How does the new battleground compare to the old one?

Is there a new ground battlezone too, where, perhaps, since its mirror universe you now fight alongside trexes with laser gatlings strapped to their heads?

I wish, right now it's only the space one. Though Mirror Voth would be kinda interesting. Their ships will look like butt plugs instead of Rabbit vibrators.

Especially since they already gave that shitboat away a couple years ago and there probably aren't many new Klingons that aren't Orion ERPers.

Who cares, free Excelsiors and a discount on the fleet version. :toot:

Do you like ships?

Of course you like ships, it's just what you'll need with the new Admiral system around the corner!

How about getting all of these ships?Until the end of this month (oct 31st) I will be holding a contest to find the most :psypop: pubby you can find. This can be either by their outfit, content of their bio or through their actions or chatter; something that makes the pubby you found the most unnerving and creepiest of Halloween monsters.

Entries can be in the form of screenshots or logs, and just post them in this thread so I can see them.

Let the one with the worst pubby win!


(if you're interested in some science ships you can check out my writing or screenshots contests)


EDIT: And make it something new, don't rehash old chat logs or screenshots we've all seen ages ago.
This is still in effect if anyone wants to submit anything. Last submission date is at the end of this month.

Adventure.Cat is off the table.

You mean the one were a certain pubbie found pony porn pics, posted them on an article, then claimed that makes the author a brony?

The same one one who has had the obsessive attitude of trying to start goon drama, with the same stale approach that nobody cared about, minus trying to pull others in and dragging real world info on the people he wants to start stuff with in to the game, just to get some sort of reaction or recognition after not getting one for 8 months by now?

And all of this over a bad Star Trek game they claim to not play, but log in to to slot bad projects on the starbase to mess with goons, and otherwise just whines about the game?

Creepy and desperate for attention, he gets my nomination for pubbie of the year.

Either that or Mysteena, because that one is at least crazy and funny.

Somehow Cryptic managed to gently caress up rewards in general, I've been doing stuff and getting less or flat out no rewards for it. Kind of kills what was left of my motivation to play at all.

They threw some minimum damage requirement to get battlezone rewards that is apparently hosed to high heaven. I suspect it's something like "at least 10% of total damage" or whatever and nobody stopped to think of what happens when 11+ players are fighting at a node because their QA is poo poo.

Non-joined trills also have spots, but they belong in the caves like the loving troglodytes they are.

So, I came back. I played through Sunrise and the first new DS9 mission, and had a reasonably decent time, although ground combat still kinda blows.

(I had no EC left, and my kit had mysteriously become some weird modular thing, so I raided the Dental bank for white kit modules - thanks, Dental!)

The level 60 token pleased me, and hooray Excelsior! One of these days I'll be able to afford the Fleet version...

This brings me to my question, though: What ground and space sets should I be shooting for in the current meta? I'm playing Fed Tactical in a T6 Intel Cruiser.

For those of you who play Armada 3, I've discovered that it's only when they're AI that the Borg are completely BS, the AI borg get special researches that make them far more obnoxious. The player Borg are properly balanced for MP.

Ask in chat for someone to donate a set of weapons for you (crafters throw out tons of non-perfect weapons which would be fine for you), or let me know what type you'd like and I'll get try to get you some tonight. I'd work on getting iconian rep first, because the iconian space set is pretty nice and it's a 4-piece which doesn't require running a stupid torpedo. For tac consoles you'll want the spire ones from the fleet, and for sci consoles the plasma ones from the fleet embassy are your best bet. I usually fill my eng consoles with universals, but you might not have many of those yet. Maybe one of the richer players will donate a plasmonic leech console if you enforce enough homosexual overtones.

TL;DR: Work on iconian rep and fleet credits. Oh, and start saving your dil because upgrading all that stuff will be expensive.

Universals are tier 2 rep though, that takes like 5 days to reach so getting those is easy. You said you have the intel cruiser, if you have the escort max it out, that trait is gold and makes everything better. Also if you don't have them there's a bunch of omnidirectionals you can get from doing missions.
