    Movie uniform add in?

    I love that we have gotten the vest variants for the movie uniforms as options, any chance we can get this added as a uniform option?

    Showing some love to the good old bulwark

    Got this one in phoenix lockbox because it looks cool (i already have a plenty of T6 ships, i'm not in need for a new T5U but i had one Ultra Rare Token and one thing led to the other).

    At first, i didn't thought much of it, gave the ship a little overlook and went to play with something else for some days, eventually getting bored and finding myself looking at her liyng down in my ship roster. I remembered i had a handful of temporal rep boxes and opened some of them, got some Chroniton Beam Arrays, reworked some traits and skills here and there and ended up finding it's extremelly fun to play with this thing. I absolutely loved playing with this ship and doing this build from scratch, just for fun w/o even looking at any guides. This hybrid playstile that puts it right between a battlecruiser and a carrier really got me into loving the bulwark

    If you can, give it a go, imo it's a really good ship if you have a token to spare

    Fleet action needed!

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    I'm looking to join a romulan/federation fleet in order to continue my campaign. Just need to do a fleet action and know nothing about the fleet stuff. Fairly new to the game but am willing to learn.

    Leaver penalties in TFO

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    So my game just crashed and took me back to the Xbox home screen I reload sto and I've been handed a leavers penalty for 28 mins for something that wasn't my fault in any way shape or form, I really think there needs to be an option maybe once a day where if your game crashes you can cancel the que ban as i rarely find a crash more than once a day if even that.

    Romulan Captains: Do you join KDF or Federation?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:29 AM PDT

    Looking to come back for the double XP period to grind out to max. Haven't gotten far with a Romulan character before, and I have never tried Science Captain, either. Thought this would be a good time to try out both!

    Which side did you join and why?

    I can see the benefits of both. Federation aligned would have access to a lot more ships while KDF ships look more in line with how Romulan ships work. Having not played a Science Captain before, suggestions on which Science ships are good investments?

    Finally, fleets. Any Xbox One Romulan majority fleets out there looking for new captains? I am perfectly fine with helping build up a small or new fleet.

    Thank you!

    With covid-19 I figured I put an idea up, ive had for a while, here. Has anyone ever thought about actually making the rebreathers from sto in 3d printers for cosplay...OR for real functionality? Is there anything else from sto you would make if you could?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:56 AM PDT

    I haven't played in a few months due to exams and I am so rusty! But I decided to continue my STO playthrough, if any of you have some tips please let me know!

    Hanger Pet Observations

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 07:10 AM PDT

    A few observations regarding hanger pets and pet related traits.

    Try not to make assumptions based on the tool tip information. Some pets sound great, but are pretty bad, with the reverse being true as well. Aeon Timeships sound rather basic and weak, but are actually good damage dealers. Callisto frigates meanwhile sound amazing, but they suck (they really shouldn't).

    Jem'Hadar gunboats also have beam overload 3 in addition to fire at will 3. It's not in their description, but they still use it. It sort of makes them not very reliable if you want them to take on mobs or single targets.

    Most pet effectiveness drops when they start to swarm, since their firepower is being spread about rather than concentrated on one shield facing.

    Pets with dual cannons are highly effective on approach to a target, especially if they have torps, with their combined cannons lowering a shield facing so their torps will impact on the hull. However, once they start to swarm their effectiveness drops radically due to the target mostly being outside their forward weapon arc.

    Peregrine fighters are great vs unshielded targets thanks to their quantum torpedos. So, great of ISA and KSA.

    Lost Souls of Gre'thor are insanely overpowered.

    Breen frigates are, in my opinion, the best frigates vs single targets. Their shield drain is amazing. Do note though that drain resistance gets higher depending on TFO difficulty and NPC rank.

    The downside with frigates is that they are seem to be much less responsive than fighters. This is especially a problem given pet AI, which can send them off on journeys over 25km away. I swear they fixed this and it seems to be a problem again.

