Any suggestions for making a lot of EC without hating my life? I want to fly a Keldon but I'm short about 485m EC and don't really want to run Tour the Galaxy for the next year and a half.

Eimi posted:Jem'hadar t6 dread. I have the t5 version and this is just a better version of that. It's a really fun carrier that matches what I want the most out of carriers, the aesthetic. It's huge and slow and mean. As well it has a solid carrier trait. Really the biggest downside here is that I don't have a bugship for it's pets. I haven't done it myself, but allegedly you can get the T5 bugship from Ultra Rare Phoenix tickets to unlock the carrier pets.

I have some event ships from like 2012-2015, and picked up the T6 Risian Cruiser, but missed out on basically everything in between. I did pick up that charity bundle with the Narendra and bought the Arbiter at some point, so I have a couple of useful traits. I just find it hard to tell which of the other random traits I have are worth using when they never really appear in any meta builds.

I bought out the Tholian event because I missed the first two campaign events and wasn't going to be able to complete the whole thing. It kinda stung, but I guess two c-store ships for 2000 zen is okay.

I have a main that I don't really like much. My long-term plan is to buy the Gamma Vanguard Pack the next time it goes on sale and make a new Cardassian main. I don't really feel like doing a ton of space chores between now and then. In the meantime, I have a gamma recruit and a temporal recruit who are basically done their objectives except for a shitload of doffing and specialization points. I was thinking about using the upgrade weekend to make an upgraded set of rainbow beams for each recruit to make endeavors easy and just sort of gradually grind out the exp for spec points. Is that a reasonable plan or is there a fast way to grind out specialization points and doff commendations that is also low effort?

This may not be the right place for this question, but I can't think of anywhere else to ask. Are there any other games that have vaguely similar space combat to STO? I like the (theoretically) slower paced combat and managing weapon dps vs firing arcs and ship maneuverability when I'm not just nuking enemies down in one beam overload cycle.

I'd take a legendary bundle of Dominion ships. Most of the recognizable Jem'hadar ships from the show are just the T5 versions. Throw in an updated Galor/Keldon and maybe the Breen warship. VV Guess I didn't spend enough time in the ship customizer. Oh they're from lockboxes and stuff, that's why I missed them. revtoiletduck fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Jan 1, 2022 |

The Gagarin trait is basically mandatory for discount torpedo builds, right? I'm getting slightly bored of beams, but already have a 5/3 miracle worker ship, so it would pretty much just be for the trait. I'm open to other suggestions of T6 traits that can single-handedly facilitate a poor man's cannon or science build.

Cyrano4747 posted:The ship is pretty solid T6, especially if you don't have an entire stable of those running yet. It also isn't too much of a hassle to unlock. Probably worth rolling an event alt just for that. I don't have much interest in the actual ship, but getting Withering Barrage for free is nice.

It's so strange to me that this keeps happening. I'm not surprised that one person can be incompetent, but does Kael (or whoever is ultimately responsible for the blogs) not have a boss that would be embarrassed by the constant misinformation in these blogs? Or his boss's boss? Apparently not a single person in the company cares whether information communicated to the players is accurate.

The big one is Superior Area Denial trait from the Mirror Engle strike wing escort, which used to be lockbox only but recently became available in the 12th anniversary Terran bundle.

Cyrano4747 posted:I was eyeballing the polaron one. Trying to put together a basic polaron build for doing damage dailies. It does describe the polaron weapons but there's some shorthand there. quote:Cannons are from Lukari Rep, 2x Dominion DC (reward from 2600er story arc), Morphogenic Set from Gamma Quadrant Arc, Turrets from Gamma reputation Lukari rep refers the Advanced Piezo dual cannons. The Dominion dual cannons are a mission reward, but that mission is pretty long and repeating it a bunch of times definitely isn't worth it over generic cannons if you're just trying to complete polaron damage endeavor dailies. The Morphogenic set is a reward from the mission "Home", which is also a pain in the rear end to repeat because it's super long, but that set actually is worth getting. The last turret is the Advanced Inhibiting turret from the Gamma task force reputation. Does that make sense?

If there was a way to make t5 ships like that account-bound I'd have some use for them, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with a random t5 ship for a single character anymore now that I don't need them for admiralty. Get the Jem'hadar dreadnought carrier and use the phoenix token to unlock the bugship pets.

Emberfox posted:Last night I made it to Captain and grabbed the Long Range Science Vessel, because of course I want an Intrepid-class, even if taking the Galaxy-class was tempting. I think it's a good idea to use that Intrepid now while it's power level matches the content you're doing, so you can get a feel for a science ship. The paladin will keep scaling up as you level up and will eventually outclass that intrepid long-term, but for now you might as well experiment with as many ship types as you can.

Fidel Cuckstro posted:I think they'll end up changing the trait to extending the specialist firing modes...but not really looking at picking any of this up until that actually happens, and then maybe when they do a bundle sale at the end of the year. Do they ever change a trait after announcing it like this? Seems like they're more likely to just make the trait people actually on another ship to sell.

Allegedly you can get another T6-X token since it's technically a recruit-specific reward, as long as the ship you want to upgrade is an account unlock.

I was all pumped to get the 10th Anniversary bundle the next time it comes up, partly because I wanted to check out the Legendary Ambassador, as it is the only ship I'm aware of that can equip Surgical Strikes 3 and Recursive Shearing. Then I realized that one is in the 11th Anniversary bundle. Sigh.

g0del posted:I'm entirely too lazy to go digging through people's post history to determine if they're really a newer player or not, so congrats, you should have the code in your PMs now. Yep, you're right, it was only one of those ships. Much as I love those Nebula-style ships, the Gagarin is clearly the right choice. I was just thinking about grabbing the Gagarin since the trait is mandatory for torpedo builds that I'd like to check out, so the timing is awesome. Thanks a lot!
