Star Trek Online Monday Megathread - your weekly "dumb question" thread

Could we get some better material options. If the other ships get a pass for model and materials then do the work and make us throw cash for space magic.

Hard choice between 2 900 lobi ships...

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:18 AM PDT

OK, so before today I had no idea that they had a ship that looks pretty gorram close to the [Narada](https://sto.gamepedia.com/Tal_Shiar_Khlinae_Adapted_Battlecruiser) in the game...

Previously I was dead set on the [Vengeance](https://sto.gamepedia.com/Kelvin_Vengeance_Intel_Dreadnought_Cruiser) and had heard pretty decent reviews of the ship...

Should I still be thirsting for the Vengeance, or should I set my sights on the Narada clone?

Thank you to all the great and nice people on this subreddit

Posted: 30 Aug 2020 02:24 PM PDT

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the helpful people on here, giving opinions and advice, and whenever someone has a question there is typically great responses (as long as its not the same question that has been asked 5 times that day) People that help make this game we love that much more better with positive and helpful answers are very great. Unfortunately there are some that are either negative, or just like to downvote everything because of whatever reason. So to those that are the first set thank you and you are awesome, and to those that are the second set well I hope better things happen to you so that you can be a better more positive person instead of spreading negativity. I think we have enough of that going on in this world and even though you are causing the negativity on here I still don't wish bad things to you and would hope you could take a moment and be a little kinder.

Since we got the warbirds for other characters as well, would it be possible to actually have the I.R.W. as well/

Red Angel Tailor Outfit Not Showing Up.

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:18 AM PDT

I bought the Red Angel Suit via buyout from the Zen store and I can't seem to reclaim it or use it as a tailor outfit. Is this how it's supposed to be or am I running into a problem, and if so how can I fix it?

Thanks

Stupidest thing you’ve done to complete an endeavor?

Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:09 PM PDT

I let a Disco Klingon cruiser shoot at me for 15 minute in a patrol to complete a shield heal endeavor. It was actually kind of embarrassing for the Klingon.

Kelvin Intel Dreadnought Build

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:19 AM PDT

My kelvin intel dreadnought build. Am looking for suggestions for room for improvement or things I may be overlooking. Long time STO player (since 2012). I do not know how to DPS parse but this appears to kill things more quickly than my previous cannon build, I'd guess averaging between 100k and 200k DPS based on how quickly it kills things. I recently switched to a BO build after many years using cannons. My crit H varies from 38.5 to 43%, it apparently rises a few percent in combat idk why. I have built it for max crit H, max firepower and max shield durability (I have over the years found that if my shields stay up, I last longer in a fight). I play elite content or PVP. 2,000,000 hp dreadnoughts usually last about 1 full firing cycle of BO after taking down the enemy shields. My DBB bo's, unbuffed score 30-45k crits, and buffed 50-95k crits. The high yield gravimetric torpedo I find highly useful as a grav well + torpedo with 150-300k crits.

Equipment:

Fore Weapons: 4x Ba'ul antiproton dual beam banks, MK XV gold with +dmg and +critD modifiers (+60 to +100% crit D), 1x Gravimetric photon torpedo

Deflector: colony deflector

Iconian 3-piece, engines, warp, shield

Aft weapons: antiproton omni-beam, ba'ul omni beam, ba'ul torpedo

Engineering consoles: Hull image refractors, Temporal Anomaly Projector, Conductive RCS accelator, +53% turn rate, Voth power subcore, Ba'ul lobi console. I sometimes replace the voth power subcore with one of the 2 borg lockbox consoles.

Science consoles: Exotic particle field exciter, Aligned Antiproton Shielding

Tactical consoles: 2x Vulnerability locators, 1x Energetic protomater infuser, 1x Vulnerability exploiter

Space traits: adaptive offense, Fragment of AI tech, Duelist fervor, hive defense, accurate, terran targeting systems, Threat assessment algorithms, shield technician, bulkhead technician

Starship traits: automated shield alignment, Calm before the storm, history will remember, supercharged weapons, emergency response teams

Reputation traits: (all rank 2): advanced targeting systems, torpedo pre-fire sequence, tyler's duality, magnified firepower, precision

Active Doffs: 27 of 47 (tac chance to improve critD 20%, intel chance to improve crit H), Kijet (30% chance of 35% shield penetration for all weapons after first hit with Beam overload), na'kul warfare specialist 10% of outgoing damage applied as self heal, fabrication engineer increase duration of reverse polarity, 42 of 47 and 36 of 47 (activating tac or intel reduces cooldown of other, activating engineering or temporal reduces cooldown of other).

Typical playstyle:

Cloak, find target, buff weapons (Power to Weapon 3, OSS, ba'ul clicky, THY3, BO3, kemocite), de-cloak, fire. Hold target in place with chronometric inversion/ gravimetric torpedo gravwell, if move out, use tractor beam. I finding holding the target still to be helpful because every miss = lost dps. When enemy shields drop, apply sensor scan. If my shield start dropping, use tac team or reverse shield polarity 3, intelligence team + evasive maneuvers if I need escape to heal, heal using image refractors or the reactive armor catalyst device. Target dead.

That thing we do here...

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:00 AM PDT

Good morning (or insert other appropriate time of day)!

I'm not that proficient with reddit, so I'm not sure if there's a way to directly embed an image in a reddit post or if it's got to be hosted somewhere else.

Either way, I just hit Endeavor Rank 100 which, given how hard I threw up my hands at this game's grind, feels like a big deal. (And I was going to post the screen clip of having hit Rank 100 when I realized I don't know the answer to the question posed above.)

Have a good Monday, folks!

Don't know what this is.

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:44 AM PDT

I was doing some TF Omega advanced taskforces and I noticed something during the chaos, My ship had a green aura around it and was shooting green lightining that chained to multiple borg ships. I don't know what it was since I'm very new to when it comes to finding specific consoles for builds, i'm pretty sure it wasn;t a buff from another player in the TF since i did another TF straight after with different players. Can anyone here tell me if that green lightining thing is a console or possibly a trait I have?

something simmilar to "preemited covariant shield"

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:09 AM PDT

this shield gets a 10% bonus to side and 50% more shield no rear, is there a shield that enchances the front shield in simmilar way? or any other items/traits that does something like that?

Cute as this is, needs to be a Gif of him rubber banding between Desk, Management and Tribble floor. Seeing as that how most STO players live.

Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:31 PM PDT

I heavily upgraded my internet connection to get STO to play. Only to find the last issue with clean play is.. Perfect World Servers, making me rubber band. On a 24MBPS connection.. No Wonder they charge so much for Zen. Just Trekkie, Fresh Trekkies, people who spent too much to leave and Harcore fans remain.

Where to find the Odyssey cruiser set

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:55 AM PDT

I really want the saucer separation for my odyssey and the Aquarius escort. I have the science variant t6 odyssey. The wiki says it should come with the worker bees universal console but I don't have it. The wiki also says that I can get the consoles if I get the odyssey bundle but the zen store doesn't seem to have it anymore. I've heard from somewhere that the flagship bundle is the same thing but I want to make sure that it has those consoles before I sink that much zen into it.

When do New Ships become 'old'?

Posted: 31 Aug 2020 07:18 AM PDT

Just a question that I couln't find an answer to elsewhere.

I have recently discovered that I have a T6-Discount Coupon in my possession, from an Event. Those don't work on Ships in the C-store that are labeled 'new'. However, I have laid my eyes on the new support carriers. The question is, when do those leave the 'New' Section of the C-store, so my Coupon does apply?

Thanks in andvance.