    Observations regarding traits:-

    Coordinated Assault - Don't use this with beam overload, from what I've seen beam overload 1 stinks on pets and will actually lower their DPS. Cannon rapid fire(CRF) 1 though is great. From my testing Coordinated Assault CRF(CA-CRF) doesn't override the pets own CRF skill. In fact if you activate CA-CRF during the pets CRF, it will immediately switch to using CA-CRF once its own CRF skill has run out. Also CA-CRF will lockout the pets CRF, meaning it won't activate its own CRF until CA-CRF is over.

    Basically, don't worry that CA-CRF is going to mess up your pets own CRF.

    Superior Area Denial (SAD)- combined with Tactical Flyers will increase your DPS numbers due to the number or targets they hit. It should be pointed out though that while they do increase your DPS, they aren't at all deadly (personally I think they are some of the weakest pets in the game). So, if you're looking for pets that increase your DPS in an ISA/E or HSA/E run, then they are perfect. If you're looking for a pet that can actually help you kill a target, look somewhere else.

    The trait itself is pretty awesome and will also debuff your targets resistance. And expensive to Fed aligned toons. Real cheap for KDF align toons though.

    SAD works exactly the same as Coordinated Assault in regard to how it works with the Hanger pets own abilities, so you can happily chain FAW 1+3 with a Jem'Hadar Gunboat.

    Unified Engineering - This will reduce firing mode ability cooldown by about 2-3 seconds. Not really worth it in my opinion, but that combined with the other buffs it gives might mean it's of some use to a pure pet focused build.

    Scramble Fighters - First thing to keep in mind is that immunity has a lockout, so don't think your pets will be perma-invincible. With the exception of one pet, the main reason to slot this trait is for its pet heals. The +25% damage is nice, but its nothing special. If you can get your hanger cooldown down to 5 seconds this is an amazing trait when combined with frigates. Less so with fighters, since they will likely die from a direct hit on advanced or elite difficulty.

    Now for the exception, the Lost Souls of Gre'thor. These things can have a hanger cooldown of less than 1 seconds and I've managed to get scramble fighters to stack 8-10 times constantly, making that +25% damage really awesome. They will do about 10-12k per hit and they will hit a lot. Frankly it's a bit stupid how overpowered they are.

    Dampen Energy Signature - Great ability, but puts you in red alert, so don't use it if you intend to full impulse.

    Fed T5 Colony world access

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 06:24 AM PDT

    Hello!

    A few nights ago I finally managed to get one of my characters onto a T5 Colony world, and was pleasantly surprised how extremely powerful the Colony deflector and the Kentari boff are. You often see these things suggested for almost all kinds of builds, but up until recently I was happy with reputation D/E/C/S items.

    Well no more! The colony world items are really lovely, and I'd like to acquire the deflector/sec. deflector/console/boff on my other characters. However, getting access to a T5 Colony world has proven difficult. Asking in the armada chat has proven pointless. Asking in the NoP public service channel has proven fruitless as there is far too often too much nonsensical chat spam.

    Therefore I'm asking here in reddit if someone would be willing to invite my 4 characters to their T5 colony world and wait 2-3 minutes while I purchase the good stuff. Ingame handle is u/diaspar161, or we can agree on an invite time here.

    Edit: Wow, already solved. Thank you!

    ESD QOL/convenience change

    Posted: 24 Apr 2020 12:23 PM PDT

    Since Grym and the Ferengi Collector don't really do anything anymore, could Grym become ESD's (and Qo'noS') Latinum exchange?

    There's one on DS9, but not on ESD/SFA, or Qo'noS/KA, plus he's a Ferengi, so he's a perfect candidate.

    And because of the change in the mechanics, what about Commodities Broker Hosa having a change in careers and becoming the veteran dilithium miner, instead of the unnamed officer at the Academy?

    It's just kind of inconvenient to send my toons down to SFA and back up to ESD.

    Rocket launch is so broken...

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 04:23 AM PDT

    I went around to each of the three areas, and each of my first parts was Excellent. Went back to hang around the statue, didn't bother adjusting parts or anything. I ended up being the only one with three purple parts...and lost horrendously. Seriously. The launch slider didn't even move. Screenshot attached.

    Why is this so broken?
