I should add that you really don't need a torp. Also the cutting beam goes on the back and replaces a beam array or turret, just in case that wasn't clear in anyway.

I wonder if we actually have enough power and/or drain resist that cruisers can go full energy, using the Kinetic Cutter for kinetic damage?

With the right equipment you easily can stay over 100+ wep power. (with great equipment you can almost never go below 125)

You do if you're either an engineer or you have the plasmonic leach console. A tac with plasmonic leach will hit like 115 at the lowest during FaW with weapon efficiency turned off and a steady 120+ with it on.

So while Xean rants and raves about the demon's we are, me, Zaichal, and Akulaz chose to give his fleetmates a helping hand.

We simply couldn't leave this poor, lost soul and his wife's character lost and hopeless after Xean attempted, without success, to contact his "friends" for 15 minutes to sort the invites out.

In the future, even with our constant muted status, we should try our best to help the victims suffering under Xean's persecution complex to get the things they need.

Other than parking my rear end near the Allied Spire, which seems to be the only place that has regular recruitment doff missions, is there another way to reliably get recruitment cxp?

It's the last one I need to finish on my main and it's taking forever.

dismiss doffs or degrind doffs for tons of recruitment cxp

if you want to blow money, just get some cheap purples and grind them down to whites then dismiss the whites.

to make profit, degind them down to whites and sell the whites.

either way you'll get a great deal of recruitment cxp

It's 'cos Earth's on the Alpha/Beta border and they messed up by putting Sol at the far left of Fed space.

Like others have said, it's incoherent as Hell to begin with and STO hasn't made it any clearer. Basically the entire blue blob on the map, including the parts that aren't covered in actual in-game sectors, is the Federation. But then you have baffling poo poo like Defari space twisting across the map in a non-Euclidean fashion (especially obvious if you're doing things Klingon side) and the Borg sectors that are connected only through transwarp gates but are still filled with star systems that'd be Federation or Gorn space.

Best advice is to not think about it. In fact that applies to a lot of STO.

Deferi space sits 'above' the point that Federation/Klingon/Cardassian space meet.

Okay guys :siren:COMPETITION TIME!:siren:

What with the crystalline entity event and pubbies being terrible at it I thought we could have a little challenge to see who can find the most stacks of Re-Crystalize! Just post a screenshot in the thread, highest amount wins.

Starting bid is 178 (it actually got to 180 but I didn't screen that)


Prize: 10 promotional bug ship doff packs.

End date: when the event finishes, September 11th :911:

Good hunting!



the entity was doing over 90,000 damage per shot, killing anyone within 10km instantly

pretty much everybody left

e: yes, that is 605 stacks
e2: pubbies cried

I hate to bitch, but the thing about lobi consoles not leveling past 50 is hosed up. I bought two last week thinking it'd be a safe bet since they're supposed to be infinitely leveling. I haven't been negative about the whole T6 thing, but that one pushes me pretty far into the "gently caress this" zone.

Don't worry, they're planning on explaining how they'll remain usable during 51-60 soon.

The explanation is almost certainly going to be 'lol pay us more lobi/zen/dilithium to upgrade your console from infinity to infinity51-60'

Wait, when did this get announced? Does this include infinity lobi weapons? And other infinity weapons?
