BO on a carrier, because you can get even lazier and not bother to activate your powers and let your frigates or whatever slowly chip away at the target while you casually enjoy your drink & whatever else you are doing that isn't game related. Plus they'll auto launch replacements now. I mean if they're going to time gate things anyway why not take the slow and lazy approach?

When most stfs have enemies warping in small amounts from many directions they get annoying to aim.

I'm playing through Q's Winter Wonderland for the first time, and it's absolutely fantastic. I love the little human, Andorian, and Klingon gingerbread men and women, some of which have their arms bitten off. It reminds me of the Shockwave games in bad 3D in the 2000s. It's incredible that they kept adding missions onto this over 2013-2017, and now it's the biggest and best seasonal event of any MMO I've ever played.

It really is amazing, how good and meaty some of the STO content is, when you compare it to how bad some of the systems are. The TFOs and events are frequently timegated grind, but the story missions are legit good, if a little on the violent side for the Star Trek ethos. That's the real frustration of STO: the highs are pretty high, but the lows are just so penny-pinchingly low and so much more present than the highs.

Tunicate posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/wiki/macros Thank you for this. I don't see a ui_settings.txt file in my Live directory that lists the syntax for each bindable key, though. Has the list been moved to a different file, or is there a list somewhere online? I don't really need it, because I binded my boff powers, AoE buffs, and AoE debuffs to the B key anyway, but I'm curious about the keys which may not be as obvious. edit: nevermind, found it https://sto.gamepedia.com/Guide:_Keybinds#Special_Keys_.26_Names galenanorth fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Dec 10, 2020 |

That's the T6 Ambassador/Vor'cha. The T6 Excelsior gets you the Improved Weaponized Emitters trait, which is only useful for one engineering ability and one command ability.

If I'm following the thread that branched off correctly, yes, we have been talking about the T6 Ambassador, in light of the T6 Legendary Excelsior coming out. EDIT: Ah, I see where Coq was saying to not get "it", and I thought the it being referred to was the ship from the post being replied to, not the Excelsior (Sulu's ship).
