There are dozens of DR whine threads up right now, so decided to post my own. Look at the OP and the pubbie responses...either they ignored my OP completely or, for them, absolutely no red flags went up while reading it. I'm almost hoping it's the former because otherwise its kind of loving depressing.

  • Base turn rate: 7 degrees per second
  • Can load Dual Cannons
Why do they even bother restricting cannons anymore if they're just going to let all new ships use them, no matter how slowly they turn?

Asimo

To be honest, Cryptic hasn't really restricted cannons much lately. Basically the only new ships that don't use them these days are pure non-battle cruisers. Even all the item ships can slap them on. :shrug:

Also looks like a complete redesign for the ship too. Which is good, the current in-game model is a bit... eh. Looks pretty decent though. It's no Recluse, but the boff layout's pretty good, four tac consoles is hard to complain about, and it's pretty nimble by carrier standards. Considering it's T6 and free this is actually a pretty drat good ship. Only real downside is the Frigates don't seem very exciting.

That's what I mean. They're not restricting them anymore, so why bother having the restriction at all? Just get rid of it altogether and let us laugh at more people sticking DHCs on the slowest ships around.

Because knowing Cryptic, if they tried to give old cruisers dual cannon access it would probably delete all your dilithium or make all your bridge officers into bajorans or something.

Patch notes for tomorrow/today

"The dance emote triggered by use of a Nerve Tonic will now persist for a full 60 seconds unless manually turned off.

The dance is no longer cancelled by movement or nearby Subspace Party Amplifiers.
Combat still cancels the effect."

Countdown to ERPist rejoicing just to realize that fire extinguishers and body blocking still work fine.

Don't have a link handy, but already saw a handful of complaints about it being a nerf because it no longer lasts indefinitely until cancelled. :ughh:

For those not following the furry wankbait thread:

quote:

I have a feeling my understanding of what a Troll is might be out-of-date, as it is suppose to be a witty, pithy or sarcastic retort to the subject at hand where the entire point is you encapsulate the mocking tone either within a single post or as a series of responses where you PROGRESS to ever more increasingly ridiculous levels until it is obvious that you are only joking.

What I see in this thread is not Trolling, it is a collection of personal attacks, thread hijacking and abusive behaviour that IF what you say is true is somehow getting a free pass because what eventually someone would've posted J/K

That is frankly not acceptable behaviour, there is a clear difference between being funny and being abusive; and to see that in Star Trek forums of all places. Should be bloody ashamed of yourselves.

Yeah, they've been stable for a while. Lobi ships really don't have big price changes over time, since the supply is effectively constant; if they raise too high, people just buy more of them to sell from the lobi store. They tend to follow wider scale exchange trends.

New ship is a sci heavy carrier. The old ships are also back with the new 1 race to get alt discount. The Breen Raider is still crazy good if you've got alts that don't have it.

Two minutes.

The first couple of times you do it, expect it to take more than 2 minutes. Once you get the hang of it, yeah, it'll be about 2mins. Here's a few pointers:
-The countdown at the start is bugged and you can start running before it's done.
-If you lose control either do a combat roll or let go of the direction keys and jump either will put you at a dead stop and keep you from sliding out of bounds and getting disqualified.
-You can also use shooter mode or hold both mouse buttons to steer with the mouse which will let you take corners really well.

Undine Counter-command suit also makes it trivially easy. Thanks to the speed boost after a roll.

Also, don't worry about your speed too much. By the end of the event you'll be running it as fast as you can just to get it finished, but it's pretty difficult to run the race so slowly that you lose to the npc.

While you're hanging around in there, you definitely want to run the PVP race to start getting winter epohhs. Just switch to a low population map a few minutes before the race starts if you need fewer competitors. Though the race was so much better before cryptic fixed the shortcut.
