Borticus' primary role at Cryptic is to find things that are fun and fix them until they aren't.

Not even joking. He literally combs through game data looking for areas where players thrive, and "fixes" them.

Hey, so I'm confused, as this thread exists, yet the Starfleet Dental thread under the Private Game Servers thread says it has nothing to do with the current SFD in STO. So how on Earth do I join? I've given up looking at this game with a serious cynical eye, and just want to dick about; this seems like the right place.
That's Fake Dental. Ignore them. Post your @handle and someone will get you in.

Anyway, I remembered the Soviet style Klingon propaganda from a few years ago, maybe it can be useful?

They can use any ship design ship owned by CBS AFAIK, which I think includes anything on screen.

The Luna class is 'owned' by CBS through a design contest, same as the Odyssey.

The Vesta was not owned by CBS which is why it took so long to get it. Legal hoops and that.

I think any design submitted to the Ent-F contest is owned by them as well.

I always hoped they'd release a Wolf 359 ship or two, and I remember them having plans for the New Orleans class, but I guess all of that went to poo poo. And it's a shame they couldn't have used some ships from Legacy. Those were some batshit designs that would have fit in well with the shitfest this game has become.

Do fellow goons have a favorite T5-T6 ship?

Also, do we know why the non-fleet Chimera isn't being sold any more?

I hear the Galaxy-X* is pretty sweet.

Also nice of them to give us a bonus dil weekend so soon after the Risa poo poo has ended.

I'm looking to join in on this dumb game; I've been flying around blowing up Klingons and it's actually more fun than I expected. I'm level 20 and I'm wondering, should I stick with just the ONE energy type and deck out my consoles, or is it alright to be firing a veritable rainbow of death?

Ingame name is JackCrassian, @crassian is the handle thing.

Welcome to Hell.

To answer your question, it really doesn't matter what gear you use leveling up to 50, but once you hit 50, pick an energy type and gear up accordingly. I'm sure you already know by now, but just to reiterate, the real grind begins at level 50.

I don't even think most of the Devs could put together a half-way decent ship build by themselves.

The manner in which ships like the Ambassador class and Obelisk carrier come equipped supports your statement. Hell, the stock equipment on every ship is a hodge podge of poo poo.
