    Isn't Nature beautiful? I love seeing baby birds if prey leave the nest and flap their cute little wings for the first time!

    Best story, Best character growth, Tal Shiar clothing ftw, capes, access to either fed or KDF ships (XBOX), and easily the best BOFF set up options for space and ground.

    Crossfaction Flying comes to Console

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 09:06 AM PST

    Just needed to show off a nice shot of my Legendary Ambassador Class. Always loved this ship a lot.

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:02 PM PST

    I opened 12k Infinity LB on Tribble. Here are the Results.

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 01:48 PM PST

    Edit: Thanks for the awards all!

    My Video on the openings

    Spreadsheet with all the data.

    Video - Playlist of Raw Opening Footage

    Split the 12k into 6 opening cycles. First 4 were 1500 per, then did ~3k on last 2 as I realized I may have just enough inventory space for it. There spreadsheet contains a breakdown for each individual lot opened.

    Simplified Pie Chart - Updated to correct for 33x 2x Salvaged Tech Drops

    Purpose

    My intent with this large opening sample was too gain some insight into the drop rates of various items from the Infinity Lockbox.

    I went with 12,000 as that was the previous sample size used back in 2014 by others testing some of the original LB per the STO wiki.

    Findings

    The "grand prize" drop rate is consistent with what it was 7 years ago with previous test. On average, I got a ship once every 240 boxes (a 0.417% drop rate). However, it is important to note that a ship is not guaranteed every 240 boxes. As you can see in the raw opening footage, I had several periods of no ships dropping for hundreds of boxes.

    Why did I open on Tribble?

    I copied over 100-200 keys at a time a ton to test on Tribble. Like most here, I can't afford to dump $12k on STO keys. Based on the drop rates seen here, I'm confident that there is no difference in the drop rate between Tribble or Holodeck with regards to lock boxes.

    You can look at the existing data on the STO wiki to see that the Grand Prize drop rate aligns with the data from many of the original LB. Every LB from Cardassian to Xindi-Amphibious has drop rate info from 12k Opening samples, and that data all lines up with what I found here.

    Is there a "Light Cruiser" partner to the Ambassador class?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:44 AM PST

    Like the Constitution Refit had the Miranda, the Excelsior had the Centaur, the Galaxy had the Nebula class ect... Is there a light cruiser counterpart to the Ambassador?

    The Legendary B'Rel should have had the Vanguard/wingman mechanic.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 04:29 AM PST

    Basically title. Something that just occured to me. The Vanguard Heavy Raider already mimics the feel of having a squadron to yourself, so why not BoPs? IIRC Birds-of-Prey were frequently used in squadrons anyway. It would have been a good way to make it feel more "legendary" without really needing to overly buff the ship's power.

    They should let us buy the ablity to have wingmen to any T6 ship.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 06:18 AM PST

    Like for example, you upgrade say the T6 Galaxy, it now has 2 slots for wingmen. So then, you can select 2 T6 active ships that you have, and they go into that slot. And bam! You have wingmen ships that are yours, and any ship can have them!

    Which ship (s) to unlock for a F2P player?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:25 AM PST

    I need to tell you my story of playing this game. I have started it at launched and have played it on and off. Now as a F2P player I only have unlocked the following T6 ships.

    A.F.S Khitomer

    Temer

    Bird of Prey for the KDF recruit. Still not sure if hitting level 65 with the recruit after the anniversary event will still unlock cross fraction ship flying or not. But still it will be fun to do anyway.

    Events that unlock either T6 ships or other goodies like the KIDD drones are easy to do. Just play the event and you will unlock it.

    ​

    But this one is different, this has three choices of T6 ship (s) to unlock. I don't count option 2 because I don't think that they can unlock a T6 ship for the whole account. So options one and three are the only ones I am interested in.

    ​

    With the above mentioned unlocked ships what would you suggest that I choose as the T6 ship (s), if option 3, to unlock. Is it promo, infinity lockbox or 2 from the c-store.

    Also can someone tell me how to mark a question answered here on reddit since I don't know how to do that. That is if I do have that ability.

    It's Been Eleven Years - We Need More Storage Options

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 10:27 AM PST

    TLDR: Many of us need more storage and storage options.

    As this game continues to age and grow, our storage options need to grow with it. Like all game companies, Cryptic needs revenue and "cheeks in seats" which ultimately equates to revenue. To keep us playing and buying, we're offered items directly for sale and event rewards - new ships, pets, starship and ground weapons, armor, consoles, kits and modules, comm codes, hoverboards and floaters, commodities, ship modules, upgrade tokens, mining claims, elite reputation marks, lobi, discount coupons, DOFFS and BOFFS and more. At some point, players run out of room. You can't buy any addition BOFF or DOFF slots. No more ship slots or bank space.

    When you finally have no more room, why buy or earn the next pet, weapon or BOFF when it just means I have to get rid of the fun one you sold or rewarded me with last month? What's the point? In my case, I'd love to spend time collecting more pets but I don't bother because I don't want to get rid of other things to make room.

    Ideally, we'd be able to continue to purchase more storage. I'm not coder (so forgive me if I'm wrong) but it's my understanding that storage such as inventory slots are kept in active memory all the time, so adding to those can slow the game. Items such as bank or ship slots, which are only loaded on demand, only take up server storage (AFAIK). I can't imagine this small amount of ones and zeroes isn't offset by what we pay for the storage. So, ideally, we'd simply be allowed to buy more bank and ship slots.

    If that really isn't practical for some reason, it would at least be nice to be able to have more options. People have been asking to be able to "re-box" BOFF for some time. If my BOFF slots are maxxed, the option to send some on "shore leave" and rotate new ones in without losing the old would be welcome.

    Perhaps a separate tab for pets, like we have for resources.

    Or, change all character bound items to account bound so I could share ship equipment and weapon sets with other characters.

    Ultimately, more options would be helpful. For those of us who've been playing for years, it's not fun to have to weigh the joy of earning Molor's Flaming Sword against needing to throw something else away that we also enjoy.

    You could say that I really get annoyed by this guy, so I gave him a makeover since I can't dismiss him.

    Experimental weapons for a space Barbie

    Posted: 01 Mar 2021 02:18 AM PST

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a website or image showing all or most of the experimental weapons in action?

    I only have the Experimental Hyperexcited Ion Stream Projector, Experimental Railgun and Experimental Repulsor Blaster.

    Curious about other visual options. I know there are lots of differing opinions on the effectiveness of all the different weapons but I'm not into min/max so don't mind too much.

    However, I did hear that they can be a pain on weapons heavy ships as they draw from your weapons capacitor, is this true?

    Thanks,

    What "thing" did you think you really wanted, but have stopped using after you got it?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 06:58 PM PST

    My most recent example is the disco klingon species. I've been waiting for them to release it for a couple of years now, and have already stopped playing my recruit. Sad, I know. But just curious what "thing" other folks have thought they really wanted, but stopped using after you got it?
