Well, they finally put out the ship I want: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11440743 Pilot maneuvers, Pilot/Intel seating, and as a bonus it's an Undine design. Too bad it's lockbox instead of lobi.

Understandable if people don't realise at first because I was lost too and I've been fastidious about claiming every promotion since day dot. You claim the uniform under uniforms and THEN the vanity shield appears under promotions. Not before. Yeah I know.

So I found out something tonight while doing the Kobiyashi Maru event. Apparently the Protomatter Field Projector from the Lukari Ho'kuun Science Vessel affects the K-Maru to a significant degree. I saw one guy using it near the K and it healed up that suicidal little cargo ship from about 10% to 100% in about 5-8 seconds. If you have the Mult-Mission Explorer triplets you can equip all 4 consoles of the Alliance Multi-Mission Systems Set which buffs the recharge & intensity of the Protomatter Field even more.

I’m pretty sure it’s one of the only heals in the game that bases itself on total hull percentage and not just healing a flat number of HP. Given the KM is a huge stack of slowly moving hitpoints, it’s a very good time to be using that console.

Hello Goons, somehow I've found myself gorging on TNG on Netflix again while the world is ending. This has of course got me all amped to dip my toes back into STO. I've been doing some light googling and have discovered that they finally added a Borg ship into the game (Liberated Juggernaut I think?). I'm a die hard Borg fan and would like to try and get this ship and make a cool Borgy build around it, I'm sure it's terrible but I don't really care about min/maxing at all since I just play with my other Goon buddy through the episodes. My question for you is what is the best way to get this ship? I see it costs a zillion dollars on the exchange so is just buying keys and selling them the best choice? I don't mind spending some RL cash to help facilitate that I just want to do it as smart as possible. I also have no problem discussing procuring the ship through a fellow Fleet member if they can strike me a better deal as well. Open to any suggestions you may have!

If you're really set on it... Buy keys for real money and sell for in game cash. Watch the market prices to make sure you spend the least $$$ IRL as possible. Also figure out whatever is currently the best trading channel to do this sort of thing. Or discord these day, I don't know, I'm out of date. Sometimes it can be a seller direct to buyer transaction. Without checking prices myself you'll probably spend like a couple hundred (realbucks) going off prices of previous promo ships. When the Annorax (very popular) launched the price fluctuation was nuts. Best time to buy is probably the second or third day after the new product launches after the "at any cost" people already bought theirs and the sellers are slowly dropping prices from ultrapeak as the rest of the market catches up.

That said, yeah, keys to STO-credits, or sometimes even just go to a trading channel and offer keys for trade for it. There's usually someone willing to take you up, but be sure to shop around.

Lorak posted:Side note, if you are a die-hard Borg fan, may I suggest the mildly cheaper option of Borging up your ship instead? I appreciate the advice. I do have that whole set already (Running it on my Miracle Worker Rom Ship now) was hoping to run that set on the Borg ship for extra Borg action! I'll try to do my due diligence and shop around a bit before making any decision.

That borg ship is the cheapest lockbox ship on the market so if you want it, do it quickly because the price will only climb

its probably another test to see if people bite and shell out the $$$ for a single legendary ship, if succesful we may see more of that, including single releases of the ships from the 10. anniversary bundle

If not, toss it back on the exchange. I almost bought one myself, but after testing decided it just wasn't fun to fly (to me). greasythepirate fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Jun 6, 2020 |

How is the Eclipse Intel Cruiser? I'm trying the figure out a way to spend these bound rep fleet modules, and I already have a pilot escort so I'm trying to find a nimble cruiser, but most of them look pretty starved for tactical boff seats.

Too many engineering bridge officer slots. Was good when it came out because both the meta and the ships generally available were in a much different state back then however it hasn't stood the test of time. Grab the T6 fleet avenger battlecruiser instead. It's much better. Alternatively the fleet paladin temporal battlecruiser with the ranger skin is pretty good too. Turn 10 from memory.

The Fleet Miracle Worker Shepard Cruiser is also pretty good. 2 tac (ltc & ensign) 1 eng (cdr) 1 sci (ensign) 1 ltc universal Consoles are solid too. 5/4/2/1 eng/tac/sci/universal. Lets you get 5 of the tac consoles and rip poo poo apart. I ran it as a beam boat but it can also do dual cannons.

The Fleet Hoover gets the Molecular Reconstruction gimmick so it can get super zippy in offensive mode. I'd probably choose the Shepard over it but it is a solid choice for a fleet module-only cruiser/warship. The warship designation gives you a better mastery pool and a ton of tac seating but you lose cruiser command auras.

Just having one or two people on voice who know how the objectives work is beautiful. Even with one of us getting disconnected at the last stage we still managed to pull off the win! Hugh G.

Do old episodes scale up a lot when you hit max level? I just got to 65, went back to an old episode I've been repeating every so often because it gives a free beam array, and absolutely got my rear end handed to me.

Yes, scaling at 65 is hosed until you get a decent kit of gear.

One of my favorites is my Caitian melee boff. Between Pounce, Lunge, and the Furiadon Fangs she has 3 distance closers and runs like the loving wind (The Burnham CQC armor/shield help). She can hit pretty hard too! https://i.imgur.com/EVcGHCo.mp4 https://gfycat.com/spicylinearape

An away team of 4 vet boffs in omega gear would cap the whole team's dodge and avoidance so you were incapable of taking more than 1 damage from any attack. You could just afk anywhere on the map and infinitely tank swarms of whatever. Alas

Hey Goons I find myself in desperate need of Fleet Credits. Is there anybody who can spin up some projects on Dental or one of it's subsidiaries to help a brother out? I grabbing what I can but everything needs Dilithium which I don't have tons of. If I'm dumb and there is a better way to earn Fleet Credits please tell me that as well.
