The BoP League Reborn

$
0
0
Greeting fellow Warriors of the Empire. It was approximately one year ago that a group of Klingon players embarked on a mission. Their goal was to bring together a community of people who shared a love of the Bird of Prey. You can find the original idea here (and its described in detail by fine folks in much better detail here):

http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1185430/a-thought-experiment/p1

Hitting the queues with BoPs was loads of fun, and we were hoping to grow with time. Eventually we were planning to do some recordings, and organize PVP runs as well. Sadly, all good things end. One by one, the members of our little community shrunk. I too left the game, though less by choice and more by the whole Mac client debacle. But after several months away I have returned, and I hope to pick up the pieces and move this project forward. So without further ado, here's the qualifications for this:

•KDF or KDF-Rom ONLY

•Must fly an endgame Raider (T5 –> T5-U, T6) with battle cloak OR be planning on flying one once they reach endgame. Current list of Endgame Raiders is as follows:

KDF
--B'rel/Fleet B'rel
--Fleet Norgh
--Hoh'sus/Fleet Hoh'sus
--Kor
--D4x

Cross-Faction
--Na'kuhl Tadaari
--Temporal Ouroboros
--Breen Plesh Brek
--Herald Baltim
--Kazon

•Must be a team player and willing to participate and assist others in the pursuit of BoP perfection

If anyone is interested in helping start this up again, message me either ingame or here and I'll get the ball rolling.

Music in STO - composed for it or shopped/free source picked or a mix of both?

I'm curious. I was under the impression that STO has its own composer but recently hear that awesome serene New Romulus theme in an entirely different game & context which afaik predates the NR xpack by a year.

Klinzhai vs Gorkon

Qapla! So next month I will be able to afford a free T6 ship. I'm wanting to update my KDF Sci officer. Currently she is flying the K't'inga battle cruiser retrofit. While this ship still can keep up with newer ships, it's sorely lacking in the science department. I've been trying to keep the TOS era look but I really need to get a better ship for her.

I've been looking into either the Klinzhai or the Gorkon science ships. Does anyone have any first hand information on using these ships? Will I be able to reskin either one to the D7? If not, I'm still going to get one of these. I'm leaning heavily towards the Klinzhai class.

Okay, the guys in the Bird of Prey League (that's a little community organized effort down in the Klingon Ghetto-aka Klingon threads in 'feedback'), feeling the need to spread the joy that is Raider Flying to a wider audience (an effort inspired by Cryptic's constant tries to get Feddies into Raiders no doubt) Opened their PvE challenge club to Feds about a week ago.

If this is news to any of you who might've been interested, they've closed the doors to you Feddies due to lack of interest on your part.

Just...so you know this happened, it was and is a thing, people getting together in what are often deemed the flimsiest non-shuttle ships in the game, and kicking the **** out of all that content so very many lockbox DPS Warriors have to have a Scimitar or Partigen-sci-ship or some other massive gimmick to even complete.

Now, if Interest were shown to the fine organizers who generously offered to open the doors to you Blue-side types, I'm sure they could be persuaded to let you in.

aw hell, who am I kidding? nevermind, return to your tasks...nothing to see down there...

Need cannon advise - Xbox

$

I only started sto about 3 mos ago and could use some advice.

I love my t6 defiant. On the forward weapons, I'm using single cannons on weapon slot 1 and 4, torpedo in slot 2, and quad phaser cannon on slot 3.

What I like about the single cannons is the 180 degree arc, which allows shooting while banking. I have read a lot of negative comments about the single cannons, citing the 180 degree arc doesn't compensate for the reduced dps. According to the weapon stats, the dps of duel (not heavy, I don't like the 2 sec recharge) is like 30 points more, not actually double damage. I have thought that approx 30 points more damage isn't much of an advantage vs 4 times the firing arch.

Now that we can make our own weapons, I've read it's possible to make dual cannons with better than 45 degree arc. I don't know how or if it's even possible on console.

What is the community's advice between dual vs single cannons and WHY? Please post the reasoning for your pov so I can understand better.

Hello,
From the Dec 1 patch notes: Solanae Dyson Sphere: Resolved an issue with the "Paleontologist" perk in the Solanae Dyson Sphere that was preventing it from being rewarded.

Can we get any info on this one? Ground? Space? Do we have to redo something?

Regards,

As far as I can tell, all of the manuals are ground only, are any of them worth purchasing for my away team? Same goes for my captain- I have toons in all 3 branches and factions so I'm not restricted by profession if any of them are must-have.

The Foundry for Star Trek Online is returning later today. We're still running some tests, so editing and review functions won't be available, but you can return to your missions.

We would love to get some feedback as you're playing through - how is everything working? Please use this thread to discuss.

This has now happened three times in the last ten minutes. I switch characters and click select all mail then click delete and bam! crash to desktop. Is it just me? Cause last time it did this I verified the files and it didn't seem to help. Hopefully the next patch will address the issue. Anyone else having this issue?

[Minor Bug] Can get more than 1 BOFF on New Romulus

If you're in an instanced mission on New Romulus and do a PVE queue, when you come back you'll be outside on the surface of New Romulus with all 4 BOFFs.

