Lord Ludikrous posted:So is there actually any way to keep using Discovery phasers as you level? Everything appearing now are the usual TNG style. If you access your account bank before you go Temporal Agent but not really, you can use credits to buy odd-number Disco-phasers from a vendor, if you don't want to buy the actually-good Lock Box ones from the broken Exchange that might or might not be broken anymore.

The Shran Light Pilot Escort [T6] had best be a Pilot-maneuver Risian Corvette for how it looks.

Galewolf posted:My promo Borg Engineering waifu is a murder machine in ground combat and I love it. And then there's the now crazy-expensive Legendary Defiant, with nose art and pilot maneuvers, as part of the bundle. The Withering Barrage trait on the Z-Store T6 Defiant is also pretty swell. The Fleet Patrol Escort Refit (with the Z-Store's console and a phaser build) is also a fun choice, but it's not a T6 ship. Lorak fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Nothing comes to mind right now.

Rylek posted:Hello Goons, somehow I've found myself gorging on TNG on Netflix again while the world is ending. This has of course got me all amped to dip my toes back into STO. I've been doing some light googling and have discovered that they finally added a Borg ship into the game (Liberated Juggernaut I think?). I'm a die hard Borg fan and would like to try and get this ship and make a cool Borgy build around it, I'm sure it's terrible but I don't really care about min/maxing at all since I just play with my other Goon buddy through the episodes. That said, yeah, keys to STO-credits, or sometimes even just go to a trading channel and offer keys for trade for it. There's usually someone willing to take you up, but be sure to shop around.

ericthebear posted:Thanks for the info g0del. It seems like tac consoles with the same exact effect do not stack. Trying to use two tac consoles with +beam dmg and I'm not seeing it reflected in the DPS of weapons after the first. But they have that semi vague catch all of "Values do not reflect skills or other modifiers" under everything. So right now I should have a tac consoles for +beam(weapon type?) and another +dmg type? Then as I get ships that have more tac console room, start using consoles for vulns?

Hello Sailor posted:Which ship is this? I love things that let me godmode through my general ineptitude. Heal Buff and Unkillable at Low Hull When reduced below 5% Hull: +50% Incoming Hull Healing for 8 sec. +50% Incoming Shield Healing for 8 sec Unkillable for 8 sec Once activated, this Trait cannot trigger again for 120 sec This Starship Trait came from the Lobi ship associated with the Year of Hell Lock Box, the fourth of Delta Rising. A similar ability comes from using the Temporal Operative captain primary specialization, the Tier 4 ability Continuity: Space Skill When reduced to less than 10% of your Hull, you will immediately be removed from danger. Your ship will teleport approximately 8km from its current location, become briefly untargetable, and have its hull and shields restored by a large amounts. This action will also wipe all accumulated threat vs. NPCs. After Continuity is triggered, your ship will perform at less than full capacity for a short period of time, as the timelines adjust to this sudden shift of probability. This effect may only trigger once every 3 minutes. If Threatening Stance is active, Teleport and Threat wipe will not occur. When reduced below 10% Hull, trigger Continuity (max once per 3 minutes) When triggered, apply to self: Teleport backwards 8km from current position and facing +____ Hit Points +____ Shield Regeneration per Facing Also causes "Adjustment Period" debuff: -80% All Damage for 20sec -66.7% Flight Speed for 20sec Additional investment completely removes the Adjustment Period debuff and adds a Reduced Cooldown on all Bridge Officer Abilities for 50% Lorak fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jul 21, 2020 |

Rough maths here, with an 20% Zen discount when charging, 20% blanket discount on the Zen Store (today) and 20% Lobi discount, that would mean that (if you put money into the game) you could get a combined discount of (0.8*0.8*0.8) ≈ 48.8% going from dollars to Zen to keys to Lobi (i.e. 51.2% of base price for variations of Lobi per key) compared to normal rates, correct?

The STF does open up some great griefing (and weak farming) potential. With a properly tanky ship and an NPC stuck in geometry, you can singlehandedly keep the mission from ending.

It doesn't actually matter a whole lot if I can SciHole I WIN button the whole map or just barely scratch paint with DPS that is possibly a negative number. I think of it as a sort of live fire testing ground for ship setups.
