That's my point RIGHT THERE. Fluff! Not content! The only tips in its favor appear to be that they're STF rewards, or at least it sounds like they'd be STF rewards.

I'd hardly call that fluff. Those sets are going to be amazing statswise, and come with weapons and set effects. AKA making STF's worth doing.

AKA, turning the game into a proper gear-grind. Which might not be a good thing. I for one like being able to get my ship/captain geared up pretty nicely simply by doing the crafting. My only complaint when it comes to crafting, is that it's too easy to max it out, and there's not a whole lot of variety for various playstyles. Need more craftable gear that can be used for "tanking" or survivability in both PVE and PVP.

I'd care more if I hadn't cancelled my subscription due to being job-less.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2566 on:** December 01, 2011, 05:57:47 PM »

it will be free in January.

I dunno if it's a bug or whether I'm missing something.

I started (another) new character for Season 5, and got up to Lt Cmdr 1 and got my promotion and new ship. I have over 1,000 skillpoints to spend, yet the Lt Cmdr skills are still greyed out.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2568 on:** December 02, 2011, 04:03:30 PM »

Maybe you have not filled in enough points in the lower skills.

majormagna · « **Reply #2569 on:** December 03, 2011, 09:49:33 AM »

Yeah, turns out that was the issue, but the way STO used to work is, you couldn't rank up without spending enough skillpoints, now you rank up when you earn enough.

new Dev post which ties into the next featured episode series

Plus it looks like both factions may get a Flyable Dominion fighter

Hm, interesting; doesn't the Bajoran Wormhole emit high neutrino levels?

The ships are stated to be decades out of date, but time travel seems less likely, as there is no mention of chroniton particles...

Joshmaul · « **Reply #2576 on:** December 08, 2011, 07:03:34 AM »

My understanding was that the new feature episode series was supposed to make the new Ent-F ship available.

Supposedly, the new feature episodes have to do with the disappearance of the Dominion fleet inside the wormhole. The ships might not have time-travelled, but rather ended up in the "realm" of the prophets. And now the prophets might be returning the ships to the Alpha Quadrant (without any crews aboard).

1DeadlySAMURAI · « **Reply #2578 on:** December 08, 2011, 07:19:03 AM »

My first thought was also about the disappearing Dominion fleet.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2579 on:** December 08, 2011, 12:03:55 PM »

That is what it is about exactly Darkthunder. STOked had a chance to visit Cryptic for their 100th episode and they got a sneak peak of the next series, a cut-scene from it of the player talking to the prophets (In the form of people you've met before, just like in DS9) that basically outlines the plot.

The Prophets couldn't remove the fleet from reality, they had to exist, so they transported them to the future.
