So, which one of you has a spare Sheshar for sale? I was going to wait a bit to see if the price dropped, but I hadn't anticipated the fact that Cryptic murdered the game's player base so badly with DR* that they'd entirely vanish off the exchange while the promotion was still running. I could troll around trade channels looking for one but I'd rather give credits to a goon given the option. Just toss @asimo an in-game mail if you're got an offer. *The "account protection" bullshit with keys/boxes bought with steam money that makes everything in them bound-to-account probably isn't helping any either.

Hello, I just started up with this game and rolled a federation alien engineer (the two friends that I plan on playing with already rolled tactics and science). However, the OP seems to indicate that engineers are kind of bad. Do they have worthwhile redeeming qualities, or should I just reroll tactics before I get too far in?

At this point starting up the game at all was maybe not the best choice. They're running this poo poo into the ground.

That said, as long as you don't mind ignoring that poo poo you can get some fun out of it. Engineer is actually quite fun on ground missions (chroniton mines absolutely trivialize any queue with a lot of melee enemies, for example), but they're weak enough at space stuff that yeah I'd reroll if you're not too far in yet. The main issues are that they're overloaded with healing (a well-built ship doesn't really need it in PVE), the rest of their abilities revolve around power levels (a non-issue in high-end endgame stuff at the moment), and they have absolutely no direct damage boosters (which scale crazily at the moment, and more damage is always good).

Yeah Tac Rom is the optimal choice at this point. You're going to want a few alts anyways and you should have 3 char slots so keep the engi if/when you do roll a new character.

The only ship that's really caught my fancy in a while was the Voth star destroyer, and that one just so I could make an alt to dress up like an Imperial. Unfortunately to have the thing work with all the bells and whistles you need two other ships, one of which is insanely rare, so that one's remaining an unfulfilled dream.

I think the volunteer job is starting to wear on him a bit, probably not been helped by the reaction to DR and the hordes voicing their anger in the forums.

Going by this thread and what I've seen on reddit I'm beginning to think only 3 or 4 people actually understand that game's systems and math, or at least took the time to do the math and the rest of us are just iterating on what they've passed along.

Now more accurate. You can out DPS most pubbies with an NX-01 if you know what you're doing so why put in the effort to min/max? I think I liked the game better when it was just Elite Taskforces between rounds of extinguishing perverts in Drozana, the Asian F2P Grind poo poo really hosed up what little game there was.

Cryptic really, really hosed up with the Elite->Advanced queue change and everyone knows it. Nobody wants to pug a queue where there's a not-zero chance of failing and getting jack poo poo for the time, and normal queues aren't worth the effort, so... everyone's stopped queueing entirely except for the handful of things that are "safe" and rewarding enough (CCA and BHE, pretty much). Whereas beforehand you had a dozen different queues you could do that would get some dilithium, some marks, and you could carry even the dumbest pug through them eventually. It's such a bizarre nerf in the expansion and with such an easy fix, and the fact Cryptic has studiously avoided talking about it or making efforts to change it makes it pretty clear it's some retarded mandate handed down from PWE for... some... reason or another. To slow down the grind? To encourage the sales of dilithium and item upgrades? Something. But the game's hosed for the majority of the playerbase until Cryptic somehow backs down on that, so whelp.

I don't like to doom and gloom but I run almost exclusively ground STFs and sitting with my window open much of the time there is like, only five people actually running a queue at a time. That may be because people are really busy with the winter event (?) Or people who play STO are dumb but those elite queues are dumb easy for anyone with just a jem'hadar set and some sense and very profitable. The Borg and arguably rhino station almost demand a TR unless you really know what you're doing (why not just buy a TR by that point though?) But TRs are so cheap they can be bought just running bug hunt like, eight times by this point and selling the salvage.
