Hexenritter posted:Also, is there any way to force the game to download all the assets rather than doing it every time you go to load a level? Is that the "on demand patching" setting in the launcher options? It doesn't totally remove the loading for everything, but it makes it almost instant for most everything (this is if you are playing on an SSD that is).

Koskun posted:If I remember correctly, in the launcher (the STO one itself), under Options, un-check "On-demand patching". It's been a while since I did it, but the option does exist. Yeah that appears to have sorted it. Now I just need to fix the cataclysmic fuckening of all my optimised three-level quickbars for my ships and remember how not to be a scrub tier BoP pilot. Getting my poo poo pushed in repeatedly by a single Fed science cruiser mob in a purped out Hoh'Sus was demoralising as gently caress,  unsurprisingly after a five year hiatus I've also been booted from both SFD and NoP. So ronery. Hexenritter fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Dec 14, 2018 |

Now because I'm so rusty it's just a horrid shambolic mess.

Holy poo poo, just got the ultra rare T6 ship drop from the infinity lockbox with my last key... now I'm spoilt for choice because I don't even recognise 90% of these ships. Advice? Same goes for the infinity reward cross faction consoles. I've already got the ionised gas sensor, hostile acquisition, destructive resonance emitter and harmonic lure.

It makes some people mad when they see it. Presumably because their nudie mods or whatever don't work with certain items. I remember reading they didn't work with exo suits a few years back which helped explain some of why the old drozana residents hated fire safety drills so much.

I'm having trouble deciding which T6 Infinity prize ship to unlock with the box I got earlier. I'm really tempted by the Tholian Tarantula, the Herald Quas Flight Deck Cruiser and the Sarcophagus Dreadnought

I'm really tempted by the Tholian Tarantula, the Herald Quas Flight Deck Cruiser and the Sarcophagus Dreadnought I own the Tarantula and the Quad (thanks Pulse). Tarantula is still a great flight deck cruiser, plus you can load up a hanger of Mesh Weavers who have Attack Pattern Beta and Fire at Will, so they’ll debuff everything. It’s got a low turn rate but from memory the Console web cannon scales with Aux or EPG and can get absolutely insane. The Quas is a harder sell - it’s also a good flight deck cruiser, but the fighters aren’t brilliant, it can’t get the frigates unless you also get the Baltim from the Lobi store, and the seating is OK but not spectacular. All I’ve heard about the Sarcophagus is that the turn rate is hilariously bad. If I were in your position, I’d be looking at the T6 JHDC, the Miradorn Theta (it has Pilot manoeuvres) or the TOS Dreadnaught (you can buy the Fed/Rom console cheaply on the Exchange and get an amazing set bonus).

Related, I've made it up to around 200 mil ec, and am considering splurging on one of the boats that cost up in that range. I'm considering the Narcine for looks since I like the vaguely organic appearance and the Briostrys is 350m, is it any good? Also looking at the Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer and the Sheshar. Or perhaps I should just keep saving.

I cancelled the Dental winter starbase vanity 2018 project. Nobody had bothered to put anything into it including whoever slotted it to begin with so zero contribution effort was lost. Feel free to continue getting fleet credits per normal on the 30 minute ones which are actually useful. If there was an intention to actually complete the winter 2018 vanity project precisely nobody will ever use then feel free queue it up again whenever.

Oh derp. I queued it, had the crap needed to fill it, then got distracted by all the other crap I've missed out on. Cos of not playing this game in over 6 months. What happened to the freebie hoverboard that used to be in the promotions tab? Created a new character, was going to grind out some colony crap for quick fleet marks for it and gave up cos no hoverboard.

Every social zone is a barren wasteland because the maximum player number per zone is comically low now. Went from what... 70 to 20? The ancient engine can't cope with the old player numbers per instance while also dealing with all the NPCs, objects and spawnables. Well I say now. It's been like that for years at this point.

I don’t know about the boff setup - the poster looks like they were being a tank, and while the Tarantula can take a lot of damage in any situation you’ll have more fun just speccing for pure damage and wiping everything out.

O hay again fellow PLer. Merry Snulsmas. I was flying a Mirror Vo'quv and a Fleet Hoh'sus back in the day so my boff skill loadouts are probably set up for that but I'd have to log back in and list them all. Most of those pieces of kit look like they're behind faction rep grind so I'm nowhere near able to grab them right now. I also got rather lucky selling some of the poo poo from the other Infinity boxes I opened and now I've got 7.5 mil sitting in my Klingon's account, and I've started eyeing even more ships. edit: Yeah looking at my boffs there's a lot of skill rejiggering that needs doing.

Beams still work. Beams are still fine to use. They're just not as good. It's not like they're mines or anything. One can say that the biggest change was the Competitive Engines. Any time you cast something(Depends on the type of engine), you get a speed and turn buff of similar strength to Evasive Maneuvers. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Prevailing_Fortified_Impulse_Engines Thus even heavy ships have far less trouble getting into position to use cannons. I'm looking at the Fortified: Almost everyone carries Power to Shields, Engineering Team, Science Team, Hazard Emitters, and possibly Transfer Shield Strength and Aux to Structural if slots and playstyle permit. Proper spacing of even using each as the last ends would give you 20-30 seconds. Proper placing of Aux to Structural with its 15 second cooldown could get you 1 or 2 more. That's not counting actual Evasive Manuevers for another 8 seconds. In practice the odds of getting it just so are poor. But even so it's huge.

He still goes absolutely apeshit over disco balls and reports anyone using one anywhere near him. He also records video of it for "evidence" and posts it on his facebook page. Almost every video shows him reporting the offending player with a note to the GMs that "video evidence will follow".
