He's not half-crazy guys. He's full on pants-on-head batshit loony. What the gently caress is this guy even on about in that mail? Sweet jesus the autism.

Dude's so crazy he trolls himself. That's a whole new level.

In other news, I truly wish that if you have a level 50 on a faction, you could just skip the grind crap and make another 50 of a different captain type.


Edit: Or what Mike said.

Well, it doesn't cut out too much grind, but there is a sponsorship token you can generate for reputations that doubles the amount of points each rep project gives you. You can only generate it once you have a character to full reputation though. Then you give it to a new character.

Also, there is an XP weekend coming up in a couple weeks where you can probably level a new captain to 50 in a day or so.

Funny enough, I've gone from 15 to nearly 30 in a matter of hours with Railrokh running me through patrol missions, turns out those are far faster (and less tedious) than story mode.

How fast would that be without having a lvl 50 escort to help you with the missions? Not being a smart aleck, just wondering if it would be faster on a solo basis.

Sub-Level 10 someone was trying it last night and spent 15 minutes doing one patrol, but that was in the Miranda. Once you get the first level 10 ship, it's probably not as bad. I'm going to make a pair of new chars (Klank and Fed) and run the respective regions mapping out each patrol and what it is (If they don't change from system to system). Seems that Patrols even with doing them solo would be faster than the majority of missions that have you running back and forth not shooting for 15 minutes. Plus no cutscenes. :dance:


EDIT: Turns out there is a list of Patrols: http://sto.gamepedia.com/List_of_missions#Miscellaneous

I'm running through it right now. Probably best bet is start patrols at 15 and run it up from there. I'm not sure how the levels play out, but the Cardassian stuff pays out 2300 experience per mission.

I'm a long ways away from anything else 15. But if you're wanting Science and Engineering consoles, the best bet would be to just buy them directly from the exchange as the base Very Rare consoles are cheaper than the parts needed to make them.

As for anyone else wanting a rifle made: I am back in school and I work on campus now so I am fairly busy for most of the week. I can still take orders during the later parts of the week, so please get your materials/contra/parts/bribes/catalysts (two +25 cats are still the best bet, ~40% chance for Ultra Rare at about a million each as of this post) to me Wednesday night (murrica time). Rifles will be made three at a time in a first come first serve basis.

Not to be a pain, but could you list the Mats/Catalysts that are needed/best for that thing for a wiki page? I didn't even know about catalysts when I sent you my stuff to make one.

Isn't A2B going to be nerfed into the ground with the expansion? Or is that speculation at this point?

I got an email for a free upgrade token, xp boost, and 3 keys. But it uses the old STO site and my login doesn't seem to work. Recovering password link sends me to glyph's site which doesn't allow me to redeem the code. This is so loving retarded.

QFT. I've wanted one for ages but I'm Space Poor.

I too, have always wanted a Recluse. Especially since learning about the Tacsci. But I don't poopsock nearly enough to buy one. What are Recluses up to on AH now anyway?
