No.18964
>>18963
Due to how the formula for crit chance works, it's literally impossible to get 100% crit chance. Bort posted it on r/sto a while back, but I don't think it's right (or I'm doing it wrong). A formula that actually seems to work (and works in your case there too) is
1-Tr/(Tr+.5*C)
where Tr is the total required (after all modifiers) and C is the Crit Rating as displayed. As you can see, you will never, ever get the left side to actual zero, and that C gets diminishing returns very quickly: in your case, taking out the shuttles entirely still gives you a ~72% crit chance, and just the Yellowstone gets you ~93%.

Rule of thumb right now is beam boats. You can be powerful with cannons and turrets, but you do have to do more to get to the same level of strength.
There's an actually kinda decent /v/ fleet.
FED side is called Vidya Trek.
KDF side is called House of Vid'ya

No.18972
>>18969
It's around. See if there's anyone in /v/ that can give you an invite. Ded atm because of holidays. Cannons are viable but you have to gitgud. Use DHCs instead of normal Dual cannons for better crit severity. Make sure you have [rapid] on your turrets. Since you're using disruptors, the terran track TIV DHC is great, since it can deal triple its damage as the target's hull lowers in HP. Make everything XIV, focusing on your weapons first. The Borg KCB combo is still good. Plasma consoles have been reworked. For cannons, it's all about being able to move into the rear arc and shoot the fuck out of the target using the intel skill bonus. Grab the maneuvering ship traits off of the exchange if you have the EC.
>>18971
Crosstalk also works with Neverwinter.
No.18973
>>18969
Yes and no.
Beams are king for sustained deeps, but cannons do excellent burst damage.
A raider like the Plesh Brekk, Baltim, or a Bird of Prey is your "end game" with cannons.
I was out DPSing my BFAW cruiser with a cannon Baltim the other day.
You do need several traits to make them viable though.
Intelligence spec is basically required to stack up even more flanking bonuses as well.
There's a trait that keeps cannons effective at longer ranges, so that one helps
As for type, Terran's Withering Disruptors are pretty good for cannons, but you can also go for Herald Antiproton cannons too.
Make sure you stick to one damage type though, because the all encompassing +cannon or +beam consoles are shite
No.18974
>>18969
I really hope you kept up with the winter event while you were leveling, because if you're not then you're losing a chance at a pretty good free T6 ship.
When you're done with all the storyline episodes, I recommend grinding tetryon beams because you can get them, the consoles, and a tetryon boosting weapons set for free via replaying a few missions. With that and your boffs set up properly, you should be more than good to go for reputation grinding.

Has anyone else had this problem? Stupid NPC's won't follow through doors, at least not without some serious coaxing. I thought it was just my boffs, but even that vorta fag there doesn't want to.

No.19009
>>19007
Yeah, seen exactly the same. My guess is that they broke some invisible object to make it passable to players, but impossible for NPCs and boffs to path properly through it. That doorway in the alpha base has an exact point that when PC crosses, the rest of the team goes apeshit. They are running around and jumping off of thin air and some of them even manage to get through on their own through some hole in the invisible object. Some careful maneuvering with the captain and giving waypoints to the boffs that are already on the right side of the door, and I have always managed to get most of my team through.
I did the prison only once since the update, but if I remember correctly, the boff didn't do any running or jumping there, so I guess they see this one as a solid barrier and just give up.

I just re-watched the episode after a very long time and I just realized something. If I understood the episode correctly, Annorax has been altering the timeline for roughly 200 years. Even if he did manage to bring back Kyana Prime & his wife, it would be 200 years in the future, meaning she'd be dead. I am not going to bother with the specifics, but it all boils down to the fucker who approved of that fucking episode and script.
No.19296
>>19293
Are we told when it was that Annorax ended up with his wife?
I always just thought that with Janeway Ackbaring right into the time eraser ship with Voyager, that ship itself was erased from time due to Hollywood logic. Effectively everything was shafted onto another timeline where he decided to fuck his wife more instead of planning his time ship which never was completed. He never spent two centuries messing about with time, just went on with his life normally 200 years before Voyager got to the region.

That all depends if the ship is destroyed in the same fashion as Voyager. In the show, the collision caused the ship's temporal core to destabilize and self-erase itself.

