Star Trek Online

Viral matrix will be tweaked, its like the original kidney shot in wow. You could literally stun lock someone and kill them. Npcs cast this on me way too often, when i see that purple ball of "oh ****" i hit the damage resist buff (56%) or hit the reverse polarization buff. Simples.

edit

just thought id mention a DEV said viral matrix will be tweaked.

Well you think wrong. Easy , if you have the right sheilds and consoles, done it before in Starbase 24 many times :p I turn faster and have better weapons.

If i remember right, by the time you get your new ship at 11 the enemies in Star Base 24 are already lower level than you, so an even bigger gap if you are higher.
 
One thing I've not quite figured out yet is are resistances shield and/or hull based or are they omni? (Can't get in to test atm)

e.g slap a xx% disruptor resistance console on and your ship stats on the left will reflect that %./ Now does that mean it is a resistance on shields and hull?

Bearing in mind there are % resistance mods that just give you a description of what % against what damage type and there are consoles that give a % and say that it applies to hull, i.e. the ablative hull armor consoles etc.

Cheers

Oha nd anyone else here so nerdy that they wil only be using phasers/photon/quantums? I may change my mind but I love phasers, and due to the marques across the different weapon types having the same base damage I'll prob be going phaser/photon/quantum only. But I might go transphasic depending on how they work.

As far as i can tell the % resistances apply to the hull of the ship and not shields. I use 2 x 12% ones on my Vor'cha Battlecruiser and cant see a difference in damage to shields with them equipped or unequipped. A small note, those resistances have diminishing returns, for example 2 x 12% ones only 19% resistance instead of 24%.

I've been using Disruptors up until now as they fit the Klingon gameplay but plan to change to tetryon for the extra shield damage proc or polaron for the debuffs once i get logged back on and pick up the Klingon Vo'Quv Carrier. I need to have a look at the skill list again when the server is up before i decide though because if i remember right the polaron skill is the last tier and i won't have any points for that tier skills as we only get enough by level 45 to fill out 1.5 skills max.
 
http://sto-builder.binarybit.ch/ is a char builder, runs on Java. Not picked up any malware etc. with my AV but best be careful, I'm using MS Security Essentials (hardly an AV) but if someone with a better AV can see if it flags that would be great.

I suspect it is fine though and is quite handy.
 
A thanks Vader, seems thats for Fed side only but most of it is the same except we get KDF training instead of Starfleet training. Polaron are indeed in the last rank so i won't be going with them so looks like it'll be Tetryon.

Server is back up btw, so far i haven't seen anything different and there's been no level bump unless it was only to 40.
 
I have my Escort USS Alexandrine ready to go... and lol at this fleet!!!!

I can see a Dreadnaught here too... who is up for fleeting up? keep an eye on each other!
