I admit it's a little odd to not get loot at the end of an STF mission these days.

Speaking of STF, I did Hive Onslaught - and my first impression was something akin to the Battle of Endor.

It's a tough old thing that new stf. Having that many tac cubes flying around at once in close quarters is just bonkers especially with all those 1 hit invisitorps still flying around.

The queen isn't that fun either what with her wide variety of cooldownless abilities (think photon PDS, anti matter spread, insta death integral aceton assimilator and a few others) as well as her ability to pull an armek on us , but there is a trick to stop her from doing that.

Might I ask what this "trick" is?

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3723 on:** November 15, 2012, 06:06:18 PM »

Keep one person alive. Keep 1 of the team just slightly out of range of her weapons so if the others do end up wiped, the 5th man can keep the combat going just long enough for the team to respawn and take positions again.

So Christmas Stuff.

This years reward is a Breen Ship, but unlike last year, this ship isn't in a chance box, its guaranteed, as long as you do the Race once a day for 25 days of the 35+ days the event is on. From what I can tell, you don't have to win the race, just participate.

You can also spend Lobi Crystals

Quote

Each day you will be gifted with forty (40) Autographed 8?10 Glossy Pictures of Q upon completing the ?Fastest Game on Ice? (the same race seen during last year?s Winter Event). This means that player captains that can participate in the event 25 times during the 35+ days that the Winter Event will be active, will have earned their way to a FREE Starship!

If, by some stroke of bad luck, you find yourself incapable of participating in the event the required number of times, this does not mean you?ll have missed your chance to earn the Breen Warship! The Lobi Crystal Consortium is selling ?Q?s Appreciation Package? for just 5 Lobi Crystal, which will contain 2-6 of his sought-after Autographs. Although this is a large investment in Lobi Crystals for players seeking to purchase the ship outright, remember that the price can be significantly reduced by simply running the ?Fastest Game on Ice? on a daily basis.

I have a sneaky feeling that boat is going to suck.
That said, I LOVE those jackets!

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3726 on:** December 04, 2012, 06:20:43 PM »

Breen Ship Stats

http://sto.perfectworld.com/blog/?p=777921

Now look at this line

"The Energy Dissipator can be equipped in any console slot on any Breen ship."

Now either that is a grammar error, or they're planning on adding more Breen ships.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3728 on:** December 05, 2012, 04:14:33 PM »

Well, they do have a Lobi Store, and Lockboxes to populate with "new" ships. I say "new", since the Breen Ship for players ALREADY EXISTS ingame as an NPC ship. They recently updated the NPC ship art for the Breen, as they have done in the past for both the Jem Hadar (Fighter) and Cardassian (Galor).

Already people are raising holy hell over the ship stats. An Escort with all of the Cruiser advantages, and none of it's drawbacks. AND a Lt. Cmdr Science slot to boot. As far as I know, it's also the only "Escort" with 8 weapon slots (4 forward, 4 aft). Cruisers tend to have 8 weapons, Escorts at 7, Science at 6.

Good grief..
The boats they've been coming up with lately have been getting more and more over-powered. It won't be long before they'll have to re-jig all the previous (pre s-6) boats just so they can remain even partly competitive.

In fact, I can only see 2 problems with that boat, the first being the relative lack of eng powers and the second being it's pig uglyness

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3730 on:** December 05, 2012, 06:12:05 PM »

Gotta agree with ya Cap. Never liked the looks of Breen ships. Always look forward to blowing them up.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3731 on:** December 06, 2012, 10:55:30 AM »

Branflakes said the wording for "All Breen Ships" was there encase they make future ones.

He was also on tribble yesterday with the Breen Ship. I took some screenshots

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Tuskin/screenshots/?appid=9900

He also showed off ground holo emitters (forgot to take screens sorry)

But there are a couple Jem'hadar, Hirogen and Remans, may have been more, don't remember exactly.

A Romulan Dreadnought (Scimitar), with standard Romulan colors? (as opposed to the original "Reman" look) Intriguing.

I believe the Romulan Textured Scimitar is in the Azure Nebula Rescue mission.

If you notice the other Scimitar I took screens of has extra cannons and stuff coming off it. Looks weird.

I was actually in there looking at the Romulan ships because some of the had been updated for Season 7. I think the base texture for the Romulan Ships were updated.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #3734 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:07:35 PM »

in with the Romulan livery Scimitar was what looked like a Reman liveried D'Deridex type...hmm...if I get my system back, i think i know what I might be working on as a skin...

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3735 on:** December 06, 2012, 11:15:54 PM »

There have always been Reman textured versions of the Romulan ships, been there since launch.

Or around launch, I remember seeing them flying around Sector Space.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #3736 on:** December 07, 2012, 12:56:27 PM »

well, i wouldna known that. I got started on STO rather late, and them my stocker Graphics card couldn't handle it. now that I have some time in with WoW, I think I can handle MMO's. still, I like the idea.

There goes my sub. I find myself playing sto less and less now due to simple boredom with the game. Right now, I literally do nothing but do doffs, fill up the rep projects and the pve race on the winter event. That's it.
Get my breen boat and that's me. More or less done with the game.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3739 on:** December 15, 2012, 01:06:11 PM »

There needs to be more story. That's the big problem. Once you finish the last Borg missions, there's no actual story missions without having to join up with a lot of people for the STFs.

EDIT: Nanopulse Edge Bat'leth GET! Next up will be the coat, and, time permitting, the lirpa as well.