Funny enough, time travel is the basis of the new mobile Star Trek game that's out, Star Trek Timelines.
>yfw Cryptic fucks the timeline up so bad that CBS commissions another company to make a game around fixing it
John de Lancie is the only one I've seen with new dialogue at all, as they use clips of everyone else that they've signed on, or got the rights of their estate to use. Yes, Q appears at the start and tells you to take care of the small stuff while he works on playing god.
Ship combat is select the station for a boost while the other ship and yours flies around on a predetermined path to shoot at each other. As long as you have two damage officers, you win. Getting a new ship means you have to pay money for the dil packs, or get good rng on the regular packs and system scans, which you can do once every three hours, unless you pay dil to go faster.
You're limited to the amount of shuttle missions (doff missions) you can do, starting at two at a time, unless you pay 750 to get more slots, but since you're using your crew in those, they're unavailable for the main game section. To get more doff missions, you have to spend honor, which you get by doing the daily checklist of leveling up characters, sending them on away missions, scanning, equipping items, etc.
The main game section is a choose your own adventure portion, where as long as you have high enough skills, you'll succeed. Each mission costs chronitons, which you can refill by waiting or spending dil to recharge. Good luck getting past chapter 3 without spending any dosh for rare and ebin officers. I spent $10 on a dil pack with rares and ebins, and still can't beat the last part because the skills aren't high enough.
How do you raise your officers skills? Grind missions and shuttle missions to get items and pray to the RNG god.
There's supposed to be PvP later on, which will be cashcows wrecking freebies since you're going to be stuck in your starting ship, the Constellation, for a long ass time unless you pay dosh.
The story is better than cryptic's fanfics, but good luck getting to it unless you're a good goy. I would recommend siding with the Augments when the option comes up since you need their materials more to grind equipment, unless you really want Worf. On the plus side, you can remove Bajor, or remove Kanar. Or fuck them both over and side with Maquis shitters. Still, this game makes Korean grind fests look casual.

To expand on it, since I dicked around more, and looked at some of the options:
-the $4 monthly access is the best buy if you log in everyday for 100 dil. That's right, you get 3x the dil of the $10 pack, but you don't get the VIP levels whose only true value is to expand the number of crew you can have at once.
-your ships also have a level. This is not explained at all, but from what I can tell is that it adds more abilities to your ship. Not sure if it expands the number of boffs you can slot, since I'm not paying for that.
-this makes getting a good ship even worse, since you can only get pieces of schematics for each ship. Imagine the RNG of getting a ship with the current STO lockbox. Then imagine that you only get 1/4th of that ship, so you're stuck until you get more, and there's no exchange
-you can spend dil to get schematics of higher level ships if you are on friendly or honored terms of that faction. you raise your affinity for the faction by doing shuttle missions, but it's broken so that you can't raise your affinity at all
-every time you select a boff, a voice clip plays. Some of them only have one line, or the other line shows up so infrequently it doesn't matter. I didn't remember the black pilot dude from Enterprise at all, but this game makes me want to punch him in the face since the only voice clip in the game is him saying his name, "Mayweather" like a fukking ADR'd ghetto pokemon.
-some people have a dabo table option where you can spend 40 dil to get an item. anything from common to ebin. good job spending money on the drop that you get constantly during grinding missions while never getting the one you need. people are complaining in chat how bad the rng is in the game. Oh, and Limited time ship offers only show up for some people, and not others. Great business model, guys.
-block and ignore chat functions do not work. The goons already have a fleet for the godforsaken game. You can see where this is headed down the road. As far as I'm concerned, the goons can have this one. The cashgrab isn't worth it.

Yes, the featured episode has yet another 3 piece set, tachyon flavor, but as for a timeline of each energy type, no idea. There's already the Nukara set boosting tachyon damage, so the lockbox console is a great boost considering it's going for way less than the AP console.

If you tank it's a very solid choice; T5U sci oddy is still one of the best, and the T6 is just the same but better. Trait looks bredy gud if you're willing to use torps. You're not missing a whole lot by not getting the whole console sets (and you can get the 2-piece from the event ship, I think), so if you only have dosh for one it would be OK I think.

