STO is 3.75 on steam for the next 24 hrs. They may have ran out of CD keys but are still selling it. Folks on the STO board got 500 ($6.25) Cstore points with their CD keys. So buying this is if you don't already own it is a kinda no brainer.

You also get the Steam phaser turret that is exclusive to Steam as well.

boo.. that's the version i bought in the first place... no cheap points for me T.T

Oh and the Del Taco shuttle is avilable if you buy a ship this weekend. But the guys on the STO forums say you can decomissions a Cstore ship then reclaim it and you'll get the shuttle pet.

"del taco shuttle"? I'd hold out for a Chipotle Civilian Transport Vessel, or a least a Taco Bell Salvage Craft.

Well I tried the "remastered" Doomsday Machine mission. It was ok. It's a bit glitchy though trying to get them to remote control your character. Got that torpedo and it's ok I guess.

Yes. Yes...This is going according to the plans!

Except it's a chinese company who bought them out. Asian free-to-play tend to have terrible stores that makes the game lopsided. The few that don't still have shitty stores as they care more about money than the actual game.

Stores?

Yeah, stores you can buy stuff for your in game characters. Like LOTRO Store where you can buy experience tomes and such.

anyone have something that can make my retrofitted defiant turn a hell of a lot faster?
oh btw, I dumped a lot of stuff all over the place because I didn't have access to dump resources :( sorry guild leader!

Well hopefully it will be exactly where you can earn the stuff in game without having to drop a dime.

I think I still have the retrofitted defiant as one of my ships. Not sure what kind of gear I have in it though. Been so long since I've played with that ship that I barely remember what I had for it.

Never mind, apparently I gave all my kit for that ship to my brother. Who no longer plays the game.

is there any way to get this game to support dual monitors?

If you haven't already, make sure you max the Retrofit Escort Captain skill, along with all the other Escort Captain skills and Starship Combat Maneuvers. There's also an engineering console that increases turn rate but the name escapes me right now.

I recently switched my sci captain to an advanced escort without respec'ing and it definitely feels sluggish compared to when I fly one using my tactical captain, who is fully spec'ed for it. So hopefully it's just a matter of reallocating some skill points for you.

My Def-R turns great and I run engines at the minimum power setting. As metaly said, make sure you're spec'ed into escorts all the way to retro escorts, along with combat manuevers. Putting skill points in engine efficiency and engine performance will raise your engine power levels without having to raise the engine power setting, which ups your turnrate as well. Finally, the console you're referring to is the RCS Accelerator. I highly recommend against using one of these on your Def-R as there are much more important consoles to use on an escort's engineering slots.

anyone want to post a screen shot of your stats? and skills?

did you guys see this?

the new Enterprise F..... hmmmmm I dunno what to think.

Crazzzyyyyyy Season 4 patch notes for Tribble. They had to roll back the update because of a database problem, but you can still read the notes. There's a lot of stuff explaining ability changes and how the new ground combat will work.

In particular, this sounds cool:

Borg now adapt to your weapons on a per-player, by energy type basis. Use a new Frequency Remodulator to clear Borg adaptation to your ground weapons (or fight hand-to-hand). The Frequency Modulator is available in your ship replicator

Also this... amazing!

Vascular Regenerator will now properly extinguish a plasma fire DoT on you or your allies. Fire Extinguisher and Breen CRM 2000 will now extinguish plasma fires from plasma grenades.

Hey guys the first build of season 4 hit tribble. I only had time to play it a bit but the ground combat is much more fun. It should make ground portions of missions go by in a flash.
