I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

drat now I'm curious what everyone's top 5 problems with this game are.

1. Endgame content is a wasteland
2. The upgrade system has killed messing around with alts
3. The price of ships is way too high
4. Not enough focus on TNG/DS9
5. Nowhere near enough player education on builds leads to weird things like pubbies thinking that tanking is a thing.

3. Troles and Cybobullies
4. The struggle to break 1k dps
5. Lack of fundamentalist Christian furry fleets

really i'd just like it if engineers and science captains weren't complete poo poo. the optimization curve in this game is so crazy that you can permanently hosed by a single choice at chargen.

of course pubs loving think the balance is fine, who cares that like 60% of the characters in the game are tac because it's the only profession worth doing, that doesn't mean it's imbalanced

1) the free-to-play system, and new ships being marginally better yet expensive
2) the fact pubbies still buy into this game; pubbies playing dressup; pubbies not realising the game is poo poo; pubbies
3) tactical being the only decent choice
4) coding is poo poo, devs are poo poo, gm are poo poo, forums are poo poo, craptic/pwe is poo poo, (there are literally outstanding bugs since I started playing at 3rd anniversary)
5) the lovely story shoe-horning in all the different series, its worse than fanfic

My main's an engineer and I don't really regret it since it's not like the game is really hard or something, but it's obnoxious to think that I could be doing 50%+ more damage with no appreciable downside if I did tac instead. You think it'd be trivially easy to add some team buffs or a damage boost to a skill or something to make the class worth it, but Cryptic. :effort:

But Engineer is the tanking class! And Science is the ??????? class. And an Engineer in a Cruiser is tankiest of them all.

My happiest STO memories.


Edit: I don't have the capital, but can someone send something nice to @xxspiderbitexx3? This pubbie ate a ban supporting Dental in our efforts to cleanse Drozana years before, and he keeps on keeping on.

[Tell] GreenGaint@xxspiderbitexx3: But one thing that has never changed since Drozana

you mean he didn't just activate his other biddle alt so that he can feel more justified by complaining at you from two names? Strange.. he must have been tired. Regardless, I like you! Good work.

No they were all there, and when he'd move one I'd move next to another one, then I juked him a few times and moved to one he wasn't about to move, playing the lamest game of whack a mole ever.
