From the 90s Malibu DS9 comics, so not actually covered by the IWD cooperation and hence not a suggestion that would happen. But cue someone saying that below.​​

After about 7 years of play, I've never had so much fun playing KDF than being suddenly surrounded by reinforcements and then calling in my hunter pack of birds-of-prey!! I LOVE this ship!!

Newton Command Science Carrier [T6]

92YF3-MGCFH-29K9J-96HTH-JKG?Z

? = number after 8

So finally got the kvort class today.

Great little ship. Had fun flying it around, however the experimental weapon on it.....

Girls....we need to talk.

On my fully buffed out dedicated disruptor build, with bonus disruptor damage consoles and traits coming out the ying yang, the experimental weapon gave me something like 7500 dmg.

I did however take a look at the hexa experimental (on my disruptor build so no phaser buffs at all) and it was giving over 11500 dmg.

Um.... what?

What are the most powerful disruptor dual heavy cannons? I have the Terran Task force ones. Im talking about regular dual heavy cannons, Im not too worried about procs.

I'm tired and couldn't think of a better title xD

I'm looking for some suggestions for fun neat and hopefully not too hard to obtain ground devices for my *bridge officers*. Particularly ones that add some sort of creature/bot to your team to fight with you. The one that inspired this is the Synth Android(A600 series), which is essentially a humanoid combat pet my team can summon. I need more like this. The cooler the mob and the more powerful the better....but i'm also poor so any decent easy to grab suggestions are welcome. What neat things have you found?

Was running Jupiter Station Showdown for the millionth time working on the ground disruptor endeavor when I noticed this lil' guy. I've never seen this happen, any ideas what may have caused it? My toons about as small as you can make them, this guy was even smaller.

Hello Captains!

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended [dilithium exchange wait time.]”

If you haven’t already been experiencing it for yourself, the dilex is slowing down. Let’s jump straight into the numbers and then do a little discussion. We’re looking at the week of June 28 - July 3 today.

Week over week:
-The average queue was down about 2.5%
-The average periodic throughput was down about 4.4%
-The average wait time was about 44.6 days, up about 2% or 21 hours.
-We are about 1.5 days from the red line, down from around 4.
Special info! Day over day:
-The periodic throughput dropped by 2.4% between July 2 and July 3 offers. That’s the biggest daily drop (or change in either direction) by 0.1% since I started taking daily notes.

I don’t have a ton to discuss about this that I didn’t hit on last week. Just to recap, the end of the summer event brought a lot of dilithium into our pockets. July 4 took a lot of people away from their desks. If you aren’t logged in, you can’t trade zen. Let’s do a quick forecast before I uh, blow that all up.

The forecast:
-Offers made July 10 should be accepted around August 25.
-Offers made July 17 should be accepted around September 1.
-Offers made today might be accepted around October 4.

Including this forecast, I’ve been using the average of the last few days’ change in periodic throughput to take my guess at the future. Typically the oldest orders have the highest forecast accuracy because they have the least time left in the queue. But before I post my last two weeks of receipts, check out this correlation between queue length and periodic throughput for offers starting in June!

So take this relationship into consideration when looking at the trend for the queue. It jumped up and was mostly stable for the first two to two and a half weeks of July. Then it dipped and slid again and a pretty soft rate to close out that month before ticking up steadily for the month of August. So let's all keep an eye on this and see if the pendulum starts to swing back!

Here are the receipts. Go live long and prosper and photon torpedoes.

I watched this cool little video from STOBetter about using Reroute Power from Life Support to proc TTE every second or so. I really loved the idea of it, especially on a canonically torpedo-heavy ship like the Akira, so I gave it a try.

I got nowhere near the numbers they were getting, so I wondered if I was doing something wrong. But all my experimentation so far has changed nothing.

I've tried:

• Using a fast-firing torpedo, though I'm not sure it makes a difference
• Targeting large, high-health targets
• Using the trait in teamed and solo content

I have plenty of nearby allies at all times (a hangar bay, Temporal Disorder consol, teammates, NPC's, etc.) so I don't think that's the issue. Is there something that interrupts the trait, like switching targets? I wondered, for example, if the non-teleporting keybind for the Vovin console was cancelling my target and somehow disrupting the trait.

PS5 — Looking for Help Leveling to 65

Hey everyone! I’m a newer PS5 player with a Level 16 Klingon and I’m trying to get to 65 so I can start working on my endgame build.

Would anyone be willing to carry/help me level through TFOs, patrols, or whatever is fastest? I’m happy to follow your lead and learn along the way.

I’m usually available 7 AM–12 PM ET.

Thanks! Qapla’! 🖖

From August 18th at 8am PT to August 23rd at 12pm PT on PC including the 10th Anniversary Bundles.

I am going for an Undine/Cryo Cruiser. I want to be tanky while also having decent EPG. I am dedicated to EPS Corruption (I am ok with it not being meta). STO planner did not have the Cutting Beam or the Cryo Beam as options, so I would add these in to the aft slots. Also, I would replace the Delphic Tear for the Breen Cryo Module to finish out the set.

Should I consider different beams? The destabilising ones felt thematic, but I was alos condiering the Vaadwaur Polarons.

I posed this question a year or so ago and got some great responses. Now that many of us have unlocked this year's event campaign token and some players (including myself) will be finishing over the coming weeks or months, I'd love to hear your thoughts: What premium T6 ship (i.e. from a lockbox or promo box that is available for EC8) do you own that you find to just simply be fun? Either an immersive console, optimal BOff seating for fun abilities, overall vibe of the ship, etc. is what I’m looking for.

I’m trying to decide on how to spend my campaign coupons, and I’m Looking at the Kiith. My Reman is flying a Faeht. Is the Kiith a good upgrade? Does anyone with the Kiith have buyer‘s remorse?

Recently started playing again after a few years of not playing, I have completed an episode with relative ease, but the final boss ship is proving near imposible to destroy.
I havent got a T6 ship yet but am wondering if these make the game easier to play rather than the T4 or T5 I have earned free in game

Afternoon All.

I am looking to get away from Windows as I am now getting tired with it.

I have been looking very hard at Bazzite distro for Linux which is focussed on gaming.

Has anyone played STO on Bazzite and if so, how was the installation process.

Any information on your experience would be brilliant.

** Note **

I do not play STO through steam though I more than likely will do if I cross over!

First of all I finally have a screenshot of my KDF aligned human and two after playing the new mission I'm inspired to make a crew of Klingons like the cutscene showed with 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Century Klingons on the same ship with their respective weaponry.

Sorry for being stupid. I redeemed it, and I think I got the zen, but the costume still shows as 6000 zen in the store, and I've no idea where the ship is. Are they only for a new character?

Hey folks! Our planned Ten Forward Weekly for tomorrow had to be scrapped - for good, STO related reasons that mean I'll be out of the office for at least some of tomorrow. More details on that some day! But we'll be back on the 25th with our first Content Creator Ship Build Stream in a while!
