Kind of hard to aux2bat, when the other two techs are hanging out idle. I actually logged in to find my jhdc having an older fit than I haven't used for a week or so. Also, all my doff (both space and ground) were no longer in the their active roster. This is how I discovered that I could only have one tech on the active roster.

Two patches later, and my reman is still unable to aux2bat due to an amazing doff bug. At least the devs are supposedly aware of it: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1089851 (last patch for post) Of course, that is a community person, so a dev probably has no clue.

Welp, if anyone else is having problems with duplicate doffs not wanting to hang out together in the active roster, a random pubbie found the solution. http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=16567711&postcount=29 Basically, put one in then put a throwaway doff in. Take your second one and drag it on top of the throwaway. Rinse and repeat. This solution worked for me. :cryptic: I'd love to know what happened in the back end to make this bug even appear.

It's obvious something's badly broken behind the scenes. Half my ships won't properly save their equipment/action bars and randomly revert to an older setting every time I leave earth space dock, and I've heard people with similar but random different weirdness.

Back to game of :cryptic:  , I finally fixed my doff issue for now. That is to say, my 3x techs are staying put in the active space slot now. I still had to use the work around to slot them, but other methods on top of it were not working (at the time I was flying a jhdc). Having a desire for a vesta like ship for my romulan, I pulled out the dyson ship to roll around in. Not a bad ship mind you when fitted correctly. Anyway, having switched to it and set it up (equipment, boffs, skill tray, and doffs), I saved the loadout. The techs have since stayed where they belong instead of running to their mothers or whatever it was they were doing.

That is pretty much how I fixed it. I wasn't working when I made a loadout on the original ship, but after switching to another one, making a loadout on it, they have stayed put. I haven't switched back though.

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. Speaking of account bound. Is the description correct on the undine rep kit modules? Are they really account bind on equip?

Simply because the question's been coming up in chat quite a few times lately as newish people have been getting into the rep grind and asking what they'll be wanting to get from the various reps, and it might be better to point them to this rather than have a chaotic mess of things linked in chat or them going to find the outdated guides, which a few have. I guess I'm one of those concerning the outdated guide. I thought the omega deflector and engine was still a thing for tetyron glider. What happened to make assimilated better? I would ask about the undine, but looks like asimov already covered some of it.

I saw someone today running I think was the risian corvette judging by their speed. But I'm not sure. Was doing high speed plasma clouds and ejecting web mines. However, instead of the default 5 mine shape, they were dropping over formations, so there is that as well. It was cute and probably worked better than me in my arkif since I only noticed during the voth show down at the end of the undine battlezone.

Nothing like switching to an alt and trying to figure out what the hell you were doing and then trying to figure out how to fix it. In doing the fixing I just caught myself making a ship build that will work... in about 40 more steps (and perhaps that many days). Kind of silly to aux2bat a kar'fi when you don't even have a green tech doff. Along with that, full set of 8 beam arrays is also a bad idea when just starting out (though, it is klank and I have the zen ship so plas leech was easy to grab at least). The work on the alt started mainly because my romulan engineer is near game complete. I'm working headlong towards tier 5 undine rep. And Other than that, I just need some fleet bits to finish all the things I could possibly need.

^^ oh, I remember that old skill system. Where you put points into a tier ship leaving you pretty much no points for that sexy tier 4 (end tier back then) ship. I think the idea was to just respec at 45 for your points. Also, you had to specialize to a single ship class inside a class.Asimo posted:It's not even that. The solo game is so easy (and intentionally so...) that you can basically sleepwalk through it in a DBB-and-mines science vessel. I don't think the game needs to be super-hard and the fact it is basically Babby's First MMO is a big part of why it didn't died years ago, but the lack of difficulty means there's no real feedback for improving. You're killing normal solo spawns without dying, obviously your build is good enough! I remember my days of dbb + mines science vessels. Always seemed to work well till they released s1. Never could figure it out back then. Only because of goons was I uplifted from that. The premise of that setup was just beam/cannon out a shield facing then as I got close, fart out the mines and hit tractor beam as I flew away. I also ran balanced back then too with a dosing of all shields when things were going very badly. Even if the extra info was given out, I'm afraid pubbies would still be uneducated. Or if they did become educated, cryptic would run around hiding about the holes (like why isn't there some more 360 arrays to go with dbbs).

It doesn't help that there's a lot of unintuitive mechanics that Cryptic should really make clearer at some point too... something like stacking energy type consoles or to use the same type of weapon (beams or cannons) or the like is probably obvious if you think about it, but there's all sorts of passive pushes from Cryptic towards lovely layouts that I still see a lot of genuine newbies get caught up on even this sort of stuff. Things like the absolutely lovely default ship loadouts don't help... look at when you're flying the Ambassador or Dyson ships in the missions and wonder what the gently caress Cryptic was even thinking.

kzin602 posted:They clarified that the [arc] weapons are one per ship regardless of color. However with the cutting beam, the obelisk beam and an [arc] beam you can get pretty close to the dream of a DBB/Array Vesta.... if you wanted to do that for some reason. Dammit, why must good things be stopped before they happen? Are the devs really not aware that dbb is near useless without a counterpart in the rear like dhcs have turrets? Ah well. As you point out though, you only need one arc array anyway to do a dbb setup on any sci boat. On another dumb question page. I don't fathom the console to complete the set is worth 800 lobi, but what of the 3 piece obelisk set bonus? Looks like it makes all pets gain emergency powers and be equipped on any ship.

And thus I wanted to know if the richer people had tested it. The set is nice since the cost is spread over a weapon point (and for actual carriers, beams are used anyway), warp core (can hurt), and a console (possibly, especially when it appears this console is kind of useless outside of the 3set). Just wondering how powerful the pet's emergency powers are.

Has anyone followed all the other rumors? Looks liek someone puts them together on the sto wiki. Vesta stats to be retouched (why, I don't know). I guess there is another expansion that will herald in season 10. I think we talked about that some though. Something about cardassians. Which makes sense as that little arc is one of the last of the terribles that hasn't been retouched. One of the fun new ships is the possibility of the stargazer/constellation with a console that allows the ship to do the picard maneuver.

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.

So for shields, engine, and deflector, what are the choice ones there for pve? I had assumed pretty much undine now at least for engine and deflector (deflector has the damage and accuracy bonus). However, I take it from the chat last night that one of the omega rep sets is still better? Specifically, the omega force set for tetryon glider. Shields I think is still dyson, but I remember some wavering at possibly the undine being better.

I just want tovak and worf boff skills. It is the only reason those horrible ship layouts partly work. Specifically, the dyson ship would do well if there was a skill that gave both faw (or beam: overload) and crf in a single go. The ship is ripe and ready for a dbb setup in that regard. Then there wouldn't be issue with running turrets in the back. You would also be able to take better advantage of the cannon as well.