Don't think it could really be an exploit per se but thought I should mention it.

[PC] [Klingon Allied Romulan] Night of the Comet, Unable to Complete

I've been ranking up a new Klingon allied Romulan captain & despite countless times I have done Night of the Comet, the final objective will not complete. All I can to is try to avoid B'vat & not get him killed. I have waited around the map for 10 minutes while doing this & nothing. I've also tried completing the objective within the indicated area on the map as as disabling B'vat in that area in the first place. Nothing. Please fix.

[Camera Bug] Temporal Dreadnought

Most 'cutscenes' that involve the external view of your ship are buggy with the temporal dreadnought. It intersects with the camera and so half o the geometry is from the interior of the model. Not a big deal but ugly.

During these missions, you will be playing the role of your counterparts from the Mirror Universes.

Mirror Wars 1 takes place after the events of the original Mirror Universe missions from the Cardassian Arc, which were removed when season 11 arrived. If you are unfamiliar with them, fear not I have brought them back with the foundry.
Mirror Wars 2 takes place after the Iconian War during the Terran Empire's invasion of the Federation lead by Admiral Leeta.

-Redux- Tear of the Prophets
-Redux- Crack in the Mirror
-Redux- The Other Side

(Note: These above three missions were created by Cryptic Studios, all I've done is brought them back, and tried to 'spice' them up a bit.)

Mirror Wars 1

After the destruction of the I.S.S. Molly and the death of Captain O'Brien, you find yourself stuck in the universe controlled by the Federation. After weeks of venturing through Federation space alone, luck is in the air; you come across a friendly distress beacon on the edge of Cardassian Space.

Do what you must to get home, Captain.

Mirror Wars 2

You are an inquisitor of the Terran Empire. It is your duty to identify threats, both external and internal to the Terran Empire and deal with them.

At 21:31 a distress signal was picked up from the other realm. The signal was that used by the Terran Empire. At 21:45 the signal went dark. The Terran Empire is preparing to send a task force into the other universe to investigate this signal.

Join them, Inquisitor. Give the Federation a reason to fear the Terran Empire.

Long live the Empire!

Gingerbread men and Winter Invasion STF

Is there a trick to getting Gingerbread men from the Mysterious Box reward from the Winter Invasion STF?

I have opened many Boxes but only received two Gingerbread men this whole time.

If it is totally RNG (random number generator) based, perhaps next year give a choice of Winter currency items OR a gingerbread man of your choice (for us completionists). :)

Writing challenge/cameos: Stocking the Ibi library in SSF2-4

$

Greetings people of this particular part of the internet,

As you may be aware from my talk of nothing else, there's a number of Starfleet Security missions on the way. In the finale, Refraction, there is an Ibi library in the main Administrative complex which I'm hoping to fill with stuff.

What kind of stuff? Well, given that it's two missions down the pipeline I haven't put too much thought into it but I've been itching for a new collaborative project and here's what looks like a good opportunity (in the same vein as Starfarertheta's memory alpha :)). Specifically, I hereby invite any and all people in sight of this post to come up with encyclopedic entries of things, places, people, or events out there in the STO universe (Iffar included). I'm thinking these could be written from a general point of view, the point of view of the Ibi (the recurring species from my first mission), or from a given commentator (ie. character) who would accompany the dialog. There is a severe limit on costumes with this project, so I may only be able to fit one or two of these direct character cameos in (first come basis.)


Ibi backstory/reminder
The Ibi are a humanoid species that have spent the last 800 or so years in social stagnation. They have a few trade links out the rest of the galaxy and a number of small colonies but otherwise they're not particularly involved in the interstellar affairs of the galaxy. The Ibi have a tendency to indulge in the aesthetic point of view, even up to the point of aristocratic snobbery, but they can still be very easy going and objective too.
CmmingYXEAYNQtO.jpg


The current time frame on this project is: by the time I get around to finishing SSF2-4 which won't be for a few months. So there's plenty of time to work on stuff, and no immediate limits on how many entries I can throw in (besides the tight costume budget and dialog readability.)

And to make this just a wee bit more interesting, I'll mail a Lock Box Key to whomever comes up with my favorite entry (myself naturally excluded.)

CnLKUloWgAA8oOh.jpg:large
Note: this table isn't actually a library but that space isn't as polished as I'd like yet so it's what I've got for the environment. :P

Shadow play mission with fed

Well I'm finally found a game where the developers openly cheat. In all the Star Trek games I have played through the years if it be pc or console, have I came across a Romulan Warbird that holds you in a tractor beam and blow you to kingdom come. Now I've been a fan of Trek since the grand young age of 7 ( I'm 54 now) and in all the Treks I've watched, never has a enemy ship been able to tractor a ship with its shields up and start blowing the heck out of it with heavy plasma tropedos and disruptors!! I've got a Galaxy class starship and I can't beat this Shadow play mission because of the BS of the Warbird tractoring my ship and destroying it!! Cheating, ruddy cheating and explotation of the player and total disreguard of the trek universe and fair play. I will not spend mony on a game that cheats, Arc you can stick it where the sun don't shine!
