Getting Patrick Stewart onboard is one of those strange redeeming acts Cryptic does once in awhile. I mean, without this the game would just be a downhill slide since LoR.

Hopefully he's going to get lines that he can actually put a little personality into and not just all of the "yes" and "This is Sisko" that they're recycling for Brooks.

The free ship token gravy train stops after tier 4, right? What's the best option for getting an entry level tier 5 ship? I'm approaching level 49, so I should probably have a plan.

You can still buy the lockbox boobie prize ships off the exchange relatively cheap... they tend towards 10-odd million a pop these days but even that's only a few days of play tops for a complete newbie selling drops for credits. Find a decent one, spend another 15m for a T5U upgrade token, and you're basically set until you can get a freebie T6 event ship or something. And yes it's incredibly obnoxious how new players no longer get an actual endgame ship for free while leveling, but nobody seems to have complained loudly enough for Cryptic to give a gently caress.

So, I'm in a position to grab some Embassy consoles to get those sweet plasma explosions happening with my Paradox. Given how heavily I've specced into Exotic Particle Generators/Gravity Well, it's pretty much a no brainer for me to buy the EPG boosting consoles. The question is, do I go with + or - threat? Does it even make too much of a difference?

Yeah I still have all my -threat consoles from before traits were a thing and once I unload I still have aggro over all the pubbies. But either way you will probably get shot at enough in any situation so flip a coin I guess.

Eeh, yeah it's probably the best science-heavy T6 sciboat at the moment and prolly better than the non-lockbox/promo options. Also it's a flying toilet seat so hey.

Is there something to do with Jevonite other than the chain quests and then the Hardpoint consumable that I should know about? Or am I good to go for stupid prices on the exchange for my giant piles of it?

Tunicate posted:You get a single t5 freebie ship. Oh, I guess you do! For some reason I thought T4 was the last free one. Anyway! I'm thinking of just buying a T6 from the C-Store when I hit the appropriate level since up to this point STO has been very entertaining for like no money at all (except for what I apparently spent on cosmetic items like three+ years ago) but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. Should I just pick whatever T6 I think looks coolest, or are there any ships in particular that I should be looking at as a Federation engineer?

Empress Theonora posted:Oh, I guess you do! For some reason I thought T4 was the last free one. I think the two best choices for 'good ship and good trait' are the intel escort and the battlecruiser. The escort is an escort and gives a trait that reduces your cooldowns when enemies miss - which basically means that you don't need any other cooldown bonuses - and the battlecruiser has a 5/3 weapons loadout and a trait that increases the firing rate of your weapons.

Phantom Intel Escort: The famous reciprocity trait, and it's basically an uglier defiant with the cloak as a freebie instead of a console and access to intel skills. Probably the best cstore escort to fly after... Icarus Pilot Escort: Subwarp Sheath trait, less critical than a lot but still really good. Probably the best cstore escort plus it gets that pilot barrel roll crap. Presidio Command Battlecruiser: The All hands on Deck trait, another one of those really traits especially if you're tac and love short APA cooldowns. Also just generally a solid ship all around that's both really durable and still high damage, even if it isn't as thrilling as some of the competition. Arbiter Battlecruiser: Astoundingly good trait - you're going to want EPTW with as close to 100% uptime as you can get anyway - and just a great all around ship. The 5/3 layout and high mobility opens some options other cruisers don't have access to too, like making it a dual beam bank psuedo-escort. Probably my personal pick if you're buying a single c-store boat, but I have a fondness for nimble cruisers. Dootman posted:I like that he made up his own acronym for what NoP stands for.

Are any of the T6 Star Cruisers any good? I really like how they look, but also don't want to accidentally spend real money on a garbage ship.

The Odysseys? Eh, they're... alright? They're really not appreciably different from the T5 ones honestly, relatively durable but really slow with a flexible boff layout. They're rather middle of the road, though at least the science version still keeps the sensor analysis. The tac version's trait is great if you use torpedoes but pointless if you don't, and the other two traits are completely forgettable. You can do a lot worse (T6 Galaxy and Excelsior...) but if you have to have one they'll work well enough? I'd personally grab an Arbiter, Eclipse, or even the Yamato (no really, the T6 one's actually pretty alright thanks to the lt.com tac seat) first.
