So me and a few other goons decided to go exploring on the new ESD, to see what all we could find.

Here's a little scrapbook of the adventure.

Also getting out into all these areas is laughably easy and the maps are oddly quite detailed.

Here's a round 2 gallery of getting outside of ESD and exploring it.

Unfortunately pubbies have also figured out how to get into the shuttlebay and so on, meaning we won't get as many comedy tells about denalt hax.

Edit: adding another 2 tiny galleries for the interested.

In case pubs ruin this and Cryptic for once fixes something due to the frequency of people doing it, you can see the hidden ballship and Steamrunner in the back.

The second gallery we tried dropping onto the Vesta, which sadly like the Nova there is not a solid model so you simply drop through it.

Also is there any reason to join a Fleet before I'm Vice Admiral? Or is everything done through the chat channel anyway?

I take it you meant zero, which is implying you still somehow got that account off of someone else.

In any case, if you have not noticed, no one here cares about your 4chan garbage. Even on the 4chan STO threads you seem to have been classified as a "/b/tard" and unwanted.

Decided to put together a small comedy compilation of random pubbie talk from today.

The first part is 2 former "friends" of Marquisnor explaining their history with him. The later parts are just some sillyness from NoP chat, including an internet-badass swordmaster.

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.

"Picard the Perv" is a much finer and more expressive work of art from their selection of low-resolution attempts to capture loneliness in screenshot form.



Edit: I also took their guided "tour" of their flagship. It's basically a foundry ERP haven for their fleet full of statues of their fleet leaders with preachy little plaques quoting them. You can find both the "visitor" and "member" versions of it searching Elite Forces in review content if you want to traumatize yourself.

Edit 2: They also have a "psych test" for their members. I ran it and can best sum it up as highschooler fantasy porn, 80s horror porn, and some sort of harem fantasy. Except written while tripping on glue.

Being a J4G pickup to inflate the ranks doesn't count for much.

However, if you can deal with being shunned from society and living in the realm of awful pubbies: Yes, this game is pretty good and costs nothing.

It took me better than 20 minutes to figure out how to beam back to my ship last night, I'll do my best to not poo poo up the channel.

Unless you suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome or lead poisoning you can be as dumb as you like and still outclass 99% of the pub population.

Also just ask away on questions, questions mean you want to learn, which puts you far ahead of the average player in this game.

As to builds, apply your EVE experience, stick to one damage type, boost said damage type exclusively, avoid mixing beam weapons with cannon weapons, so on. Only thing you really need to get used to is all the clicky skills and that dual-tanking is a thing in this game, plus that exploding is pretty meaningless.

Regardless, the wiki has plenty of guides and you can ask us about it all in the channel.

So I am in the process of trying to put STO on another computer. I installed the Arc client, installed STO, and patched it. All appeared ok until I launched STO. I now have a black screen with the graphics cursor only, and the music chiming away.

Is there anyway to lower the graphics res without successfully launching the game? Or a safe mode or something?

I think you could configure settings on the actual STO launcher. (not the Arc thing)

Any idea if the saucer separation and antimatter spread consoles are worth it? Seems like a lot of gimmicky consoles, especially if I wanted to keep the cloak.

I use my Venture-X (it makes it forgivable/quite nice looking, to me anyways, as we never saw it on screen while the Galaxy X is horrid once you are over the age of 13) with just the saucer sep console and the rest being a conventional layout.

It's a decent extra pet in average PvE, and at very least having it seperated makes you turn better.

The crew loss is meaningless since crew is meaningless and the shotgun lance is definately more effective when buffed than the standard one for PvE purposes.
