And space-mud like spintires. You should be able to plow through nebulas, kicking up filth. Come back to base with your ship coated in dried benzene. Get a car wash from green orions.

Truck nuts or go home.

Is there an up-to-date guide to Doff missions by sector?

Don't think so. Technically doffing is still broken due to all the missing missions after the sector maps were reworked.

Admirality is the new Doffing anyhow, since they can bottleneck it and make money off of it.

It's an idea. You can also ram 2 avengers to death in a row without losing your shields in a connie.

I'm waiting for 2.1 to get off the PTU and get to live before I play it again though.

Also I'm crotch kicking robots in MWO a lot :black101:

If we could somehow get in the same instance i'd love if you could fly my Space AC-130 up there so I could get footage of what it looks like on the receiving end.

Most of the time the ships dont render for me at 5km out, so I have to go 'prospecting' for targets by shooting a burst at each spawn point and then listing for the hit pings. I think they only show up on your targetting hud once someone gets in and it powers up.

A 2 man crew with one person calling targets would be pretty awesome. The pads are all numbered and its easy to keep track of which one is which from up there.

You're right. We should stop talking about things that are fun and instead talk about STO.

Ah STO. That delightful golden child prematurely birthed by Cryptic after being stomach punched by Atari then adopted by a Chinese corporation and put to work in a brick factory.

Is the wiki best ships list up to date? I kinda want to get 6000 zen before the sale ends, people are suggesting there's going to be a ship sale soon.

I'm thinking one of the tri-faction packs so that each of my guys has a t6 to fly.

No, it was written in the pre-T6 era. That's not to say the ships on there are bad now, far from it, it just doesn't take into account more recent releases.

The Recluse is still probably the best ship there is. In short, grab an Astika, the Intel escort and Presidio for the trait and you're good.

I think someone posted a short list of recommendations a couple of pages back.

If you're looking for ship traits then All Hands on Deck (from Tactical Command Battlecruisers) and Emergency Weapon Cycle (from Battle Cruiser/Heavy Warbird/Battlecruiser Bundle) are cross faction ships you should be looking for. Reciprocity (from Phantom Intel Escort) is a good one for feds and you can get it from the exchange for KDF and Romulans. There should be a short list with recommendations on the wiki.

If you're looking for something new to fly, then the t-5 romulan dreadnoughts remain good damage dealers (scimitar or the tulwar with damage boosting sci consoles), and the pilot ships offer a little different experience if you're ok with being a bit fragile.

It means it has seating to sue skills from the pilot specialization. There are Command and Intel ships also but Command is pretty poo poo, Intel has some good skills and Pilot is somewhere in the middle from what I hear, haven't really tested it myself.

They're a new class of escort that fly really fast and let you juke in one direction every few seconds. They are pretty awesome imo, I fly the Klingon Tac one on my main.

Basically they are an escort that let's you reposition your firing arc every few seconds, which is exactly what escorts needed.

I think he means the actual pilot escorts themselves with the pilot special maneuvers, not just ships with pilot seating.

Pilot escorts are the funnest ships in the game, btw. Little lightweight but WHEE BARREL ROLL.

These things. There's unfortunately no 6k cross-faction bundle last i checked though.

Personally I find them fun because they're fast and responsive, but if you want something more robust but slower you should look at the Battlecruisers or Command Battlecruisers.

Rep or fleet, all the way, something you can get a set of with the attributes you want on it. Unless you have a fuckton of money then it's crafting but if you did you wouldn't be asking. Or pick up suboptimal crafted weapons for cheap.

As long as it's all the same damage type and has good mods (CrtD, DMG or Pen) on it it doesn't matter all that much.
