I dunno, for the two weeks that they spent playing the game before inevitably uninstalling it in disgust, at least that's a few more Dental tags running around STO pissing people off.

I have to say, I'm enjoying it. I can see it's limitations but I haven't hit them yet and I can't see myself dropping it in the short term. Still plenty to learn and poo poo to buy/grind.

Honestly, the fact that they're making a battleground for the next is promising for this game having a brief moment of entertainment again. I can't decide if it's because they only just figured out what players like, or because in the face of falling numbers they've had to resort to making what they always knew players *ugh* liked.

On top of that, balance wise the game is back to being pretty close to what a lot of us old spergs considered the golden age of STO, immediately prior to Delta. While STO will never be a good game, it is no longer an actively terrible game, and most of us are just burned out on the F2P grind. Really the only thing missing is an active battlezone and Breach. Breach is still the epitome of fun STF design and also the epitome of Cryptic's "The Federation in STO commits a shitload of warcrimes" philosophy, so it's always gonna be the best unless this mirror poo poo literally involves nuking Bajor or something.

I mean I sound like a bitter rear end in a top hat and I kinda am since I'm still pissed that Cryptic hosed the game, but it has improved a lot the past few months (the bridge officer improvements alone were too drat long overdue) and hopefully having actual content that people do will get things back to a playable state. I don't actually hold out hope, but I'm willing to be surprised I guess?  And I don't mean to discourage new folks. The core of the gameplay systems are still fun and unique, and the best parts of the game (making hilariously horrible costumes and trolling uptight spergs) are as good as they've ever been.

I've been playing on and off the past couple weeks, and have legit had no issues getting into pretty much any of the queues. They were certainly dead for a good while, but that appears to have been rectified. What's more, while the upgrade system is a massive dil sink if you want the top end poo poo, the game is still perfectly playable with Mk XII's in every slot. They added in the Mk XIV without actually adjusting enemy levels too much. You don't need the top end poo poo to have fun in this game. It's not a requirement for anything, beyond looking rich. Granted, that's a noble goal and it helps piss off pubbies, which is the real endgame of STO, but if some new dude just wants to buzz around in spaceships and look at explosions there's no point in going into a rant about the system because he literally won't have to worry about it while playing the content he wants to play. T6 ships, however, are necessary, and those being $30 is pretty loving annoying. I mean, STO's ship prices were always retarded, but just tacking an extra 5 bucks on the new endgame level ships you'll need to keep up is pretty lovely.

Sure there's stuff to do if you don't mind doing the same half dozen missions with varying amounts of brain dead mouth breathers over and over. I guess that's what it means to play an MMO though.

There's no motivation to innovate because churn gets enough people in the door and spending on the cash shops to sustain existing properties. Plus thanks to the ST license all PWE really needs to do to generate cash in STO is release new skins of existing iconic ships smeared with rancid nerd cum and pubbies gobble them up with poo poo eating grins.

T6 Gal-X stats are out, it's got the exact same seating as the T6 Gal. Just, y'know, with an extra tac console and a hanger bay and +crit as one of the starship masteries, so they can mock all of the people who bought Galaxies already.

People asking why goons are down on the game? Haven't really played after r&d weekend ended. Crafted a full set of epic 14 plasma science consoles. Within a couple hours of the r&d event ending they announced they were nerfing them again. Devs suck at understanding the playerbase

Interesting note from tonight's patch notes:20151007 Patch Notes posted:The Delta Recruit specific "Show Delta Recruit Details" button will now only display during a Delta Recruit event. Looks like we're going to get a replay of the Delta Recruitment sooner rather than later. Makes sense, since that seemed to be a big way to draw new

Good ship but you really want the ship trait which only comes with the cstore version. Owning the cstore version will also let you get the better fleet version for 1 FSM instead of 4. So buy some contraband, get some klank alts to level 11 (klanks are the quickest to get doffing unlocked on and you can use the klanks to farm contra) and start grinding dil.

It's been a lot of fun playing through the huge backlog of story missions, after being away for two full years. I've got enough high-end old gear that I'm just enjoying flying around in my super-Excelsior and being a starship again. Iconian grind, though, is there any way to get Gateway to Gre'thor quickplay be less dick-slamming than it is? Gre'thor was advertised as the 'easy way' to get Iconian marks, but it's always me in my old bugship slamming my face against the Dreadnought over and over, at the end. I mean, my equipment is two years out of date, but I've still got respectable DPS and this is normal for crying out loud, it shouldn't take half an hour to get this done.

Acceptable DPS two years ago is very low compared to acceptable DPS these days. Hate to break it to you but you're doing gently caress all damage now, especially if you're still using old builds and cannons. Also I'm stunned anybody actually likes the story content, I mean it's stuff to do and it sort of guides you but the story is so loving bad it's not even funny.

You misunderstand me, I'm not enjoying the story, that hilariously contrived mess of writing, inasmuch as the story missions, as in flying around shooting things in the face in new venues. When I packed it in, I was literally running the same fleet defense and ISE and such instances over and over again, identical every time. So, the new story missions are at least interesting in that there's new poo poo to look at and blow up. No big surprise on the damage thing, though.

Hestia Class Advanced Escort [T6]: Upgraded this starship's Ensign Tactical seat to Ensign Universal. Guessing sales were poo poo then. I guess even pubbies recognise a godawful layout when they see one now. Now that I think about it I don't recall ever seeing one in game.

A halfway decent T5U ship, properly equipped, will still out-DPS most pubbies using T6 ships. T6 or a top-end T5U with decent ship traits is probably necessary for elite space queues but for normal and advanced you can do just fine with almost any T5U. My tac guy out-DPSs most pubbies in a garbage T5U D'Kyr.
