Man, I hadn't even logged in in over a year and they sent me one? Damned good work, Goons!

Does anyone know if these are tradable? I don't really play anymore, so I can give it to someone who didn't get one or has an unapproved alt account or whatever. Shoot me a message at You need a Platinum Account to view this message. if you want it.

So they have the fleet T6 versions of the new Fed ships, but do we know if they plan on making fleet versions of the 3 cross faction ones? I want a fleet Ourobouros for my main since I don't think I will ever get my D4.

They do, which makes them a very good investment. Seriously I can't praise these ships enough.

She can't talk about the Nagus because she knows nothing about it, she wasn't even aware of it IIRC.

It's also the mission pubbies used to run endlessly to get nerve tonics for their bar table dancing jerkoff ERP sessions in old droz.

Also why they hated disco balls so much at first - because it broke the "sexy dance" emote and then they needed to go run the mission again for another nerve tonic.

Is the nerve tonic consumed on used? Because that is a lot of mission to play before you get your stupid dance.

Just came back from a long hiatus and got one of those "we want you back" ship packages. The fleet I was in was empty and there is a lot of new poo poo I am unaware of judging by skimming through the previous pages. Anyone have a TL;DR of what's new and what Cryptic has hosed up the past year since I've been away?

Ship traits are a thing now. You've got enough Zen to buy a Presidio and an Arbiter cruiser, both of which have amazing traits.

If you haven't yet, register on the wiki for a guide into building your character and picking endgame specialisations. I'll have good cheap builds for the Presidio, Arbiter and other good ships soon.

A quick note - cruisers are fine at end-game, but don't use one until you can use a T6 one. Use escorts while leveling.

Worth noting you can currently spend 13000 Zen and get a good levelling ship for every tier up to 50, four great non-fleet endgame ships and three amazing fleet level endgame ships, all of which feature the fairly excellent Temporal mechanic.

PSA: Training your BOFFs in the new Temporal Operative powers appears to be bugged in that you will not be charged skill points at all when you hit the "Learn" button on a skill. I gave 6 of my BOFFs all the space/ground powers you can get from the trainer on ESD and it didn't deduct a single point. I tried changing zones and logging out & back in, not a point gone. I tried training one Intel skill, the points were deducted as normal.

This would be an interesting exploit if expertise even remotely mattered.

I guess handy for temporal boffs while leveling though. :effort:

- Starship Trait Guide
TL;DR - spend a bunch of zen/ec if you want the good stuff.

quote:

- Build guides for the Presidio and Arbiter
This would probably be appreciated.

quote:

- "Tanking" "guide" for the space rich
Don't encourage people. Tanking is not a thing in this game.

quote:

- Good cheap build guide for the space 99%
This would be great. Make sure that you mention gear that isn't rep/fleet that can be used by brand new players, since it'll take over a month for a new player to finish up a rep from scratch.
