Star Trek Online

I've no intention of playing, unless they do a demo at some point, but out of curiosity how are escorts with cannons instead of beams doing in the live version? In the beta I found them pointless, the DPS was nice, but the arc meant that I had to front face them, and so my frontal shields always went down fast and as soon as I turned to tank on a different side I could no longer fire.

Work fine - you just get a high capacity shields, turrets on the back meaning you can bring all weapons onto the person infront - combined with abilities such as rapid fire they work well. Possibly not as fun as science ships and cruisers though. Some of us will probably get trial keys eventually.

I have drive an escort (not a ford :P) and have skilled up phasers.

It has become evident to me that heavy duel phaser cannons seems to be a lot more scarce then say compared to disrupters. Or is that juts me?

Am i likely going to find it tough to find 3 of them for when I hit Captain in 2 lvls time?

Should be able to buy them quite easily - or look in the fleet bank, have seen some in there now and again.

Edit: Just bought another bank tab for you all - enjoy :)

Will check soon but it's patching and apparantly the server will be down from 11 to 1 so I'll have to wait until after that. I'm pretty sure it is just iamdjdz@iamdjdz but I may have got it wrong. Also my ship's the USS Behemoth if that helps :)

EDIT: it's actually Iamdjdz@iamdjz cheers.

Will add you when we get back in. Who would have thought one capital letter would cause such a problem :)

Have I missed any big content patches or anything?

Havent played since the borg patch was introduced due to work commitments, hoping to be back online Tuesday and was wondering what I had missed :)

Just a few small patches. I think the raid content is coming sometime soon though - hopefully this week!

May be worth checking the minimum specs on the main website. It is supposed to scale very well to lower specs.

How difficult is it to get your fleetmates altogether in the same mission due to the instancing ?

It will automatically put you in with friends, team, fleet mates etc.

Anyone know what day the content patch falls on, im actually considering returning all 3 of my copies :( Just seems to be nothing to do endgame, a lot of it is repetitive and as someone else pointed out you level far far too fast. It does feel like a single player game.

Soon apparently.

Other half and I aren't even at Lt Commander yet. We were discussing yesterday how we don't know how people managed to get to Admiral as quick as they did.

Really, spend some time doing something else every now and then :)

You must be playing this non-stop to have levelled up as much as possible and done all missions!

I suppose this must just be for the more casual gamers, which for us is perfect. There is so much to do and see it will take us forever to get through it all. Though a bit more variety from fighting would be nice :D

Most people just used the sector defend missions when there was no cooldown timer. I would agree, there isnt much to do at endgame - hopefully the content comes soon. Just playing my alt mostly and selling stuff on the exchange - nearly hit 10mil :)
 
Frenzy said:
But ffalic, i didnt really rush. I didnt exploit either. Those people that did reached RA5 a week and a bit ago with some doing it pretty much during the headstard period. I only recently hit the level cap and ive noticed a lot of other people are too, just see them sitting in borg space farming loot :P

Not everyone did - but most of the people complaining on the official forums did. The content will come, just gotta be patient (or play an alt - I love my cruiser alt....seriously, she is hot :p ) :)

Hi all,

Well I'm still waiting for Steam to do it's thing! I think ive made the mistake of going to Steam forums and seeing all the negative feedback saying about the devs (Cryptic) being pants and money grabbers etc. But i think it looks fun and im a huge fan of ST so i think its a win win :)

The forums are full of trolls - the people enjoying themselves are in-game and dont post on forums ;). Make up your own mind. Once you have set up your account, post your username and captain name here and we can add you to our fleet :)

Ugh, I never read this before today (from an interview 6 days ago):



Weak :/
Click to expand...

Yeah - the problem I think was the recent unplanned skill cap that wouldn't have required a respec. Champions got a respec quickly - but it was always part of the plan. Weak indeed - but not the end of the world, most skills make little difference anyway.

Edit: Raidisodes tomorrow ;)

Edit 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLocZRFJyW8&feature=player_embedded - Undine content on its way soon too :)
