The consoles, warp cores, and other personal items can be purchased from another fleet's store with your own fleet's provisions. In fact, everything with the exception of fleet ships is available. If you aren't in any fleet at all then you'd have to join one to buy stuff.

Caught an episode of TNG while I was traveling for work this week and got the itch to play again. However, my hard drive died between the last time I played and now, taking my notes on what I was doing with my character with it. So, questions: 1. Is the Presidio build on the goon wiki still viable or has it since been nerfed/power-crept into oblivion? I'm only level 25, but like having an end goal to aim for. I think I was going for a Scimitar/Khopesh last time. Are they terrible now? 2. Same question about our wiki, but for the PC leveling skills and away team composition. 3. I vaguely remember I was trying to train a given R&D skill to 5 before starting another, but can't figure out why I would have wanted to do so; the only breakpoint the non-goon wiki mentions is at 15. Is there a useful craftable thing you get at 5?

You probably want to focus on cannons and scatter volley if you want to follow the meta. Beam boat cruisers still work and the Presidio will do the job if you want to fly it though. Skills are still pretty much the same. R&D schools ranked at 5 let you craft specific components but none of them are in super high demand anymore because the upgrades you get from the Phoenix box events are way better bang for your buck than anything you can craft. R&D schools DO give you access to personal space and ground traits at level 15 which you can view here. The only real rule of flying a ship is: do you have a Lt. Commander tactical slot so you can slot Attack Pattern Omega 1? (The Presidio does) If the answer is no, fly another ship. bij fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jun 28, 2019 |

However, my hard drive died between the last time I played and now, taking my notes on what I was doing with my character with it. So, questions: The Khopesh is still good, but like BFF said you'll probably want to run a cannon build on it. I think all the ship-specific builds in the wiki are extremely out of date, but that doesn't mean they won't work for missions and regular STFs. If you have matching weapons, matching tac consoles, useful boff skills, and a spacebar macro, you have enough to destroy any normal PVE content. Also, they went and made all T6 ships scaling now. So you can grab the Presidio or Khopesh and start using it on your level 25 character, it'll just have a few item slots locked.

Kael hosed up and posted the stats for the Fleet Risian Escort T6: If you're new to the game, play the summer event, get a rep to T6, and score a ship that can do anything and do it with style.

They gave up and posted the page, but I can't access it now? From the bot that copies it on reddit:quote:*Risian corvette [T6] * The free version seems gratifyingly non-gimped. Good grief, impulse modifier 0.27. Even the original vette was 0.25. This thing is crazy fast. "This console also provides a passive boost to Flight Speed and Maximum Engine Power." oh even faster. "After achieving level 5 in the Risian corvette [T6], you will unlock the Rhythmic Rumble Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, activating any Auxiliary power to the Inertial Dampeners or any Pilot Bridge Officer Ability grants you a boost to Damage Resistance Rating and Weapon Power Cost based on your speed." Weps cost? Not bad. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Jun 29, 2019 |

So hey, we're doing a Riposte run for MoonSlayer's LP of STO at 8pm CST tonight, and due to some drop-outs, we need some Disco ships. We're got a Crossfield, Walker, and Europoop/Nimitz, and would need two more uniques if possible. If not tonight, the backup plan is 3pm CST tomorrow/Sunday.

No worries, after finding out that STO doesn't like demorecords over 6 minutes during multi-player missions, I was able to capture what I needed for the LP. Thanks all!

Lorak posted:I can't be too upset. Cryptic was looking for a way to drain dilithium from the economy, and buying tokens to sell/trade to your friends (and not the exchange) seems like a good way to not tank the value of Zen while also taking it out of the market. Though, if I'm not mistaken, that just makes those who buy Zen with money and sell it for dilithium even more swamped in dilithium, unless they donate it to fleet projects or something. this doesnt drain any dil out of the economy

hakimashou posted:this doesnt drain any dil out of the economy Nothing ever will because everything you spend it on is a one-time fixed cost. You don't need to spend dilithium daily to fuel your ship, open mission reward chests, change uniforms, warp to missions, fast travel or... no wait, actually lets just implement all of that. Claim it's for "immersion". And to stop the howling make the uniform tailor NPC work on GPL instead of dilithium "in the spirit of DS9" or something.

Sure there is plenty of stuff to spend dilithium on. More than any normal MMO player would ever care to. But this is Star Trek Online which has survived multiple events that would kill any product not associated with the license. The playerbase is a particular kind of dogmatic & persistent that will spend years doing repetitive tasks for minor endorphin hits. You bet your rear end once they gold every bit of gear they want they'll keep accumulating [currency] into infinite. Good luck trying to balance a new player experience with that of a organic perpetual motion machine.

Bootcha posted:Serious question tho... Any ship that comes in a bundle should be purchased in that bundle. Doing otherwise just fucks you for admiralty which is the only decent path to making the game playable without whaling the gently caress out. The fact that they just lock you out of the bundle forever instead of offering the bundle with a discount for pieces you already own is a big trap for new players.

It's about the same really? I guess impossible to fail if you're really bad at dive rolling around an icy track though.

You still break the 3-ship bundles by buying one. It's not supposed to break the 9-ship bundles anymore, though.

Over-complicating the race with rolling and jumping is why some people have such a hard time with it. You can literally walk the track and beat the NPC if you cut corners.

The ice race is one of those things where the mechanics are both unintuitive and poorly explained so it seems impossible until you figure out what the hell you're supposed to be doing then suddenly it becomes trivially easy.

To be fair I think it's meant to be played as-is and the dodge rolls that make it trivial were a happy accident they couldn't disable without breaking everything. Then everyone learned to dodge roll their way through and that was that.

Lag or latency or whatever it is manages to bounce me off the track a couple times each winter. If you've got an especially lovely connection that leads to lots of rubber-banding, it can be extremely frustrating. And I can see how people with some physical impairments just wouldn't be able to do it. It's not hard but it does have an unforgiving fail condition. Flying High has far less pressure, yet I see just as many, if not more people complain about it.

Then everyone learned to dodge roll their way through and that was that. I mean just running on ice without flying off the track. It's not like you spend anytime in the game running on ice before your first winter events. Getting kicked out of the race the first time you go over the often arbitrary lines doesn't help either. Everyone hates it the first year they do it by the end of it it's just simple as hell though.
