Apparently the idea was that you go in with your build and that's it, you can never change. Despite Borg being in the spawn rotation.

What I'm getting at is that this event sounds real loving stupid.

Engies loving it means you can change your build, but making the arena trivial just makes it tedious.

I haven't changed my ground build since the last time some interesting new ground modules were released. I've never wanted to change a thing mid battle and don't know why anyone would.

There are non energy weapons anyway so just have one equipped in your offhand slot and go nuts if you meet borg.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Is anyone else changing Spec for ground? I switched up to Command/intel just because I had Pilot slotted.

So one of the high end DPS channels decided to see how far they could get in Sompek Arena.

Result ? They said fuckit and took a dive after 400 rounds. 4.75 hours total playtime. 19,680 dil payout plus all the other junk.

I played this for like 45 minutes on PC a few years back. There's not a lot in the OP about the PS4 release. I'm assuming all the data still tracks?

I just hit level, like, 33 and decided if I'm going to keep playing, that I should look at how to best play this instead of just winging all my points and what not.

The OP isn't really up to date, but I don't think there's a big difference between the PC and console versions. You may get some lag when it comes to content, but I assume skills functions the same way.
There are a couple of guides on the wiki for new and returning players and how to distribute your skill points. Some recommendations (like setting up a spacebar macro) won't be applicable to you, but you'll probably figure out what those are and if there's something similar you can do on the console.

Yeah, I was checking them from the same place. It just seems odd that each discharge is about the same yet one has over 2x the DPS.

The damage seems normal, it's just the listed dps that's odd but that's probably a typo. Really it's just that the tooltips in general are pretty much hosed and always have been.

Back up.

I knew that the game was written in an endearingly childlike* way, but are the hover over tool tips for damage/attack and DPS really typed and not automatically generated?

I'm still overly annoyed that the Vo'Quv hasn't seen a upgrade, when that was one of KDF's 'things'. The closest was the Fleet Vo'Quv. God help you if you preferred the Mirror Vo'Quv layout.

They're generated; at least, I think that's why if you mouseover space gear on ground and vice versa you get weird values.

Mister Dantastic did an impromptu StarfleetDental Giveaway around the Statue of Spock.
Everyone went from hating Dental and reporting us for Trolling to talking about how much they LOVE STARFLEET DENTAL in chat.
There's more to this story tho.
Place became a Ghost town when he said the ship giveaways were over.
Druk also gave out a Keldon to some random guy.

Damages include
T6 NX01 (I got this apparnetly)
Kelvin Dreadnought - Vengeance
TOS Constitution T6
Klingon D4x (2)

Nimoy celebration of life 3.0 was good.

“If I meet God, I hope she's female. I'm touched by the power of women. I'm married to a feminist. And I'm troubled by the fact that women in our culture are congratulated most for losing weight.”
-Leonard Nimo

got someone to say "spock is a total cuck."

Gave a keldon to a stonewall fleet guy for his outfit, some random pubbie got a vonph for having the name @carcossa.

some bitching about dental troles, but mostly the reception was good
