Nice looking OP Ludicro. I'm so excited for this new season. I can't wait to see how many alts I can get the new rep started on before the server dies.

AfroSquirrel posted:So which lockbox ships worth their cost? Galor, Nicor (in a week or so), anything Jem Hadar, and maybe the Monbosh? The temporal ships and the Recluse as well. The Elachi S'goth isn't bad for the cost either assuming it's still cheap (I paid 60 for mine. Edit: Speaking of good value for the cost; vanilla distruptors and currently selling really cheap on the exchange now that the pubbies are going for the fancy nanite/Elachi/fleet versions. Vanilla disruptors are also account bound so you can move them between alts with an account bank. Lagomorphic fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Apr 23, 2014 |

Yeah there's two issues. The first is that they reset everyone to max settings when the new season got patched in. The second is that their graphics updates seem to have made the client more resource intensive. I have to drop it down to medium-low when watching Netflix while playing to avoid performance issues now, which I never had to do before. Neither is really that big of a deal though.

Socialism posted:Great, so pretty much no reason to get too attached to current ship. Might actually spend a few $ on officer slots, it feels terrible to just kick them out the door when a new one rolls in. If you're going to spend real money just subscribe for a month. Extra boff spots are included in the gold freebies you get to keep once the sub expires. If you can find a boxed copy of the game on clearout you could get a bunch of stuff for a few bucks.

Oh yeah for any new players worried about spending expertise on your bridge officers: Ask in chat and we can can fill in that for you. I've got over 2 mil expertise doing nothing on my main and it would be nothing to promote all your boffs and train them up. Expertise is one of those things that can be pretty scarce on a new character but any one who's been playing for a while is drowning in it.

Socialism posted:Fair enough, although I'm still very low level and apparently you get free officer every dozen levels or so. I'll buy new ones once I have a better idea of what to spend money on, it feels like there are a million slots/things to upgrade. If you're playing a fed just go to the exchange and buy whatever blue/purple humans you need for like 5k EC a head at most. All humans have the leadership trait which is the best space trait that feds can get when starting out. Ground traits really don't matter much at all. You'll want to eventually get some Romulans tac's from the embassy but they cost quite a bit of fleet credits and dil. Edit: Oh wait I just checked your post history and you're playing as a Romulan. Yeah just get the best boffs you can right now. The only thing that really matters is your space traits (Romulan operative, infiltrator and subterfuge).

Preechr posted:Huh. That's... not bad. Not bad at all. Interesting layout, a decent shield mod for an escort (on the fleet version), great boff layout. Who cares about the aft turret, but yeah, this looks like a viable option for a fed. Yeah you're not really giving anything up for the aft turret so it's some free extra damage if anything gets into your rear arc. Unless you've hosed up it's going to be doing as much as the old PE's non-existent 8th gun most of the time though. Bloodly posted:I consider that two science slots are 'locked' to Hazard Emitters/Transfer Shield Strength(Although Transfer should be switched to Science Team these days). So anything with two or less "can't" take Polarize for lack of space. I will admit I am overly defence-minded and I was taught 'Always have a shield heal besides Power to Shields'-from here, actually. Assault cruiser can and should fit APO 1. Those other ships are terrible and you shouldn't fly them ever. Seriously if you take the Ha'apax over the Ha'feh you are terrible and you deserve to die. If you must run them crap like the exploration cruiser can also drop TSS for polarize hull. You can just chain EptS and run the Dyson shield and you'll be fine for shields. Klanks in need of cruisers should get either the Mogh, the command Bortasqu, or a fleet Tor'Kaht.

Technical Analysis posted:The best antiproton beam arrays would be the ones you can get from the fleet store. Accx2 Dmgx2. If you're short on dil/fleet credits you can also run the Borg episode Fluid Dynamics for a decent AP beam array. You can also just buy one of these for about 400k on the exchange if you've got EC to spend. These beams are also account bound so if you have an account bank you can send them to future alts once you upgrade them to fleet AP.

Morglon posted:Well you could buy the Bortas bundle. I hear they are mighty beasts. The command Bort is a a pretty great beam cruiser now that sensor analysis is good.

MikeJF posted:Does Sensor Analysis really outperform an additional spire tac console? Depends on what you're shooting at. For stuff like cubes, planet killers, and pubbies a full 6 stacks will do more than the extra dmg and crit. At a full six stacks it also halves the effectiveness of healing powers which is pretty great.

Psycho Landlord posted:While the proton DHC's don't suck too much, they're far better for ganking than general combat since there's no real way to buff them and remain competitive with other purpose built ships. As a result, you really want to be able to cloak when using them, and since the fedhoover can't, you're basically just gimping yourself so you can fly a hideous ship You can run the spire +cannon tac console to boost the proton DHC's without really losing much damage on your other guns. It means you won't get to use the subsystem targeting but who really cares about that.

Get that universal out of your tac consoles as well. Either dump it or the dyson sci console. Other then that I'd second the fleet neutronium/tac consoles (crit chance) and then a a fleet warp core.

Those new romulus ground patrols are a waste of time at 10 marks. With them being at 40 all weekend they'll be easy marks for anyone who needs a bunch in a hurry. They're quick and easy they just have a 20 hour cooldown. If you're not trying to get a gear project filled right away epochs/daily marks bonus is still the easy way to grind rommie rep though.

Conquistador said in the chat that he doesn't think being a child rapist should preclude one from moderating a TV forum. So Torlacictus starts on a huge tirade about how that's the same as being 100% pro kid-raping. So he got booted from the guild/goon chat. Therefore we are all 100% pro child rapist. He was actually due to be kicked before all of that because he'd been tracking Pulse's logins and generally spying for some german fleet for a while. Him making GBS threads up the chat just reminded folks that they needed to get off their rear end and boot him. So yeah this is what he does now.
