Fuck that T5u/T6 ship bullshit, what I want to know is if they actually messed with the AI enough to make it somewhat threatening in PvE.
Last time I played (1-2 weeks ago) I had the feeling in Borg RAs the enemies were far more fucking with the players than is usual. (Repeated FBPs from the spike, SNBs fired on a player, Scramble sensors etc.) Wonder if that was just random or a trend and if it will translate to the old eSTFs.

It's a bit more like Guild Wars than WoW in how it plays, as in you can play pretty much the entirety of the PvE game by your lonesome with AI allies and it's got a good dose of story to it. Gameplay wise the ship combat is about as good as you'll find anywhere for that scale of ship combat, ground combat is a little lacking but no worse than any other MMO.

The first one
LEGACY OF ROMULUSAdded Romulans as a playable race, we also got ROmulan ships to play around with.
Second expansion
DELTA RISINGAdded delta quadrant as playable are (Just two sector blocks).
Also we got new tier of ships and maximum level is now 60.
Tutorial has been re-made and the starting bridge you get is also different, also some other new episodes have been added and some of the early ones have been re-made.
You can now start the game as either a Feddie, a Klink or as a Rom player, the old "you must be level 25 before you can play klinks" thing was abolished.
We also got a chat channel named "/v/" and there seems to be folks on almost all the time, so you can ask there if you got any urgent questions regarding the game.
There were also some minor changes to ground combat, now you can free fire by pressing "B" and taking aim like that.
Crafting was remade and it's now actually pretty useful.
Fleets (see, guilds) were added and now you can get a better version of almost any ship from there as a fleet ship.
And of course, everything can be attained with ingame currencies.

It was pretty much pure shitposting and bumps, and when some TB's fans showed up to ask about STO, they got told
>the game is dedHell, even I would tell anyone who would ask me that the game is ded.
I don't think there is enough enthusiasm left in the old people and not enough good stuff in the game itself to make new people stay. Even if our /v/ is slower, there might not actually be enough things to talk about to keep an STO thread alive. I think the glacial pace of /vg/ is perfect for /stog/ to hibernate in while we are waiting for Cryptic to unfuck themselves.

Jesus fucking christ, how can this game be made so badly? I'm baffled. I know this game was a fuck up on launch, but even after 5 years holy fuck.
I'm serious, I'm in disbelief that it's not an alpha-stage game.
The game has a whole ton of mechanics that play in it, but it only tells you around 10% of it. Ever.
I'm level 17 and I still don't know what half the stats on my equipment does, and the half I do I know I had to look up in google.
I'm also sick and tired of the giant 'fuck you' that lockboxes are.

No to mention the unfinished, unpolished nature of almost everything. The enviroment fades out before the screen cuts to black 90% of the time when I beam up, so I'm just some dickhead standing on nothing in space.
My allies on ground missions have the worst pathfinding I've ever seen in an MMO. They're constantly jumping up in the air. Also, those commands of theirs aren't explain, so I had to self teach myself.
Then there's the klingon and romulan factions. They haven't even brought the federation's relatively boring campaign up to even a beta stage, why the fuck hav ethey shoved in these two unfinished campaigns? FFS the only ship variation has to be paid for. Each of those ships ends up costing you from $5 to $25. Heroes of the Storm is in shit for charging $10 for a character, $25 is nothing more than utter contempt to Star Trek, or even just MMO, fans.
How you people play this is beyond me. How TB thinks this game is worth 10 seconds is beyond me. It is painful and offensive to play this shit and be a gamer. Cryptic is a shit company that pushes shit products. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool of the highest caliber.

On top of this, revamp Defera to fall inline with Voth battlezone.
IE: Turn gorn into mid bosses, have the power plant and temple be part of a grand zone pushback. Possibly reintroduce the Borg Jem'Hadar Elite Drone as a boss in the temple.
Have similar rewards as voth zone.
Turn Hifnar/Mine Trap area into an open zone for Romulan Marks. Have the setup be the same as the stf version with each zone in danger highlighted on map. After refugees are cleared, have a boss fight in between zone reset, maybe a tal shiar/borg-enhanced salt vampire hybrid.

its THE better hazard emmiter AND does wonderful group heal with some shield on the side. only downside is that it does not follows the team as it is a beacon.
>subspace interception
are you grouped with pubs? do you have a friend on a science vessel with no shields? is that a shuttle on your daily attempt to enjoy STFs? this will give them a small invincibility frame that not even the most skilled player will be able to use to save himself! can be used to quickly take his place in battle, invincibility ranges from 2 seconds to 10 seconds.
>needs of many
a good team buff to do BZ and STFs as secondary shields can easily prevent interruption when using objects. the protection given is signifcant compared to a single APE or a singularity power, despite not healing the shields of the target.
>call emergency artillery
a brand new visual pollution skill! does "okay" damage and its AoE is pretty big, more pets summoned.
>phalanx formation
a hidden homage to superman64, it gives acc and defense buffs to anyone who gets on all 3 rings it will deploy. quite a small buff, not really worth it.

