Is it just me, or did the latest Arc update just break the game? I can't press Shift without it bringing up the streaming settings menu, and that seems like a pretty bad key to override for your hotkey, given that it is required for running in the default keybind and it is used for typing capital letters when chatting. Edit: I fixed it by changing the default shortcut for opening the Arc overlay from Shift+F1, Shift in practice for some reason, to End. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jun 13, 2021 |

I suggest just launching the game directly via its own exe instead of using arc for anything but redeeming promos.

I'm just gonna see if Cryptic's support can fix it eventually. In the meantime, it seems like how builds work has changed a good bit. If I want to use the bathtub carrier I have, what's a good build for that?

The beam ship guide here https://www.sto-league.com/beam-ships-in-the-current-century/ is solid and you can probably adopt it to a carrier.

I've got a dumb question of my own related to traits, namely I picked up Onboard Dilithium Recrystalizer for cheap and I'm curious at what power level does it activate at? 100 or 130? If it's the later it's obviously useless, but at 100 I could get some use out of it.

^^Max is 125 unless you're using one of the abilities that changes the max. Since it's only non-weapon power, I'd say it's useless for any DEW ship, but could see some use on non-romulan sci or torp boats. Reddit reports that engineer captain abilities count as triggers as well as engineer boff abilities, if you happen to be an engineer.Eimi posted:https://www.sto-league.com/a-brief-guide-to-getting-the-most-out-of-hanger-pets/ Eimi posted:I had this problem logging into in old KDF contra alt, you have to do at least one tutorial mission iirc.

 I see inflation has been hard at work in my absence. Uh yikes on buying loving anything for a bit. I asked the GMs to move all the affected characters to Qo'nos so here's hoping I can get that mission done.

Admiralty missions and endeavors can be a decent source of raw EC, beyond that you're going to be farming dilithium to convert to zen to convert to keys to sell if you want raw EC, but the zen is probably better spent buying ships directly than trying to save for the off chance someone is selling your lockbox ship on the exchange for anything less than the cap.

After unfucking my klank captains I hit 65 in short order off admiralty. Is there a way to claim my cross-faction admiralty cards without spend all day claiming and dismissing dozens of ships?

These days you can just visit the ship... hangar... person I forget the specific name of at a starbase, the one where you choose which boat to fly. Once you check your ships you'll automatically be given cards for every currently owned ship and every account-unlocked ship, though it may take a second or two. This was added a while back and thank god for it.

Sometimes it takes relogging, or like just buy a shuttle for 20k. Shuttles are free pass cards anyway so always a good idea to get em on alts.

I'm doing stuff on New Romulus. And *EVERY* time I go into some cave or whatever following the story, I get a new story mission to go back into the cave and do the exact same thing again. This is irritating.

This was added a while back and thank god for it. There are certain ships this doesn't work with, namely anything you might get from the pick-3 Mudd packs that has multiple starship. This will result in you effectively getting the same ship multiple times because most of those packs were from before cross faction ships became a thing.

should be noted that this guide is from last year and pre-superior area of denial nerf, its still a good trait for spreading the damage resistance debuff with B:FAW but it is no longer the be-all-end-all trait for carriers and using the rare To'Duj fighters is no longer the best option

It's still a great trait period for carriers, the nerf is overrated, all that did was keep your pets from topping DPS charts on their own. Which admittedly was pretty hilarious.

I'm struggling to get into this game. From the one mission I took, it seems to be a major time commitment. Are there simpler missions where I can just go fight in space, or do they tend to always involve some travel, ground combat and space combat. My ship was blown up on the first mission I took fighting some sort of shape shifter. I get how the combat works, but I'm probably not making the most of the situation. I just sort of did the Pirates' like thing of pointing my strongest ship side toward the enemy and firing when I was able.

You know your progress has been saved when the name at the top of the mission log on the right side of your screen changes. This most often happens when you beam up from the ground portion or leave one star/planetary system for another system for a consecutive space portion.

Is there anything else I have to do to get the reputation doubling effects? I made a jem'hadar who is at tier 5 Iconian Resistance and Task Force Omega. Finished the intro and picked federation. Then I went and did a daily project on my main and it only gave 2500 reputation, which is the normal amount.

Then cryptic made a bunch of changes to the reputation system, and for some reason (probably laziness) instead of deleting the missions or folding them into the other missions, just added them into the mission list. The good news is that this only happens for the New Rom series of missions, and if you just did the caves one it only happens one more time. If you look at the Episodes tab, you can identify the ones like this because they'll have the same mission picture as the mission directly above them.

One question is did it take a long time because you were reading/absorbing the story, or did it take a long time because of combat? The storylines don't get any shorter in missions, but combat gets faster as you get better equipment and learn better how to fly a ship. Which you'll probably have to do by asking a lot of questions or getting information out of game, because the game itself does a horrible job teaching you how to play. If it helps, I generally finish that mission on new alts in less than 5 minutes. Some of that is skipping all the dialog I already know, some is knowing when I can run ahead to trigger the next part of the mission, some is knowing how to build even a low level ship in the game, and some is having access to event gear.

The space combat took a long time. I was barely doing any damage, and I was blown up before the federation ships showed up to help. It was dreadful slow going. I don't remember it being that bad when I played before, so maybe I need to look at my ship and see if something is setup wrong.

Was this more or less the first non-tutorial mission where you're escorting a Vulcan to a monastery? You're supposed to do next to no damage to that boss ship, and focus on shooting down projectiles to stay alive long enough if I recall.

I was in a hurry this weekend, and the game wasn't having that.

Space combat will be slower and more deliberate for a good chunk of the early levels, but yeah, that's a unique situation that isn't communicated very well.
