Mirror invasion grindathron event. Activte the EGH!

Mirror Hakeev! I guess it makes sense that because normal Hakeev is extra-douchey, Mirror Hakeev is extra-nice and heals everybody. Where's Mirror Brobisek?

Aren't all the Fleet XII Tac kits good Norfleet ? I mean, Squad Leader, Fire Team, Operative are exactly the "pick one of these" list Tacs normally get...

 

[Drakron]

I am sorry but you want the new ones, I just got a Science Kit Medic with +20.6 weapon proficiency.

That makes the Borg Medic old and busted because you can duplicate it (well I assume so, never got a Vascular III from the testing RNG box) but with that bonus, in fact you could swap the Medical Tricorder for Dylovene and get even more meele.

 

[Davidshky]

One thing I'm hoping for are some more "special" kit powers.

Like breen cryo-grenade or cryo-mortar, Jem'hadar cloaky-mine, romulan plasma-mortar, Elachi whatstheirname and klingon targ-summoning.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

There's only one piece of gear I constantly hope for:


Unarmed weapons.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

I want them to add a special TOS Costume for the Gorn... It's just a zipper that goes on the back.



PS. The mirror universe event sounds amazing. Phasers set to farm!

My Gorn would totally rock the TOS orange toga if it were available.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Togas for Gorn!

 

[eklektyk]

Beats me. I've never bought one. Do I look like a bank to you?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Well the most common definition of a bank is a place where a metric fuckton of currency is being kept... so.......

 

[Norfleet]

Yeah, well, I'm not Jedinikon and I'm not made of money.

 

[Drakron]

The only Embassy Kit I got was Squad Leader I believe, the one with Motion Accelerator and a Plasma Grenade.

Saying they are "all good" is kinda wrong, fabrication kits suck so you can ignore those, honestly the new kits are likely going to be better because they are "runic", you can set the abilities on them but since our Fleet doesnt exist in Tribble I havent checked if Kits on the Embassy and Spire have 5 slots or are just Modules (or both).

RIght now Kits are 3/1 or 2/2 as far i can see, there are no "pure" 4 kits as in a kit with 4 medical slots, its always Medical/Science.

The Borg Medical Analyzer can be duplicated with this new system, the main problem right now is this ... Kits didnt Bind, now they bind on account when equipped (same with modules), this makes it so you cannot mail them or sell them if you equip them and I dont see any crafting alternatives, plus being Cryptic they likely going to fag it up and slap a dilithium cost on crafting since its not dead enough.

Also I suspect this also points to a new holding with Kits since they had nothing for a new holding (they were already scrapping in the Spire) and now they do.

 

[Wild Slop]

I just got each of the 3 tac XII kits to cover my bases on the characters that could afford. My Romulan is a neglected sort so he only got the ops.

If there is any chance at getting back into this I will wait for this next change to come about. Hell, I haven't bothered to learn the previous few game changes and suuuch.

 

[Drakron]

OK I forgot I still had a character that is part of Tribble Fleet so .. here are Fleet Kits (Embassy and Spire).

Mk XII

+26.2 Weapon Proficiency
+26.2 Personal Shield Generator
+26.2 Willpower
+26.2 Combat Armor

Thats the same for all classes.

Also they are five slots on 3/2 configuration, plus the unique ability (Flamethrower turret on the Embassy Eng kit) comes with the Kit ... also apparently they have fucked up because the Kit is bind on character but the module is bind on account, even if its bind of character since we can apparently remove it we add both the Embassy Module and the Spire Module to the same kit.

 

[Norfleet]

I'm pretty sure that is intentional and not a fuckup, since they clearly want you to buy both, whereas previously you would not, since they did not actually give you the ability to use more than one.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

another grindfest incoming in season 9...

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well, maybe it's as light as Dyson was. That one was basically a vacation!

 

[Davidshky]

Iirc, they did say that if they got a positive response about the dyson rep, future rep grinds would be similar and they would redo the old rep systems as well.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

actually i read they were unsatisfied with dyson rep because it was excessively fast, so...
grindfest.

 

[Norfleet]

On the Tribble, it seems they've changed the previous reps now, too. At least they didn't add a stupid second currency for the existing ones.

 

[Eyeball]

I went for the federation on my space elf and now I'm eagerly awaiting the moment when I get a new ship. Awwww yeah.

STOP!

Don't do this! When you are told to go into Quinn's/Kerrek/Jmpok's office to claim your promotion at a level divisible by 10...IGNORE IT! JUST DON'T DO THIS. IT IS A TRAP!

Contact me more in-game, but for now...DON'T THIS. KEEP YOUR CURRENT SHIP.

Also, going Fed on a Rom actually kinda stinks and gives you a really lame raw deal. I mean, Diplomacy instead of MARAUDING? Bleeeech.

My one experience playing a real STF with the fleet (for which I was wholly unprepared).

1. Select Norfleet's ship -> Follow
2. Select Norfleet's ship -> Follow
3. Select Norfleet's ship -> Follow
4. Select Norfleet's ship -> Follow
5. Win
Pretty solid tactics on my part, amirite?

(The orange triangular thing turns out to mean a stronger version than usual of the enemy ... well, that's what it says.)

Consider a beam-based loadout if this is your favored tactic, since autofollow will actively prevent you from aiming cannons. I have actually played STFs like this where the entire team consisted of a conga-line autofollowing the ship in front of it, like a naval line of battle.

I've been avoiding getting the promotions but I'm still not sure WHY they're such a bad thing. Could you possibly elaborate a bit, please? Surely getting a new ship would be a good thing? What hidden drawbacks are there?

 

[Norfleet]

The short version: Claiming this promotion will permanently close the option to claim a respec token in the future, should you somehow acquire Gold "subscriber" status, and THEN claim it. You may have no intention of ever doing this. But things happen. If you're the type that's even open to spending money, the deal starts to sound really good after a point. If you're like me, committed to permanent cheapassery...things still happen. Promotions, Internet Opportunities, changes to the system, you never know.

What do you gain by closing your options? Nothing of value...a crappy ship you will ultimately discard anyway, that has zero influence on your final play. Levelling is so quick anyway. Sure, you're thinking, "But a new ship upgrade will help me level faster!". This may be true, but there are other ways of doing this without shooting yourself in the foot, that work just as quickly, and far...far more cheaply. You won't really miss anything.
