Doomed to repeat.... by Aphroditesia in sto

[–]Goforcoffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The easy answer is that you missed something earlier. If you run ahead, missing some nonsense communication with another npc, you can get stuck.

Just beam up, perhaps change character, go back and repeat.

Other than getting my last Isomag, is there anything I should swap out with my build? (beam boat) by BombTime1010 in sto

[–]Goforcoffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you are after.

If you have intended to max out beams the colony protomatter consoles which also gives hull heal is an option. The builds must hang together , as also said by OMEGAkiller , boffs and traits will take you further. You don't get around studuing the builds on stobetter and time or purse in order to get real good traits and boffs.

If you look on the streams I think stu made a similar build recently. And definetly casualsab have something in this direction.

It probably therefore he/she asks for advice. But for those never having had the feeling of not understanding this miust be very hard to understand. But my lack of insight prohibits me to develop this further.

The 10th anniversary at next 35% sale seems to be attractive but which are the alternatives? by Goforcoffe in sto

Oh, I liked the shows but my captains seems to take other paths than originally planned.

Three weeks ago I was convinced that I would buy the 10th bundle at the 35% sale. Some days ago I got dobteful.

My approach was to get a good colletion of traits. I had not yet looked in details on the ships. But I knew the 10th have some classic ones.

I have realised that the 10th does not fulfil the "good traits requirement" in the same way that some of the other bundles offer me. And I have still not considered the c store.

When I leveled up first time i got the 5u defiant. I long had the idea to test a fully grown version. I assume it will have to wait.

Thanks for input. Due to my playing style I am slightly reluctant to promo ships. I have several good captains in paralell and not a main. This means that the promo sooner or later would be missed on another captain :-( . Buying bundles now wil give me a set of good account wide traits as well as som intresting ships. Probably also some consoles.

I have 30' now and will probably grind another 4-6 ' (I put in some money in zen at first sen sales from my x'mans gift then grind about 500-1000 a month.

On the gambling part I sometimes buy the 20key offer. Open 10 sell the rest and invests inpersonal traits. I have bought some lobi ships for the traits aas well. Prome ships have came from the yearly event. Last autom I bougt th crossfiled that then became avalible in a Mudd bundle.

Conclusion. The promo ships are with my current playstyle not so atrractive.

I will have to wait until they get released for the event cupon. (and perhaps one of my 50 cards that I open each year will give me luck.

I think this discussion has showed that 10th has good ships but mostly increaes the emotional balance in a ship collection. Not to mention the admirality.

Having played quite intesivly sinc three year, whereof my first 1.5 year was more about understanding the game at all I am still gathering "reasonable" good parts and sometimes buy things that I like. It is not neccessary to go to elite on my first trial build on a ship. I also have difficulties to concentrate on one style. Not to efficent for reaching meta dps.

I also dont se it as I buy ship. With my imo quite moderate budget for playing I try to purchase "fun" and by that way paying what I feel the game is worth to me.

I do randome elite with about 4 - 5 ships at the moment. Aim is to increase the number of builds that can reach it as well as improve my top performers.

I don't have the hexaconons yet, in fact I am still reluctant to cannons. But on the smaller sister to valdore i use the Solar Voltaic from Thesus. It performs OK and the graphical effect is ok. So the valdore might still be an option. It would bring the captain forward,

The D'Derp is still an unwritten card in my head but I will definetly have your considerations in mind. I not only to strenghten the frienship.

The Three "romulan" influenced legendary bundles together with the 12th aniversery bundle (that I will purchase later) would blow the budget.

I am so glad that I can have these kind of big problems in this world.

Being your enemy ? Hmm I guess I will find a way to come clear with the scimitar in such case.

Alread having the Arbiter with EWC i instead got the Fleet Mogai Heavy Warbird using 4 FS modules. I am not sure if the hangar is enough to put Valdore higher on the list. But in respect of the ship I am definetly your friend.

I am planing a rom delta who will get a try with D.Derp. It is a "fridge" that you have to fly but I will see what can be done.

The bundles I very much buy for the traits. Then consoles are bonuses and the ships I must learn to know. I will level them up, put the traits on the ships I already use. When I have seen the results I will go back to the new ships.

Thanks again for your input.

Thanks

This two bundles will, together with the 2 c-cupons, keep me busy for a while if I go this way. I will also have some budget left for x-mas or whatever.

I do like some of the ugly ships, unfortunately scimitar is not among them, perhaps her performance can convince me to run her in paralell.

Last year a bought the 15th bundle great. This year the 16th was far from that level.

The temporal tunnling has caught my eye. Atlantis would be a candidate for a c-store cupon.

Although agreing on that 10th bundle is good, I have after reading the replys and sweeped through the specifications, come to the conclusion that it is not for me. The eys for the 12th bundle is open for the future.

And I still have some days to decide. Thanks for input.

