Alright, it's a bit difficult to get a long term help discussion on the chat due to things happening in-game and whatnot, so I figure I should just bring it here as a more permanent means to refer to. In the spirit of living up to all the donations I just got after coming back to the game after a couple years, I felt a need to make it worthwhile, and I'm afraid I just don't cut it. However, I'm not entirely certain of my issue with not hangin' well even with pubbies in terms of DPS and survivability, though I do have a few theories. As of now, I'm running my main (Tac Fed, L60) with an Astika, with the current loadout of 5x fore, 3x aft tetryon array purple mk xii's (imperfect mods, but at least one Dmg/CrtD on each), the appropriate tac consoles (3 purple mk xii, 1 green mk x), a plasmonic leech for a sci console, a blue neutronium mk x and assault mode relay for eng consoles, obliesk warp core and the aegis set for the rest. My boff layout goes LtC Tac = Tac Team I, FAW II, Omega I Lt Eng = EPTS I, EPTW II Cmd Eng = EPTS I, EPTW II, Eng Team III, DEM III Lt Sci = Haz I, TSS II Lt Univ (Tac) = Tac Team I, FAW II My spacebar macro is the normal (FireAll + all powers in trays 7 and 8) minus distribute shields (per suggestion), and everything is situated as necessary. The macro seems to function fine with regard to tray powers as they all run as they should. Lastly, my captain skill tree is all-but slightly off the standard goon build (accidentally sunk a couple points in places I shouldn't, but nothing critical), and I have the power settings to the max on weapons and shields at half. To me, and others that have looked at the setup, this should be melting things. However, I am at a loss, as I go into a standard ISA and end up on the bottom DPS wise every time and have still from time to time died in one. It's not a good look. I've noticed a similar issue with my other high-end toon (L51 Eng, using a Galor in a very similar manner though not nearly as tricked out), so it really seems like it's something I'm doing wrong rather than my build. I have noticed this much, however. On my Astika, I'll watch the weapon status box as I fight and notice a consistent issue: not all beams seem to fire. At least, as far as I can tell. It's not an issue of not facing the right way, as all will show as possibly active, but when the fire all goes off, it only seems to do so for the first 2-4 beams, and the rest only look like they're being triggered, but never actually do. No cooldowns, no firing countdown, nothing. This is also pretty consistently demonstrated visually, as I rarely see more than 4 beams come off my ship unless I'm in the middle of FAW. This did not seem to be an issue before when I was in my standard Adv Escort with DHC/Turret, as I would definitely see everything fire there with no issue. However, that was a terrible ship and apparently DHC/Turret is nowhere near the powerhouse it used to be back before I stopped playing. Frankly, I'm at a loss. I know I don't exactly have the amazing gear to be able to keep up with the big boys when they show, but being unable to keep up with anyone in a given STF, both in survivability AND in DPS makes me wonder what I could be doing incorrectly, or what setting I may have overlooked that could fix whatever's going on with my beams. Any advice?

I'm not skillful enough to critique your BOFFs worth a drat, but your equipment sounds pretty severely outdated and is at least one source of your woes.

Did you right-click your weapon icons to turn them green to make them auto-fire? Also did you set your power settings to 100/50/25/25 (or similar)?

Power settings are 100/50/25/25, yes. I'll check the auto-fire thing when I get home, though. That might be the issue. Should they be green or not?

Though they should just have the real pilot ships unlock a starship trait or whatever that you can slot to give the pilot-lite ships the same package.

The Kor is nice and flexible, same slotting as the Tempest, minus an aft slot and the butt cannon. The Valiant seems kinda blah compared to the Phantom or Pilot Escorts. And the Malem looks really solid. Not a bad pack.

This is you're biggest issue. Enemy HP scales up fast after 50 and your weapons damage doesn't unless you get to 14. If you have mods you can live with get those beams to 14. Then work on getting the omega and romulan rep consoles and vulnerability locator tac consoles from the fleet spire. Your boffs seem okay for a "too poor to afford doffs" build. Investing in some damage control engineers will clean up your eng skills nicely for not very much money.

It pushed my progress counter to 10/10 and no subsequent mission is showing up. Again, did not receive my 2 spec points. Maybe romulans are just hosed? e: I am at the spec point cap if that matters, but I assumed they would show up in a box anyway. Mondian fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Nov 4, 2015 |

After checking it out, the auto-fire thing seems to be the problem I was having. At least, as far as the ambush could tell disappearing just as quickly as spawning. Ran ISA a couple times. First run was great (finished with 9 mins left on the clock, even), second run I died twice, but I blame the team more than anything 'cause I was getting aggro up the rear end all the time and I'm pretty sure I did more damage than the rest of the team put together, so...  Lagomorphic posted:vulnerability locator tac consoles from the fleet spire. So the weapon damage boosters aren't the end-all, be-all of tac consoles? Or is that a one-off kinda thing?

Vuln consoles boost weapon damage too. Might as well go with +beam spire consoles since the drop in damage is (for anyone not super DPS  ) negligible, and that means you can rainbow your heart out.Actually, does +beam still apply to the science plasma consoles?

As far as I am aware, +beam does not affect embassy plasma consoles anymore. However, for new people I recommend using +beam spire tac consoles. You can change your weapon loadout whenever you like without impacting your precious deeps much, or run all the colors and rainbowboat.

Yeah this or just go with +AP and just stick to good ol' antiproton. Upgrade costs have made the whole sidegradeing thing much less attractive anyways.

Sorry guys for getting completely off topic, but what's the music playing in that exploding sollvax video in the OP? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tezVVVSdQLw Shazam has lead me to this album: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013PMZ9A/ref=dm_ws_sp_ps_dp But that version is full of gunfire in the background while the one in the video is clean. I just wanna sample it, so looking for a decent source. Can't find anything on discogs.com

So I used my 3 free keys and got the space trait Self-Modulating Fire - critical hits can give you a 50% shield pen buff for 10 seconds. 45 sec cooldown. This is crap and I should sell right?

Well my spacebar.txt bind is somehow broken, which of course means the game is unplayable until I figure out how to fix it because gently caress actually managing all those skills. Tried unbinding and reloading the bind file but that didn't fix it.

Hey! This will make me look bad; I somehow had show file extensions turned off in file manager and renamed my bind file bind.txt. But since extensions were hidden, it was bind.txt.txt. I have no idea if this is relevant, but I just don't want anyone else to have to suffer.

Make sure you're in a space map like ESD orbit when you load the file as well or it'll just gently caress up your ground binds.
