That took all of.... 5 months, to happen. I guess his cushy position as Zynga Studios (Cityville/Farmville etc) wasn't as cushy after all.

Here's to hoping it marks the return of Ask Cryptic's and Engineering Reports.

He's been back at Cryptic for a few months already, just not in an Executive position.

I also hope it will mark the return of the Engineering Reports too.

Well once you hit a certain level of Marauding from DOFF missions you can visit the Sirius sector and visit Risa.

Well I did my first Elite STF earlier today.

It was painful, especially since I swear I hit normal and not elite, and therefor was lacking in repair kits. What was sad was that I hit that point where I'd die from any ablility cast on me, so I'd get another injury which further shortened my life expectancy so I'd die sooner next time. At least we managed to clear it dispite my noobery.

Anyway, I was wondering are duel beams good on assault cruisers, or should I stick with 6 beam arrays/2 launchers. No I do not want a RCS on a cruiser, I use those on escorts :D

Well now, this is interesting.

I just started playing recently, and I'm doing one of the very first missions in which you go bust up a bunch of Naussicans that have taken over the Facility Eta XI K.  Part of the stage is missing (see screenshot below).  Any ideas, or should I relay this to the Cryptic team, or what?  I guess I could just drop the mission, but I kinda wanted to finish it.

that's an exploration mission, most of those are randomly generated maps, so they do tend to be buggy, you should report it to cryptic.

I wish it would be only exploration missions that tend to be buggy.  :bitch:

Indeed.

BFG I think you should stick with the arrays especially if you aren't using RCS! I'm using 4 AP, 2 plasma beams and 2 quantum torps.  Good bit of dps, good HY torps and a nice DOT sting from the plasmas.

I have 3 Purple Plasma, 1 Purple AP, a 1 Purple Tetryon, 1 blue Tetryon and 2 Purple Quantum Torpedoes.

I love crafting :D



I plan on adding 1 more AP array and replacing that Blue Tetryon

For weapons on my Exploration Cruiser Retrofit (Galaxy with Saucer Sep) I run four purple quality Phasers and 4 purple quality quantum torpedos.

I love it!

If the opinions of my mother and great-aunt, who play Zynga games like we play MMOs, are any indication, Zynga's sole purpose in life seems to be pissing off its customers.

If you have access to tribble they updated the DS9 and Bajor space zones, they're more Canon now, DS9 space is how it looked during the FE series. Bajor is now a nice Blue/Green planet and the system even has the correct number of moons.

DS9 is slightly smaller, it isn't 1:1 but it is smaller.

Image of Bajor (not mine, taken by the Dev who redesigned the system) its also my new wallpaper

Also is it wrong that I named my Cardassian Galor the "U.S.S. Bajor"?


Edit:

Oo they also added splashing effects to the water at SFA, it also makes your uniform look wet.

I think that either the Bajorans would be offended beyond belief, or laugh out of irony.

Now that's what Bajor is supposed to look like - a world of life, not a desert. Me likey. Is that coming this weekend for part two of the series?

ARGH!!!  I was almost done with the last Undine mission!!!  When you set off the overload, you're supposed to beam back to your ship, but when sector space loaded up, it told me I still had to do the mission!!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :bluescreen:
