Good stuff! The direct dil cost seems low but with 50k fleet credits and if you consider 1:1 for projects is almost 60K total (although of course there are other sources of fleet credits). Still not bad. I always knew the warp core sales were temporary, I sold a white mkx for 285K the first day LOL suckers. Have a neutronium and an RCS sitting in the bank, better get them on the market before it crashes.

you are stupid and it would be less stupid for you to go ahead and go lifetime! Sorry to put it so bluntly…

Every character gets the vet ship, titles, free retrofit ship, extra slots, bonus respec tokens, etc. And account bank is awesome. The more characters you have, the more value a LTS has.
The account bank is awesome but you don’t need LTS to get it. Pay 1 month sub (14.99?) and you got it – and it stays. Also any chars you are leveling will get respec tokens at that time, and if you get to 50 (or something) you will get all the personal bank slots. I didn’t level my klink sci to 50 and only got partial… going LTS doesn’t reward respecs retroactively as far as I know. Don’t let the ships sway you, sure the 1000 day looks nice, but if you aren’t constantly flying it why bother. Now, if it still sounds attractive to you to spend 200 on this, I say go for it!
If you are like me you find what you think is a great deal so you buy and the next day they take another % off… I think your current is very comparable to my current – Radeon HD 4850. I don’t have any issues running what I want currently so not really looking to upgrade real soon.
I haven’t started a Romulan char for many of those reasons… So just grinding Nukara and dil, and that’s about it.

Is there any reson to do side missions now or just burn to level cap and then gear out?
In EVE fleets we have large and small ships, but this game feels more like a trinity-level based mmo. Im i useless at level 14? Should I just work on gettijng to 50?There is not much exclusivity to lower level content other than perhaps harassing low level feds/kdf in kerrat. Otherwise just get to 50, you can replay the missions anytime you wish unless it is clearly time constrained special stuff. Or ‘enjoy’ it when leveling an alt heh! All other content is geared towards max level (50) chars.
I’ve have always been an AMD fan until recently. Intel chips are superior in every way now. Hope your new rig works well for you!
I think they lowered the server cap to put more people in the que and sell more LTS, which oh by the way as Lat said is only sale = only $199.00 hrm… conspiracy!
If I have already met my dilithium quota for the day, I’d go just to say I’ve done it. I’ve heard nightmares of it taking 4-5 hours, so 1 hour ain’t that bad. Also since it is a team, it can’t be x-faction so fed or kdf only.
Terribly annoying to be placed back into the login queue on switching chars 🙁 just trying to login “quickly” to refine dilithium I couldn’t last nite due to lag and downtime…
Was browsing thru the pvp forum on the big board and found some interesting ground material on ground basics: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=517971 and also on some gear (skip the part about the maps, unless you really want to try ground pvp… you sicko!): http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=550201
Sorry to James for going all out drill sgt on ya and hope the sick bay was able to fix all your ailments in short order.
Elite difficulty ain’t no joke, elite drones and heavies will bring the pain quick. A little preparation goes a long way and good gear can really help expedite. Getting used to ground combat (esp on elite difficulty) takes time. A good supply of:
large hypos (can be stored on boffs and retrieved mid-mission)
large shield charges
minor, major and even a few critical regens – if you keep minor/majors healed you don’t get criticals but just in case you forget
ground set – I understand Omega is the stuff now and just got it on a few toons but I haven’t used personally
gambling device – with omega piece dodge bonus this is probably OP and would really help keep you alive
understanding mission objectives – TS could have really helped instead of me trying to type everything out…
good distance and close range weapons – with a variety of damage types (at a time at least) – I like sniper and pulsewave, but split beams are popular
knowledge and understanding of your class and kit abilities – elite drone in your way? fire on my mark and suppressing fire and they won’t be so bothersome. enigeneer bombs/traps in the right place at the right time makes everything so much easier. sci keeping healing nanites going and the rest of the team alive keeps the damage going.don’t expect to just blow through everything if this is the first time doing ground stf’s, and learn from the painful experiences but don’t give up.
