Wait, so you have to use every single skill point to get the slipstream drive???

Re-asking this. I need to know. I currently have an uneven amount of skill points and if I need to spend every skill point in order to gain the slipsteam drive, then I have no idea what to do about that.

Also, the Explosive Party Popper that I got from Q, can it be used multiple times?

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #2802 on:** January 29, 2012, 02:59:22 AM »

yeah, the party popper can be used as many times as you want, and it has random animations, Tribbles, Smoke, scanner beams, fireworks, all sorts of stuff.

Yes you do, every single skill point.

But I'm currently sitting at 1350 and I'm at Rear Admiral, Upper Half(46). How do I get rid of the 50?

I've already answered this...

I had that as well, but luckily I had two respec tokens available. Check one of the guys at the center of ESD.

It makes no sense to make you have to use up all of your skill points. If you reach Vice Admiral, they should just give you the damn ability.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #2807 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:45:10 AM »

I'd just make it a reward/bonus ability for maxing out certain skills (drive coils etc)

Don't you have to spend all your skillpoints to reach Vice Admiral now?

Anyway, you don't NEED Slipstream, it doesn't affect combat, so making it a perk to those who skill most efficiently sounds a good idea to me.

Lionus · « **Reply #2809 on:** January 30, 2012, 12:33:08 PM »

Yeah, but it DOES shorten travel time quite a bit. I think I shall respec my vice admiral and turn my Excelsior refit into beamboat..

majormagna · « **Reply #2810 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:40:39 PM »

True, but at least it's not even semi realistic travel length, or it'd take days to get anywhere.

Lionus · « **Reply #2811 on:** January 30, 2012, 03:58:00 PM »

Well, there's still transwarp.. as long as we keep the Scots out of the engineering

captain_obvious · « **Reply #2812 on:** January 30, 2012, 04:08:31 PM »

I'm now a VA with slipstream (I had just 50 points left

) but I haven't gotten myself any transwarp capability except back to spacedock.

I was doing the tour the galaxy event earlier today. I was on course to do a 25 minute run when 15 mins in I..
Needed a dump. Reaaaaly badly. It was a bad one, and I ended up missing out the borg and 8472 sectors

Indeed.

It was almost painful. It brings to mind the evacuation of the Ent-D

captain_obvious · « **Reply #2815 on:** January 31, 2012, 12:17:30 PM »

maintenance has been extended another hour.
Why did I get the feeling this would happen?

majormagna · « **Reply #2816 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:31:40 PM »

At least they're fixing things...

I don't see why people are so annoyed with ALMOST daily downtime, games such as EVE have daily downtime, and they don't release bugfixes as regularly as STO (And there are just as many bugs).

Bugfixes are great no matter how annoying.

EDIT

But now I'm lagging like there's not going to be a tomorrow. Simply unplayable for now. Guess I'm back to skyrim or something

Damn you AOL! stop routing through shitty servers in east germany!

edit 2

Just played my first go on the Crystalline entity. It did not go well. 15 of us hitting it with beams but 5 mine, torp and general aoe spamming the place meant that even after an hour we didn't get it below 50%

I just gave up and f*cked them off! Bloody idiots cocking it all up for the rest of us!

If anyone has tribble acess and wants a sneak peak at the Odyssey model, it is in the Foundry ship costume editor, along with a Worker Bee model.

Edit:

0-o the Odyssey is also docked in ESD if you head to Requisitions

There was an instance that lasted over two days! :O

I've been trying the Crystalline Entity a good few times recently, but noobish people who don't listen to those who know what they're doing inevitably ruin it for the rest.
