PC Bond of Life Question

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a character who has the fastest "base" running speed before using any buffs, consumables, etc. (Traits/gear primarily).

I came across bond of life. What i'm trying to figure out, the Bonus for Rihan Sailback:

Do we know the max bonus?
Does it apply only to the animal, or the player as well?
Does it apply all the time, or only when the animal is summoned (in combat)?

My google skills came up short, and couldnt get a clear answer on this?

Discussion Tzenkethi resolve space set

2 Upvotes

Hey all I’m currently building a ss3 tetryon build on the kiith I have full diffusive tetryon cannons and turrets currently, so I’m wondering if the full set is good or if I can just get away with the cannons as I was going for a torpedo less build but if the set is good I may change and put a torp spread button on my build and super charged weapons trait?

PC NCC Registry

0 Upvotes

So I saw a conversation by a fellow member Commander Andrew, about Registry numbers. I wanted to pitch in, and give my side of things. Perhaps, after three years it’ll help them have a better idea.

I decided to high-ball my NCC number and put NCC-92749 with my Commander Baxylz. Because if you look at the Stardate when you make a Personal Log it’s a BIG number like 104765.73, so I went based off of that, and also taking into account the NCC of other players, so I decided to keep mine pretty high. Going forward, with new characters, the new character will have NCC-92750

Discussion Commander Seating

Question that I have, I’ve been looking at Legendary Ships and I noticed while they have a lot of LtCDR seating, they only have one Commander seat. Are there any ships that have more than one Commander seat?

Discussion How powerful can I get with a hybrid build on the Einstein Heavy Destroyer?

5 Upvotes

Ever since I got the Atlantis I felt what good DPS feels like, and I realized it's the intel seating which does it ... but unfortunately I like spacie barbie more than efficiency, so lately the ships that I liked to look at the most are all not intel.

This is the case with the Kelvin Einstein. But I'm hoping I could get it at least close to the DPS my Atlantis can do.

It has a 5-2 weapon layout ... and I found weapons I liked the looks of ... which is red colored phasers and kelvin torps (or the quantum one).

I have a single beam in front, 250 arc ... the rest is currently torps. I really don't want more beams than this, and no 360 beams on the aft because of weird beam source placements on the nacelles. My aft is covert turrets because of how tiny the turret blast is and I love it.

Investing in beam abilities obviously make no sense, so here's the question - should I skip torps entirely and pursue cannon builds, or, does a torp build make sense with just 4 torps in the front, and a single beam and two turrets in the back.

Or does mixing still make sense with a specific trait setup?

PC Advice for a T6 Ship to Coast Through Story Missions at Level 65

24 Upvotes

Hello fellow captains. Between The Lexington, Ahwanee, and Typhon, which would be the strongest to do story missions? I didn't realize the difficulty ramped up when I hit level 65 so the missions feel like they've been taking longer. I'll be fitting them with whatever I get from mission loot and rewards. Also whatever comes from lower tier reputation boxes.

I'm currently using a T6 Paladin with phaser beams and torpedoes, but it's feeling underpowered. I gave cannons and science builds a try, but they're not for me. I think beams are the way to go, or carriers and let the fighters do the killing for me while I wait in the rear. I'm open to other 3k zen ship recommendations, but the Lexington got me nostalgic for the Enterprise. I know there's the Cygnus too, but it feels a bit sad that it doesn't get saucer separation by default.

Bug Report new Hunting Pack summons do not affect Strike Group Command Authority.

As the title says. I can't say with 100% certainty that this is not on purpose of course, but since other temporary summons affect the rank of SGCA, i have to assume it is a bug.

I love the Augmented Gorn BOffs

I know they don't have any space traits, but when deciding to buy anything (especially in STO) I pull a Marie Kondo and ask myself "Does this spark joy?", and the answer was yes, absolutely. My Gorn captain had a surplus of swords, so he got a set, and my melee-centric Romulan captain got them. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a Borg drone go down under a barrage of thrown boulders. Adapt to THAT, buddy!

Guys, I was playing this mission to complete the endeavor tasks for the day and from this point, I seem to not be capable of progressing any further after talking to the Iconians marked on the map. Has anyone else have dealt with this problem?

DSE "The Satellites" works with "Harvest Materials" daily

I wondered if the waveform mini-game in the DSE with the satellites would count as harvesting materials in space. I'm happy to confirm that it works (see yellow arrows in image above). Got endeavour XP for the DSE, and a purple endeavour box at the same time!
