I think the Aeon fighters from the Paradox have the distinction of being the best ship-agnostic hanger pets in the game so long as you don’t have the Superior Area Denial trait. The Paradox itself is a lovely science dreadnaught that suffers from being a time ship released before Temporal Operative was added to the game. Enjoy your gravity wells and DRBs, time loser.

Asimo posted:Yeah they really should have given it the full temporal spec when they gave it to the Wells and such. Same with Annorax which is even more hilarious without it. gently caress I forgot about that. Hilarious. I imagine Cryptic’s hesitation would come to not wanting to set a precedent for substantially changing ships after release. I know if I owned a T6 Excelsior, for example, and I saw Temp Ops abilities added to the Annorax I’d be pushing pretty hard for the same treatment so that I could fly her apart then.

Stonewalljack posted:From what I understand from the DPS league discord, the fighter squadrons with pulse cannons are specifically bugged in their interaction with superior area denial (SAD) trait. Two hangars of To'duj blue fighters have been parsed at 140k dps. If you are fed, blue scorpion fighter squadrons parse a little lower, like 120-130k I've heard. The SAD trait is cheap for klingons, so I bought it to play with on an alt; when you hit a firing mode the squadrons light up the screen spraying a ton of cannon fire. It works better with the blue squadrons, apparently because upgraded versions lose the bugged pulse cannons. There may be a maths bug as well but I think a big part of the damage increase is that pulse cannons have 360 degree firing arcs while beam arrays, cannons and DHCs all require some element of pointing the ship at the enemy. And STO’s fighter AI is extremely stupid.

Cyrano4747 posted:Oh sweet, something to actually get the next time I have a free T6 token from an event. Do not. In terms of seating it’s one of the worst ships in the game. And it doesn’t even have a pilot seat to do the whole ‘fly her apart’ ability named after a thing Sulu said in one of the movies.

Asimo posted:To be fair to Cryptic, having arbitrary and inane plot swerves that completely ignore prior characterization and consequences for the sake of forced drama is just being 100% accurate to Discovery's writing. To say nothing of Picard. Bring back exploration missions but have the Lower Decks writer’s room draft all of the scenarios.

Wizard of the Deep posted:STO is an 11 year old game, based on a 15 year old game, which is based on the notes Cryptic took with them on a 17 year old game. It's a minor wonder we don't occasionally just find ourselves on fire. They patched that mission out.

Patched up the game so that I could experience just how bad the final episodes of this poo poo arc are. The game hard crashed to desktop.

Wizard of the Deep posted:ETA: I guess one potential upside is moving some of the internal talent back to STO & NW. Borticus has been retweeting job ads from other developers. I don’t think any of that internal talent will be continuing.

Cyrano4747 posted:They're 100% right, but holy poo poo can you even imagine the community reaction if they had a story arc that was you peacefully negotiating a trade deal and then delivering humanitarian relief supplies to a world devastated by a natural disaster, where the problems you overcome are about equitable distribution of aid rather than fighting off pirates or something? Just an entire episode chain where all it is is figuring out puzzles and talking interested parties into cooperating. I would loving love this - first because it’s closer to the actual spirit of Star Trek and second because it would be the first time in over a year a player character would have any actual agency in the game’s story. Ironically The Old Republic, as a BioWare-lite RPG, gets closer to doing TNG-style Space Diplomacy than STO does. It’s a very big missed opportunity.

Just checking in on this game after a long hiatus - feel like smashing out a few patrols while my new baby drifts off to sleep. Did they ever put in a way of transferring purchases from PC to console? I have an Xbox but my computer is an iPad now.

fullTimeLurker posted:OH man, I just finished playing up through the Iconian War on my Temporal Recruit; and drat, why is it so much better than anything they've released since? Not only is the entire storyline fun and engaging; but all the previous Episodes all tie in to it as well, while still having their own satisfying conclusions. I wish they would do another well-written multi-episode ark like that again. The time war stuff is pretty hit or miss but the arc after that (Victory is Life) is hands-down the strongest in the game. Still working up to play the new stuff I’ve missed over the last couple of years on console. It’s kind of refreshing not having access to my hanger of war crime starships. I can just be a simple campaign flying a simple starship - at least until this year’s anniversary event rolls around.

Cythereal posted:You just missed it, alas. Oh hey mate! I thought I saw something about it being delayed on console but honestly no dramas if it’s not. Cruising around in a mirror T5 Sovereign (I hope they’re still available and cheap on the Exchange?) should scratch the itch enough for me.

Tigey posted:Reddit is in uproar over this. Personally, I'm more or less fine with it: I don’t have any of the Alliance ships (or uniform) on my console account and would love to have them because I love the aesthetic. I do not $200 (Australia tax) want them though. Jesus gently caress Cryptic.
