RatheMagius, this was an exciting read, thanks for sharing your impressions. After several years, doing some of those activities isn’t as exciting as it used to be (for me), but roaming around the island is nice change of pace and I’m always looking forward to it.

Yeah, I’m definitely for a group photo – meetup on the Risa this week? I want to see what everyone chose as their summer costume, it was enough time to buy one. 😀

So, I copied my Jem’Hadar to tribble so I can test it. He is fed-allied, but if it works with M.A.C.O., it should work with kdf equivalent too. And the result was… it can be worn by Jem’Hadar so it is safe to purchase it.

[Damix]

Sure, I’m in – we had a similar event at one point, and it was fun! (:

If you want to go for DPS, pick JH Vanguard Warship – it has all the current cannon meta needs: 5 tac consoles, 5 fore weapons, commander tac seat to slot a rank III cannon boff power. Carrier allows different style with sci orientation and hangar pets so pick what you find more fun.

Also, speaking of cross-faction ships – Cardassian Intel Flight-Deck Cruiser has a really good dps trait.

Wow, RatheMagius’s build has 46k dps from hangar pets. It makes sense to support hangar pets in various ways for this ship if they can be so generous, good to know. I’m really glad carrier-role can shine like this, different approach to dps is welcomed addition.

And I’m really thinking of going for the disco set, that Mycelial Lightning looks powerful, especially numbers from the Nubia’s build. On both dps reports it was on top of the dps table, but not the same map so I wonder if that has to do with number difference, or it is build related.

Edit: system designer Jette Leavens on Ten Forward Weekly, 26.06.2019:
“They were tying to make adv beams good, but were not expecting THAT much of a difference. They’re considering both ways: nerfing adv beams and buffing the rest of the beams.”

On tribble: “Resolved an issue that caused Advanced Phaser Beam Arrays to apply Fire at Will 3 under Fire at Will 1 and Fire at Will 1 under Fire at Will 3.”

Naebliss sold me his Disconnie today so I’m excited to try it out later this week. I think I’ll go with the Aux2batt build, haven’t used it for years.

Twin phasers are not DBB, they are just BA with different visuals/FX.

You will have to get 25 tokens for the risian corvette, and the event runs for 44 days (July 2 – August 15). Flying around risa is fun so it won’t feel like a grind.

I will also miss the free t6 ship this round, but it should be mine the next time the event returns.

[Damix]

Is that true though? I thought the Romulans can get it from a console pack since I don’t think they can fly the Prototype Dreadnought cruiser.
My mistake on DPRM, roms can get it without being ally to kdf. She’Jal should choose another reason to ally with kdf. ^^

[Damix]

Nice. I also made a Reman when RR faction was introduced. It just felt as the best option because with Romulan Empire they were slaves, so now was the chance for them to become equal as Romulans in the new republic.

Go for the kdf to get a cheaper DPRM console from the exchange (feds need to buy a t6 to get it), if access to equipment matters to you.
Edit: Rathemagius is correct, Romulan faction have their own choice pack – you don’t have to go with kdf to get the console.

Omg, that’s a lot of hangar pets! xD

From what I read, advanced phasers and disruptors are currently best beams in-game, dealing 20% more damage than crafted weapons. For comparison, weapons like sensor-linked phasers or spiral waves will deal +2/3% more damage over crafted “standard” weapons.

This is a clear evidence STO has become pay2win game. In case this is unintentional, it is not fair to nerf something that expensive without a zen compensation as players might have bought it to access advanced beams.

[Damix]

I’d join elite ground, those aren’t that hard like elite space. My character is well equipped after adjusting my gear for fleet colony simulation runs.

[Damix]

Haven’t bought one so I can’t tell. Here is wiki link.

It seems 2pc bonus will be fixed today (“Resolved an issue where the 2pc bonus for the Stamets-Tilly Field Modifications set was improperly applying 120 Damage Control skill instead of raw +120% Hull Regeneration as intended.”)

I wonder if 3pc bonus damage is high enough to be significant.

Also, shield has some unique feature: “Your Weapon Attacks cause enemy Shields to receive 10% increased damage for 10 sec (Based on Shield Power)“, although it is still locked behind the tier 5 wing.

If anyone owns the set, let us know.

[Damix]

I think that is Para’s fault, he likes to make double copy of the facial hair so that he can examine it and store samples. c:
