    The 22nd Century Spatial Torpedo, it should have stayed in the 22nd Century.

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 06:29 AM PST

    I was extremely excited when I learned that we would be getting the 22nd Century Enterprising Ingenuity set. I love missile weapons and the Spatial Torpedo looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, testing has shown it to have terrible DPS, so bad as to make it a detriment to any build it's placed in. The Kentari Mass Produced Missiles not only do considerably more damage but have a 2.5 second cool down, only 0.5 seconds slower then the Spatial Torpedo.

    I have compared the Spatial Torpedo, the Kentari Mass Produced Missiles, and the Wide-Arc Quantum Torpedo as a control (I wanted to compare it to another wide-arc torpedo).

    Using the Swarmer Matrix, Kemocite I, one UR Xindi Projectile Weapon Specialist 20% +5% Kinetic Damage DOFF, Torpedo Spread II, Ordinance Accelerator, Point Defense Bombardment Warhead. Crit was 41.3%, Promise of Ferocity, Supercharged Weapons, Etwined Tactical Matrices, Resonating Payload, Omega Kinectic Shearing, and Magnified Fire Power. Other traits, consoles, and BOFF abilities do not affect torpedo damage, either directly or through rebuffs on the target.

    Totals have been rounded to the nearest 100,000. Tests were conducted on the "Wanted" patrol on Elite Difficulty. Damage includes damage from Torpedo Spread I and II, normal attacks, Kinetic Shearing, and Kemocite.

    Spatial Torpedo 900,000

    Kentari Mass Produced Missiles 3,100,000

    Wide-Arc Quantum Torpedo 4,100,000

    The Spatial Torpedo is considerably lower than the other options, even the other missile system. I also tried running the Spatial Torpedo with Ceaseless Momentum, the resulting increase in DPS was only 200,000 higher. Sadly, the Spatial Torpedo is substantially inferior to the closest comparable weapon, the Kentari Missiles. The Spatial Torpedo needs a substantial boost to be competitive with a slingshot.

    Edits. Spelling and grammar.

    Note. All three weapons were MK VX Epic, rerolled for CrtD.

    Tips for managing Duty Officers?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 01:58 AM PST

    Wife and I got past level 11 and started on Duty Officers. Fun system to do in the background of stuff.

    That being said, I feel like we probably are not doing it right (though we did pick up all the officers from Academy, and we have gotten quite a few more DOFFs by level 25).

    Currently, we basically just open up the Duty Officer Menu, start at Current Map, then Personal, then check on each department head to see their assignments... And assign as we go, favoring rare missions (or ones that reward more DOFFs and XP).

    It seems like quite a hassle though, and it's not clear to me what determines what appears in Current Map and Personal tabs.

    And then I discovered that when you visit your ship interior, there are even more assignments you can pick up, but you have to launch them there (they do not stick around in the Personal tab once you leave the ship interior).

    I'm fine continuing to muddle through, but I'm guessing there is a more deliberate and efficient way of doing it.

    Also, I've seen several in game tips referring to a "Shipboard" tab but I've never seen anything of that name. Just a "Shipboard reset" counter but I don't know what that means.

    Thanks in advance for help.

    winter event currency

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:44 AM PST

    Is it worth farming regular currency such as EC, dilithium, etc. for the winter event, or will it be using something "special" to buy stuff?

    How often are you disconnected on map transfer as part of a team?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 06:26 AM PST

    Based on the feedback from my previous post regarding disconnects during map transfer, I thought it may be useful to get a snapshot of the current situation. So if your game throws you back to the login screen when joining a map as part of a team, for example, a TFO or running a patrol, please answer below.

    Remember, only answer based on being part of a team. A session for this example is the time from beginning to play STO to when you logout for the day.

    This is for PC only.

    Thanks for taking part.

    I know the alliance vanity shield kinda sucks, but It actually looks really good on the Conny refit. (U.S.S. McCoy, Constitution-class pictured)

    Chimera-class only for Lifetime subscribers?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 03:31 AM PST

    So I really like the Chimera-class/Manticore-class and have been looking into unlocking it. However I read that you can only obtain it if you're a lifetime sub or 1000 day veteran. Is this true or can it be obtained elsewhere?

    Time to open those up to account-unlock via Mudd (C-store would be a miracle) but not limited to strictly faction so any toon can claim two ships: Fed- Fed & Rom ships; KDF- Klink & ROM ships; Rom/Jem- Rom & faction-aligned ship. Make 2020 Merry Again.

    Wow nobody said carriers were so much fun!

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:45 PM PST

    Altho being broke as hell I managed to snag a mirror carrier for my klingon just as he hit 40 and oh boy is it amusing. Replaced the pets it came with bird of prey escorts and they are OP. I know I barely scratched the surface on what they can do but anyone got any tips? I'm built entirely for defense as an engineer. Flying tank. despite the horrible turning rate I don't mind at all. if I didn't know to use wide angle beams and turrets I'd have a rougher time. I could have gotten the free one but the mirror one has more eng slots. Haven't chosen the free one yet , most likely a battle cruiser

    Honor guard outfit

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 09:48 PM PST

    Hey everyone,

    So I recently unlocked the full honor guard ground set. I was wondering what the colors are used in the game for the NPCs.

    BTW this is my first post on r/sto.

    Khitomer Alliance Vanity Shield?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 03:36 AM PST

    So I saw that this used to be available for free on the zen shop. Is it still available or is it a one time only limited time sort of thing and if I want it and the uniform I gotta pay lots of ec on the exchange for it?

    BOFFs to Increase DPS?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 01:38 PM PST

    I never put much effort into my BOFFs other than their abilities. I have been at endgame for awhile and I was wondering if there are by BOFFs that will increase DPS?

    I am a Tactical Federation Human running a Phaser Beam Boat with the Legendary Command Dreadnought Cruiser.

    All my current BOFFs have traits related to ground.

    Thanks.

    T6 ships are unavailable?

    T6 ships are unavailable?

    --- E D I T : S O L V E D ---

    So, after buying the Mirror universe bundle for my birthday, it seems the only t6 ships I can see in the "Acquire ships" store are the Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser and the Legendary Light Intel Warbird, both of which are only obtainable through bundles. Anyone know what's causing this?
