So which lockbox ships worth their cost? Galor, Nicor (in a week or so), anything Jem Hadar, and maybe the Monbosh?

SquadronROE posted:So how awful will the grind be if I just play the character I want first off - a human tactical who flies cruisers - instead of following the guide? Will it make the terrible game even more terrible? This is what my favorite character is. Being able to double-up on APA and APO with Fire at Will/Scatter Volley is the best way to play JJTrek Online.

I've been away from STO for a bit, and trying to catch up on what's changed since March or so. It looks like there's another lockbox, some new crafting system (R&D?), and a revamped Patrol Escort Refit. If I already had the old Fleet Patrol Escort, does it get a free upgrade to the revision?

Psycho Landlord posted:Nope. On the other hand, the old FPE doesn't exist anymore, so you have a legacy ship now, if you care about that. Alright, so the best thing to do with it is go on the forums and brag about 'how OP it is', and remind everyone that this variant is completely unobtainable now?

SKY COQ posted:It's a shame there doesn't seem to be a Captain career path to go along with it. Still, take what you can get. >Insert joke about STO player intelligence here< Most of those skills sound alright (the tacish ones, at least). Transport Warhead sounds like beaming a torpedo into someone which would be cool, but Kinetic Magnet sounds like a very sad attempt let ships 'draw aggro' in the most direct way. Knowing Cryptic, Kinetic Magnet will have some weird behavior in hubs that can be put to good use though!

Regarding torpedoes, are the Dyson Gravimetric ones with Torp Spread still the way to go? I remember when they first came out that that was an easy way to fill the screen with mini-Gravity Wells, but I don't know if it was changed or not since then.

Conskill posted:So we have a Fed escort. With a cloaking device (not conceptually weird, but aren't they balanced around not having that?). And a Sensor-Analysis rip-off. How about that cloaky Fed battlecruiser with a hull drain clicky AND Sensor Analysis ripoff? I don't think we've hit max stupid yet.

The Eclipse looks very workable as a cruiser; 10 turn and 55 inertia will make it more nimble than the Galor (since in the magical land of STO higher inertia number = less actual inertia). It's got very solid Boff seating (one more tactical skill would be nice, but eh), and the Fleet console layout will presumably be 4/5/2. Finally, the ship skill (+Def+DR when using Engie/Intel skills) will probably be up forever under Aux2Batt.

CommissarMega posted:You know, that's got me wondering- how well would a beam escort work? I'm thinking quick hit and run broadsides, with the goal being to hang around at the edges of the battlefield, expend all your buffs, then quickly run out. Right now, my cannon/torp escort tactics consist of: This sounds like the perfect job for the JHEC. It has the layout and numbers for it like Asimo said, plus it has that one Dominion console that's basically a 3-minutes clicky Attack Pattern and a Hangar Bay to harass with whatever you like. Also, it's purple.

Well, at least one good thing has come out of this. I've become disillusioned enough that instead of trying to grind out a Monbosh, I'll just keep tuning up my Excelsior to be the classiest ship on the block.
