quote:Gathering very rare materials presents additional challenges beyond just completing an Elite queue. Because these materials are hard to come by, we wanted to make sure that if you were rewarded with very rare materials that you'd know which specific material you'd be getting. This means that each queue, based upon where it takes place (ground or space) and a few other factors will only reward one type of very rare material. For instance, playing an elite space STF against the Borg, like Khitomer Vortex, will reward Trellium-K from all Advanced packs earned while playing that queue. Likewise, playing an elite ground queue against the Undine such as Undine Infiltration will reward

I suppose it is one (relatively significant) motivation to play more than the usual three or four STFs in the queue. They really should take a look at some of the older ones and revamp them a bit so they aren't such a slog or confusing. Ground combat has definitely improved since release, but it could definitely use some touching up in the queues if it's going to be a requirement for farming crafting materials. Two caveats though: - This will make Buschmaki's IGE forays much more hilarious - This will make a lot more of the 'dont want to do shooty shooty to craft' crowd a lot angrier, which is also hilarious.

How do I join the summer event on Risa? I transwarped to the planet and the only option is "classic beach." Is there some new account restriction?

Yeah, I'm finding myself wielding two ships depending on what stfs I'm running. For crystal and azure, I run my carriers because 4 frigates + broadside faw puts out plenty. For infected space though, I bring the vet ship (or dyson if fed, because gently caress the chimera's look) as carriers don't lend themselves well there due to slower turning rates.

For Crystalline Catastrophe using an escort is kind of a pain in the rear end even though I placed better, because while the D'deridex can circle around the Entity at a distance and avoid almost all damage, I have to keep the Mogai moving slowly (if at all) and facing the Entity, which means I get hit a lot more and death is a very real possibility.

Really? I've never trusted the Random Number Gods that much, I figured something that does a little more damage all the time is better than something that does a lot more damage on occasion. Especially since I don't have any Romulan Operative boffs aside from Tovan Khev right now.

Yeah but because of the way damage gets calculated you get almost no extra damage from [dmg] mods. It only adds 10% of your base damage so thats +10% of the damage you get out of a common mk I gun without tac consoles or skill points in weapons. [acc]x2 [ctd] is a pretty affordable combo and is really good if you mostly PVE and don't want to swap guns everytime you PVP. Or just get romulan plasma with [acc]x2 for all purpose or [crtd]x2 for PVE stomping. Lagomorphic fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jul 11, 2014 |

I'll keep that in mind for any future ship builds I do. One day I'm going to dig up the Scimitar and re-outfit it with Romulan plasma weapons, so I'll probably use [CrtD]x2 for those. (which means I'll need to buy more fleet consoles, so I guess I'd better start farming)

Just a heads up for any pure PVE'er in this game: It's tuned for those utter fuckup pubbies to be able to complete. If your core BoFF skill build is good then your actual ship gear is largely irrelevant. Don't stress over getting specific gear at first - it makes it easier but its in no way required to still excel at all the PVE content. What I'm saying is don't be afraid to use mk XI white space lasers until you're space rich if you don't PVP. It really won't stop you beating all the pubbies in a DPS race regardless. Of course if you PVP then disregard all this because having best in slot everything is really loving important there.

Incoming newbie. This is my first time playing this game because I now have a computer that doesn't suck and I've been grinding away on missions for the last week or so. Got myself to Lt. Commander 13 or whatever. I graduated at the bottom of my class and I'm the worst Vulcan to ever exist. I'm rocking a grabage scow of a cruiser with pretty much the same newbie bridge crew I had when I was Level 1 and I'm more or less totally self taught up to now thanks to wikis. I'm not paying for anything (yet  ) and I would like to join a goon fleet and maybe even do other things instead of missions because that might be fun?S'trafe@andelusive

One day I'm going to dig up the Scimitar and re-outfit it with Romulan plasma weapons, so I'll probably use [CrtD]x2 for those. Crit Damage isn't especially worth it either. Crit Damage is only especially worth it if you're critting often in the first place. Romulans have a fairly significant leg up on this via Romulan Operative(1-2% per bridge officer depending on the rank of Operative. You yourself as a Romulan can also take it as a trait, it's the 1.5% version), but there ain't that much raw Crit Chance to be had in the wild. Your base Crit is 2.5%. Every weapon can get CritHx2(x3 is theoretical, but put it this way, most of weapons that have it are special in some way, like the Experimental Romulan Plasma Beam Array). So per weapon is 4%. Assimilated Module(Borg Rep) grants 0.92%. Accuracy Overflow(That is, accuracy over 100%-the base is 95%, not counting the target's Defence%, which is affected by whole bunches of things, including movement speed(Never stop moving EVER)-turns into extra crit chance and crit damage) grants some, but as far as I'm aware no one knows the exact conversion rate. Fleet grants the Vulnerability Locators which are 1.6% per one. There's also the max Dyson Rep Auto Targeting Modules for Accuracy. The Dyson deflector grants 5% Accuracy for Overflow. Nukara rep has the Particle Converter universal console granting 10% extra accuracy for Beams only. Accurate trait, of course. 10% Accuracy. I'm sure I've missed plenty. Long story short, it's hard to get raw crit chance high, so crit damage isn't as useful as you'd like. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Jul 11, 2014 |

My new girlfriend is insisting that I watch DS9, which I never watched before, so I figure I can play this to deal with the tedium that is DS9. I have a Science Vice Admiral from a few years back, but I figured what the hell and made myself a Tactical Romulan, on Federation side. Can I get an invite to some stuff on the Romulan? Name in-game is Emergency Advisory Hologram, and name on that wiki is same as my username here, Keshik. I didn't ever get a confirmation email from the wiki, but whatever. Can anyone give me advice on what's worth buying nowadays? I have a bunch of zen left over from the old days. I also have a bunch of gear and duty officers on my old Vice Admiral that I dunno if I can send it to my low-level dude to twink him out or not, any advice on that would be appreciated.

Requesting wiki access as Woolie_Wool. BTW is the Biotech Antiproton Turret kit module as good as the Romulan Flamethrower Turret kit module? One of the fleet admirals opened up a whole slew of lockboxes and started passing around their contents like candy, and I got this kit module among other things. The DPS on the tooltip is insane, around 90 DPS, but I wonder if it's bugged like the Omega torp tooltip. I already have the Romulan Flamethrower Turret.
