    TNG but it's an episode of STO

    With so many ships, this game needs something other than Admirality to make use of them

    Posted: 03 May 2021 03:06 AM PDT

    Everyone knows that the ships are the main selling point of the game. But there are so many to choose from at this point, with more to come, that many of them have become obsolete in one way or another. Which is sad, because many designs are really great, but we don't see them often since there are better choices.

    Admirality was a good idea to make use of the ships we already own, but not fly. But that's just "a card game" that only the player can see.

    Personally, I own a lot of ships. I love many designs and I really admire the work many designers have put into a lot of these ships. But despite having A LOT of alts, as well as the option to switch starships if I want to, I honestly see no reason to do so more often than not. Because my current choices or builds are better, for example.

    As such, I really think the game needs another system that would make use of our other docked ships. I know the devs did consider such ideas already, but all we hear is that they would be hard to implement. Such as commanding a squadron of ships etc.

    Personally, I think that the Fleet Support ability should be changed, so it would use one of our own ships (not necessarily with the same equipment). Or something similar to Jem'Hadar Vanguard mechanic, but with our own ships to select and customize.

    Not really sure how this would affect the power creep, but eh... I'd still like to see some of my other ships without having to fly them myself, equip them, pick boff abilities and so on.

    Discuss? What other ideas do you have that would make use of the dry-docked ships players own?

    Honestly why do the NPCs even bother anymore

    Why are the fleet stores so horribly designed?

    Posted: 03 May 2021 12:37 AM PDT

    It's such a strain on the eyes! Trying to scroll through this list of dozens each with minute differences and having to know what each of the tags mean. Why don't they let us search by tags we want and exclude tags we don't want. Or at least add some way for us to refine our search? I keep coming back every few months to look at fleet items only to remember being annoyed with it and just not getting anything the previous time because I didn't feel like taking 30 minutes to slowly scroll, reading each line by line, and trying to remember where in the list the potential ones I liked were.

    Duty Officers in Inventory Overflow

    Posted: 03 May 2021 09:13 AM PDT

    I have a out 24 Common Duty Officer Passengers in my inventory overflow, I dont have an option to move them to inventory and I am sitting at 66/100 duty officers on my roster. Can anyone explain to me what is going on here? Do i just have to destroy them or is there a way to move them into duty officer position or into inventory so that I can sell them off if i am not going to be able to use them?

    Eng, Sci or Tac for Advanced and Elite TFO in PUGs?

    Posted: 03 May 2021 07:17 AM PDT

    PUG = pick up group

    I chose a Tac captain and built him up. Took me several months and it's not complete yet. I am happy with the damage, I use beams guide from dps-league.

    I can do Advanced more or less. I get a lot of aggro and if there is any spike damage I die quickly. For example in the Gravity Kills TFO when the battleships start firing. Seldom do any other captains manage to get aggro off me.

    I have started to notice that in some TFOs, some players don't even leave the starting area, they AFK-farm.

    Is it better I play as a Sci-captain? I see them putting their gravity well, and some other things and keep their distance. I am not sure what all they are doing. But it seems they can do a lot of AOE damage, and the dps is good. Could I put in gravity well, etc, and move out of range and let enemy ships die?

    I know Eng has the lowest and they probably don't get aggro due to low dps.

    tl;dr: Advanced and Elite TFOs in pickup groups is hard, some players afk-farm, and as a tac-captain I get a lot of aggro and die. Is it better to use a sci build for dps and aggro management and to play in PUGs?

    edit: It seems I have a few people worked up with tactical or sci "captain". I am aware that whatever I chose, I can choose another ship and build. I am asking if it is worth investing in another build so I can basically go it alone(not rely on others for tanking and dps) for Advanced TFO maps.

    [PS4] Why does Seeker Drone IV (Very Rare) have the same stats as Seeker Drone V (Ultra Rare) ?

    Cant reassign underperforming officers?

    Posted: 03 May 2021 04:31 AM PDT

    So my ship roster says I have over 200 uncommon duty officers. But when I try to trade some in for a rare only 2, that's right I TWO out of TWO HUNDRED, show up. What's up with that???

    where has all the voice acting gone from the game on ps4?

    Posted: 03 May 2021 04:06 AM PDT

    was playing through the gamma arc and all the voice work on quark's Lucky Seven has gone (arguably the best mission in game)

    Am I behind in this?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 06:33 PM PDT

    Huge thanks to customer support!

    Posted: 02 May 2021 11:28 AM PDT

    So, I bought the Eleventh anniversary bundle and went to claim a ship with one of my coupons but, for some reason, it totally glitched and gave me a totally different ship. If I recall I purchased a Sech but received a Shamsir.

    Anyway, I filed a ticket and after a while of discussing the issue and waiting to see if it was sorted, the lovely G.M./ the team finally issued me with a new coupon and an apology. Additionally, the Shamsir has remained unlocked on my account.

    It's above and beyond what I imagined and I am incredibly grateful.

    Thanks,

    Red Alert. Less time?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 07:02 PM PDT

    I swear I missed like one day of the red alert and I finally unlock it tomorrow which means I only had like one other day as padding. This seems more stringent than past things. Were there really only 2 days of wiggle room?

    The New High Chancellor is a forgone conclusion, isn't it?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 11:16 AM PDT

    I've seen mad gods and bad gods and would be gods.

    And Gowron really doesn't count amongst any of them.

    And J'mpok is actually worse than Gowron.

    Martok is the heir of Kahless. My mek'leth to these pretenders.

    Easy and cheap space build?

    Posted: 02 May 2021 05:23 PM PDT

    I've been playing for years but always just put on gear I thought seemed cool based on reading the stats. But I don't know specifics about sto stats. And a lot of the posts Ive read are complicated stats.

    I'm sure this is a common or big question.

    Is there a simple, easy or cheap tank or dps space gear or weapons people recommend? Or what modifiers or energy types to use?
