Well, I’m not quite back yet. I’m still quite busy. But yeah, the overwhelming factor and having to relearn builds and what not is what is keeping me from jumping back in.
A few questions, I noticed that there is now a TOS Starfleet and a DIS Starfleet. I know there are now stories in those eras, but are they only accessible by those characters? Same with the Dominion–is it only for Dominion characters?
I have a T6 Heavy Escort Carrier, I used to be able to solo some high end game content in it. Although I imagine the power creep has kept on creeping.
Beyond the basic stuff like promotion from Ensign to Lt, what are the criteria for the other ranks? I notice some folks who were Captains are now at Commodore rank, for example.
Just a thought on the current inactive kick policies:
New players to the game are probably much more likely to stop playing than grizzled vets. But grizzled vets also tend to be older or aging simply due to the time commitment to get that far. It may be a good idea to reevaluate how we are kicking inactives. Does it make sense to remove someone at commander level who has been active for four years and then inactive for one in favor of someone who might be active for less than a year and never come back? We’d need to wait a whole year to find out they stopped playing, which might be more time than they’ve played the game period.
I would propose a sliding scale of inactivity. Commanders given 18 months or more, lt. cmdrs. given 12 months, lts. given 9 months, and ensigns given 6. That way, we weed out people who have lost interest quickly, while leaving veterans more time to return.
Also, do you send out mail to the people you are removing so they realize they can come back with a simple message to one of your guys, or do they log on and find themselves fleetless?
Not trying to stir the pot, just wanted to throw in my two cents as a long time active member with occasional spurts of inactivity.
The most Elite Mesh Weavers that can be fielded is four. But with the swarmers, a ship like the Recluse could field 12. That is 12x the APB. Granted, it is only APB1 compared to APB3, but still.
Those swarmers are pretty amazing. It’s going to be a ABP face-roll fest if those have the ability to stack ABP.
I can confirm this is my wife. We did a few STFs with the fleet tonight to get her acquainted with some of our folks.
That’s pretty awesome, Jim. How did you do it?
Also, how do you have a humanoid non-Orion in Orion clothing?
