 Also after much analysis of the new lockbox I think I've narrowed down the most desirable thing: The Tholian escort (because I can slap a torp build on it without blinking). Fortunately they're only 4-5 mil on the exchange so I was able to get everything I wanted with zero fuss  Haven't upgraded it to T-5U though. I'll worry about that when I can be bothered getting another token.

They recycle text for these announcements all the time so you get poo poo like this constantly. That was originally written for a M-F thing so they didn't account for taking sunday off when they wrote it. You'd think they'd have a copy editor for it but this is game that doesn't have playtesters so...

They can't do that because they don't have the rights. Which is why the Gateway is a piece of poo poo that was never finished.

If we're going to talk about making STO something resembling actual fun for people besides broken star trek fans like most of us, then what should really happen is Starfleet Command 4 with STO's space combat and massively rebalanced boff powers. Because the space shooting in this game is actually pretty loving good, once you get past the layers of F2P bullshit.

STO's space combat is poo poo. Everyone just thinks it's good because we haven't had a good capital ship combat game in over a decade. The fact that every ability can be put on a macro and you can mash your spacebar to victory isn't good at all.

Every time I think about it, I still think one of the major issues with STO's space combat is that your bridge officers should have 1 activated ability each and then have 2 or 3 passive abilities. Then they can actually design around that and try to make the activated abilities be interesting. The other major major issue is that STO typically throws 4 or 5 ships at you instead of having 1 or 2 more powerful ships. Instead of a interesting ship battle it's just FAW at the entire group. Shield rebalancing is also too effective which makes movement much more trivial than it should be. note: these ideas are probably terrible though.

You missed the part about "massive rebalances" in there. The flying around and weapon arc aspects are fine. Equipping different officers of different types for different occasions is fine (though none of us do that.) The powers and their use is not fine. So, rebalancing. The core mechanics of the space game are pretty much the only good thing in STO, have been for a while, and are also pretty much the only thing goons agree on being good. I'd hesitate to call it capital ship combat in the slightest though. Then again, I'd hesitate to call Starfleet Command capship combat either.

Knowing where it comes from and where those games have been going in the past it will be just as abusive, making you pay for every single fleet and maybe even special hero ships.

The space combat in Elite Dangerous is really loving good. But a minimum amount of basic motor coordination is required so I can see why a lot of STO pubbies might never go near it. I guess space combat in Star Citizen might be ok too but we'll worry about that in another couple years.

All those drab gray textures were are so terrible. Some are, some aren't. Dreadnought looks slicker, but I think FS's gameplay is better right now. They'll meet in the middle by release. Though Dreadnought has some really wonky flight model issues, far wonkier than FS's.

So, I did the featured episode and remember getting the 400 tokens among my rewards, but I don't seem to be able to apply them towards the krenim ship and don't see them anywhere in my inventory. Is this a thing people are dealing with?

Mine was bugged the first couple of days and finally I found my original 400 vouchers in the overflow when it started working again.

The Tarantula seems nice. You can run a Repro build on it, and if you stack partgens you can unleash an unholy amount of alpha with the web cannon. It has a big up front hit and 24 smaller hits and all of them can crit. e: HOBO FIRE CHALLENGE, STO EDITION: Complete ISA without a shield equipped.
