Something's gonna have to happen concerning Mark eventually. Mark 10 is what they give you by default/buyable, you can craft up to Mark 12(Or upgrade), but the limit is 15, and going beyond 12 is still very expensive. I don't get what is 'wanted' at this point.

And people only started with that because the actual EXP payouts were too low elsewhere in comparism to how much was needed for a level-when they got through the story missions and such they had available and weren't able to continue. They did the grind and found the huge payout because they had no choice in order to continue, then later because it was the best way to get specialisation EXP. I think it still vaguely is.

Look for the Bridge Officer Trainer at wherever your home base is(Earth Spacedock for Fed, First City on Quo'nos for KDF, Romulan Flotilla or New Romulus Command for Romulan). They sell most of the standard books for Science, Engineering and Tactical. Crafted books are for the highest-end standard skills, and the non-standard specialisations like Intel or Command. Such books are also buyable off the Exchange, usually for a pittance. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jul 4, 2018 |

I have a question. One of my KDFs wants to return to Nerds of Prey. However, in my time away, that character has found itself as part of an empty fleet. Very unbuilt. Not sure what to do, really.

Beams still work. Beams are still fine to use. They're just not as good. It's not like they're mines or anything. One can say that the biggest change was the Competitive Engines. Any time you cast something(Depends on the type of engine), you get a speed and turn buff of similar strength to Evasive Maneuvers. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Prevailing_Fortified_Impulse_Engines Thus even heavy ships have far less trouble getting into position to use cannons. I'm looking at the Fortified: Almost everyone carries Power to Shields, Engineering Team, Science Team, Hazard Emitters, and possibly Transfer Shield Strength and Aux to Structural if slots and playstyle permit. Proper spacing of even using each as the last ends would give you 20-30 seconds. Proper placing of Aux to Structural with its 15 second cooldown could get you 1 or 2 more. That's not counting actual Evasive Manuevers for another 8 seconds. In practice the odds of getting it just so are poor. But even so it's huge.

Cythereal posted:Anyone know where I might find the 'mission simulator' for KDF? I'm trying to replay an old mission on one of my klanks, but the episode guide says it's available in the mission simulator and I can find no mention of where such a thing might be. Go back to the episode list, find it in there. Replaying an episode you've done already is a 'holodeck simulation'. You still fly out to where you went before and do the things you've done.

If the Elite Support Frigates actually have Sensor Scan(Remember the mess with the Vanguard Gunboats and Attack Pattern Lambda) it'll be pretty potent. I wonder which would be better: four Support Frigates or 2 Support+another ship set. We are now launching Full Science Vessels at people.
