MikeJF posted:Goddamn dumb data points. If I recall correctly Cryptic was on record as saying the Bortas sales were so low they didn't even cover the art costs to make. By that metric I can't imagine a visual remaster happening unless they maybe use the idea to train someone brand new to the team or something. They'd probably still put such a person to work on something that might sell better.

This is actually something I do not get on their business model; do they use in-house people or commission artists to do that? Because if it is in-house, those people should be considered running costs, and if they use external commissions then why? The game currently makes money, and providing new content is live or die-stuff for free-2-play games to keep the whales in. That should be baked into their long-term goals, not considered on "item to item" level.

It’s the opportunity cost of what your in house person could be doing otherwise. If you pay them 30/hr and it takes them 100 hours to make the thing that’s a $3000 thing you had them do. If you only sell $2000 worth you’d have been better off having them scrub toilets instead.

g0del posted:The B'rel looks great, and pilot maneuvers are fun, but the ship itself is not great. The Temer is a much better BoP that came out at the same time, and the Temer was free. 5/1 is better than 4/2, and command is a much better spec seat than even pilot + intel together.  A better comparison would be the M'chla anyway since that's also a pilot raider and was free from the Klingon recruit campaign. It's amazing how sad the 11th anniversary pack was.

I like the Legendary Vor'cha. The T5 Fleet Vor'cha was my main KDF ship for like five years. I can't defend buying the 11th pack on any grounds other than "I didn't spend any real money" but I'm a sucker

At least it's better than their ideas for the Galaxy which were respectively suck and what if we wanked off to the awful looking three nacelle looking trash. And if you like Gal-X you are provably wrong and your taste is bad.

I'd take a legendary bundle of Dominion ships. Most of the recognizable Jem'hadar ships from the show are just the T5 versions. Throw in an updated Galor/Keldon and maybe the Breen warship. VV Guess I didn't spend enough time in the ship customizer. Oh they're from lockboxes and stuff, that's why I missed them. revtoiletduck fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Jan 1, 2022 |

There's T6 versions of all of those. The main skins are different but you can use the OG visuals for all of them.

I'd argue the off-brand version used in the parody Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning was the best version. It's basically a carbon copy depending on the version of the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOoMowFpZs (it's Finnish so make sure you select the correct language subtitles)

MikeJF posted:What's taking the Cali so long. I'd say the appearance rules Lower Decks has, but that didn't stop the Parliament. So IDK...maybe the devs aren't too interested in it, or they don't know how to make it interesting. I mean, whether it's actually another skin or not, it'd basically be another Miranda? I am surprised they haven't at least given it away as an admiralty card like they did the doffs

From what I understand of the bits of the show I've seen here, you've also got the issue that the whole point is that Calis kinda suck. They're very much not supposed to be giant borg-cube defeating juggernaut battle cruisers. It seems like it would be kinda weird having a T6U Doom Cali.

The same could be said for an awful lot of ships, though. My T6U doom nova doesn't exactly fit the ship.

I personally feel it's more because they will be 'forced' to release it as a lockbox ship, and they know the riot that will occur because of that because the Parliament shitstorm would be a storm in a teacup in comparison.

They really do not playtest things at all, do they? Even if you are team red, and left for the wonderland from Qo'noS, you stil are dumped outside Sol system when you get out of the wonderland.

Eimi posted:No idea on the ground stuff, though I think endothermic induction zone is great for sci. Endothermic is awesome and I nearly always have it slotted. I like the stun vs the knockback of Exothermic. Pairs well with Cold Fusion Flash, too. Toss a Paradox Bomb at a group, clump them up, drop your cold dots/stuns on them.

I completely forgot about those for arena. Since getting competent teams is difficult I've focused mainly on solo DPS without nannies.

This Red Alert that starts next week, its 14 days and requires 5 dailies, so it should be one that gives out the T6-X upgrade? I remember one from the Fall which said that it does but actually didn't, because Cryptic didn't bother to update their loading screens to match the event.

[9:44][Combat (Self)]Your Gravity Pull Device deals 25200 (15500) Physical Damage(Critical) to Spawnmother God I love this build. Spamming Gravity Pull is fun as gently caress. Wish ground PvP was still active because the teleport module + Motivation, Ambush, Gravity Pull wipes out an entire team in one shot.

Teron D Amun posted:Paradox Bomb from Temporal, its universal and can be used for all specs and pulls in then damages enemies. Good if you want to clump them up before dumping another ability on them. N'thing Paradox Bomb. I run a couple of copies. It's really good even though your boffs will set a pair off on opposite sides of a group pretty often. A mob getting sucked back and forth between the two isn't going to be shooting at you as they get blendered around the room. Uncertainty Burst sounds pretty good too, but I got bored when I started training my boffs last time and haven't finished training them yet. Don't want to spend the money until I finally grab some "endgame" boffs. Paradox has double the pull range of the UB teleport and should clump them back up in a ball. "Science/Temporal: Uncertainty Burst, Cold Fusion Flash, Medical Tricorder, Paradox Bomb" is the boff setup I saw. https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/commen...share&context=3
