Well shoot, I was hoping for a free respec. Yeah I will have to grind for it then. I liked the “Double-D”, but it and Ha’apax except for the turn rates.
I like to able to stay on the target’s weakest shield side, I also love mines – I am not sure how many will disagree with that. But it seems to help when you are solo.
I have notice there are times the “mob” will shoot at the mines instead of my ship or if they ignore the mines it can damage the shields along with my torpedoes.
And sorry about all the quotes 🙂

It was in the FAQ
Yup just found it there too 😉
BTW @Marcase
FYI – I have him (my Admiral) Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit – I like this bird the best because of its turn rate, the D’deridex feel so slow.
And is there anyway to get a Free Skill Reset token will out spending Zen/Cash? I know with Champions Online you get a free one at max level.

No worries, STO can often be overly (and unnecessarily) complicated and vague. You can begin by posting screenshots.
Okay well that leads to a question – I know how to take screenshots, but it cuts out the HUD/Skill table so I will have to find what to change/buttons to push first, so off to STO Wiki I go.

Found it:
You can take a <b>screen shot</b> in-game by hitting the <i>PrtScn</i> (“Print Screen”) button on your keyboard. A compressed JPEG image file will be created. If you press <i>Alt + PrtScn</i> an uncompressed TARGA (.TGA) image file will be created. In either event, the screen shot images are stored in the <i>{Local path to program}\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots\</i> directory. The image saved does <i>not</i> include the User Interface, however.
To take a screen shot with the User Interface, use the command <i>/screenshot_ui</i> (for TGA) or <i>/screenshot_ui_jpg</i> (for JPG) in the chat box. You may also bind a key to this — <i>/bind P screenshot_ui</i>, for example, will bind the <b>P</b> key to the <i>/screenshot_ui</i> command.
The option <b>/renderscale #</b> will scale to some multiple # of your monitor’s screen resolution (<i>/renderscale 1</i> is default). Thus, <i>/renderscale 2</i> will be an image 4 times as larger as it doubles the width and height. Running renderscales much higher than 2 or 3 can result in crashing the game. Resizing these later to your screen resolution can provide a type of antialiasing.

my setup, in case anyone cares i find it’s best to have my buttons near to the action, so i can see them without taking my eyes off what’s actually going on onscreen (for very long, anyway). keeping track of cooldowns, mostly…since i do my activations with an mmo mouse (razer naga trinity, with 12-button grid on the side).
Thank you BreakingForce, I am still learning so anyone’s input helps. And @Marcase, I wish to apologize for not posting my build, every time I try something comes up, but my main is up to Level 64 and his build is not really a build i.e. in the Lieutenant Section I just put points into everything.
Because like a dumba$$, I did not read anything before playing.
And I have question – Is there anyway to get a skill reset token besides the Zen Store?

Forum junkie eh ? Well at the fleet starbase we have a special section with padded rooms, so no worries.
Okay will do when I get off work 07
Forum Junkie – Yup, I spend 8 to 16Hrs at work, staring at 12 cameras, answering phones and dealing with the public. SO a active Fleet/Clan/Guild Forum is something I love, there at times (except for the wife) you folks will be my only contact for hours at a time.
And padded rooms ARE FUN lol 😀
Thanks again 07

Are you using keybinds / macros ? A simple keybind will vastly improve your gameplay. Heck, the STO devs themselves advise them. Post your build on this forum (under Mechanics) and we’ll give you some handy pointers.
Sorry for the late reply, Marcase.
Okay no I do not use keybinds/macros – I am a old mouse point and click player a habit I am trying to break, I have been trying to figure on how to set them up from the links show here. I will try to figure out how to use the build program from link and I will post it as directed.
I also now have a Klingon Engineering Captain who just hit Level 10 this morning, I am planning to use Paradoxical’s NX build on her, and get her into the Fleet soon as I can. 🙂
See I never been to much of a build player, as long I had fun I am good. BUT I can tell in this game I am going to be hurting a lot if I do not figure it out, so I have something else to get out of the habit of. 🙂
And with life/wife/job reading can sometimes be hard to get done. But I will try measure up to the fleet (and no you all are not pressuring me – that is me doing that), and get figured out, and thanks for all the help so far.

P.S. I am bit of a Forum Junkie so let me know if I become a pain LoL

Anything specific that blows the mind in STO ? Builds, loadouts, the right way to talk to an Orion girl…?
Builds mainly, and the Fleet stuff.
Orion Girls —- LoL all I will say is 8yrs USN LoL

Heh no worries, it’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a big enough hammer. We can give you advice or just give you a straight balanced cookie – cutter build and setup. We can walk you through the (admittedly) complex fleet holdings as well. There’s a fleet to back you up and clean up the mess so just carry on cap’n.
Well thanks for that, I kinda figured you Gals and Guys would help.
I sure you been there yourself, Marcas where you think you got it figured out. Then you read something or met someone that shows you something different and BOOM!!!!
The Mind is blown!

@akula2045
Thanks, I will try to do my best for the Fleet. I have been avoiding this game for a long time, since as a long time Star Trek Fan I KNEW I would get hooked on it 🙂
I hope you gals and guys do not mind having an Old Navy Snipe on board, YES I was in Engineering and Yes I have Scottish and Irish ancestors so you can guess who was my favorite in TOS 🙂
Good Luck All 07
