty much nobody is running them, so you can find players of every quality in the public ones. In general, I'd say that the quality of players in CCE has gone noticably up compared to last year (or even to when the revamped entity was first released; that was a terrible, terrible time). It's just that you always have 1-2 newbies coasting by in any battle not understanding what they do, and when they outnumber the competent people (or the 1-2 very competent people aren't in the queue) it's very very noticeable.

I want a piece of that action. I came out of a fleet of hermit grinders that were no help with anything. So this is with a build I sorted out through a lot of expensive trial and error. I didn't really get the Dual beam builds before I got Wiki access the other day. I'm kind of self conscious about playing with people in Dental who have a clue, since I don't know how bad I suck.



I have managed to pull off 19K DPS with this build (Once). It tends to run mostly between 10 and 15. This is just the last game I played while half asleep, and I cleaned out the log file so it's the only one I have to show.

Oh, for context...



The general public sucks at 5AM even compared to me.
