Guys, I've built a dual cannon & mine dropping TOS constitution for elite STFs.

I've got a minor problem in the boff seating, though: I've got Fire at Will (because captain kirk says it a lot, so it must be good), Overload Integrity Field (because an integrity field sounds like the sort of thing you want running at maximum power), Boarding Party (because kirk used it to escape from the romulans in star trek III: Turns Out Nimoy's Got A Gambling Problem) and finally Structural Analysis (because it sounds like the sort of thing my favourite character, Isis the cat, would say). How do I unlock the "stare gormlessly at a chroma screen for 45 minutes" skill?

Anyway, I'm constantly getting tagged with crappy team mates, so we keep missing the optional objectives, and the primary can take up to 20 minutes some days. Worse, they're all super toxic and say things like "You're trolling" "Why are you throwing this STF" and "Why are you launching shuttles against the gateway"?

How do I avoid such bad team-mates? Is it in the wiki?

Finally, since Cryptic is not very good at responding to my tickets raised about the matter, is there any other way that I can get Isis the Cat added to the memorial of dead star trek people?

Start every queue with EEH with "Hello, I am your Emergency Entertainment Hologram. I exist to ensure that you have a full team to help complete difficult missions like this one".

Then spend the whole match doing retarded bot stuff. With luck, pubbies will start to fret that the game is clearly dying because Cryptic have had to pad out the playercount with bots to get instances to fire.

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.

The whole point of the crafting/upgrade system is to make people with no self control throw money at a (not) problem and buy a pile of R&D packs. So no, nothing is likely to happen to make it easier to grind up gear from drops alone.

e: Can you upgrade the pink dominion beams from Boldly They Rode?

That's the undine bioarmor from the lobi store. It gives you a costume unlock.

I don't know about that - did they roll back all progress on the server?

Maybe it's time to normalise some of the rewards.

Jem'Hadar Carrier. Intel specialisation, science seating, two hangers, wingmen and a deployable buddy for 7 combat pets active at once. The downsides are it doesn't have a secondary deflector or sensor analysis, it's light on engineering seating so you need to get creative for cooldown reduction and the turn rate is low because it's massive.

So it's compatible with the all-turret Battlestar playstyle?

46 new posts since I last checked in. Have they reverted to old droz? Weaponized snowballs in social zones? Retroactively changed the model for the Kelvin constitution with the attendant river of tears?

Imagine my disappointment.

High point was still Zelda/LinaMia putting together a team of the best and brightest HOBOs with trial matches and team strategy meetings, and then losing to our crack team of goons assembled by asking who in Mumble wasn't falling down drunk there might be some PVP.

... is that godawful STF where you scan random NPCs to find out if they're Undine still available as an option?

I'd reinstall for that.

Just played a full STF on the loading screen.

Actually played it, got a reward and everything and had the "+xp!" notifications going off. Just nothing loaded.

There's only one ground STF you should be playing and that's a foot race to the first boss room. Don't worry about the boss - if you don't approach him, he remains passive.

From there, give your team-mates quizzes on the literary works of Donald Trump, the history of the banana, or the merits of the dewey decimal system.

Remember, kids: your labour has value, and taking it away is a legitimate means to complain. :anarchists:

This really makes me want to see an episode written intelligently about industrial action on a spaceship.

I want to see the below decks Star Trek's take on why people are taking jobs where they get annihilated by the monster of the week/patently unsafe exploding consoles in a post-scarcity economy.

Maslow's hierarchy on cleaning space toilets and taking orders when you don't have to.

Can you still knock runners down with snowballs?

Maybe put up a few cover shields on the race track to help ameliorate the snowballs problem. Want people to be safe, after all.

The first time, I turned up and offered folks a dead pool. Not so much as a note of caution.

Can I still bring the TOS constitution to endgame content and roleplay negotiating with the space monsters? Preferably while my team-mates lose their minds?
