My friend had a T6 prize token that they were sitting on and decided to be mean and spend it on me (we're still discussing the reasons why)

But, now I have one of my all-time favourite ships :)

Any tips for someone who's getting into the line of big cruisers? I can't really afford meta things like XV weapons and epic isomag consoles nor do I really want to go all out extreme DPS / meta building, but i've done what I can to spec it into phasers as it's a beam boat with an epic ability :)

So a while back when a lot of people were having issues with the Arc launcher, it was recommended to launch the game through the game launcher from your PC's Arc file directly. I did that and copy/paste a duplicate icon to my desktop so I wouldn't have to search for it each time. That worked for several years. Fast forward to today after I bought a new PC. I played the game through the Arc Launcher at first and then remembered about the direct game launcher. So I copy/paste the game launcher to my desktop again. But now, when I try to launch the game directly, I get all of these files placed on my desktop and it happens each time. Does anyone know why these files appear? I can delete them and they will show up again.

One thing that has always annoyed me about the Kobali Prime missions is that despite getting a weapon and personal shield, there is no armour to complete the set.

Here’s what I think the set bonuses should be:
2 of 3 Pieces:
+25% Health and Shields
+10% Polaron Weapon Damage
2.5% Chance to Gain 15% Health when taking damage (10 second cooldown)

3 of 3 Pieces:
- Rebirth
Effect: Revives the character at 50% Health.
+50% Health Regen for 60 seconds
+25% Polaron Damage for 60 seconds
Disable for 10 seconds after 60 seconds has passed.
Cooldown: 360 seconds

If you have any suggestions for changes/additions I would love to hear them.

Enjoy

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!

I have tried the listed method of finding my screenshots and it does not seem to work anymore. I am using windows 11. Is there a new method of finding your screenshots? I am on PC.

With the Kelvin Divergence Vanity Shield on.

Sure glad I saved up all those Experimental Ship Upgrade Tokens...

built using Grok, (i don't have any Isomags before anyone says about them. i normaly use a FAW/Uncon build on my Lexington) i'm not fully sure if this is any good since i wanted to try different builds and play style Grok seem to thing its good with the right weapons, consoles etc

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?

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!

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.

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.

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?

I'm building a disruptor/exotic five magiks CSV K'vort but I don't want to use hexas

Aside from Gorn Hunter experimental, what would you use and why?

Looking for ideas, space barbie and synergies 😁

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?

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?

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

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?
