Since that is exactly what we're talking about here, yeah, I think Tech might be aware.

I might, he might not be. It is Tech. But that chance is slim.

I think I have 4 sets of gold tactical consoles. Part of that was changing from phasers to AP after a meta change, part was from going all-in photon torps one build and lastly I made a duplicate set by mistake because I completely forgot I already owned a set on another ship I hadn't looked at in ages.

At least tactical consoles are relatively cheap to gold out so it was more funny when I realised than anything else.

I accidentally got one of my spire consoles to gold last night. On the other hand, I took a type 1 phaser from mk 2 to mk 14 and it stayed green.

You should pug a Breach in an NX. If anyone talks poo poo, remind them that A. you're flying the pride of starfleet, and B. talk poo poo, get hit.

Funnily enough that's the first thing I did with it, pugged advanced. Hit plasma jets, die in a single hit. Anything bigger than a frigate looks your way, pop.

It was glorious.

Other options are to roll with the Miranda quoting Moby Dick the entire way, and running with the T1 steam runner claiming you're in a T5-U model, and the game is bugged.

Just ran the breach in a turret tuffli. Two players quit halfway, Tuffli is maneuverable as hell but poor speed, Turret Tuffli is the Terror of the Terrible Breach.

I'm not sure when, but at some point a few months ago the Tuffli got bugged to have like 60 base turn instead of 6. It's kind of hilarious, if you throw a bunch of RCS consoles on you can spin in circles while traveling in a straight line. I'm not sure if it's related to this bug but the engine trails are messed up too, and are like off to the side of the ship in empty space.

Nobody at Cryptic will ever notice, care about, or fix this.

The ship named after a former dev that nobody who still works at cryptic remotely gives a poo poo about basically.

I remember a couple years ago a pubbie swearing black and blue that his single core Pentium 4 was still good and amazing for STO.

Why no, I never did get any information regarding resolution or frame rate out of them. They were upset about me calling their computer "ghetto junkyard" and I found myself blocked when I asked.

Was that OldKhemaraa? I remember he posted specs to his computer awhile ago in a thread complaining about lag, and I honestly couldn't understand how he got the game to load on his machine.

Quoting to confirm, that was the one. He was the first (that I saw) to be proud of "being able" to run STO on his shitmachine in comparison to the evil dentals and our mostly bog-standard hardware.

Best part is he isn't even using a dedicated GPU. The R5 Graphics are the A8's GPU component. I bet that thing keeps him warm at night. I've run this game on an APU before, and it choked on anything not in a social zone.

STO is a... six? seven? year old game that was hardly state of the art when it was released, most modern integrated graphics stuff should run it just fine.

Which makes it all the more hilarious when you see pubs whine about the game running poorly and you have to try and envision the sort of toaster they're trying to run it on.

Yeah this is the counterpoint; elements of it are as unoptimised as hell. Remember when the undine zone came out and even the best graphic cards would chug on the field FX?

Mind you that's because the devs were so rushed and incompetent that you had poo poo like the UI refreshing sixty times per second or something insane so the game ran like poo poo on any system. The actual 3D stuff in STO isn't exactly intensive despite this.

This was always the most hilarious bit to me. Suffering from lovely frame rate? Turn off the UI and see how good it looks then.

With a few exceptions, again mainly dev incompetence. Mainly involving particle effects. There's a few spots where the particle effects get intense as hell.
