Talaxian Scientist is pretty much the best combination right now.

Question on the talaxian race. One of their traits is a chance for free r&d when a mob is at 10% hull. How often do you even proc that? I haven't played since dr was released, so I haven't experienced the hp changes, but I don't remember an enemy ship hovering at 10% hull. It was usually 50+% and then dead.

Post 50 that is pretty common, and the voth have oh poo poo shields that make them immune to everything, so yeah it will occur much more.

Yeah, apparently they broke even more poo poo when they noticed the STF was pumping out 7200 dil per run. Its back up, kinda Over/Under on when the Voyager patch finally pushes STO under ? (or Paramount pulls their license). I'm going 1 year.

The question is whether it's still printing as much money though. I'm sure they made a boatload in presales of the big expansion pack thing, but the playerbase is down after all the bullshit pulled. Well, it's hard to say the exact population; queues are way way down but overall population may be a little up, main problem is pop was hugely increased post-LoR and that hasn't happened here. I mean I doubt the game will die soon, but it really comes down to whether PWE bleeds it dry short term or are smart enough to let Cryptic keep growing it.

Can't finish undine battlezone because half the team drops and the npcs suddenly overwhelm. Even just changing outfits at the tailor is proving impossible.

Doing good things increases population and doing Neelix doesn't?

I don't understand why Cryptic, instead of making some sort of Borg arc, playing perhaps an assimilated Borg or something like that chose Talaxians.

Nessus posted:There was, evidently, a poll. And Voyager poo poo won. Yeah, but a borg arc could've counted as Voyager poo poo too. Although quite frankly I think the game's kinda done the borg to death anyway. They've turned them into bigger wusses than Voyager did. OH WHAT'S THAT A CUBE *pew pew* NOT A PROBLEM. It still baffles me they didn't use popular aliens like the Krenim for the Voyager stuff.

If they included Krenim, they'd be obligated to delete your character the moment he hit 60.

Would you end up getting more damage putting an omni beam in the back of a DHC/Turret ship, despite being unaffected by rapidfire? I mean the plain damage over a turret is quite a significant hike.

I haven't actually run a parse, but my instincts say the loss of damage from the cannon skills would make it not worth the effort. Now, if you were using nothing but Surgical Strikes...

One omni replacing a turret is a net gain. Even more if you have an extra tac ensign for overload 1. Even the cutting beam is a net gain once you factor in hits to bare hull.

I mean the plain damage over a turret is quite a significant hike. I have the cutting beam and the omni on my scourge. It certainly seems to be fine and the biggest plus for me is it points a line at my current target which makes keeping the cannons pointed the right way easier in swarms when the target flips around.

In the middle of a Mirror Invasion where it seemed like I was the only one staying alive or doing any kind of damage, I found the worst pubbie build. That thing on the bottom left is a Hargh'Peng torpedo, in case anybody's wondering. First time I ever had the station get shut down in that mission, too.

Funny you should say that, meet Carson@dpro79:  Mixed damage types, mixed beams/turrets, low-level items, a Biofunction Monitor and two EPS Flow Regulators. I saw this guy in a Mirror Invasion, which means that somehow he managed to make it to level 50 while doing this kind of poo poo.
