You can get 'free' fleet dilithium from the Admiralty tour of duty for the KDF, but that does take a while.

drat, I was kinda hoping the Romulan BoP would be pilot because it's always been a tiny super-maneuverable quasi-raider. Hell, the T6 has a pilot seat. And the promo pack version has turn 19. I guess nobody checked that when they gave the legendary turn 18. It's a bit weird looking. It's trying to be like the Picard one, but it's not very good at it.   The Picard one's surface protrusions don't interrupt the front curve of the ship. and the STO one's windows are pretty meh. Back view looks more accurate   E: actually, pulling up the episode, there are shots where the front curve is interrupted? It's like they used two different models. There's one with more pronounced surface detailing that it looks like the STO team got. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jun 11, 2020 |

The costume was a combo of parts you could only assemble using the liberated borg reman bridge officer that came with the legacy of romulus pack back when that expansion was new.

So I found out a fun combo, the Terran Impulse Engines have a proc on them that gives you +100 all resistances every time a subsystem goes offline. I use Override Subsystem Safeties constantly, and with no downside thanks to my DrainX build. It's really quite nice and gives me a shitload of res when it's up. It also looks really cool when it's on: https://i.imgur.com/Aj1VnKw.mp4 HD version (imgur sucks): https://gfycat.com/flashyeasykiwi

g0del posted:I'm just pissed that it's such a bad price compared to the previous legendary ship pack. $200 is a lot, but it at least gave you 10 ships. $20 per ship is a much better deal than $60 for a ship, and the other stuff they're giving doesn't look like it's worth $40. The thing is, despite $200 for 10 ships technically breaking down to $20 per ship, they would never actually sell them individually for $20 each. That's less than they sell your common t6 ship for, so they would never do it for a "legendary ship". You are only getting that price breakdown because you are buying the entire bundle, so that kind of comparison will never really make sense. But I agree the stuff they are tossing in with the bird of prey is pretty much vendor trash. On a completely unrelated note: as this game starts to get older I think about all the monies I have spent on these pixels and that after it shuts down not being able to play with them anymore. I hope the people with the technical know-how can grab the data/code/whatever they need to run an EMU. They won't be able to legally sell ships, so I'm guessing they will just make them all freely available in the ship vendor for EC or whatever and then we can still fly them again in cyber-heaven. greasythepirate fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jun 13, 2020 |

g0del posted:I agree that they probably wouldn't sell single legendary ships for $20 when regular T6 ships are $30. But $120, on sale at $60 is really pushing it. Regularly $60, on sale at $40 might be more reasonable. Or as Asimo pointed out, throw in a legendary* D'deridex and another legendary ship. I completely agree the "regular price" is too high. Part of me also believes the "regular price" isn't really intended to even be bought; I think it's just their way of trying to rush people to buy it before the price goes up. Having absolutely no evidence to back this up, I believe the majority of purchases of this ship/pack will be during the sale price. And because they know that, I think they will regularly put it "on sale" again...so it actually sells. And yes I also wish they would have released a real Rom ship bundle with the DD!

Yeah it's pretty blatantly a way to have limited time sales and getting that FOMO panic without actually being "limited". And if they do sell a few at the absurdly overinflated price, hey, more money for them.

The environment suit's basically the best one of those by far too, don't forget it. Same stats, just lower damage resistances and some extra environmental damage resists (like all environment suits).

I'm a big fan of the TDI dual pistols, since dual pistols have the highest base damage in the game and they are the only ones with a 35m range. They've also got four separate attacks (Main, Secondary Exploit (with or without 7 chroniton charges), tertiary AoE expose), the 2-set bonus is really fantastic if you have a lot of DoTs as well. I've got so many procs at this point the info panel doesn't even fit on my screen anymore, it's absurd

Hmm, in 2 days I finish the latest T6 coupon. Which means I'd have enough Lobi to get a ship next 20% off Lobi Sale. I'm torn between the Bastille and the Vengeance. Both look good (the primary concern when playing The Paradox, Astika and Husnock Warship come in a close second for looks, and all have pretty good traits too. I'll likely never get the lobi for a ship again, so it's a tough choice.

Being absolutely incoherent is a Cryotic Studios trademark. As for what you're building towards... don't worry about it until you're actually at the level cap. Put the same sort of weapons on your ship (like "phaser dual heavy cannons and turrets" or "polaron beam arrays") maybe with a torpedo up front too, set your weapon power to 100, use tactical consoles that boost your guns' energy type, and you're basically good to go and experiment with everything else in the meanwhile.

I haven't played this game since the F2P launch. I logged in on an old character and the UI had a seizure of notifications, so I think it might be best to start fresh. Does Tact/Eng/Sci career matter at all? I seem to remember tactical was the always the best choice, no matter what ship you wanted to fly. Also I'm thinking I might play a Romulan, since I missed the launch of that expansion. Is there still a huge lack of content if you play/join the KDF?

In theory all the classes are viable and can clear all content just fine. In practice just roll a tac, you'll do twice+ the damage of the other two with no real downsides for it because damage mechanics in this game are designed by madmen. As for faction... well, if you're romulan it doesn't really matter too much? Klank-aligned has a few perks like being able to get the best console in the game for a pittance off the exchange instead of off a crapoy lockbox ship and thebklank version of boats tending to be slightly better due to having cloaks, but Feds still have a lot of subtle entrenched advantages like most of the recent lockbox/promo ships being fed-only, a much better home hub to navigate, not having to be stuck with hideous loving Disco Klingon ships, having no access to the giant legendary shil bundle, and so on. My main for the past few years has been a klankreman and while I don't regret it there's still a lot of occasional things that make it obvious Cryptic doesn't put a whole lot of effort into klank stuff.  Also keep in mind everyone can use warbirds now, but being romulan proper is still the best option. It's just not as big a gap these days due to new boff options making SRO boffs standout less and jem'hadar starting at high level instead of 1.

I think the only argument against rolling a Tac would be if you want to do a Scihole build, where an Engineer's extra ability to boost power levels can contibute to that damage. But I mainly roll Sci/Eng captains myself.
