It's pretty much impossible for them to be worse than the Borg. The Borg by their very nature are at a permanent state of war with whomever they come to contact with.

You don't even have to think about some potential evil empire. No Borg, Feds get btfo hard and fast by the Dominion. The only reason there was a significant buildup in time for the Dominion War was because Feds got woken up from their peace-induced stupor by Q and the Borg. Because of the Prophets, The Sisko would still have happened, still opened the wormhole, and still exposed the AQ to the Dominion; the only thing that would have been different would be that Jennifer would still be alive (and maybe not even then, because muh destiny).
Also, remember the Borg have time travel too. The lynchpin of the Iconian plan working was that the igonians can't into time travel.

Hello boys and girls!
Want some more head cannon i cooked up?
Here comes!
The reason why Feddie captain decided to not kill the Iconians in the past was because the Feddie captain was actually a mirror universe counter part of himself.
Now you are asking, "why wouldn't he kill the Iconians then if he came from a more violent universe?".
Well, that is because the MU guys don't want Prime universe guys to win the Iconians in a way that would leave them strong, instead, they sought a way to weaken the alliance in prime universe, first by infiltrating their own temporal agents inside the Krenim research lab, posing as their prime universe counter parts, sabotaging the research and re-coding the simulations so each time it would give them a worse than bad result in the end.
Then when the Iconians were finally attacking Earth itself, one of these Mirror operatives, posing as a prominent captain in Federation forces, was sent to the past where he then allowed the Iconians to survive, and bought a way for a peace of sorts.
After all, it takes less war potential to conquer weakened alliance of three or more nations, than it would have to take on the Iconians of the Prime universe.
Well, that was that.

So it all comes down to Cryptic having shitty writers.
Well, i still had to vent my disbelief on the lack of quality of this writing somewhere.
Oh and i decided to make a mistake today.
I went to STO Forums to see the fallout there.

100%, and 0%.
They literally have Trendy, a paid shill, to make sure dissent doesn't get out of line. Don't think the mods are paid, but they're there too. However, do you think the forums would be so hostile if Cryptic (or PWE) was in there trying to astroturf? No. The devs hardly go to the forums anymore, except to the forums and threads relevant to their jobs (like the one dev that goes to the Art forum to find art bugs and stuff).
Pretty much you people here are the only ones that really hate this ep for reasons besides blind hate. A few easily patched plot holes aside, it was bredy gud. I could certainly see "better than tv or movie quality": a lot of the movie and tv stuff was absolute garbage, remember. This ep is way better than the worst stuff, and probably above VOY average. Low bar, sure, but the bar has been overcome here, and in other recent missions.

Hell, there has been at least one case of players choices mattering in STO.
Remember that one patrol mission where you fly around Deferi space and encounter a Breen patrol, stop them and check them for anything illegal, discover some Deferi passengers and manage to get them to relinquish them?
After that you could then either just walk away from it or prompt the Breen into attacking you.
After that little fight, you could either leave again or wait for Breen reinforcements and defeat them.
I know that's not much, and i know that Cryptic cant code nor write separate story lines for characters who chose to either save or eradicate them.

>renegade/paragon status fucking when
Probably never, but wouldn't it be nice if, IF they ever implemented one, that if you went by paragon options, your character would end up being aligned with the Federation, Romulan Republic or the Klingon empire.
And as a renegade, you would be aligned with the Terran empire, Romulan empire or some sub faction of Klingon empire that wants to make the empire magnificent again, to bring more glorious warfare, instead of letting the warriors wither away on a seemingly endless era of peace brought by the dogs in the high council.

While I don't really like the idea itself, the Klingons could be simply divided by which House you are aligned with.
Paragons get House of Martok/Mogh (isn't it still around?) while Renegades go with the House of Duras.

>>16468
This is why escorts or escort-like setups aren't at the top of the deeps charts, right?
Oh, wait, they are.
With an escort you have a lot more room for attack patterns and the like. Also, even broadsiding beams only gives you a 70-degree arc on either side with all beams; a DBB/omni build will get you full coverage at 90 degrees up front, and escorts get the best of that, since front arc is the hardest to use (and you don't waste a slot in the back like if you used cruisers).

How much do you want to bet they get rid of marauding missions next season and invalidate all the Rom/KDF characters I just made?
No.16477

Indeed. The short fire cycle of a cannon doesn't easily allow overcapping, which gives beams a huge advantage. Additionally, even with a ton of turn, keeping stuff in a cannon's arc is pretty hard if the target can turn at all. Oh, and FAW>CSV, since CSV bases its arc around the target, not around your guns' firing arcs.

The entire rank system needs to be overhauled. It really serves no purpose besides providing empty nonsensical accolades. It doesn't matter how many Admiral pips you have, you're still taking orders from fucking Lieutenant Commanders.

Hell, they're probably the ones that let her go. She's been nothing but helpful, at least to the long-term health of the Federation. Sure, she accidentally Romulus, but that led directly to the probable death of the Empire, and the rise of the friendly Republic. It also cemented Fed/Klink relations like never before, leading to the eventual klink joining the Federation. I mean, sure, a lot of people died, and some colonies were wiped out, but it doesn't look like anything terribly important happened to the feds, while Qonos and NR are rekt.

I guess that one starbase was lost, and they had to rebuild ESD again. apparently "a third of the fleet" was lost in Blood of the Ancients, but it wasn't clear whose fleet. the Romulan Republic, since D'Tan said it? or the Fed/KDF/Rom/DQ anti-Iconian alliance's fleet?
and then when Kagran decided to zergrush a sphere, it seems like everybody got wiped out except Paris and PLAYER CHARACTER. obviously the flagships, the Defiant, the Chimera, etc. were either not there or got away, but that was a lot of lost ships. plus all the wrecked ships in Midnight.

C-store T5/T5u are rare
fleet is very rare
lockbox/event ships and T6 are ultra-rare
cooldown depends on tier. a T'liss has 10 minutes, everything else I actually have right now is 20h 50min, or 1 day and 12 hours for T6. I'm not seeing any kind of "pay dil to send ships out again" option, and the cooldown doesn't seem to care how long the mission is or what the results are.

I'm not sure how much of this is finished and how much is subject to change, but it seems like T1 ships like the T'liss and some K-BoP give double something in the rewards. some lower-tier ships reduce the cooldown/maintenence.
hard to say since I don't have that many lower-tier ships around. although on tribble I can just dismiss ships willy-nilly and buy ships for dil.
not entirely sure how events work, but I seem to have won two (one-time use?) T6 ships for critting something.

"gold foiled" Enterprise is probably what you get when you reach tier 10 in the Federation campaign. I don't even want to think about the maintenance time on a flagship. probably a week.
these were just mission rewards, which…. well, obviously I can't check right now, but off the top of my head they were both T6 ships. I think one was a pilot ship and the other might've been a command ship.
if you consider the maintenance time on a T6 ship, which as far as I can tell doesn't care whether it's a 15 minute mission or a 20 hour one, one-time-use ships are going to be extremely valuable.
and if I got two of them off a crit at T0 in a campaign, I wouldn't be surprised if ships are the prisoners and colonists of the admiralty system. (although you can get prisoner and colonist doffs from admiralty missions too).
