Min/Maxer? I’m a terrible player and still opt for a the passives. Persistent beats the hell out of one hit wonders; You can always depend on them.
I checked the other day and cats while on the market don’t start until 1,700,000!!! Seriously my real, living breathing cats don’t cost me that much :). I’ll wait to the DR fever dies down and people will beg me to take cats off their hand for nothing; Just like in real life :).
Transmissions from horridspace may be fragmented for a bit. The borg savaged the horridcomputer something wicked. I had to reformat the hard drive and rebuild from scratch today. Many cat pictures were lost :(.
Always more enjoyable to run events with the fleet but PUGs aren’t as bad as people; including myself 🙂 might indicate. Occasionally if I end up participating in a meltdown I’ll make a disparaging remark about it on the fleet channel but most times when I’m part of a good one I don’t broadcast it.
The new content, particularly the higher challenge material may make it less desirable to PUG but we will have to wait and see.
Watch out rich! Marcase is trying to trick you! They say you’ll get a free borg boff but they want to leave you in a chamber to die 🙂 >
There’s a new thread about an inter-fleet initiative to challenge the upcoming hardcore content. It may be unrelated to roleplaying but being more involved with these other fleets may help out looking for rp oriented players.
It could be a good premise as well with an adhoc task force/battle group being formed from a collection of fleets. Pretty skeleton story seed but it wasn’t a minute of thought.
It’s pretty cool to see a coalition of fleets forming. Someone involved should talk to the STO writers about making these seem remotely plausible 🙂 .
I am not elite so I can’t see myself involved in this particular endeavor. I’m actively working at improving my characters but none of them are truly competitive and prepared for this level of play out of the gate.
I really appreciate the stance you have taken regarding the spirit of the 44th and seeing this validates my belief that this is the best fleet and that I am fortunate to play with such a wonderful group of people.
It’s worth mentioning that should cooperation between fleets prove enjoyable this could open doors to more cross fleet activities that would work for other kinds of players.
That reduced fleet mark project sounds great; Honestly, I never even realized it was offering less credit for marks because I rarely get to projects in a timely fashion. If it pays out better than contributing replicators and such I’ll be all over it 🙂 .
It’s a really cool idea and there are some good resources and a community out there to draw assistance from.
A majority of players would probably be more interested in a Starfleet oriented rp; Let’s face it there are more Federation players than KDF and the most casual observer of Star Trek is probably better versed in Starfleet and more comfortable within that framework.
Thanks for the heads up. Luckily I’m demolishing a sun room so I’ll be away from the temptation to check it out. If anyone is willing to ruin their own surprise and is watching the stream and would be kind enough to pass along any codes they see I would be terribly grateful because it sounds like they are handing out some really cool treats this time around.
I am a master of procrastination and it may have been to my advantage rather than misfortune for a change. I don’t have a master plan that is going to allow me to hit the ground running when the latest expansion hits nut as it approaches I do have room to grow with all of my characters so I have something to do.
I have been a dinosaur in the meta since I started playing. I came to the party late (2012) and hadn’t collected the best gear there was to had then. I still haven’t managed to catch up and from the practice drubbings I took from the Fleet PvP community prepping for the Olympics it’s likely I’m further behind than I ever was 😆 . At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter as long as I’m having fun. I enjoy new content and stories especially so the prospect of an adventure in the Delta Quadrant excites me whether I have the best ships or even if Voyager was my favorite Trek; It wasn’t (Across the board it is my least favorite incarnation of the series).
Moving toward DR I have decided to build better Captains and have some fun with them. I will try to lock down some nice traits and tweaks for my officers and their crews but I’m not going to stress over what ship I will be commanding more than a month down the road. I look at my captain him/herself as the unchanging component. Whatever I do to further develop them is to my advantage. Even if I do tweak things out all the flashy traits in the universe are useless when I slackjaw in the PvE queue and neglect to change up my ground traits for the space mission I just committed to :oops:.
That looks awesome. I really enjoyed the historical documentary format of the prelude; I think I’d be disappointed if the style changed to an, “as it’s happening” format.. Really cool they are examining a character like Garth from ToS. With three days to go they are “over budget”!
I’m not sure if the texture are part of the unlock either. I really like them and am tempted to drop the zen to get them. Since I’m so close to t5(94000?) I think I’ll err on the side of caution and wait and see.
Just from being on the other night noticed some significant improvements. My hours are odd (at least locally) but there was no queue and the stability seemed to have improved as well. I crossing my fingers as the fix they are bringing up is intended among other things to improve same so hopefully they won’t unfix what doesn’t appear to be broken from where I’m sitting.
I’m really liking the new storyline. I made subcommander (21) before I logged off last session and just got my valdore “meaned” up (still waiting on Ba’el to finish T5 Rom rep so I can make my ships look cool with the reman textures 🙄 ).
A couple situations in the late teens adventures were a little too implausi-bad to believe Tal Shiar vetting processes aside this is really enjoyable. Yeah, I have new stories and costumes to play with I’m a happy horridperson 😀 . The I.K.S. bok Huj (trans. strange alliance) is ready for war. Qapla’! 😳 erm, whatever Romulans say.
I have two characters I’m monkeying about with on mindflayer as well. Ran into Lat pretty early in the visit and he carried me through some levels and dungeons: Funny how D&D imitates Trek 😀 .
One thing I noticed here was how this game was more demanding than STO. My poor computer (duo @ 1.67) was taxed mercilessly when I was running 5 man dungeons and with the FPS disaster I couldn’t do anything.
I had been thinking of an upgrade for a while and ended up ordering a refurbished replacement. I went this route because it is cheaper than buying totally new and I don’t trust win 8 and was able to score WIN 7 on the new (to me) unit. An AMD 10 isn’t a stellar monster but it is a marked improvement from what I have now so hopefully my snail will move into the domain of “fast turtles”.
