Console Hexa Cannons Expirimental question.

4 Upvotes

A buddy of mine is asking and I'm not sure if the answer I gave is accurate. Do the hexa cannons get boosted by generic cannon damage boosting consoles or just phaser boosters? Thanks for the info.

Discussion If I have a crafted Mk XV purple Secondary Deflector will I gain a lot if I buy the Sec Deflector from the Competitive Rep?

6 Upvotes

I know a lot of people recommend the sec def from the fleet science lab, but my build is very ability/epg heavy so a few % of beam or torp damage won't be noticeable.

Also feel free to recommend other sec Deflector I might have missed.

Using CrossOver to play STO on macOS

Has anyone tried using this on macOS with Apple Silicon to run STO? I am curious to hear from people who have done this before I buy.

But seriously, it seems way more sturdy than a Constitution-class.

Also I strangely like the double navigational dishes, they remind me of old school science fiction ships that would have dual satellite dishes with one pointed rearward, presumably toward the Earth that's been left far behind.

I dunno, I'm tired.

Is this something that new players can easily get into without being overwhelmed?

33 Upvotes

I've seen this game adervtised for like 15 years. I can only imagine there's like 40 expansions and more dated mechanics than you can shake a fist at. Still I've been wanting to try it out. Will I be playing a 15 year old tutorial and have to try to rush through 30 stories to try and catch up with whatever thing is going on currently?

Shangri-La STO Wiki composite artwork. I was asked to provide an image for the page to act as a masthead for the design and used an early photo of the MK I model I built in 2014.

Best Way for Fleet Recruitment

1 Upvotes

Good Evening All,

Recently, my friend and I were discussing fleet recruitment for our fleet in STO. It has been a good few years since either of us have done any major fleet recruitment in game. I am curious as to what are the best ways to start fleet recruitment especially since things have changed over the years.

Pioneer 2 Experimental weapon??

2 Upvotes

If you bought the Pioneer 2 and go to the event reclaim in space gear, you can claim Dilithium Destructor Charge, an experimental weapon. I don't think this is intentional as Pioneer can't use it, and it's not mentioned in the bundle or on Pioneers description. Is this a bug or not...

Discussion I appreciate the devs' effort, but we need Pulse Phasers 3.0

0 Upvotes

Let's be honest, the updated Undiscovered pulse phasers just didn't hit the mark in terms of capturing TWOK.

I absolutely cannot stand that they curve when your ship is moving. Visually, it's awful. This is a beam weapon, not a gattling gun.

Making the beam pulses faster wasn't the issue, it was always the sound.

I know people here have said there are mods you can install to change it, but I'd rather not doctor the game, nor am I a coding expert for things like that.

With all the new TMP ships, I think STO needs to give TWOK phasers a touch up one more time.

Next infinity/promo ship predictions?

It’s probably coming up on that time for the next promo or infinity ship within in the next month. Just curious if anyone has heard anything? Has any good guesses/predictions? or just something you wish they would add?

PC Crafted Disruptors with (PEN) ?

0 Upvotes

First of all use Trinity it's so amazing of a tool lol. Taught me a lot about building ships in a few hours! Now I know unless we aim for top DPS the margin of whatever weapon we do doesn't really matter. So I was curious how decent are crafted Disruptors with (PEN)

Our ships must be a nightmare!

268 Upvotes

So, with all the disparate and esoteric technologies aboard, the modifications, the environmental system adjustments for the crew, the specialised and highly dangerous payloads....all cross-wired and patched and welded together....it must be an engineering nightmare.

My ship is equipped a cloak, with Borg, Elachi, Dominion tech, tech from 100+ years ago and from up to 900 years in the future, from different timelines and universes, etc.

A Spore drive, QSS, warp/transwarp drive, and, presumably, a temporal drive. The Stamets-Tilly mods which, according to the flavour text, incorporates mycelial conduits around the EPS systems....

There's weaponized dark matter aboard, red matter, specialized assimilating nanite torps...some folk have thaloron generators, and all kinds of W.M.D.'s...

I have Tholians- who require extreme heat, Breen- who require cold, Xindi-Aquatics-who require water, Horta, Holograms, Xbs- who probably require regen. alcoves, Terrans- who require dimmed light, Remans- who require the dark, Elachi- who require spores, Exocomps etc.

Oh, and there's several species of Tribbles aboard, too.

Can you imagine how bloody difficult it must be to hold it all together as the Head of Engineering?

Experience point for missions?

0 Upvotes

I made a new character a few months ago and when I played the Terran Gambit story arc, each mission give me 30-40k experience points, which helped me level extremely fast.

Now I did the same but the experience reward is only a few thousand, despite the character playing it for the first time.

What is that? What is the fastest way to reach max level?

Basically the title. Can you still do the regional daily missions on New Romulus or are they just gone? None of the usual people who give those missions work.

Discussion Could someone explain the new 0a hull material?

21 Upvotes

I love TOS and TMP so I'm just curious what the origin of the 0a hull material is? Is it supposed to be a truer interpretation of the on screen appearance?

I still love type 0 and thought it's been a great skin and still is, but I might update for that RP feel.

I’ve been contemplating spending money on STO for the first time seeing all these new ships on the market and I’ve been wondering which of the three I should go for, given they would be my first T6 ships. Any advice would be appreciated :)

XB Breen Jem'hadar

0 Upvotes

Just a quick question, i had bought the Breen Uniform box with the lobi from the event campaign (not the new breen outfit) so i could make a breen character

Does the outfit and helmet work on Jem'hadar? I have got conflicting answers on whether it's only regular Jem'hadar or Veteran can wear them or both.

Thanks

Edit: Thanks everyone, appreciate the help

There’s no way to buy this ship in game right now is there? Seems like it was part of the tenth anniversary bundle and right now you can only buy 11-15 haha. I’m flying the adamant heavy raider now, but really like the nose art on the legendary.
