DELTA RISING

[Sargon]

tomorrow after the 4 hour maintenance Delta Rising finally begins. I’m really looking forward to it. i plan to change the way i play the game so i will be playing all of my toons now regularly; Auloh Tac KDF, Sargun Eng KDF, Shar’Kali Sci Fed and of course my main Sargon Tac Fed aka the resource hog.

i have decided to go with the DR pack so my alts will get at least 2 new ships. my fed sci will get the new sci ships and Sargon will get the 2 cruisers and escort. i think the DR pack makes the most sense if you play multiple alts and for me this provides the variety i need to keep from getting bored.

the T6 ships will come first, so they get first pick of everything. my goal is to reduce the number of ships i have in order to more easily keep them well equipped without constant grinding. i prefer to equip each ship to avoid moving items around. loadouts don’t work very well for me so i don’t use them anymore; get tired of fixing trays.

so far i think i am going to really like the romulan ships, the sci ships and my favorite so far is that Eclipse Intel cruiser, i really like the way it looks. on the escort i will actually go back to DHCs since i have a perfectly good set of fleet elites collecting dust in the bank.

so what are your plans for DR?

see you in space and maybe on the ground even. 🙂

My plan is to kancho as many of your toons as often as possible

I bought the Galaxy X so I’m sticking with that and will be upgrading it… also going to give my standard Galaxy a spin and trying to make something out of it…. and last not least, still got the Excelsior and I will be upgrading that thing as well.

Gameplay wise, probably sticking it with just my Main. Also going to take another route, do something else what most people do and go away from the usual FAW setups (I just don’t believe in those setups). And have few of my alts as EC money makers when I can be bothered. EDIT: EC farming is being nerfed, so probably will focus 100% on my Main

I’m excited for more story content. I hope the weekdays will be good enough for me to get on, but I wouldn’t count on seeing me at night since I’m only silver. I’m only going to focus on leveling up my main. I’m still waiting on that revamped T6 Intrepid, pretty disappointed it’s either not happening or not going to be at launch. I guess my Temporal Destroyer will do lol, though I must say, that Huzari Destroyer looks pretty good. 2.6 million refined dilithium is really burning a hole in my pocket.

As for my alts, I’m hoping to pick up a couple older T5 Lockbox/Lobi ships as they may come down in price. Otherwise they’ll level purely through doffing. I picked up an XP doff, a couple xp bonus packs, and slotted some large xp projects in doffing, all for my main. Got to power level lol.

And I hope to see no one on the ground. Why have a First Officer at all if I’m forced to sully my uniform in the mud planetside? More pew pew in space. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold, it is very cold in space (and on Andoria).

I like that the Kazon Raider is a replacement for the Mirror ships, pretty solid layout and upgradable to T5-U (not T5-FU though). Benthan cruiser is solid but that Huzari ship… wow. Those ships are also T6 Fleet level (11 console), so those ships have an edge in PvP for the next few months. And that Positive Feedback Loop trait… a must for any FBP ship.

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." - Marcus Cole, Babylon 5

There are so much things happening in Delta that I don’t know what to do first! I’m happy to see story episodes being released as I know they will be of high quality and amazing as recent ones were. Not to mention I will meet Voyager crew!

Glad that Kobali world is adventure zone and not battle zone as it will probably go toward more story which I prefer. This will take more casual approach where I can do what I did on New Romulus – explore a little and try to find those hidden accolades. When I get tired of this, I will jump into battle easily, war is on every corner here + we already have ground battlezone to cover all my thirst for blood,hehe.

Approach Sargon and Jalif mentioned is something I wish to do too. After seeing Positive Feedback Loop trait that boosts exotic damage, I realized there are so much powers,traits,consoles that can make a science heavy build competitive and most importantly more fun than repetitive spacebar hitting. I will do this for my FED character and will probably start with Wells that I bought long time ago but didn’t used it much.

My KDF Tac character will still have aux2bat dhc build, nothing will be changed there but I’ll probably consider giving him either Kazon ship because that is the only ship that won’t be assimilated so I have tactical advantage! Just kidding, if price won’t be too expensive I’d like to try it out because it suits to my Klingon/Nausicaan crew theme.Could use it for less difficult content. Hazari lobi ship looks great! and would be other (more expensive) option for this character that would probably be better for Elite PvE.

ROM captain will get Upgrade token for his Ar’Kif and fly it until DR Pack comes to C-Store. At that moment everything changes if I manage to keep the ZEN,hehe.

Like with previous reputation, I’ll first complete it with only one character (FED) and than buy sponsorship tokens for other two.

And most importantly, I’m excited that we can have Talaxian Intel boff, I’ll probably get it on Fed side but have to see which profession to choose as lobi purchases have to be planned carefully. Want to keep my crew morale high! : )

Not so great first experiance… I just keep on crashing and crashing and crashing.

Only really had time before work to claim my DR ships and personnel, but have gotten the new romulan warbird and upgraded my Tal’ Shiar battle cruiser. Will play more tonite after work but liking it so far from the little i’ve seen.

I was able to load the game and play once, and never since, curiously.
Had I known that I would’ve never logged off, lol.
Now it just keeps crashing on the loading screen.
