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.

I don't think the Type 2 phasers you get from AoY have the special vapourise-on-every-kill (as opposed to on crit) effect the old Type 2 does, though, so that might still be worth getting. If they didn't strip the effect from new versions of reward when they updated to AoY.

Oh brave new world that hath such people in it...
Sounds like an Engineer (captain or boff) popping the Combat Supply ability.

On a wholly different note, what ships will everyone be having their AOY Temporal Recruit fly around in? Was thinking of grabbing a Narcine for mine, since I do like carriers and it seemed appropriate for the Temporal Cold war. (That, and the other alternative endgame carrier for Feds is the Jupiter, which I'm not really interested in).

Over the years between week-long giveaways and rock bottom dil/zen prices I've amassed a useless number of level 1-60 ships. When the exchange was super low and they'd do a 20% off ships week or whatever I'd spend all week grinding max dil, selling it at sub 100-1 prices and snapping up all the cheap low level ships for free dumb clicky consoles.

Haha wow, it's been a while since I've seen one of those "I WUZ A NAZY SEAL!!" turbonerds. It's a particular favorite of a certain subset of compulsive lying sperg for whatever reason, probably because it makes them feel powerful and important despite being 300 pound schlubs who haven't done anything more stenuous than buy a bunch of surplus out of date Army poo poo. They invariably don't know poo poo about what actual service is like but can't help boasting anyway. Used to see those sorts like ever other D&D group back in the day and it as always so amazingly blatant. :allears:

I've only ever seen them in the ground battlezones. If they're spawning in missions I don't think that's supposed to happen.

Again, it should happen, if you are using Combat Supply. That is its "new" form, compared to its nearly-useless "old" form.

I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
If you have an engineer with combat support they'll pop out of the box he calls in.

That guy losing his poo poo is delightful. I'm not normally one to mock service members, but this guys insistence that he's a sniper just screams to me that IF he served he was in all likelihood a personnel or supply guy who's bitter about never getting a chance to shoot some of those brown folks. The boasting just sounds like the same tired bullshit I've heard before is all.

As to what ship for your AoY character, future science ship with the TOS skin. Ball Ship best ship.

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.
