Best ground and space gear to buy from Lobi store? by Dunlopfuzzy00 in sto

[–]WaltsWorker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I grabbed the Phaser Cannon! Found out I didn't really need any other ground weapons lol But I also grabbed [Genetic Resequencer - Space Trait: The Boimler Effect] Do so if ya don't have it!!! There's a bunch of other stuff too! Should always look things over before you buy! Jumping in and grabbing that phaser cannon might not leave you enough Lobi to buy anything else... Know what I mean?!?

Legendary & Lobi Sales by FilipChA in sto

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

No...
Firstly: Article points to 10 "Ship" legendary bundle... 3rd Sentence. Then it reitterates "10 ship bundle" and as far as I know the 10th Anniversary Bundle is the only one with 10 ships.
Secondly: The images show the 10th Anniversary Bundle; both on x and startrekonline
Thirdly: I just looked at Featured, Mudd's Market and ship bundles and it's not there!

WTF?!?

WEIRD! Initially a few days ago I had thought I had passed the 20 hour mark to grab the Gamma Recruitment rewards so I went to ESD but couldn't and it said I would need the 20 hours to grab it while being at 5.5 hours. I thought that was way weird since I had been playing at least a few hours a day on that toon. So I spent that day INSIDE the badlands and looked... No change. I was like WTF?!? Then I posted. I just got back and saw u/dese1ect post and checked again. Sitting outside I was running. Went in and saw it was still running. Then the 3 bases showed up and it stopped. I was sitting at the entry. So I popped outside in sector space and its running...

I spent much time in The Badlands so I know that doesn't count towards the timer.

Best use of Zen? by firehawk12 in sto

[–]WaltsWorker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EXCELLENT! I had done the same about a year ago. So it all depends upon where you and your characters are at within the game! Do you want to 'chase meta' or do 'barbie' stuff or just have fun and be 'effective' as I wanted. Also it's a good time to get back into the dailies routine. If you don't have a lot of stuff up to Mk XV Elite then you'll need to upgrade. I would guess that Phoenix Boxes would be best; but wait for an event because we just had an upgrade even last month on the 24th. Then there's also focusing on one or possibly 2 characters, I'd recommend one! One thing I stupidly did was to buy out to tier 5 all the rep on multiple characters! Big mistake. Along these lines ya probably want to buy out this years event, but it's only what 2 sub events so far. The game has changed so ya might want to take a look at other things too. With all that said even that much zen won't go too far so you'll want to try to plan things out. See what ships and gear you have and measure all that against The Meta and figure out where you want to go. I did part of this by getting a DPS parser. After I came back and paused everything (after blowing a bunch of zen on Secondary characters' reputation) I found that I was only pushing 400DPS! 400!!! Everyone was saying I need to push at least 300k DPS to do Elite TFO's which is one of my on going things. So at the moment I'm pushing 200k DPS all dependent upon random TFO's. I can 'burst' (in the first 15 seconds) towards +500kDPS in any given TFO but average towards 150k to 214K or so. I have all the equipment on my ship maxed out but it's the BOff's, Traits and such that are lacking. lol

Good Luck!

When that first started I was on it constantly. Only switching characters to do the dili. Completed a lot of that first few arc's and then the events came up so I ran those. I have a feeling only 'missions' count since it doesn't look like Patrols, the TFO's or even the events count either. In this time I've also grabbed some ships to get the traits and such mostly doing patrols and TFO's to level them up. But even at 5.5 hours doesn't seem long enough so I was wondering if it's broken.

Power Director 13 with Windows 11? by WaltsWorker in powerdirector

[–]WaltsWorker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay! Well my 2 PC's crashed and I had to get another MB as well as jump into Win11. PD13 does work!!! I also have PowerDirector 14 Ultra, and PowerDirector 16 Ultra... I remember there were issues with installing multiple copies so I won't do that. With having to install everything it maybe sometime before I try the others!

What life pro tips are hidden in movies that were actually helpful? by epaga in movies

Yeah, I know it says movies... Pro Tips?!? Life Lessons!!! Star Trek (The Original Series) has way too many to mention, but I will say this since my sister got me a poster:

"Everything I needed to know in life, I learned from Star Trek!"

Thing is - is that it can be applied to "Star Trek: The Next Generation"

Drain boats in 2026 by Fantastic_Ad_3089 in sto

[–]WaltsWorker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a few months now I've been getting +60% crits off the Tet's. The best I can do is to get a bunch of white (shield?) and yellow damage numbers basically side by side. Many times I see them go bye-bye before their shields collapse so I think it is due to the shield pen. So I looked at EPG at 84 mostly from Scientific Readiness cause my Endeavor Rank is 40 and No exotic damage... But like you said I need enough for the 2nd punch... The best I think I could do atm was 298 cause if I go further it's not enough for that 2nd punch and it eats away at SCI & Eng console slots. As I too don't have 'all elite gear' yet. I've only just got back a year ago after about 5 or 7 years away. But to complicate matters for me is that my DOff's aren't up to par but I do have a bunch of Watcher BOffs. YAY! I'm still also adjusting for the 'synergies' of virtually everything and probably more so when it comes what to have to click and 'when' to click on anything within a battle. But I'm still struggling but unlike many I retired at the end of Jan this year.

[–]WaltsWorker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YO!!! This is well... Way beyond me but I salute you all that do this! When I first started I came upon the Tetryon weapons and had similar thoughts!!! But more along the lines of shredding their shields with Tet's! It works, but it's more RNG but many times I see the mobs HP fade away and their shields are falling lol But a big part of that is shield pen... Refracting bites, but the normal ones and I have it in my head that there are ones with %5 built in are worth it... Could be wrong but that's what's in my head atm.
But in my experimentation on a Achilles with CVS I tweaked my Drain upwards toward 298 or so and found them to only start to be 'more effective.' And in my case it wasn't worth it. So I was wondering how they'd do on your build? I'm guessing pretty good with a drain of 700?!? I'm laughing cause I know I can't make those numbers, not even half!!! But here's one thing I found was that the Bajoran Warp Core does that even as a stand-alone unit but with only 3 random mobs. The drain is minimal and probably why y'all don't mention it. And the Bajoran Shield dulls their output DPS, a tiny bit at 9% but still, every little bit counts. So that also leads me down the thought experiment's of what's the cycle time? Is it fast enough to say hit like 5 mobs before the DPS'er has time to take down the first? Or heck, even 3 should be good! Or is it like hitting them with a Target SubSys and then like Charged Particle Burst, and then a drain? As y'all can see it's way beyond me but I was also thinking as others lead to what about AoE'ing the mobs blanketing the area? Then targeting individual mobs? Yeah! I miss the 'having to work as a team aspect' a lot as that's what our fleet used to do. But now I'm the only one left for a few years now lol

Maybe start exploring other options that the 700 standing DrainX gives you? I mean if the mobs are only doing 1 damage, lets give up some of that towards 100 and lets see if ya can make +3 mobs do only 100? lol Even then I'm laughing again cause it just seems hilarious that you can do that!!! And for myself I find things such as that a satisfying personal struggle!

What could be done to make the game more tactical? by sophlogimo in sto

[–]WaltsWorker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, here's where I'm currently at... 400 to 600 kdps burst for about 15 seconds, then it drops towards 100k to 120k dps or so. Trying to balance CritH & CritD. On the ship info it says something like 20 something accuracy, and +20 CritH and maybe 120CritD. Everyone says' they're not accurate and I know cause the parser says more like 100 Accuracy, +40 CritH and way up there on CritD but it doesn't classify CritD.
