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.

I guess I'll be the good cop here. Okay, so.

Apparently you do not understand this hostile reaction you are receiving and think that if you try harder you'll somehow be one of the cool kids. The thing is: you are someone we don't know, don't care about, and have no reason to interact with. Randomly joining a forum is fine. It's how we get new folks! However you apparently have joined something awful solely to get involved in a guild in a dying game for reasons I am... not even sure about since there's nobody here who's interested in bothering with you and you're not going to trick us out of the worthless crap in the fleet bank or whatever you're thinking of. Your efforts to pretend like this isn't happening and ingratiate yourself regardless just make people want to exclude you even more.

However I am not explaining this out of hatred or something. I don't know you, so why would I give a gently caress? But this is just an honest and fair warning that you're frankly looking absolutely pathetic and if you are in fact sincere in your efforts to join Dental for some godforsaken reason then the only advice I can give you is to relax, interact on the forums outside of this thread, and just try and get into the groove of things and not be a desperate attention-seeker. In a few months maybe you will properly understand what it means to exist on something awful, and maybe then you'll look back on this efforts, laugh at how stupid you were, and maybe, just maybe we'll invite you in then.

But we'll still mock you mercilessly for all this obsequious bullshit you started with. Forever. So hey. :wave:

GioSPL go buy yourself a new SA account with a new username and shut the hell up about star treks, mmos and vidya games for like a year.

You hosed yourself permanently with your first post and your increasing desperation and attempts to headbutt a brick wall are the internet equivalent of watching a drooling special ed kid eating playground dirt while it's mother smokes at a picnic table a hundred metres away, facing the other direction.

Once the fallout from the patch settles, I'll go through the major articles and make sure everything's up to date. 99% sure that the only major changes are going to be that embassy consoles have been nerfed into uselessness and you can now safely choose between FAW and BO, though.

While they might manage to make BO the boff skill usable, they've already confirmed that the [OVER] mod on weapons won't be getting any of the new BO bonuses. Because evidently only PEN, CRTD, and DMG are allowed to be good mods. And maybe ACC depending on how badly they 'fixed' BFaW.

This problem is easily resolved by not caring too deeply about weapon mods. You'll have to settle for being in the top 2% of DPS rather than the Space 1% but it's a small price to pay for the savings in time, money and stress.

Nice save but I've already seen the workflow projections.

Not that I'm going to bother changing ships mind you. I already have more ultra rare courtesy ships than I know what to do with.

Yeah, it's hilarious how something like a CRTDx2/DMG or vice versa is worth like a third or less the price of a CRTD or DMGx3 weapon despite the fact they're functionally identical and even a top 1% DPSer would hard pressed to even notice a difference.

This. Just don't spend cash on an ACC weapon (if you roll ACC with a UR/Gold upgrade that's fine) and you're set. Every other combo is just fine.

Even ACC might have some kind of niche now on ships without many TAC boff seats who want to run the nerfed FAW, I dunno.

The Over mod won't proc the lasting damage boost but it'll still be fun. Fun trumps increasing your dps by half a percent any day.

An important key point.

When actually logging in I fart about the galaxy in the fleet escort carrier and I use a full pilot slot for pilot team 1 + 2 and attack pattern lambda. It's a wonderful glass cannon.

Not great at face tanking the crystal entity but that's what rock & roll is for.

When it comes to the hanger bay your answer is "yellowstones" if Federation and those engine power sapping Orion interceptors if you went KDF.

Either way whatever you're shooting at will have less defence stat which is the important bit.

I do have a full kinetic build for this but that's neither here nor there. Do what you want.

"Someone and their friend..."

aka

"A screaming autistic child we'll lock in the care facility on 6 deck while their mother downs 30 cocktails with Jonathan Frakes"

That would be the most awkward cruise. You just know that the STO person is being tossed in as an unwanted free rider promo thing to tie in with some other promotion (probably whatever the next ST movie is) and a nice smiling PR man will ensure the "lucky winner" would have minimal interaction with the actors to avoid bothering them.

poo poo I couldn't even make conversation with most of them. "So you were in that next generation thing huh? Got to be honest I really didn't like that show when it aired. I guess a couple bits were ok but I don't remember you in them, sorry."

"So what was it like going to work in an adult romper suit most of the time?"
