Chortles posted:Besides what g0del said, the KDF tutorial and some early missions got a recent revision, with more to come; differences that I noticed include Warden Gazzan looking like a TOS Gorn instead of 'STO Gorn', a very early story mission now being set after the founding of the Romulan Republic and its formal diplomatic relations with the Klingon Empire, and the erstwhile 'witch of Nimbus III' now looking like and voiced by Rekha Sharma. Not sure how long it's been but the mission where the Republic ship shows up to help you fight the Tal Shiar ship has been there for several years now. They updated it a little, but didn't change what actually happens.

Great for alts, I have 4 x12 inv slots stashed already.

Vo'quv was always an ugly fucker so a T6 version being hideous is on brand, and I'm okay with that.  Romulan one looks like a weird and less attractive variant of their Kelvin carrier. I wonder if they'll share costume bits.

The wiki died because we don’t have goon secrets anymore and r/stobuilds is a better-resourced version of the same thing.

Was messing about with the T6 tac escort I had in drydock tonight and managed to make it into a boom and zoomer with one hell of an alpha. can't be assed to type it out, but protip to anyone that gives a poo poo about escorts, don't neglect aux and poo poo that boosts aux, it's actually fun as hell to fly at 50+ impulse and unload all of your cooldowns on poo poo when you're outside of 10km by the time your last active ends. a2b for life.

A giant ugly brick with two nacelles on pylons at the back. The original Vo'quv worked for me, I think it struck a pretty good Battlestar Galactica vibe, but this thing's just ugly.

There's like a billion types and the game doesn't tell you poo poo about them I don't know how true this is for each type of pet, but the word being spread lately is that according to parses from testing the basic versions of most pets perform better than the advanced or elites due to terrible AI.

A while back it was mostly "go frigates if you can because they live long enough to have an effect, whereas most others just die so fast they're irrelevant", but I don't know if that's still the case.

Should I bother with duty officers and their missions pre-50? I'm at 31 and it seems the success chances are lowish at best or should I just get better officers? Currently stuck on the Episode missions because some ships spawn inside a planet and are unattackable in Fek'lhri Return/Afterlife so I'm trying to advance by other means. Also add K'Piggu@ericthebear42#8230 to guild and chat if people still use them.

I would also like to append Cythereal's ship recommendations by noting that if you don't care about visuals, only consoles and starship traits, then Romulan warbirds are the 'actually account-wide' choice (like the Cardassian Intel and 31st Century Temporal ship bundles) since they can now be used by FED/KDF captains. For example, nowadays out of the T6 Battlecruiser bundle I'd only buy (or use a 100% T6 Ship coupon on) the Morrigu, as I'm not attached to the Arbiter or Kurak visuals, and out of the T6 Escort bundle (Valiant Tactical Escort/Kor Bird-of-Prey/Malem Light Warbird) I'd go with the Malem if I only wanted the Withering Barrage trait. Finally, if the FED Legendary Bundle (officially the "10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Standard Bundle"... the Premium Bundle is not recommended to say the least) then I'd suggest it for a few reasons:

Chortles posted:Besides r/stobuilds and Cythereal's post that Error 404 linked, I'd like to add there's several 'budget build' guides around on YouTube and on the Internet that lean on combinations of mission rewards and reputation set gear. For example, running the Sunrise mission three or four times will net you a phaser weapon+quantum torpedo+console set: the console grants +20% Phaser Damage, a slight Auxiliary power boost, increases your energy/shield drain potency and resistance to same, and it can auto-cleanse Auxiliary power disables; the torpedo has a shield drain (which is increased on the primary target of a Torpedo Spread) as well as built-in critical chance and severity bonuses; and the energy weapon has said bonuses as well as a 2.5% chance to drain the target's shields and restore your own by that amount. The 2-piece bonus is boosted Accuracy Rating and doubled potency of the shield drains/heals, while the 3-piece gives your ship a phaser damage attack that lasts ten seconds if uninterrupted and siphons power levels during that time, with a two minute cooldown. Yeah if you can swing that package it’s broken AF. Obviously way out of reach for a new player but if you have an admiralty farm going it’s not too crazy to grind out.

I think with recent trait additions you can refresh/invuln hanger pets so often that fighters make more sense again for DPS. The issue with rarity for some pets is that the elite versions tend to favor 'upgrading' to weapons with narrower firing arcs, and the AI can't keep up with that.

Also add K'Piggu@ericthebear42#8230 to guild and chat if people still use them. Duty officers are mostly used for builds now (your active ground and space doffs), but the best ones tend to come from randomized boxes and can be very expensive on the exchange. The exception is purple A2B technicians, which you can get from finishing the colonization chain missions in the B'Tran cluster and then hoping for a crit on the "Support B'Tran Cluster Colonization Efforts" mission. As for running other doff missions, the commendation rewards are mostly more doffs and accolades/titles. The diplomacy/marauding commendations offer extra transwarp locations, and if you get rank 4, you can pick one boff from the opposite faction. Since you can get free transwarps from mission replays it's only worth working on if you really want that orion waifu for your fed captain. Or need one of the titles for your roleplay immersion. Otherwise feel free to ignore them unless cryptic re-runs one of the recruitment events.

There's like a billion types and the game doesn't tell you poo poo about them Frigates if the ship has them, with one exception (the cardassian yukawa frigates or however they're spelled are useless since their AI is broken, and lawl of course they're the only ship-agnostic frigates) but general use fighters are more contentious? I'm pretty sure the Nausicaan stingers are still really good but that's not an option for Feds, but in general if they have a torpedo, beams/a 360-degree weapon, and anything to buff either of those they're probably fine.

Romulan drone frigates are murderous and were the most broken thing in PVP. Of course there is no PVP now so just whatever is fun I guess? I liked launching rainbow sphere drones out of the Voth marital aid’s glowing urethra.

g0del posted:Drop the mission, go do something else for awhile to make sure the instance gets reset, then try the mission again. If it keeps bugging out, just skip it and go to the next one. The odds of cryptic fixing bugs in an older mission anytime soon are very low. Yeah I dropped the mission and reset the instance. With some googling I found that other people have had this issue in the last two weeks or so. It seems the planet Boreth has gotten bigger or moved closer to the mission area in a recent update and that indirect dmg sometimes works(mines, eject warp plasma, etc). I bug reported it, unfortunately the episodes below it are all locked. Dunno if that's by design or what.