Ditch the tetryon weapons and replace them with Romulan plasma from New Romulus rep grind.
Ditch the lonely beamer and replace with with a turret of same energy type as your forward weapons.
Ditch the rear torpedo and replace it with a turret of same energy type as forward weapons.
Ditch the tetryon consoles and get consoles from Romulan embassy of your fleet.
Replace sci consoles with field generators
More shields > than more chance for shield heals.
Replace Engi consoles with ones that defend against both kinetic and energy and then as time passes, with some universal consoles, like the borg one from Omega rep grind.
You would also do well by replacing your shields and deflectors and such, try to get a whole set of something for starters.
On bridge officer skills, you can pretty much replace everything tovan has, well, maybe except that rapid fire one, it could be pretty gud.
Also one "emergency power to weapons" skill would be breddy gud for you.
Science skills look decent.
There's something for starters.
Of course, you could also make a beam boat, replace forward weapons with regular arrays same with rear weapons and broadside shit to death.

Quick rundown. Pick a goal and stick to it. Do you want AOE or focused fire. Next , two tac teams. You can kind of get away with one if you are moving your shields around yourself. Everyone else covered everything else I think.
No.6910
>>6909But tac team is always useful.
It gives you a small damage boost and makes it so that you don't have to move the shields by yourself.
No.6912
>>6910Yeah but in some cases you may want that free ensign slot open. Also if you are willing to hunt down the doffs you can pretty much turn one tac team into two.
But yeah. Right now as a somewhat new player odds are the common wisdom of two tac teams is the smart thing to do.
Oh yeah gearwise. Dyson/Undine and Romulan/Nuka would be my vote right now. The battlezones give you a "no fail state" place to grab marks and the like while New Rom and the LAIR OF THE SPIDER PEOPLE hands out marks pretty well and those two reps only need them.

>>6962sadly it might be the reason why they will get buffed. theres so much potential for damage buffs that are tied to the specialization command skills that what we really need is again to grind.
ambush point marker is fun to use, but awkward to place. concentrate firepower was such a nice idea but only pets use torps nowadays and all of them got HY1 too. what is the point of subspace interception? and reroute power? they all fall short on whatever they are supposed to do.
the healing skills are of course fucking fantastic but noone dies thanks to APE and the crit heal from DR reputation. rally point marker by itself is a excelent reason to consider a command ship.
No.6968
>>6966Suppression is ok if you do use a torpedo like the hyper-plasma torp, like I love to use. Having buffed HY torps between spreads is ok, but offensive wise, command isn't as good as intel. Surgical strikes can't be beaten as a commander level skill.
No.6969
>>6968space supress is pretty good compared to any weapon buff. one can use supress BFAW and APB for instance, the real issue is taht it doesnt represent a DPS gain for the ship. who would be interested on a aceton beam that slow downs ships? the only real advantage over aceton is that it can synergyze with tactical skills.
theres no other skill worth having. if there was a concentrate fire for beams or cannons it would be really neat, but the fact it works only on torps is really lame. if only we had reasons to use single torps the skill wouldnt be bad, it would be a free HY1 for everyone in the party.

>>7147>twins seductive orion "diplomats">>7149so little hull protection, im worried you have nothing but shields. consider getting 2 neutronics and replace those 2 blue science consoles with the universal on the engi slots.
take out the BA on back, use a turret or another torp. replace asap the onelisk omni BA with a proper plasma BA. do you still lack dps? replace all for 6 plasma BAs and broadside like a cruiser.
you have too many tractor beams. replace one for sience team. replace GW1 and science team 2 for tyker and tractor beam repulsor. tachyon got buffed so it might work instead of tyker.
your engi slot is actualy okay but you might be willing to get EPTW to empower DEM. replace THY for APB1 and get on the universal ensign slot either TS1 or BFAW 1.
>>7150efficiency is energy. pirate is okay but you can still re-skill them to stick them somewhere on your ship. you are likely to need energy instead of damage so its okay to not immediately use potatoman.

I think I got something that works alright.

embassy consoles would add a plasma proc to weapons. a measle dps but the good on plasma was exactly the proc would add damage tot he point it could match AP's crtd proc.
