Nothing gets tested properly because code gets loaded on the live server as soon as it compiles and doesn't crash the game.

The klingon version of this had better involve you torching the place in frustration and spiking Neelix's head on your bat'leth for daring to send you off on this bullshit quest. The old klingon tutorial/fetch quest was worse. At least the Talaxian fetch quest involves less npcs on a smaller map.

So I decided to do a 'reboot' of sorts of my main toon, but starting a new one I noticed the veteran rewards I've accumulated so far (was up to 200, maybe 300 when the game went ftp) don't show up on new characters. Instead the accolades screen shows the one for 100 days as being 'in progress'. Please don't tell me I have to resubscribe to get my snassy vest again? EDIT: Alright! apparently you don't unlock any unlocked veteran bonuses until you reach level 5. Zoinker fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Nov 1, 2014 |

I kinda wish I had an Orion toon. "Verna was born into a loving family on Orion. Daughter of an accountant, she grew up happily with her brothers and sisters and joined the KDF after a brief unsuccessful career in landscaping, graduating the Academy with third class honours and a specialisation in xenoetymology".

Which leaves her one of the few, the proud, the scientists...in an Empire that has issues with pure Science.

Subsystem Overload is also pretty incredible. If you spec into subsystem repair it minimizes the offline aspect (and ET immediately fixes the offline if necessary). But who doesn't want 160 weapons power?

So I finally gave up on trying to keep up with space clickies and set up a mega-keybind in the style of the Hilbert Guide that fires everything + shield rebalances + triggers everything on tray 10 whenever I hit space (I'll probably expand it to tray 9 and 10 soon because of the extra stuff my Obelisk-riding engineer has). I know it's not the most efficient, but before this I was basically this guy so anything should help. I set up something similar for ground that triggers everything in tray 10 when I hit N, but that's less from not being able to keep up than from cycling through the same 4 skills (bubble shield, medical generator, gun turret, gun drone) before every single combat.

It converts all weapon damage to phaser type while active, meaning that your tac consoles don't work (unless you're running a phaser ship). It should get even more overpowered when they finally fix that. Speaking of surgical strikes, how do you get Surgical Strikes III? Haven't payed much attention to the intel boffs until now, but I know its not at the skills trainer and the only intel boffs I know of are from the pack, the lobi store, or the white ones off the ESD vendor.

When you have enough points in the intel specialization tree, you can train intel skills. I'd assume it's in there.

And not one of the Intel boffs- not even the commons from the ESD vendor (prior to the last patch, I haven't checked since) -can be traded for training. Edit: just tested it and no, even the vendor commons are bound as both candidates and commissioned. FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Nov 2, 2014 |
