Do weapon procs activate before or after the damage from the shot that triggered it (i.e does the shot benefit from a debuff)?

I want to say it's on/after damage. So a disruptor proc on the last weapon activation of a first volley would have the debuff on the second volley. First weapon activation of the first volley would have the debuff on every other hit of that volley. At least, that's my understanding since procs went from per hit to per activation cycle.

Thanks. Some of the mechanics are really hard to figure out in this game.

Wait until he starts to notice that the tooltip mouseovers for equipment changes in space vs. on the ground.

Well the GMs as a "one-time courtesy" are moving the AoD pack for me to the character I wanted it on originally. Only took 3 days and escalating the ticket to a Specialist Game Master for some reason (their escalation, not mine). Also re: Phoenix boxes - Onna on DS9 is not bugged anymore, so you can claim it there and not have to go to Droz for it. So I was wondering, why would Cryptic or PWE turn on both Upgrade & Phoenix at the same time ? AFAIK there's never been a double something weekend ever. For the brief time I logged in a few minutes ago dil was at 277. Is this a move on their part to influence dil price or (more likely) quantity ? I already have most of my most used space/ground bits at mk 14 rare or ultra rare, but the very slight bump in numbers makes me question expending any resources even just for the bump to mk 15, much less to gold.

Last phoenix promo didn't move the needle much, and everyone just hordes the poo poo until the next upgrade weekend anyways.

Well, the Battle of the Binary was meant to be on the 8th, but then it changed to the 15th. That's what people are saying, at least, and it makes enough sense to me.

Also re: Phoenix boxes - Onna on DS9 is not bugged anymore, so you can claim it there and not have to go to Droz for it. For upgrading stuff, moving from mk 14 to 15 can provide a decent increase, especially for weapons and weapon consoles. Getting things to gold is less important, though again there's a decent increase for weapons by getting them to gold. I think most people do the omega upgrade on mk 2 weapons gamble to get a set of gold weapons, though. Upgrading a mk 15 weapon from UR to epic is just too expensive. Fleet consoles are cheap enough to upgrade that they're worth getting to gold. Everything else on the ship/ground people just upgrade to gold when they've run out of anything else to do in the game.

I don't bother with getting stuff to gold because there is literally nothing in this game that requires it.

 With a somewhat decent dilithium exchange rate, I finally decided to sell it all. From a maxed out toon account, I do the EC, Ferengi, and Klingon missions to get the most out of it. The EC in the account bank was about a 2 week farm time and the dilithium took over a month with a few breaks. It takes a little over an hour to cycle through them all but in the end it's worth not having to spend a dime on the game.

Now that the phoenix stuff and poking at a disco alt is getting me away from the security officers... I think this is the most deserted I've ever seen STO. ESD, New Romulus, and Drozana are almost empty.

In past they've had basic metrics from people logging in to do the rep grind, but I suspect like me most people clicked their way through a single day of raising all their reps towards T6 and went 'oh gently caress it' I have Monster Hunter for my terrible grind now.

No point playing broken content. My new grind is Destiny 2. Got a free copy from battle.net. I reckon I'll get some replay out of it so I bought the DLC content and that'll do me for the next month or two. Then I think Division 2 is due out in Feb 2019? Or so? That'll be next.

I played through the free copy of Destiny 2, I thought it was very mediocre. Kinda got the same feeling I do about STO and its space combat - the shooting is decently fun, but the game mechanics are unintuitive as hell, the story is awful, and the endgame is super grindy.

I'm dusting off a Fed Sci captain character I made a long time ago, got to 50, and then sort of forgot about but have actually been using for extra storage space. The character dates to well before the skill tree redo in Season 11.5 and I have to re-pick all the skills. I was looking at the wiki and was wondering if the guides there are still valid, particularly the sci-heavy Space Gandalf one.

No - they nerfed the sci ultimate ability because it was too good and now it’s worthless. Invest in EPG, Control, Drain and Targeting and you can pretty much forget the rest unless you’re desperate for some extra science cooldown reduction.

That's the thing about rewards. Punters need to actually perceive them as rewards in order to jump through the hoops. A promoter labeling a three day old soggy cold meat pie a reward still doesn't mean anyone is going to want it.

So out of curiosity what's the current policy for pubbies joining the Fed goon fleet? A friend of mine has gotten into MMO's for literally the first time ever and we were looking for a good guild. As a fun side note, she did join one but it turns out it's some hosed up ponzi scheme where the lower ranks pay into projects and the fleet bank for the higher ranks with no way to get anything out of it. Which kind of made a bad impression on her, to say the least.

I've only done the T6 rep stuff on one character, for the account discount. At some point I'll have to level up Gamma on a few others, because the vanity shield is hot pink.

Historically if it’s someone you know personally they’re cool to join, but you’re basically responsible for them if they don’t behave themselves. We already had someone go off the deep end after a goon’s kid rinsed the fleet bank. Was pretty funny.

god the eight year old plundering the bank was hilarious, but i don’t remember anyone going off the deep end. there was a guy near-ish the same time who thought experience bij was dumb and reported pulse but that was unrelated to the 8 year old.