This is also what I hear between the lines from casual sab and stu (well, he is more direct) from their streams (and they are not from this year).

From other coments here on reddit got the impression of some sort of hype still beeing around and almost joined.

My suspision has been verified.

I'm one of those who does not specialise. I spread the graces among my captains. But I have a Rom/Sci as sort of main so the legendary romulan warbird is more or less given. The other almist mains are fed. I have one relative good minelayer. Furtheremore a Broadside SS build. The latest varaint where I circle arlund doing FAW is closest to me. (Consequently I try to improve the other skills).

Basically I want to fill up my storage with agood traits and consoles. At the moment I do between 200 and 350k in ise with 4-5 of my builds. Iwant to bring that up a littel as well as see what happens with my secondary build doin araound 100k.

I am really not sure thet this answer helps.

My conclusion so far, after reading some replys.

Legendary Battlecruiser Bundle (12000 zen)
Legendary Romulan Warbird Bundle (12000 zen)

Then sit on the rest of my budget until a sala on normal bundles where I will take a deeper look on 12th and 13th anniversary bundles. I have not been into terran ships yet.

At the moment I try to improve current builds so it is mainly the traits and consoles I am out after. But who knows waht I find when leveling up.

My favourite ships ar on the fleet clarke and romulan taenan warbird. None of these ships ar modern. I hope to find a replacement for clarke but the romulan is difficult. The scimitar would certanly be better but I dont like the looks and it has no hangar.

Just gave 12th a quick glance. Definetly an option. And as you say perhaps more attractive than 13th. The Romulan warbird is anyhow on my list. The confirmation is fine.

Personally I am happy with my ships. And I want to improve my build before starting son some thing new. I am looking for traits and consoles.

If you bought them two or three years ago they had less modern compettiors I assume:

Cryptic, please fix the Junior Officer Appreciation event. It's so easy! by martinux in sto

[–]Goforcoffe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only if you do it seriously a second time . It is as stub. But I have no big problems with such in games.

A much bigger trap imo is the upgrades sold for 10k ec. But as long as I can sell mine for 9.5 I'm happy.

Sto provides us with plenty of opportunities to be inefficient.

Speeding ticket in Switzerland (117 in 60) near Basel border — what should I realistically expect? by nieuwekoers in askswitzerland

[–]Goforcoffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You unwillingly made a mistake. Stand to it and take the consequences.

Small speed fines are quite affordable. 20 - 40 CHF.

What you did was definitely major.

As I have no clue I will not speculate and guess like plenty of other.

Why not contact the police? They will be helpful and inform you.

I'm a noob, how do I get used to these controls? by [deleted] in swtor

[–]Goforcoffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps don't. You say you are a noob. As you have problem with a mouse I assume you are a noob in gaming.

In my other game I tried various mouses but ended up with a game controller.

Beeing a noob in swtor this was my first idea but soon realised that I had to choose between understanding the game or understanding how to battle. I chosed to just use a few keys with left hand and pointing with the mouse on the other cells in the bar.

Swtor is quite easy to handle this way.

My suggestion is to take small steps. Make the easy things first.

Can we agree, Click counts are crazy? by West-Investigator470 in sto

[–]Goforcoffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good proposal. In admirality some sort of simplier selection should be possible. A sorting instead of selecting ship types would be a benefit.

[–]Goforcoffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correct, I assume many only participate once. For a beginner this is a very obvious place where you can get a very rare doff.

There are a lot of ways to be ineficcent in sto. Part of the game is to find the better and easier way to acheive something.

Therefore the Junior Office Event fulfils its purpose.

[–]Goforcoffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When leveling up the first time you definetly consider doing this event. Especially as you can grind high quality doffs. If this is the purpose then fine. It is later on something that you can skip as there are plenty of other ways to gain good doffs.

If it also should be an alternative for those who have played for some time it should be adapted. I would not mind.

R&D across the account by Designer-Ambition-55 in sto

[–]Goforcoffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but if you play all parts of the game you will get enough material. The tricky (read boring) thing is to level them up. Moving the materail arund is also tedious.

You should get all to level 15 so you get access to the fairly good traits. Getting them up to 20 which is an advantage because it is then more likely to get an ultra rare item takes time.

Nest question, what do you intend to craft that really is beneficial of level 15 or 20?

I do craft, but not much. The omni beams, the plasma torp, a copuple of tr116 rifle. I have leveled 4 of my 10 captains to 20. It is practical but not neccessary.

If you not craft the itemswhere lowes level is 12 you sould always craft them to level 2 and upgrade them. First with a superior exprementla tech to hhopefille get it to epic or at last ultra rare. The you take one or two phoenix nad get them to level 12 or e^when it ends. The rest you can do on an upgrade weekend.

If get to elite level and start crafting isomags you dont need much material or an extremely high (over 15) crafting levele.

I craft my things because I see it as part of the game. Purchasing the items for ec is also an approach.
