It's important to note the adamant is a raider rather than an escort/warship so it probably fly a fair bit differently, if that matters.

Yeah, but that just makes it worse for my tastes. If I can't sit there and take a beating I don't like the chassis. My biggest problem with figuring what sci ship I want to use because they have some serious glass jaws if you gently caress up.

Just too many ships. Cryptic has to start deleting things from peoples accounts, only way to make this work

Also yeah. Though given we have a new Kelvin movie in the works, hopefully this means we'll finally get the Kelvin -A and Beyond uniforms. Make the -A a miracle worker and I'll have my dream ship.

You can't load the quad phaser and agony quad phaser on the same ship, in case anyone was banking their purchase of the Adamant on that

That's very disappointing. I wanted the extra quad firepower but Cryptic hates fun.

I picked up the Lexington myself. Gonna drop the pile of free Agony Phasers they gave out a while back on it, and combine it with the Torment Engine to laugh as every phaser beam creates a DoT with chance of setting them more on fire.

Meanwhile, there will be a patch tomorrow to fix the event progress bug.

"Fix" is rather strong word, maybe "put more bubble gum and tape around the ball of bubble gum and tape to make it go again".

I got hit with that bug too but gently caress it, only one day worth of progress so I'll skip a ticket and wait for the patch.

Nice that the free T6 ship tokens work with the new stuff. No need to spend money if you hoarded.

Use a miracle worker ship with mixed armament synergy III. Then in the rear slots equip two omni beams, a cannon (to proc mixed armaments) and a borg cutting beam. Now you'll never need or miss that third omni beam.

I realise this doesn't help with most ships in the game but its maybe a solution of sorts.

Cygnus setup! Concentrate firepower's the only worthwhile command boff ability right?

What's worth it for TempOp boff skills?

On a different note, I really wish all the non-original hull deflectors on the galaxy didn't look completely awful. And all the andromeda-based necks and pylons are designed to work with the andromeda hulls and don't really work on the original hull, they're too long. Really limits the space barbie. His whole set of Galaxy designs is one of the few areas where I think Tom Marrone is just completely off base in his take on things.

This has been your daily galaxy whining from MikeJF.

I don't love the long necks either, but I am surprisingly happy w/ the engineering hull of the Ross. I don't love his nacelles either, but I like them more than the original 1701-Ds, and I don't really know what I'd want to see differently.

Oh yeah I don't have the Ross so I won't speak to that one. It looks better than most, although it's a bit too bulbous.

I'm sort of wondering what our next 'upgrade' in the game will be. After the Experimental token, and Captain upgrades.

I sort of think we'll get something to add more BOFF seats to a ship. Something like an additional universal ensign seat might be a nice little thing to get everyone to buy an upgrade for a bunch of their ships...

Well, you get Ensign BOFF seat with 1 token, upgrade that to Lt. with 2 more tokens, to lt. cmdr. with 4 more tokens, and top it off with cmdr. seat with 8 more tokens. You could sell fifteen 500 ZEN a pop tokens per ship per character.

Or make T7 ships which start with that ensign seat, and make that T6-X -> T7 more expensive special token.

Hire me Cryptic, I am available for consultation.

Lockbox ship account unlocks or multiple skill and trait templates. They gave away so many respecs they may as well give it one last go and make it more convenient to optimize for the ship you are flying.

The end times will be when they let you lift seating from one ship to another for ultimate vanity.

If anyone was still trying to afk solo Iuppiter Iratus while the anniversary event is still up, I think today's patch fixed/broke it so it doesn't time out.

Haven't tried Iuppiter, but Operation Wolf still works when solo AFKed. It also gives a fair bit more marks on autocompleting (base reward of 60 vs Iuppiter's 31 - before factoring in daily marks boxes and current bonus marks event).

With Iuppiter you just have to kill the first wave of enemies. Then you can cloak and fly away and it will autocomplete after about 10 minutes.

Took the Cygnus in to the Wanted patrol to level it up. Fired it’s anomaly at the first wave of Kazon and was like “oh wow this just killed everyone this has to be overpowered” and then 10 seconds later they all reappeared. Helps to remember what these consoles actually do :)

On the bug side, seems like the Terran ships have some issues in updating name and registry numbers…

Only do this if you're trying to troll DPS chasers. CF is bugged, and lower levels will overwrite higher versions of it. You should only run CF III unless you're being annoying on purpose.

As for other command abilities, Call Emergency Artillery and Suppression Barrage are great, but won't fit on the Cygnus. For a lt command seat, Overwhelm Emitters and Rally Point Marker are decent; RPM is going to be better in situations where you can sit and defend a point.

I keep forgetting the klingons and feds aren't completely segregated to their own sections anymore.

Edit: I hosed around with my privacy settings to see if that was the problem, if anyone would be kind enough to try sending an invite to Faayla@Ardryn I'd appreciate it.

You should have a Dental invite waiting for you. You've got a chat channel invite as well type"/channel_join TheNextGooneration" into the chat box to join.