A lot more accurate than trying to listen for the chirp, at least for me, and I don't have to turn up the volume to hear it.

actually it did work, until recently, however it worked in a different way, because as you say, sto doesn't have actual auctions.
>make character
>put item on exchange
>delete char
>remake char with same name
>delete again
the item would remain on the exchange and would not be purchasable.
Now you have an item that always comes up when you search for the item by lowest price, but can't be bought.
for example say i put up an item that sells usually for 100k, up for 50k, and if i'm fast enough, then i can use this exploit to lock that item on the exchange, if i repeat this A LOT, then when someone looks for that item all the results will be my items, all unable to be purchased. This forces people who want to sell it to price it for less than 50k.
this happened to crafting materials right after the crafting system came out. Many people made a lot of ec controlling the market.
This was fixed soon after. No one was banned. I did it small time, because i didn't think it would work very well, but i still made nearly 800m ec, which i wasted pretty quickly.

>>19843
I dont understand how you would make money doing this. so people put it up for less.. alright. now its selling for less. so what?
No.19845
>>19844
it depends on the item.
for example, the old crafting materials, you could click them to convert them to new crafting materials(vidyatrek still has a shitload of them in the fleetbank, locked away for eternity) .
The price on these was skyrocketing, until someone lowered the price, then got a shitload of them, and could sell the results of the conversion
it is like insider trading.
The thing is you ave no idea how long the 'fake' entries on the exchange will last, but you know they are going eventually, and when that happens all the orders you were obscuring come back, resetting the price to what it was.
No.19846

It was their graduation cruise or something. Pretty common for cadets to go on a ship for a little bit before they graduate. At the US Naval Academy they do it at least two summers I think. In some places they will have the ships full of cadets, in others there will just be a team of cadets. Sticking a bunch of cadets on a Defiant-class would fill up the crew pretty quick, so there wouldn't be many actual officers, if any, especially if this were an elite group that was expected to be able to fly the ship themselves for the most part.

"The Skill System has been revamped to simplify the system and help players make better choices when choosing skills for their captains."
Seriously?
They're boosting this rerelease with major balance changes and it's going to look like their choices in our builds made everything better.
These build decisions forced on you will come from the same team you can watch on official streams.
If they don't massively boost the bonuses given by experience point use the advanced queues will remain bonus point lacking and/or suicide dangerous for most builds even at mk XII ultra rare.

eng is fucking worthless.
tac has all the power it needs and does more damage.
sci has fun and is required by tac to get dps numbers up,
eng just has loads of power, far more than it needs, eng also has the largest number of useless skills.
If i were rebalancing the game i would start by looking at the fact that no matter what ship you fly, it always requires tac skills. sci/eng is secondary to tac considerations.
every tac console slot as to be filled with a damage boosting console. the system is out of whack, eng console slots are basically 'universal dumping ground' and sci are used for embassy consoles that are basically weaker tac consoles.
too much focus on damage, all because it is possible to focus this much on damage.
change locaters and exploiters to 1 per ship and boost them 300%, change embassy consoles to 1 per ship and boost them 200%.
then you have a lot of left over console slots you can put some interesting stuff in instead just more of the same.
dps would go down for the ultra high end dps record setters, but would go up for most people and the game would be more interesting, as you can actually use some of those universal consoles that you didn't fit before.

there's only like 2-3 STFs people bother doing with any regularity. do they think messing around with core systems will ever change that? or do we need to play around in our one or two instances in a perfectly balanced manner and any fun we've been having has been completely wrong thus far?
just what IS their vision for the game? I mean 99% of the content they release is just super fucking easy single player shit we only care about for the equipment awards. so we can take that equipment back into the STF we do once a day for our daily mark bonus. until we hit rank 5 in a rep and just stop caring altogether. will any of this retooling change that in a positive manner?

Last time they made major changes, they made elite STFs a total PIA to complete, so people just stopped queueing for them. Stf queues basically died that day. Will weakening uber geared players who dump millions of dil into their builds make that situation improve? What is the game plan here?

Probably they just plan to kill the game so they can dump it and concentrate on neverwinter.

on the other hand, it's pretty gay that a lot of vendor trash requires a "scroll of identification" to use/get the full price for. also I might not be high level enough, but I don't think there are starships in that game.
and on an unrelated note, last night I had a dream in which I was playing a Doom .wad where all of the enemies were variations of Wesley Crusher.

No spaceships, though I think getting an airship will be featured in the future.
you must make that wad, anon

Gold is so useless in Neverwinter that scrolls are an AD trap for retards.

They didn't combine dil (astral diamonds) and EC (gold), they just made the auction house use astral diamonds while STO's exchange uses EC, which is why gold is so useless. You buy literally nothing with gold except profession materials (and potions if you haven't leveled alchemy yet).
