You'd be getting it for the space barbie options. The armor itself isn't anything special. It does, however, look pretty kickass, and an impromptu 75% discount is nothing to laugh at.

The issue is apaprently due to some changes in the effects code that went in with this season. Most people only notice it with Undine because everywhere you fight Undine involves a metric shitload of particle effects.

Your first post in three years after a short back and forth in 2010 in Automotive Insanity was asking for an invite to Dental, and was after Pillager's reg date. There is also no possible way the person posting with your account now is the same person who posted in AI, because that individual could communicate in more than poorly-typed lolspeak. So if you want to keep your stolen/bought account, stop posting and move on, dude.

Someone wanna explain the hate-on for Bajor? I say this as someone who only caught part of DS9 in his youth. I don't remember them doing anything especially poor. Although that one docking officer on DS9 in-game is a jerk.

They invaded Cardassian space with a sailboat and scream their way into political decisions that have nothing to do with them. People can claim it's poor writing if they want to, but they're pretty much just whiny assholes who happened to live next to a strategically important location and the show runs with that pretty hard.

Also it sounds like we have a non-believer in the thread. I think some re-education is in order.

For Season 10, the Undine ought to get into it with the Dominion so you have two races of shapeshifters engaged in a serious, sustained campaign of impersonating each other

That is exactly what the singularity attacks on DS9 were supposed to stop. Also the locals don't take it well when you show up at Quarks and remind them of this fact :v:

I kinda want to try a cruiser, since for the most part, I think I've been sticking with more escorty style ships.

You're likely better off with the Scimitar due to it being one of the best ships in the game for a variety of situations, but if you did want to try a D'Deridex because it looks awesome you need to make sure you're space rich enough to kit out a proper A2B build - the Dex is really versatile due to it's boff layout but it is worse than useless without any cooldown reduction due to its' whale-like nature and lack of redundant power options. Auxbatt is the only way to fly it. And for the love of gently caress, don't try to fly a Ha'apax.

It's still a 3 minute clicky power but since it's actually buffable by phaser consoles and damage skills and basically murders everything in a given area and makes it un-traversable for about 30 seconds it's not a bad thing to have handy at all.

I dunno, pubbie disbelief as we've one-shotted waves of Undine in the battlezone has made it pretty worth it. The ship is good enough that you don't really need to min-max your consoles that much to still be king-poo poo of everything.

So lately I've been getting a hankering to rebuild my Fed Dyson ship into something I can tool around more regularly.

First, you picked the worst one.

If you really want to try and run with it, though, I hosed around with a standard escort fit on one and it was... serviceable. But if you're flying fed ships you really are better off in an Avenger or a Tempest, since nothing else really compares Fedside. And if you are afflicted with a horrible Science Boner for whatever reason I would still fly a Vesta over a Hooverboat. 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 :v:

Are we talking PVP, or...? They were all-around best for PVE when I was last playing before this event...
:negative:

They were king of the hill for a good while, especially once A2B became a reality, but now that power is so easy to come by and team abilities no longer share a cooldown Tacs are back to being the go-to "best class," with rom tacs at the forefront because of the crit bonus. This only matters if you're attempting to minmax the big yellow numbers over your opponents head though, Engineers are still perfectly viable in any situation if you understand how to play the game.

I wonder if that "always crit" part will apply to the proc version that crafted beams can have.

That combined with the lack of power drain means those beams are potentially super good now. Course, I still haven't seen what the proc chance is on them, or whether or not they're unique equips like the arc beams :v:
