RMC code in arc, not sure if it still works and all got claimed already

First for network administrator incompetence

>STO is SAG-affiliated now

>>81656163
Some weird message that doesn't apply to STO. It'll be in the c-store somewhere. Under unlocks or something, I think. And it's account wide.

I've wanted one of these fuckers for about 3 years now.

>>81657891

>tfw i live in europe so instead i'll probably get chump change in zen. probably not even 1k.

>>81658167
Once you start using SAG talent you become a SAG house. At least it means that the VO from Viscous Cycle won't happen again. That shit is fucking rough.

so there's probably no way to change the quality in order to maybe not get so much lag

>>81658801
Well, what's already in will stay in. They just can't use non-union actors going forward. That's probably the main reason they were saying Jeri Ryan was "too expensive" a few months ago. PWE seems to really enjoy STO (and how much money it makes them) and probably bumped their budget to allow for it. But going forward we'll probably have less VO in general.

>>81658512
Eh, I'd take zen over the mouse. Congrats either way dude. Lucky as fuck.

It's clean, and you don't ever have to have it open. I keep it disabled most of the time and only open it for stream giveaways.

>>81659853
its pretty much the only reason why to open it, sto works without ark.

>>81659853
yeah. you can run the game easily with steam version.

get the game off steam, then go into steam folder and save a link to the launcher on your desktop.

skip all wrapper shits, use the game in its clean form.

>>81659790
>not putting arc on a secondary computer just for these situations
How do you even live?

>>81659853
Ain't clean at all.
While I've (as of last night checked about six times over) managed to be sure of: my own computer is squeaky clean, even IE somehow, and yet clicking in the arc browser opens some random adsite instead of what it's supposed to half the time.

There's crap in arc itself, though ARC itself doesn't appear to try to spread or be malware in and of itself.

>>81660131
I've noticed just now that I cannot connect to the account server if I start the game through such a link without at least steam itself running (it works if steam's running, but not if steam and arc are both completely off AND I try to start things through the linke).

>>81660439
well, i dunno then. it works just fine for me, and has been ever since i abandoned arc.

>>81660439
The server's down, fuckhead.

>>81660281
PEBKAC, not caused by ARC.

>>81660567
Well that's one thing they don't warn you about without the launchers first, eh?

Although I had the same problem as >>81660439 last week when steam was down for a few hours. Fine if you're already connected and in-game, though, mind. Just don't shut down the game while everything else is dead around it.

This is the most tedious shit I have ever had to slog through in this game.

>>81684727
You sure you're not getting lanced by the bger ships?

>>81684821
the bigger ships uses torpedoes

whatever the fuck spheres uses, its not targetable. it might be the same torpedo in a non-heavy variant, but would not justify doing the same if not more damage that a gate's invisitorp.

its some sort of tractor beam that doesnt slow down, it just eats hull

>>81684821
Nah I checked the combat log (if there's a way to get what's beyond the scrolling limit back I could post it) and it was specifically a high yield 3 that did about 229k before shields and armor.

Lance hits are about 200k+ with the shields up, and it does state lance in the logs.

>>81685924
So they have a better attack that most cubes

id swear it was a aux power shit.

>>81685924
High Yield plasmas are targetable torpedoes. You just have to shoot it down or FAW/Scatter the general area and it'll never get to you.

>>81686696
>I've never done an STF

>>81686629
Just to specify, the unimatrix ships weren't warped in yet.

These are tactical cubes firing off the invisitorps.

>>81686696
Borg have a habit of firing invisible plasma torpedoes that can one hit just about anything.

>>81686696
No see that's where the problem lies.
These are High Yield IIIs that cannot be targetted. Nor seen.

So you don't know it's coming
You can't target or tab through to it, not that you know it's coming
You can't fire to destroy it, not that you could target it in the first place... not that you know it's coming

You just explode out of nowhere, unsure what the fuck happened because whatever you were shooting continues filling up the log with individual beam and cannon hits and plasma fire ticks.

>>81687113
Just about.
They deal between 220 and 250 thousand kinetic. This gets quartered if your shields are up, of course, leaving you with somewhere around 65 to 75 thousand damage.
All but the tankiest builds of the tankiest ships are basically vaporized in one hit, and that's assuming they were at 100% shield/hull.

My destroyer for example has 52k hull and about 13k shield. A 65k hit may or may not annihilate me if everything's going great, depending on the exact niggling little numbers in the tens and ones columns.

A 66k after quartering? BOOM. Even brace for impact may not be enough against the higher range of those hits.

And these are torpedoes you don't see coming, that you do not know are coming, and have no inkling of timing or moment as to when they hit to work from.

>>81687556
Just use the 2 set Aegis bonus and tank it at 0 damage.

>>81687847
Aegis tanks the first hit but doesn't care what hit it is. If you've taken one hit off a shuttle's single burst of FAW as it came out of a hangar and got annihilated, your aegis is on cooldown.

Generally if you're targeted by something, they'll at least plink you with something before a torpedo gets there.

A good (but far less lethal) example is those little plinks of 12 on your shield you'll occasionally eat in Azure Nebula, that mostly just ensure you aren't too easily killing the tractors on that falchion in mid fight.

>>81688561
>not using EM to ram an incoming deathball aimed at someone else.

>>81688695
You CAN, but why don't you just blast it out of the sky for them instead?

No, you beam them into space and then into and out of the airlock on a repeating 1 second cycle so they eventually explode.

Has anyone ever noticed torpedo tooltips are all wrong or lying?
>Omega Torpedo DPS 4x actual DPS
>Spreads everywhere wrong about number of torps launched, number of targets targeted, and sometimes list an AoE that does not exist, or list none when there is one. No idea if the radii are anywhere near correct when listed, which is not always even when AoE.
>High Yield are just as bad.

That said, anyone know, perhaps from extensive parsing, what ARE the best uses of HY and Spread between... we'll say the following:

>Omega Torpedo
>Hyper Torpedo
>Enhanced Bio-Neural Torpedo
>Fleet Plasma Torpedo
>Gravitic Torpedo
>Rapidfire Transphasic torpedo

As far as I can tell the best use of spread is gravitics, but high yield the numbers are all over. I hear the borg plasma bolt far outdoes any other heavy torpedo, but the tooltip puts it well under the output of a graviton or bio-neural heavy.

>>81711748
Well, omega's been nerfed and re-tooled a ton so I don't expect anything honest from that torp.

Hyper torp is great on spread, good on high yield. Personally recommend spread, but go with what you like.

I don't think the bio-neural is affected by spread or high yield at all. I dunno, I've never seen it split. I've seen tricobalts split to 2-3 torps on spread, but have yet to see bio-neural do same.

Grav torp is goddamned amazing on high yield and great on spread.

Rapidfire transphasic is ok for a free weapo

>>81709291
he used the romulan intel ship, POORLY, and you got to take a look at it and some others. not any better then what you see in the blogs though. and no guardian or dauntless this stream, but probably for the next.

>>81712056
if you think the grav torp is good, you wont believe this new quantum in the delta set. 2k more base damage, and on hit an application of ~1500 rad damage to hull in a 3 range aoe. spread only fires as many torps as HY does with it, but each torp applies the rad damage.

>>81712329
Yeah I haven't had a chance to test it yet, I'm thinking of having one of my characters invest heavily in the delta space gear, haven't decided which. Might be my new 50 vulcan engie, >>81712056 since she's got xindi phasers for now.

Any speculation of what the new lockbox will be? What ship it will be contained

>>81712056
I can guarantee the bio-neural spreads.
It's a very bright, very slightly yellowish green torp, a more solid 'blob' than the usual hazy cloud-like torpedo effects.

High Yield fires a single, bigger blob, but unlike regular heavy torpedoes it acts normally (non-targetable) and explodes into a big green... splatmark?

The spread fires multiple biotorps at multiple ships. No idea how many in either case, but I've logged 8 hits on one cruiser in one blast, though there was nothing else in the firing cone at the time.

>>81712721
Ah I must have been thinking of the bio-neural from the universal console/weapon pack. The rep one I've heard nothing but great things for.

>>81713145

Instead, feed your white doffs to your fleet project meatgrinders or rep fighter projects, and get greens for like 20-50k on the exchange if you absolutely must have a specific type or ability combination (which eventually you will 'do need' when optimizing).

>>81716527
Carriers (of all sorts) have hangars. Their hangar bays are filled with fighters, shuttles, drones, probes or even frigates (for the really big shit like Vo'Quvs).

These are equipment like anything else, and come in blue, purple or ultra-purple varieties.

However, they're a little more powerful and a little more expensive than just some rep beam bank. Getting "advanced" (v.rare) fighters requires a fuckton of dilithium and fleet marks. Getting Elite (the good shit) units is even worse. The Elite Scorpions for example require Tier 5 (maybe before, pretty sure it's 5) romulan reputation, and will cost you fucktons of dilithium, something like 30 white tactical officers, many hundreds of marks and all that shit.

On the other hand, let's take Delta Flyers for example. Each gives you two wings of two.
Regulars have
>Phaser beam array
>Micro photon torpedo launcher
>Tachyon beam I

Elites give you
>Phaser Beam Array
>Transphasic Torpedo Launcher (a proper one)
>Tachyon Beam III

>>81717032
Not enough illogical holes in the middle of the ship.
Go on, scram, shipfu.

>>81717767

>a little more expensive

100,000 credits and like 40,000 dilith aint a little, and you have to get two if you have a "proper" carrier :(

>>81717767
oh, carrier items
I'll probably just dump them on the fleet projects

>>81717767 cont
Same with Scorpions, where going elite adds dual plasma cannons to the 'plasma pulse cannon' it had, and teaches them High Yield I.

Keep in mind this shit all adds up. A single fighter item in a hangar gives you six fighters at a time (launched in wings of 3 every ~20s), EACH of which now has an extra set of dual cannons and a high yield torp ability.

This shit doth add up fast.

>delithium is at 158 and still dropping

>>81727449
just as planned. with dil costing less, they need to buy more zen to get the dil they need.

it's like money is printing itself.

>>81727740
sure, but its good for me i have a million dilithium lying around, most of them on my alts, which probably never will need mk14 gear.

So when it drops below 130 it might be a good point to convert some of it to zen.

>>81728245
yeah. it's good for free players, probably not so good to gold/lifetime and those who buy zen, but great for cryptic.

they need to spend more money to get the dil they need than if dil prices were inflated.

and best thing is that it's not directly caused by cryptic themselves so they can't be blamed, only players are to blame.

Mirror Patrol Escort worth blowing a few hundred k on?

>>81728489
At that price it's practically 0 anyway

>>81728382
well they knew they need another dil sink, since fleets have dried up.

And now its not only limited to people who are in fleets but pretty much any player at end game.

And looking at zone chat what people upgrade its quite funny (mk xi stuff etc)

>>81728728
yeah. once you finish a fleet, the sink is done since all future alts will also go to that fleet.

equipment sink is character specific and can't be carried by others, and will never end.

>>81728489
Yeah it's worth it.

This is because they fucked up the concept of a fleet. You're throwing tons of resources just to build a new store. There's no other point.

They should have added some kind of fleet versus fleet action, invading others fleet resources and defending your own.

>>81729523
Pretty much like The Phantom Pain online component.
It would have made a good excuse to go PvP

>>81729523
This might work if PVP weren't blatantly P2W. Big fleets would just raid smaller fleets over and over and no one would get anywhere. It would be EVE corp war without any of what makes that aspect of EVE good or interesting.

>>81729523
>implying that fleets weren't ever conceived purely as a resource sink
>implying there won't be anymore fleet holdings in addition to gear upgrades
such a shortsighted hoo-man

Next fleet holding is a Talaxian restaurant where customers come in and you have to serve up their orders ala Diner Dash.

>>81730381
if the invasion wasn't a forced thing and give rewards to both sides, it could work.

say, big p2w fleet tries to invade, decline pvp invitation, invasion failed. normal ones do, accept and a fight breaks out.

it could be a two parter, first in space, then if space fight is lost when all defenders die or the attackers bypass them and reach the fleet holding itself, the second part inside the fleet holdings begins, with the attackers beaming into the big empty room in the entrance to the starbase, and defenders trying to stop them from reaching some storeroom in the depths of the starbase.

it'd be timed, reaching the storerooms would end in raider victory, timing out a defender victory.

victors get a bunch of fleet provisions and other shit for their fleet, no matter if they were raiders or defenders, losers have all their fleet facilities disabled for a few days while they get repaired and every participant gets a bunch of injuries.

but that's too much to expect from cryptic.

>>81730858
It'll have a new store where you can buy fleet hypos and personal shields for 80,000 fleet creds and 10,000 dil each

How about this.

Take hugefuck map with resource/defense areas. The fleets join up in alliances to grab as many points as they can versus one or two other alliances. They can build static defenses and pay for npc mercenaries. Every month the winning alliance gets some rewards or buffs that last for the month and the cycle starts anew. This would work better if it were Fed vs Kling vs Rommy but now everyone is friends.

>>81731460
dude i remember this from star wars galaxies it was awesome raiding military bases

>>81731164
That might work, but again, there's absolutely no incentive to compete in any match you can't immediately steamroll, especially if there's a penalty as harsh as being locked out of your fleet facilities for a few days.

It's good that it's optional, but in that case then no one will ever accept a pvp invite from someone they aren't sure they'll beat.

Plus, it doesn't mesh with STO's zero-penalty style. Cryptic aims for casual babbies, and casual babbies don't like being fucked over because their fleet's PVP team didn't win. Hell, even hardcore players won't want that, not when every PVP match is a blowout in favor of one side or the other.

Both sides must be rewarded, and neither side ever punished, for your proposal to work.

>>81731863
ok then. victors get dil, fleet provisions and some of their fleet holdings get extra exp. losers get dil and maybe 20-30% of victor's provisions.

As it is, I'm not even sure why this game has pvp. It's an unbalanced, sloppy mess.

>>81733207
>I'm not even sure why this game has pvp
PVP is essentially a legacy feature back when STO was going to do a lot more with the war aspect between KDF and Feds.

KDF were originally "the PVP faction", and you couldn't even open a KDF character until you had a fed character of level 20+. And back then almost all the missions KDF players had were PVP-related, i.e. the PVP dailies.

Of course having the faction that everyone wanted to use (Fed) be the faction that doesn't give a shit about PVP was a good recipe for no one giving a shit about KDF, so the result was a completely lopsided player balance that to this day has yet to be fixed.

That, and the hardcore KDFs who cared about PVP were perfectly happy with their ships, which were generally superior to fed ships for PVP, so they didn't buy any of the KDF ships that were released, leading to a vicious cycle where Cryptic couldn't afford to put out new stuff for KDF that no one bought that caused KDF to complain and vow never to buy anything again.

So now PVP is just something min-maxers and nutters do. Occasionally new gear and weapons will come out that seems more useful for PVP than PVE, but that's about the only attention sane PVPers can count on getting.

What the fuck is with this fully assimilated undine in Assimilation?

holy shit i hate such people, instead of putting up reasonable quantities, like packs of 3-5 and sell ems for like 3-4 million, they just crash the market with their stupidity.

>>81756401
tempted to crash improved cannon tech prices by offering at 25k each just to see what happens to the rest of the prices. Sure I take a massive loss, but would be interesting to see what happens to the other upgrades.

>>81757859
would need quite massive stocks for that, or else they just buy you out.

a page full of 500x25k would be probably enough, whole sale price would be 12,5 million which is quite to high for most people interested in this upgrades.

What you peobably need to do is go for 70k, then 60k and so on (always with massive quantity)

runabouts help in stopping the probes reaching portals and ships attacking the Kang in STEs because pubbers are brain dead.

Get advanced at the minimum because that's when they get chroniton torps, but imo elite runabouts are worth it. Tractor Beam III, Chronotorps, warp plasma swarming.

Well, there's always been a small but active PvP community in STO, and the consensus among that community has always been that STO PvP has gotten progressively worse. And today it's basically unplayable if you want to have fun.

The channel is invite only for some reason, so I guess you have to PM the OP if you're interested.

>>81765047
They're almost as durable as frigates, are equipped with beam arrays that don't require the derpy AI to try to make attack runs, come with tractor beams(useful offensively and defensively, if a bit random), and at elite they come with so-so warp plasma.

They're no Orion Interceptors, but Runabouts are the best the Federation has for durable point defense and control support.

Well, that sort of goes against the idea of minimal cost of entry. The fleet ships and retrofits etc are objectively better than the rear admiral ships. The idea now is that you'd get a mirror universe ship (or stock) and play with those basic vanilla ships.

An extra bracket for fleet and rep ships/gear would be cool. People can still say in chat what kind of match they want so it's not like someone would take a free stock ship and fly into a match with people running fleet/rep stuff unless he wanted to.

>all those equipment restrictions
No, that's stupid as fuck. I get you want to limit the lobi/C-store wankery, but under no circumstances should anything freely available from an episode ever be banned.

as a fellow pvper, the problem with this is that vanilla got boring years ago, and the steady addition of new stuff kept it interesting.

DR just cornholes pvp though, those that can afford to upgrade everything are at least 50% more powerful then those that cant.

As a person who doesn't PvP, it would take it being vanilla to get me to play. As you said, there's a huge gap between people who've been collecting toys for years and novices.

I guess your opinion of this statement really decides your stance on VPvP.

Personally I love the style of VPvP, and I never got tired of it. The only reason I stopped playing STO is because they moved longer and longer away from the decent balance they had during s1.2 to s2.

I don't even think DR matters, STO PvP died a long time ago. In my opinion, of course.

Anyways, I feel like I've completely hijacked the thread with this VPvP business.

Exactly, powercreep is one of the biggest problems with current pvp

I thought it was the elitist d-bag players that ruin pvp

Can't wait for all the downtime/emergency patches, broken content, and things disappearing because of the upgrade system!

I'm seriously considering just not even going anywhere near the game for a week or two after launch.

That's your prerogative, but there's usually some way to ferengi the fuck out of the game during the beginning of any big event.

>>81796592
Upgrade system is already in the game, they're trying to get all that out of the way before DR goes live.

>>81799924
That is fucking disgusting.
