But then again, I’m not the target consumer, just a min-maxer that likes to PvP sometimes. And I haven’t found any desire to log in since the gear upgrade announcement. That announcement just killed my enthusiasm, since the barrier for entry just became stupidly high (gold gear or gtfo)…

This may have big impact on PvP, only time will tell. For PvE it won’t be that important as there isn’t any competition between team members and any lower quality gear will be good enough to get all the new optionals.

Looks interesting enough, gives me a bigger reason to focus just on 1 captain.

It is always good when they add more options to improve our captains and give us option to specialize them in certain areas – I have a feel of progress as it will add some flavor to the usual gameplay – my captain will actually gain experience, not just those xp points that don’t do anything. I don’t want to bother myself with its impact on PvP as I don’t pvp too much. I also like the idea where we get dilithium after we completed specializations.

Thank you, this will be very helpful : )

Here is a list of doff missions that reward contraband. Some of those missions give contraband only on critical success.

Hello space pirate! We have a plenty of Grog bottles in our stock, welcome to the fleet.

Actually, I posted that in-game to see if anyone is interested in making fleet role-playing possible. That is why I’m glad you are showing some interest. : )

I’m in the JP channel too, see you there! : )

Yeah, I’m up for some roleplaying as well… wouldn’t mind that.
I catch myself roleplaying with my own stuff… focusing a lot on engineering just because I like the idea of it.
Not sure how you would roleplay togheter in sto…

RP
I was thinking that we could do something similar like they did in Star Trek TV show. Choose a ship and a crew. Players that decide to rp would be bridge officers on that ship. Idea is to create a story by letting our imagination do its thing. When someone types something into chat that becomes part of “reality” in that situation so others adapt to it. This way WE create a story that could lead us to exploration, mystery solving or discovery of hidden knowledge – no boundaries.

We would need to develop our toon with background story and any other characteristics that would make it easier for us to adopt to created story. We should define the mission and name of the ship where we perform our duty. Mission could bring us to other planets, etc.

There is project Starbase 381 that I linked in my earlier post that serves as base to role-playing so it could be possible location to try out.

Just an idea that will maybe live up one day. : )

Thanks. I got the Ambassador title few days ago so I guess I’ll continue bumping those posts and add some role-playing flavor to paperwork that I’m doing.hehe

You should try out foundry missions: “Conjoined” and “The Rising Phoenix” at Fed side. You can find them at the list of spotlighted foundry missions. If you play any that you could recommend, write it here. I think there are a lot of good undiscovered stories.

Also, check our Screencap contest that is currently running – you can look at it as exploration.

If you would like to role-play, I’m interested into making Role-Playing section in the fleet.

Update:

– “The code we gave out should work once our internal servers are back up. If not, we will figure out someway to make up for this awesome Thursday gaffe.”
– “The code will grant you a free R&D pack filled with goodies.”
– “The code should work until tomorrow, and after the servers are back up.”

I think this one should be the working code once they fix what they have to: eHJ9b77q

Phoenix_Lord,

Thank you for visiting us at our Embassy. I’m glad that contacts have been established again after we took a short breather. As we are dealing with Vulcans, I guess that was the most logical thing at that time. We are looking forward to any possible interactions of our fleets in-game with aim of making STO a better experience for our members.

We are open for any proposal that comes to your mind, whether it comes to joint fleet events or any other logical move that has “fun” written all over it.

I hope we can chat in game if you will be interested in further talks.

Here is the official explanation why it doesn’t work.

Thanks Marcase, according to this Google doc, it will cost us 18,275 Dil to upgrade the item from MK XII to MK XIV. That is cheaper than getting new item of higher value from Fleet or Reputation store. I like this.

Thanks for the info, I will be just in time to see the livestream. Wish everyone luck if they will be giving out Red Matter Capacitor.

I usually wait for promotional time when they offer 15%-20% discount for services, outfits or ships for example.

As your character is Romulan faction, you should definitely consider buying Valdore Heavy Warbird – 1000 ZEN. It comes with unique console that can be used on any Warbird – Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator. That console is a must have as it procs a lot so it will keep your shield up as you use your cannons or beams.

ZEN Tier 5 ships have 9 console slots so Fleet ships are the way to go as they have 10 console slots. (Except 3-pack ships – Vesta, Rom.Dreadnought,Odyssay, Bort, etc. as they have 10 consoles too). So if you don’t plan on using the console that comes with ZEN t5 ship, go for Fleet ship. True, Fleet ship costs 5 Fleet ship modules and you only need 1 FSM if you have ZEN version of that ship. I usually have enough EC to buy those FSM from the exchange as I’m less inclined to spend ZEN or Dilithium as they are of higher value to me.

I think bank and inventory slots shouldn’t be on top of your priority. You can store items on ships that you currently don’t used (at shipyard) or send them to yourself via mail.

And be extra careful how you spend your skill points on your character as re-spec token is expensive – 500 ZEN. So better check now which skills are (or will be) most useful for you for end game content – PvE/PvP.

Also, you can find Liberated Borg Reman on C-Store, it is cool and it has Efficient space trait but Romulan boffs with Superior Romulan Operative trait are the ones you want to have on your space stations. So buy it only for role-playing. And Reman with Superior Infiltrator trait is better than the C-Store version.

Marcase said it well in his post.
