I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Can I grab wiki authorisation for "Skintypoo"

Also anyone have any idea why every time I level up after 50 I'm getting a full respec on my skills? Is this working as intended?

I think I got that on my Recruit too. Presumably a bug, very annoying as you start to unlock rep traits as well.

Yeah I'm getting that message every time I level up, it's effectively acting as if I bought a respec and I have to reallocate everything from traits to my skill tree every time I ping a new level which is annoying at the best of times, but even more so in the middle of combat. The first time I didn't mind so much as I had hosed up my skills when leveling, but now its getting mildly annoying.

I'm sure by know, most if not all know what I'm talking about by this. Especially if you spent any time on DS9 or Drozana Station. I am also sure Crytpic has just been ignoring the multitude of reports against this, while trying to come up with a solution that doesn't include banning players. So I have come up with the solution. No one need get banned and the problem gets solved.

And the solution is very simple.

Just make any PvE non-combat zone, like Risa, and disable all Captain and Trait abilities. The problem gets solved, no one gets banned, and everyone but those using those ability for this are happy. The abilities can be used inside the missions for those planets and starbases that have them. Like Qo'nos, DS9, ESD, and Drozana. Just in the non-mission version the abilities are locked out, just like Risa.

And there you have it.

Griefing in this game has nothing to do with actually playing the game. You can cause people to have violent fits just by standing next to them in social zones.

Keep in mind one very important difference between people who like to wear blue shirts and people who like to use smokescreen and other abilities to annoy other players: the former simply like to wear blue shirts, while the latter are specifically trying to annoy people. And you're not even just doing the equivalent of walking around and swinging your arms for the mere pleasure of swinging your arms; you're deliberately punching someone in the face. Some people do this in groups, which takes it from random rudeness to coordinated assault. I'm surprised they don't ask their potential victims for "protection money."
How does he think we're funding the giveaways? :homebrew:

EDIT: Also, a smoke grenade in game is the same as punching someone in the face on the street. Because of course it is.

Yes, particularly the Iconian Engines, Deflector, Core and shield. I quite like withering disrupters from the Terran rep too but they are pricey as gently caress to level.

Not necessarily but the Iconian 4-piece is the best in the game last I checked.

So it looks like you can get level-scaled twin phasers from replaying Everything Old Is New and you can get Type 2 (Wide) and Type 3 phasers from replaying the last AoY mission, so if you want Maximum TOS on an AoY character, the only thing you need to grind for while you're doing the TOS missions is stacks of enough 23c skill manuals to fill out your endgame boffs.
