Wizard of the Deep posted:And one Borg Kinetic Cutting Beam, which synergizes with the Console - Universal - Assimilated Module. I think that's still one of the better free consoles in the game. I'm lazy and usually run it on my setups. AssMod is good, all hail AssMod. The beam isnt so bad, but not so good as to worry about if/when you have anything better to put there. Unless you optimize for Beam Overload, then the 2-piece bonus has a chance to proc regularly and is cool af when it does. E: AssSnipe

HiroProtagonist posted:Stirring poo poo in zone chat in ESD or Risa is honestly, as much of an indictment as it sounds like, once of the most entertaining portions of this game. It's so effective these days that my enjoyment of the process has diminished. Used to be putting a spark to the pile took some effort. You'd get a sense of pride and glee. Now that loonies are mainstream there isn't much challenge to it. Frankly I can't think up stuff to do that they aren't already doing to themselves by default.

Here's my N'kaam Scout Ship (T5-U) as it is now. A bunch of it is just mission crap slotted to replace commons, but I'd appreciate some guidance on replacements. I love zooming around and being able to turn on a dime, but I'd like to be a bit beefier in the damage department and maybe get some more cool skills (bonus if they match the red colour scheme, but not absolutely necessary). 2x Ba'ul Antiproton Dual Beam Bank Mk XII (CrtD)x2 (Dmg) Gravimetric Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XII Kinetic Cutting Beam Mk XII (Dmg)x3 Omni-directional Antiproton Beam Array Mk XII (Acc) (Arc) (Dmg)x2 Ancient Omni-directional Beam Array (Acc) (Arc) (Dmg) Bajor Defense Deflector Array Mk XII (CrtX) (DrainX) (ShCap) Resonating Secondary Deflector Mk XII (EPG) (HullCap) Bajor Defense Hyper-impulse Engines Mk XII (Full)x2 (Spd) Bajor Defense Hyper Injection Warp Core Mk XIII Bajor Defense Covariant Shield Array Mk XII (Cap)x3 Engineering: Pax RCS Accelerator Mk XII Voth Phase Decoy Science: Defensive Drone Guardians Temporal Anomaly Projector Interphasic Instability Shield Refrequencer Mk XII (ShHP) Temporal Disentanglement Suite Mk XII Tactical: 2x Vulnerability Locator Mk XII (AP) Lorca's Custom Fire Controls Mk XII

The N'kaam lends itself to going hard on space magic. Science poo poo is SUPER GOOD right now but it requires some investment. You don't actually have to pay money but you gotta work towards all the bits.

I would suggest the Neutronic Torpedo and Thoron Polaron Beam Array from the Delta Reputation. They have a set bonus that buffs Radiation damage, which is what your Secondary Deflector does. The torp also spreads a radiation dot to nearby targets. You could also grab the BIoneural Gelpack Console from the same reputation to get a big kinetic damage click ability that's buffed by EPG. I feel like that combo works better than the Particle Emission Torp, since the PEP relies on your target staying in the cloud, which Gravity Well helps with, but not always.

You don't actually have to pay money but you gotta work towards all the bits. They've added a ridiculous amount of must-have lockbox traits, ship traits, universal consoles, and boff skills over the past few content updates that have buffed the crap out of science while also maximizing eye-burning visuals. And a lot of the newer TFOs rely on swarms of enemies and end up broken if you pop in with a Nebula and spam various types of spore-infused black holes and fire tornadoes. Science is an awesome ride right now, but I'm betting it gets nerfed again because of how trivial it makes all content, and that's saying something for this game.

I had a lot of fun with the Bird of Prey's and dual cannons until around lvl 40 when I started getting my poo poo pushed in randomly from spike and really just general damage. So I decided to switch to a battle cruiser with beam arrays and have done noticably better. For anyone else that hasn't gotten to rep/fleet gear I've found that with the following works pretty well: Vor'cha Battle Cruiser Retrofit: lvl 50(?) free ship with 4/4 fore and aft weapon slots The Measure of Morality(part 1): rare rifle, good for Khitomer since a portion of it is on the ground The Khitomer Discord(event mission): rare disrupter beam array Tactical Consoles with +disrupter dmg I made 65 with this extremely basic build pretty easy compared to Bird of Preys. I actually wish I had switched sooner because 40-50 was a bit tedious. Also Afterlife quest for Klingons is bugged, use "Eject Warp Plasma" engineering bridge officer and mines to kill the untargetable ships near the planet. Why does everyone roll need on greens in A House Divided TFO?

Dropped equipment is basically vendor trash. There's an occasional rare outlier (usually a purple tac console), but almost everything else has better equivalents from reps, fleet vendors, or whatever. Even weapons are usually better off crafted or bought at purple+ quality due to the cost of upgrading quality later, though green or blue stuff is fine enough as a leveling stopgap.

I was told it was customary to roll need on everything. On that note, how much salvage does one require for re-engineering? I'm still levelling R&D, but I only just started salvaging.

A lot less than you'd think but more than you probably have?  It's hard to say, but it's like 500 per roll and RNG is gonna RNG. Honestly trolling weapons isn't too bad since there's only a few mods per slot, but deflectors and such may take a while. It's the sort if thing where you get flat footed if you never salvage stuff and suddenly need to reroll, but trivial if you get into a habit of grinding stuff every now and then to build a supply.Upgrading is definitely far worse.

If you ever need salvage just do one of the battlezones like Undine or Terran, especially at the end when it's just five minutes of non-stop enemy waves. You'll fill up your inventory completely with salvageable trash items easily. Works great for the endeavor too. There's also some patrols that are good for salvage too (Search and Rescue comes to mind)

super sweet best pal posted:AssMod still good after all these years? Glad to hear it. CritH is still harder to come by than CritD so its good times. depending on build there are better consoles, but at that point you'd be tuning a build to a higher degree than my dumbass can help with. As for newer, the lorca tac console from discovery rep is the same deal +crith, + weapon power, and it gives a decent bonus for all weapons vs shields. Again, as general advice, its good as gently caress, to the point you may want to sacrifice a locator for it. And if you have room for the torp or dbb, the 2 piece gives you stacking critD on a critical hit. Error 404 fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Jul 19, 2020 |

I mentioned to the nopps ppl that for a while now i had been unable to do STFs, that my stf screen was blank like this After a while they diagnosed that my problem was that I had not done the mission "Duties of Command" the very first klingon mission, the one with the shrieking ferengi and the smuggling yintagh. As part of the YeAr of The KLIngOn you have to go back and do that mission on your max lv everything main, or else you cant do STFs anymore. Apparently there are situations where not doing that mission + being in certain maps makes it so you can never leave that map to go and finish it hakimashou fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jul 19, 2020 |
