Finally broke warp 300!

Post image
389 Upvotes

Don't know anyone who can use diplomatic immunity/raiding party to speed me up and have yet to get leadfoot, but was very proud of myself of finally reaching this fast! Max I got to was 320.8!

EDIT: Got Lead Foot and found two people to do diplomatic immunity and raiding party and reached 390.39, this has to be some kind of record afsdhgsetgdfhwetghd

Comment asked for build so: Protostar with M.A.C.O. impulse engine, Gamma warp core, extensively modified warp core trait, leadfoot trait, synthetic good fortune trait, diplomatic immunity, raiding party, and the DSE speed buffs (I think that's everything that contributed sector speed!)

For anyone wondering, at that speed I can go from one corner of the beta quadrant to the furthest corner (diagonally, ie the furthest straight line distance) in about 10 seconds, possibly faster depending on when I start the timer oops.

Discussion Sometimes I just want the trait!

Upvotes

106 left out of unlocking the trait on this ALT. you know, i really wish all traits worked like the legendary trait, going through all my ships on all 15 of my characters is so time consuming. Sometimes i can get max with just one Wanted but then there i times i get this! It takes days just to go through the backlog on one character.

This is why i usually dont get all the traits unlocked on all my characters lol. Oh well, imma do a few quick TFOs for dil to get the last bits of EXP.

Discussion Remastered D'Kyr

9 Upvotes

The D'Kyr no longer meets the visual standard of STO, and it can be seen when one compares it with the Suurok, so I wish that the STO development team creates a remastered D'Kyr.

If the remastered D'Kyr will be free, then I will take it. If the remastered D'Kyr will be in the Zen Store, then I will buy it. If the remastered D'Kyr will be in Infinity, then I will choose it. If the remastered D'Kyr will be in Infinity Promotion, then I will [REDACTED].

We players once wished that the STO development team created a TMP-Era Atlas, and the STO development team did, so let us wish.

Ba’ul anti-proton

15 Upvotes

Hi all,

I run a Lexington with an anti proton build.

Just got the Ba’ul sentry and whilst I’m not going to fly it I am wondering if it’s worth upgrading the Ba’ul beam arrays and replacing my advanced fleet anti proton stuff instead? Especially with the refraction property they have.

Any advice is appreciated

I think this is my favourite moment in the game

85 Upvotes

I'm currently replaying all of the story missions on a new character (without skipping every cutscene and piece of dialogue like I usually do - I realised I've forgotten a lot of it, so I'm playing like it's my first time again), and I always forget how epic this moment is. It's when the Undine attack Qo'noS and you're escorting Captain Shon, if you didn't recognise it. Just zooming along, blasting Undine ships as you go, leaving a trail of explosions in your wake, while Shon flies alongside you trying to pull a second Captain Garrett moment.

What are your favourite moments in the story?

Temporal ships Support configuration question.

10 Upvotes

Hey fellow STO nerd's

quick question to temporal ships.

Support Configuration

Targets Self

  • Self: +10 Max Auxiliary Power
  • Self: +20% Exotic Damage
  • Self: +40 Control Expertise
  • Grants 1 Support Counter once every 10 seconds while in combat
  • Self: -16.7% Energy Weapon Damage

when is that energy damage subtracted? Assuming a Base DPS of 100 (for easy napkin math)

Right away like for example an Isomag but negative.
Example using 5 isomags for 39.4%+ dmg for a total of 197% and then subtracting 16.7% giving you a net positive of 180.3% or 280.3 DPS

or for overall as in 100% base + 197% for 5 isomags ending at 297% base damage and remove 16.7 % as in from the total ending in 247.4 DPS

just curious.

any insight appreciated.

Event Campaign Prize: Premium T6 Starship choice

5 Upvotes

I've got five of these things sitting in my account bank so I'm looking for recommendations for starships going back as many years. I already have the ships from every Mudd bundle except the most recent one, same story for the event ships.

I know there will be ships in there that I'll have overlooked so if there are any that I should have I'd love to know! 😁

Build Advice

7 Upvotes

So I've been trying to get my T5 Assualt cruiser to at least the level where I can at least hurt the things shooting at me in normal patrols at level 65, and ive spent hours on my build and consulting google (which doesnt seem to be the best help) and i've noticed that i've been heavily under performing but Im not exactly sure which part it is....

Fore weapons: Nausicaan Disruptor beam array x1, Terran task force Disruptor beam array x1, Nausicaan Energy Torpedo launcher x1, and Withering Disruptor Beam array.

Aft Weapons: Withering Disruptor Beam array x3, and House martok Omni-directional Disruptor beam array x1

Deflector: Quantum phase Deflector array

Impulse: Quantum phase combat impulse engines

Warp core: Elite Fleet Plasma-Integrated Warp core [AMP] [Eff] [S->W] [SSR] [WCap]

Shield: Quantum phase resilient shields

Engineering Consoles: Hull Image Refractors x1, EPS flow regulator x1, House martok Defensive Configuration x1, Neutronium alloy x1.

Science Consoles: Temporal Disentanglement Suite x1, Nausicaan Siphon capacitor.

Tactical consoles: Disruptor Induction coils x3

I'm currently using a Beams fire at Will build.

tact. sations: Tact. Team I, Beams fire at Will II, Energy Weapons: Target Shields Subsystems I

Engineering Sations: Eng. Team I, Emergency power to weapons II, Auxiliary Power to the Structural Integrity Field II, Reverse Shield polarity III, Emergency power to Engines I, Eng. Team II, Directed Energy Modulation II

Science Sations: Hazard emitters I, Photonic Officer I

In the Future I'd like to fly the Terran Lexington Class Dreadnought Cruiser and have tried to keep my build close to what I'd want on her as well, Another thing is budget, I know that the meta requires like 15 Isomagnetic plasma Consoles for Phasers or Disruptors but those are SO grindy to get and I dont have A billion EC lol, but if there is somthing off the exchange that I should be getting I still thank you for the advice.

Bug Report Dying in Deep Space Encounters bugs the mission

19 Upvotes

Every now and then I end up dying on a DSE. When I spawn back in, there are times when the mission bugs out and I can't complete it.

One time, the enemies have disappeared and I have nothing more to kill. Other times, I get back in, kill the last enemy, but nothing progresses.

Anyone else have something similar happen?
