Having tons of variety of choice does not equal imbalance. Regardless of what choices you can pick from, at worst you only have a couple of special abilites on top of what an undeveloped 50 may have. Having a +%3 boost in everything conceivable statwise via having dozens of passive traits unlocked via the old reputation system stacks up to be an incredible advantage in a grind-based endgame. To me it seems similar to modifiers on weapons. Before specializations captains were "rare" with several modifiers, but now you can be "ultra-rare" with one more modifier of an interesting variety that might give you a slight edge, like the unique modifiers on Fleet weapons for example.

Pilot Specialization tree + Defiant

feels like I'm actually flying a defiant, zipping, turning, dodging. One of the procs you weave back and forth, kind of like at the beginning of First Contact when the defiant attacks the cube and is dodging the beams.

Until main power gets knocked offline, you lose shields and your weapons are gone?

I'll record a video this weekend of it. I think it looks cool.

I'm not sure if maybe I'm not seeing it, but is this just ship upgrades, or ground ones too?

it takes less upgrades to upgrade Ground Stuff, so if you use the ground gear with the accelerator that is about 1 item.

Thomas made some Mission Ops screens for Voyager's bridge during his free time. He also made screens for the Tactical and Ops stations, not pictured. I think the hand level LCARS screens are new as well.

Now this looks like the bridge we remember, I think cryptic have finally got the message that re-using LCARS assets on things shown on TV is a bad thing to do

This was done in the artists free time, AFAIK it wasn't requested by the dev team.

... guess im just overly optimistic then

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #5312 on:** September 27, 2014, 03:03:32 PM »

I'm sure if they had a budget they would have asked. But the lack of more unique LCARS on the ship is because of the budget.

Saw this on reddit Some people are just made of Dilithium/Zen/EC

Joshmaul · « **Reply #5315 on:** September 29, 2014, 05:05:09 PM »

People like that are a main reason I'm glad I don't PvP.

Phoenix Bondi · « **Reply #5316 on:** September 30, 2014, 05:25:03 PM »

My main setup is just like that, all mark13 ultra's :p

BarnesSFC · « **Reply #5317 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:06:07 PM »

Seems more like a waste to me. I'm personally saving everything to DR for chance of Gold Mk XIV instead.

Phoenix Bondi · « **Reply #5318 on:** October 01, 2014, 06:21:17 AM »

u still need to get to 13 ultra / 14 ultra before 14 gold

If you get Epic now, it stays Epic when you go up in Rank. So it really isn't a waste.
