Looking for a little help guys, just started playing the game again and am getting back into it
The only thing is i suck at the ground missions
I am a tactical officer Admiral lower half and really struggle in ground combat esp against the borg
Thanks

Open up your ships "Replicator", and replicate multiple "Frequency Modulators" for yourself, and your away team. Borg since season 4, are able to adapt to weapons fire (as they should have all along), and to counteract this adaption, you get a Frequency Modulator. You as player have to add it as a slotted ability in your ability bar, while your bridge officers will automatically remodulate weapons as needed on their own, as long as the device is equipped on them.

Security Escorts, Turrets etc all have innate remodulation capabilities, with the higher ranked version of these abilities, capable of remodulating more frequently/often. Rank 2 remodulates more often than Rank 1, and Rank 3 remodulates more often than Rank 2.

Speaking of Borg... I think I'll just leave these here...

The first image has led to some confusion, some people say the oblong ship is replacing the 'minisphere' probe, others say it's a new class of Borg ship. Some of you may recognise it as the 'Interceptor' from the Star Trek: Armada duo.

The Diamond was found by someone in the Foundry, thoughts are, its not finished, or its... huge... (I say this because the textures make it look like it's far away)

Dang Voyager pulled off some crazy BS in its day...

Well the Borg don't use shields, and they were not expecting Voyager to pull that shit.

Anyways the new Borg textures are on the tribble test server.

The borg use shields! What do you think they do? Just let the armor take the pounding (that too) but they don't have bubble shielding but some kind of well, yeah some kind of ds9 shielding

Reference to borg using shielding? Watch first contact, tng, voy etc

Watch it yourself... no shield in sight:

We know the Borg have "personal shields" and that they can adapt both their personal shields, and their ships hull to virtually any type of weaponry, if given enough time.

I can't recall a single instance in which we actually see Borg ships with shields.

Does that mean no ships had shields during the Dominion War? Just because you can't see it, doesnt mean it's not there; anyhow, in First Contact, how do you know the large Starfleet force hadn't already taken down the Cubes shields?

Killallewoks · « **Reply #2452 on:** August 07, 2011, 05:19:41 PM »

To be honest when we see the Borg for the first time the Ent-D tore through the cubes hull quite easily before they adapted.

This in my opinion is a great indicator that they don't use shields. In fact, even in Dark Frontier (Voyager 2-parter), the Queen herself says that they have adapted their HULL to withstand the enemy weapons fire. Why adapt the hull if you have shields? Unless ofcourse, you don't have/need shields?

guys this whole convo of borg ships and shields and everything could really be for another thread...
please keep this thread for the game itself...

So the tenative schedule for releases was unveiled in this month's Ask Cryptic, and the mouth-foaming has begun anew:

Borg Sector Space Invasions (Aug 25)
Borg Ground Invasion Repeatable Event (Sep 22)
Borg STF Updates (new loot, new group finder tool) (Sep 22)
New Event Calendar and Daily Event Schedule (Sep 22)
New Lore Quests (Sep 22)
Klingon Academy Zone (Sep 22)
Episode Progression update (re-leveling nearly all episodes + new Mission Journal UI) (Sep 22)
Duty Officer System and Assignments (Oct 20)
Feature Episode Series 4 ready to start (Oct 22)

Which means it'll have been eight months between Feature Episode Series 3 and 4. And the "content drought" continues. I'm finding it irksome myself, but I'm not screaming, ranting and raving, threatening to quit, etc.

Opinions?

Considering I play casually and have only recently hit Rear Admiral Lower Half, it's not bothering me.

shade_30 · « **Reply #2457 on:** August 15, 2011, 07:30:51 AM »

Anyone else have this bug while on the bridge?
Only three of my officers show up for some reason, one of each kind (I can't seem to change this in any way). Not only that, those three are cloned to fit the positions of all crew members supposed to be on the bridge, resulting in a rather... odd and bland bridge.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #2458 on:** August 15, 2011, 08:07:39 AM »

I had this happen to me the other day...very strange, never happened before.
