Rotation Confusion: Jul 13, 2012; It's harder than it looks

Asimo posted:

I come off a little harsh there.

eh I dont think so. A lot of the fed "escorts" are buried in terrible limitations or tradeoffs or redundant boff slots. If this thing had come with the same BOFF slots as the Nicor I'd say it was a great babby nicor. As is I dont like it and think someone who uses it would spend a lot of time being mad at the compromises

For 3000 zen I'd say put the resources into instead acquiring a nicor every time.

If "the nude mod" doesn't delete your STO account and then make your computer explode I'm very disappointed in someone

right, the usual advice is "sub for one month, spend the 500zen they give you on the EC cap, unsub" The bank slots and stuff all stick so you're p much golden after that.

Got T4 undine rep earlier. Messed around with the set stuff.

The warp core also doesn't seem to do poo poo against the forced movement in fluidic space.

well i wasnt likely to get rid of [AMP] but that seals it so thanks

Is this retroactive now? Back when I played I recall it not being so if you made it to 50 and then subbed you lost out on all the free inventory slots.

I dunno actually. At 50 I traded for zen, bought slots, found out about subbing even being a thing, subbed for the month, asked for my inventory/bank slots zen back, got it.

He quit playing STO so all of his characters eventually got demoted and removed as inactive. He was still a mod on /r/sto, so he tried backseat driving. He also made weird threats to people.

Also, be sure to throw a torpedo (preferably the gravimetric, but most work) with 3x projectile weapon doffs and kinetic shearing. It'll be a way larger percentage of your damage on a shuttle, and the difference in killing power is noticeable.

I'll try that tonight, this morning I was using 2x DBBs and BFAW was pretty hilarious for 3 seconds before i died from aggro. Every single time.

Its not, but it is how the internal counter that guarantees you a ship after not getting one after opening 250 of a particular kind of lockbox works.

i hope this is true because the idea of a table in their backend full of an incrementing count of every type of lockbox and how many you've opened, that turns a magic jackpot switch when you get to 251, just fills me with lols

So this fleet is having a "flagship launch" party on Risa (supposedly for a Jupiter class), and appears to have put quite a bit of work into their website, including a chatbot.

It's not so much that people are fans of Shinzon, as that people like to min/max, and not many ships can even come close to the amount of damage that a scimitar can put out.

i switched my (still kitting it out) Scim to DBBs tonight, ran an ISE 5 mins later, hosed up my positioning non-stop (had probably 30-45 seconds of no DPS during the ISE), and still did 22K DPS.

Ya that's an A2B boat. I guess pretty standard w/ a spare Eng Team 1. With only 3 tac consoles might as well rainbow beams it and turn it into a party barge.

You can solo SB24 in a lot of setups and that doesnt stop giving loot at about 500-600K per run, or if you have a maneuverable BFAW hull you can run Undine SBZ nonstop and make 4-8M (sometimes spiking to a good bit more) an hour pretty consistently

Why the hell would you run DBBs and BAs in the back that can't fire together? BAs all around and broadside.

off just base DPS, 7x beam arrays barely barely edges out 5x DBBs. It's is non-trivially easier to keep 5x DBBs on target than 100% broadside overlap.

My (I'm still quite bad at this game) ISE DPS went from 20-22K with beam arrays to 22-24k with DBBs, and ISE is a place where arrays should be well advantaged.

It's entirely possible that I'll switch back as I get better with my scim but right now it's looking p good.

Thanks. I gotta say that the mac client for this game is a real piece of poo poo. Even getting through character creation is a loving drag because the colours, lightning and textures keep spazzing out. I'm tempted to just bootcamp it instead.

works ok for me at about half on both sliders

mind you i can play in windows on the same machine at max everything, so ya, it's a pos
