Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
A good use for your first 110k(thereabouts) dilithium is to purchase the 500 CPoints it takes to buy 2 character slots for your account.  Then you can make that tactical character and see what you've been missing, as well as make that Klink so you can see the other side.  Though I must say, my Orion babe is quite handy with a Bat'leth.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Hm...somehow I had that Klink slot out of nothing...and now I'm cruising around with my Bird of prey^^

Edit: I found another bug...I retrained my gorn tactical officer...replace attack pattern beta with rapid fire 3...and got fire beams at will 3 ...and when I try to retrain him with rapid fire 3, the game says, he already got that skill...wtf?!
Edit2: After playing several missions I got the feeling the Klinks don't work right...bugged missions, my Ktinga cannot cloak...and so on.

The U.S.S. Kelpie on approach to DS9. Loaded up with plasma and tetryon cannons, and a Rare Mk V quantum torpedo launcher, plus a couple nasty surprises for any ships I overtake.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Nothing will convince me that my Excelsior refit with disruptor beams and plasma torpedoes isn't awesome. Dive bombing ships with heavy plasma torpedoes (it's what you get when you combine plasma torps with High Yield ability) is too fun, especially when they're suffering from the disruptor debuff. Tricobalts? We don't need no stinkin' tricobalts! Full broadsides are nasty enough, considering I have energy damage consoles and a constant 125 weapons power level. Plus, I have the option to go defensive. 13k shield quadrants, 53k hull, 30% resists to pretty much everything, and a lot of defensive cooldowns. It's not invincible, but you'd better bring friends. I will go down fighting to the last.

A typical scenario:
Klink - Ambush motha****a!  :cool:
Me - Is that all you've got?   :rolleyes:
Klink -  :banghead:

A typical scenario (for me):
Klink - Ambush!
Me - Tetryon cannon spam! :mad2:
Klink - Why did he just stop shooting?
Me - A Skype call, of all times it could happen... :mad:

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Got a heavy cruiser, and my Tac officer decided to treat me to a grand old showing of the "Fire at Will" show, with a broadwayside cast of six Mk. VI Phasers [DMGx2].  I fell in love with it instantly as I utterly demolished a division of frigates in something less than ten seconds.

Running with a 13% bonus to phaser damage, the best shield I can get at the moment, three consoles to boost shield energy, all of the passive abilities I can muster to increase shield strength, and then power set to full weapons, I feel like a deity cruising the battlespace.

Love the bulldozer the Klingons get at tier 5...big, ugly and dwarfs everything next to it.

Starfleet star cruisers aren't the biggest out there, but they damn well look pretty.

That's pretty much what my Retribution is like except I'm using the Emissary's pylons.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
I like my Odyssey quite a bit.  I wish I had some hull options with it though.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
I just got a MKV Plasma beam [crt] from a DOff mission last night, but haven't got a chance to test it yet.  Also, I love my rear-mounted plasma torpedo and high-yeild ability.  "Look at the coward, he's running away!  After hi-... Oh, there's a huge ball of 'ruin my whole day' heading straight for my face..."

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
For my steam install I used prntscrn and I went into program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/star trek online/Star Trek Online/Live/screenshots

Without all what symbols?  The HUD?  I turned off the HUD in options or something.  Or maybe there was a key to toggle it.

21:20:26   Spoon: I'd hit it like the fist of steiner

Some people are like Slinkies.  They aren't really good or even useful for anything but they always manage to put a little smile on your face when you give them enough of a push down the stairs.

 
Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
By default, screenshots taken with prntscrn automatically remove the HUD for epic-er shots.

I made a rather useless post earlier in the thread about a new character. That character is SolarNightmare (because i'm really creative when naming characters).

It doesn't take long to level.  Esp. if you do the Mirror Universe events.

Hell, once you get duty officers you don't even have to be logged on to get levels.
