Star trek online

if i understand correctly, ships in STO are:

Escort : Dps heavy, medium shields, low number of crew

Science vessels: Utility ships, low shields, low number of crew ; mostly more then escort but less then cruiser

Cruiser. Tankers, lots of shields, most crew number : Best for Pve?


Edit_: found a chart of ships: http://www.spidermitch.com/STO/Spide...DShipChart.jpg

We already covered that escorts are dps, cruisers are tanks and science ships are healers/buff/debuff ships. I do want to know however how unbalanced the mission editor rewards can be, because if so, everyone could be VA in rank quite quickly by farming calmdown.

Unfortunatly they just count towards your daily quota as far as i am aware, so the rewards fairly shite. Not sploitable basically - all though not sure about in mission XP for grinding stuff as yet.

[Joe Appleby]

What daily quota? Also, if there is a cap, getting that with one mission alone is fine and unbalanced enough for me. Include some juicy rewards as well for great justice.

Downloading now....if I fly cruiser, will I regret it? And what spec is best for it?

Science: fairly fast, good support skills, low crew, good shields, low hull hp, good damage with beams.

I haven't tried escorts yet but my science ship seems to do a fuck load of DPS (playing a tac officer though)

Cruisers are cool, not overly fun to fly though.

So whos spent some time PvPing? Thinking of rolling a klingon, but to be honest the grind seems fairly large as a Fed, must be REALLY big for a klingon given how little content they have availible?

Still waiting for a Star Trek game that can live up to this:

Actually enjoying this so far. The episode missions seem the best. Not sure if theres really an end game, but I dont expect to play past the 60 day trial anyways. Cruiser is...fun. Just need rape beams and super shields.

[Spang]

It is really easy to make a shit ton of credits crafting BTW.

To be honest i have really had a good time also since playing again, the games fairly basic, but for "turn your brain off" hour, here, hour there, its good fun. Ive just rolled a new escort captain, and have started from the begining, not done a "episode" mission yet, i will give them a look once i am sick of farming the PVE cues.

Not even looked @ crafting yet, but i am so poor in the game i might have to. any tips or guides youve been using?

[Badboy K]

tbh this game doesn't fell like mmo for me after 2 weeks playing, you can pause ground pve, no interaction with other human players, chat chans are like dead....yet to try pvp though

Just run the fleet actions or the pvp war zones, come in first or second place, and sell the purple loot on the exchange. I have 200k credits at level 13.

Scan the anomalies you find in missions. All of them! Sell the stuff on the exchange, see the credits roll in. No need to do real crafting, but if it interests you, it is really easy, just head to memory alpha for that. But if all you need is cash, no need to do that really.

[Fallout]

God damn i just made all my materials into useless shit to get more crafting XP

[Spang]

Once you get past the lower level stuff I was making Purple Phaser Beam Arrays and making a fucking fortune. I made about 2 million credits in under a week.

There is no real guide to follow it is so bloody easy.

[Trindermon]

Just sold all my resources on my newchar, am lvl 11 (LC1), currently up to 350k. some more to sell. Sweet. ;-)

PS the AH is fucking shit, need something like auctioneer for WoW coded in to it, its really terrible ifyou want to put up mass stacks etc.

[Fallout]

Im Commander 5 now and it seems once the decent storylines finish the game turns into a massive grind to level up
