More seriously, the playable Talaxian thing really really stinks of something that would have been in at release and part of the advertising (maybe to go alongside a lifetime sub sale?), but wasn't ready in time. It's another sign (along with the assortment of high profile items with broken upgrades, like the assimilated console) that the whole expansion was horribly rushed out the door by PWE. Overall though, the patch looks pretty good. Smoothing off a lot of rough edges. Also... MikeJF posted:YESS my Antiproton DBB ship is gonna be kickass.

quote:Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array from the Mission Reward for "Sphere of Influence": So now we can fill a 5/3 setup(Some cruisers) or 3/3(Science vessels, carriers) with full beams(Given the Kinetic Cutter as No.3)? Hum. Beam Banks will finally see some use. Of course, it'd leave you to go with 'Beam' damage rather than energy type, but I can imagine that's a small price to pay for full-frontal assault. I guess it'd depend on the ship.

DBB builds were already surprisingly potent, and the main reason to not use them was being unable to make use of every rear slot. You could get away with throwing in a torpedo or the like that gave an energy type damage/crit damage bonus, but now you can actually use a full set on anything with 3 or less in the back assuming it's not some five-turn space brick. And it's hard to go wrong with antiproton. Also,  Pulsewave TR-116 for free, huh? Cryptic's gotta be desperate for subs.

Wait is this saying you can fit the reward Omni beam, and a crafted omni beam? 'Cause it's not letting me do that. ...unless maybe it's because the "Ancient" beam I have is upgraded, and the reclassification process didn't recognize it.

faxmachine posted:* A small number of players were using an exploit that allowed them to abuse a Duty Officer mission which allowed them to turn in Contraband in exchange for dilithium by using multiple characters on an account to turn in Contraband. This mission has now been replaced by a new Duty Officer mission that rewards a marks package containing 10 marks of the player's choice. I have 41 alts for turning in contra. That isn't funny.

So in the month I've been away from sto playing the uber goon drama shitfucked new Korean mmo archeage (which is really fun), I lost almost billion ec in net worth from Nicor prices making GBS threads the bed. But, I also spent a good hour getting my Brel up to speed and it shits on absolutely everything I've found in the mostly empty kerrat now. Epic t14 torps, tac consoles, UR mk14 unis, it's a beast. There always seem to be a few Feds in kerrat trying to farm the mobs, and I can always gank all of them over and over so far. My crtdx4 photon torps crit for as much as 40k each on exposed hull. Is xean still around? Is there still contamination in quarks? I need to go sidle up to pretty ladies again.

I haven't done it in ages, like since jkname got banned and I became disillusioned with the game, but I was saving the dil for promo packs which yielded a pretty nice profit, like 50% I think. What does cat food cost now and what is the dil/zen? I used to get 3 rotations in pretty regularly for like 240k refined dil per day. Took like 10 or 15 mins to cycle all the toons if I remember right.

Yes and my god yes. Xean is caught up in leveling his army of alts just as much as any other pubbie, so he doesn't seem to be around much in ESD. But he's still chatty in his little hugbox channel. Quarks continues to get worse and worse, especially with the new body sliders that basically allow female characters to look pregnant. There's been some blatant pedophilia recently. Look out for a tiny white orion with all sliders set to minimum if you're ever there late night. No chat logs to link, since they come into quarks, walk around a bit and leave whenever I or another goon is around. If you're lucky he'll run his jailbait character around yours a few times before leaving.

I haven't logged in for a couple days so I didn't notice XP gain getting nerfed again. Stumbled across this post: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1279691 "Normal Difficulty: Before patch Kazon carrier 316 XP, after patch 253 XP, please check and confirm reduction. EDIT: Advanced difficulty, Kazon carrier is now 316 XP, same as normal was prepatch. EDIT2: Elite Kazon carrier give 504 XP, same as before iirc." Doesn't seem like much (I probably would never have noticed).

So not only can you not get delta marks from Mirror but the advanced version fails if you let the station get to 0%, apparently. Oh, and on normal you can clear out all the rifts without them constantly respawning again and sit around with gently caress all to do.

Literally every single omni-directional beam array on the exchange has a [dmg] tag, in every beam type. Guess I gotta make my own if I want otherwise?
