Ludicro posted:Yes it is essentially the first good Galaxy class ship in the game, and as far as a free ship goes its quite welcome. That's because they're simple. There's no extra dongles or doodads that serve no purpose but to clutter up the design in an effort to look cool. It's like that dude who does the art for final fantasy that just puts belts on everything.

Akira and Steamrunner are really the only non-awful designs since the Galaxy. Why they designed Voyager to look like a flying poo poo trowel is beyond me. Star Trek is broken.

Quite partial to the Sovereign myself, at least before they stuck loads of extra bits on it for Nemesis. On another note, why is chadhughes145 aka the guy who did a really bad anti-Dental song with his band in gooneration and NoP?

The Sovereign has a generally nice layout with awful details. All those little angles and hard edgesAsimo posted:More to the point, they had to actually build them for the set models so every detail and angle was important and done by professional artists and modelers. I think it was less about the physically building and more about the fact that they were done by really good designers over an extensive design process. STO doesn't exactly have a Probert. (Hell, Probert made a fair few designs that had to be compromised on because they were physically impossible to machine. These days we'd easily do it in CG) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Oct 19, 2015 |

Three just doesn't do it for me anymore. Really, the 4 nacelles could just come off and follow me, I'd be happy. U.S.S. FANFIC!!!!

Really, the 4 nacelles could just come off and follow me, I'd be happy. The Abominator Class ship Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints. (Didn't that ship do that? It fell apart into I think eight different slaved sub-elements. But it makes more sense when Culture ships do it.)

So I haven't played this in a couple years or so (shortly after they added Romulans as a faction) has much changed since? Is it worth coming back to see any new content? I liked flying around and some of the ground missions were neat.

g0del posted:They added 10 more levels. The new missions generally require you to be level 60 and cryptic spent the last year nerfing any efficient way to gain XP, so have fun. You might want to wait until the new season comes out on the 27th, because they're fixing the new missions to give a better leveling experience. Getting to 60 will still take way longer than it should but at least you can do it by running episodes instead of grinding time-gated STFs. Thanks for the info. As far as ships and equipment: Useless how? Power creep or some other change that makes them useless. In other news, boy I have no idea what all these space wizard buttons do anymore.

If you're coming back after a hiatus, it might be a good idea to create a new character to relearn the mechanics. Depending on how long you've been gone, you've probably missed revamps to the early mission arcs, the Romulan arc and soon the Cardassian arc. S11 could be a good time to make an alt? Maybe?

^^I've never understood this. It's a game on the internet. The place with the largest collection of porn in human history, much of it free. Why do they need to make uncanny valley bikini babes?DisposableHero posted:Thanks for the info. As far as ships and equipment: Useless how? Power creep or some other change that makes them useless. If you don't want to start a new char, your best bet is to start working on the newer reputations, and ask in chat about ships/gear. [sub]*Ok, there are a few exceptions. Just ask in chat if you're curious. g0del fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Oct 19, 2015 |

g0del posted:I was exaggerating slightly. But the problem is a combination of mudflation and the extra 10 levels added to the game. When you left, end-game ships were T5. Now end-game ships are T6. If you had a decent T5 ship it'll still work, it's just not as good as the T6 ships*. When you left, top-tier gear was Mk XII and very-rare. Now they've added MK XIII and XIV, and ultra-rare and epic rarities. There's an upgrade system to upgrade your old equipment, which was designed to be very expensive and hide as much as possible the true cost of your equipment. It basically went from the most super casual friendly MMO to a extreme grind mmo with all the casual stripped out since they made the level grinding even harder now from what it used to be. You actually used to be able to get from 1 to 50 in 8 hours but you really cant do that anymore. I did that with two of my romulan characters and hate myself for that.

You can still get from 1-50 relatively quickly. Going from 50-60 will make you want to gently caress off and do something else.

On the upside the Badlands space battlezone is hitting with S11 and if it's even half as good as the Undine one then it will be fun for a few weeks.

bad changes: everything in dr good changes (undoing DR poo poo): no more insta-fail advanced stfs, spec points from FEs, admiralty system for passive xp gain, making iconian missions lv 54 or 55 so you dont run out of missions while leveling anymore. Still there: expensive to upgrade to best in slot guns/equip, t6 ships still 3k zen each unless you buy them when they first come out

DonDoodles posted:Catstarsto and Ashkrirk are both right-wing conservatives and furries in denial. They are always found in the same threads posting stupid poo poo about cats back and forth, but if you call one a furry, they get defensive as poo poo about it. I think Catstar even has a deviantart that's completely full of Catian poo poo (some of it NSFW). Ashkrirk also made some pretty messed up comments about LGBTQ and Trendy during that whole Bluegeek homophobe drama, but I don't think he caught any punishment for it because, well, it was a complete shitshow.

This got relayed to me by another goon:STO Pubby Bio posted:Zoelle liberated herself at a young age and became the leader of group of liberated Orion slaves. Zoelle is strong willed and does not take no for an answer. Zoelle uses her "charm" to get what she wants. When this does not work she uses brute force. Zoelle is an expert at pleasuring both males and females and used this ability to further her career in the KDF, often seducing a Klingon captains wife before going after her mate. In Orion fashion she then has used blackmail and group sex to get what she wants. DonDoodles posted:Edit: found his deviantart and this: a picture of his alias "catstarso" dancing with M'ress in a wedding dress. Perfectly normal stuff happening here. He used to have stories about how his character took over the Enterprise D after Picard, but I think he removed them after people started reading and commenting on them as he made his petition to be an NPC.

fakemirage posted:If "Adventure.Cat" sounds familiar, it's the furry that wanted his character as an NPC in STO (as previously discussed here). quote:CatStar is a drama/action based character. Though he uses a dry wit in some situations, hes more of a space opera hero, not a lolcat. Its why i worked for nearly a year to get CBS to endorse my book, I wanted him to become canon. In the end they changed their minds and the book is now a free fanfic on Deviant Art since it lost its licence to be sold. Yeah, they 'changed their mind' and he only 'lost' the licence rather than was roundly ignored as a crazy person. Someone with more tolerance than I go read his deviantart furry fanfic and report back with quotes.
