Was it that dude or was it the legit holocaust-denying goon outing himself that got us to swap over to nasheeds and communism? That whole era of terrible people kind of ran together.

Berke Negri posted:so is dominion just a mini faction like romulans and their own storyline or is it a not faction with a extended tutorial like the agents of yesteryear crap The latter. Their ships have a cool new pet mechanic though. Also the content is legitimately good this expac, mainly because it's primarily based on DS9 so they had a much better base to work off of.

Cythereal posted:As of ViL, the only Federation ships Fedroms can't get are certain faction-specific lockbox ships because the lockbox morphs into a Federation, Klingon, or Romulan ship when opened. Don't forget the Vet ships

Hello Sailor posted:Is there any reason not to use assault weapons for ground combat? From the tooltip, it seems like they do tons more damage. Most guns actually do their listed damage a couple of times per cycle (denoted by an "X amount of damage x2" or whatever number) whereas assaults and pulsewaves only do one big hit. They still generally lead the pack in terms of DPS, but not by the margin the tooltip would have you believe. The other weapon types can also recycle faster, and are generally better for procs and things like that.

Social Psychology posted:Man, I was all hyped up to play a Talaxian Fed but they don't even tap their combadge to transport, they just do the Klingon wrist flick. There's $200 down the drain. This is the worst post I have ever seen in the history of all these threads

Autism Sneaks posted:lol the last time I played this game the chase ships were like D'Kora Marauders and Jem'Hadar Dreadnoughts, now the Relativity is dogfighting the Enterprise-J The pizza cutter is the best ship to have because if you transport up to a heavily occupied DS9 or ESD space instance in it, you can sometimes fire players a couple of klicks out of position when your hitbox spawns.

For real though that last ten minutes is basically Klendathu. It's also very obvious that STO's ground combat was not meant to handle so many NPCs at once.

There's like three Sensor-Linked Omni beams on the exchange and they're all above 300 mil. The box didn't go away that long ago, so yeah, those guns are pricey.

Science dudes have some of the craziest STF soloing capabilities in the game right now. Tacs are still king poo poo of doing big damage easy, but Tac also got sorta-nerfed in season 13 when they changed how damage skills interact with exotic damage abilities. Science is fine. Eng does indeed suck though. The only way to do an endgame ship (that isn't desperately trying to pretend that dedicated tanks exist in this game) as an Engineer is a dedicated Kinetic torpedo boat, and those are super expensive to kit out and tend to be super annoying to play when doing story content. So don't be Eng.

Lagomorphic posted:Intel primary, pilot secondary is still the best general purpose combo. Strategist and temporal are also good if you build around them. Miracle Worker is also surprisingly workable, once you have it filled out. Hazard Emitters is basically guaranteed to crit three or four times, which means if you're popping it on cooldown you're basically always going to have extra damage, crit, and healing effectiveness. It gives big boats a lot more staying power. Intel's still superior on zippier ships thanks to flanking, but if you're flying something more tub-like or just want to be mathematically incapable of dying Miracle Worker is pretty great.

STO content is either really good and short or terrible and way too long. There is no in-between.

The new rep set is pretty garbage both in terms of stats and visuals (why would you make a set that can't be mixed in this day and age Cryptic ) so yeah, once you've exhausted the story content there isn't really a reason to log in regularly unless you found a secret stash of pubbies to farm angerquotes from. Still, as brief spurts of activity go, this was one of the better ones.

Star Trek being a refuge for terrible loving nerds isn't really an anomaly - literally any sort of space opera bullshit attracts the absolute worst kind of nerd. If you've created a piece of media that has aliens and spacecraft in it, congratulations, your fans will make you want to kill yourself.greasythepirate posted:I still post here for some reason Case in point.

People often intentionally face tank the crystal pulse and use whether or not it kills them as an indicator of damage done as opposed to just, you know, looking at the health bar.

Thirding that VoL is legitimately good in a way that STO normally isn't. It's worth a playthrough. And then we're right back to Discovery

I reinstalled and logged in solely to buy the Matsumoto pack thingy because I'm a nerd that grew up on star blazers and was sad when the creator died Is any of this post-hurq content worth doing? I've been gone for six or seven years

Yeah 2199 is the platonic ideal of a remake imo, and also actually a pretty good star trek show if you squint  Anyway it seems like most of my gear is still top of the line but I'm sure I'm missing years of power creeped ship traits and poo poo

Well since I'm gonna be flying this legendary akira I just bought I was thinking of going ham on a torp build since those are apparently actually workable now but I'm pretty sure I'm missing all the poo poo that would make that work That said I still have a good amount of welfare zen knocking around and an okay amount of ec and dil

g0del posted:To make a torp build work you really need a console to reduce global torp cooldown, the right torps, and some ways to get extra torp firing modes. For the console, the eagle's console is currently meta but the Ferrofluid Hydraulic Assembly also works, and is cheap since it's a rep item. Thanks. Are the kodais off the legendary here any good or are peregrines still the overall best for fed fighter pets (iirc the old Akira couldn't take frigate pets, no idea if the legendary can actually?)
