Asimo posted:Nah, it appears on every ships. Mind you it's a bit less impressive on the larger ones - the Nicor's pretty tiny and the open "mouth" really shows off deflector graphics well - but it's quite a good look. Sort of want to see what the engine trails and shield graphics are like. Same here. If it looks good, I might start working on rep for my Scimitar.

Asimo posted:And with no chargeup time or weapon power drain or anything like that, just click and boom. It's probably one of the few (only?) 3 minute clicky damage powers that's worth taking up a console slot. The Vesta's deflector beam and the chain lightning console are also pretty great, though perhaps a bit situational.

Coming back from a couple of months break and it's amazing how the changes to reputation have made the whole process painless. Just by removing the bullshit barrier to entry of replicating pointless poo poo. It'd still be nice to have more reliable sources of Romulan and Tholian marks but at least farming the rep traits is doable with the space missions we get.

Oh yeah, I have more than enough marks for levelling. It'll be buying gear that'll suck, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to put the Borg set ok my Scimitar.

I ran into a gap when I levelled my latest 50 just because I skipped the entire Cardassian arc for being boring. It turns out if you do this you'll have to pick up one or two missions once you're onto the Breen/Task Force Omega stuff. I'd still recommend skipping the standard Cardassian content and picking up again at the 4400 missions.

I haven't done the "Scimitar looks like poo poo" rant in a while. I just don't get how Cryptic are happy to make some 3-packs like the Vestas and the Dyson Science Destroyers have three different profiles, but for the Scimitar you've got ugly, ugly and ugly with holes in the wings. How did they not take the opportunity to make at least one of the ships feel more like it belongs to the Romulan Republic? Why is the wing opening animation reserved for the pissweak Thalaron pulse? In an ideal world, the Falchion class would look like a bigger Valdore with a thicker main hull and downswept wings. Instead, half the Romulan player base are running around in weapons of mass destruction.

Poison Mushroom posted:Edit Should I bother hunting down anomalies while leveling and poo poo? I've no idea what these Alien Artifacts and and Radiation Samples and whatever are for, so I've just kinda been sitting on a pile of about 30 or 40 of them. Nah, feel free to ignore them. They're mats for crafting which is useless.

Woolie Wool posted:It is a doomsday wankship created for Star Trek Nematodes, it was horrendously ugly even in the movie. But OMG SCIMITAR, let's fly around in a ship made famous by loving Shinzon. I totally agree. I love the idea of the Republic having a flagship but god I wish it was some new design that mixed the Scimitar's overall profile with standard Romulan design aesthetics.

Introduce a setting where different bits of your ship glow when they're at full/decent power, so that a properly geared Plas Leech cruiser glows like a sun.

Asimo posted:The box from the rep projects are basically just bonus loot. You have a chance of anything from the current rep tier with a smaller chance of something from the next rep tier, and it can be blue or purple quality (and is the only way to get blue rewards from reps currently) with any of the available assortment of weapon modifiers. It's basically a way for complete newbies to get some gearing up while they level the reps, and with luck someone better geared might get some useful purple weapons from it. This is pretty much it. I've decked out my new Romulan engineer with Mk XII weapons and I've got at least one good beam array out of it. If you get something you can't use, vendor it to pay for the rep project.

What's the best way to grind out fleet credit? I want to upgrade to Elite Romulan Drones. I'm in NoP but should I de-fleet, drop marks into a lowbie fleet's Starbase and then rejoin?

Korgan posted:Doffs. Buy cheap ones on the exchange, use up those mini-doff packs you get from lockboxes, mash up greens into whites, whatever. We have hundreds of spots available for doffs right now. Doffs are how I made the vast majority of my fleet credit. gently caress yeah, thanks for this. Saving 100k for the drones will still take time, but it's going to be way less painful than I thought. Plus I was able to instantly buy the Odyssey uniform for my Fed alt, so

Post it in the wiki? Interesting changes in those patch notes. Cost and time will be the key to whether it surpasses rep sets/fleet gear.

CrushedWill posted:So I am in the process of trying to put STO on another computer. I installed the Arc client, installed STO, and patched it. All appeared ok until I launched STO. I now have a black screen with the graphics cursor only, and the music chiming away. That's a pain in the arse. I think I had to change my resolution in a text file - there should be advice on the official forum.

g0del posted:On the other hand, you're talking about leveling content, which is even more useless in this game than in most MMOs. 1-49 should be done as fast as possible so you can get to the end-game content. You can even still do all the missions at level 50, with level appropriate rewards. None of the lower-tier ships play anything like their end-game counterparts, so you might as well take an escort while leveling so you can at least blow through the space portions faster. I've gotten so used to broadsiding with endgame cruisers that I largely went with cruisers for my most recent levelling run. Until I hit 40, anyway, and realised that I could finally use my free Nebula.

Asimo posted:As a reminder for folks, today's the last day of the summer event. If you have any alts who need the ship (and you did it already on a char), run them through the rings tonight or tomorrow morning or you'll have to wait a year. I just squeaked in - got my internet switched on in my new apartment yesterday afternoon and finished everything off. Four characters, eight ships, and in retrospect I'll probably never use them except for special occasions.

Mondian posted:Nah, no chance at this. Only thing that cheap is the Suliban ship and the Elachi escort. The former, because of a surplus due to people hunting for Bulwarks/JHAS and the latter because pubbies hate escorts (also surplus due to people hunting secondary Elachi drops) . I'd be real surprised if this carrier settles below 150m. Whoa, poo poo. Back when I bought my Bastion there were a few going for that little. Bugger.

Woolie Wool posted:When I was a raw noob I actually used the defense preset, it took forever to kill anything. Now when I start an alt and one of my boffs tells me in an early mission to "take a defensive posture" I ignore him. The best defence you can possibly mount in Star Trek Online is to blow up everything that can possibly shoot at you as quickly as possible.

Ludicro posted:If the B'ger guns get bugged (and they often do), their lances can and will one shot you regardless of where you are positioned in relation to them. This includes back at the spawn. Which is why its best to go all in guns blazing, survivability be damned. It's best to avoid that loving STF altogether.
