Jem'Hadar dreadnought carriers turn really, really slowly but having 4 advanced Jem'Hadar attack ships makes up for that. .gif)

I was building up a fair stack of Lobi so thought I'd just make use of the fact that it was a guaranteed 10 Lobi or a possibility of another JHAS so bought a bunch more Fleet DOFF packs to get me to 800 and bought it, ended up getting a couple of purple XII consoles in the packs too.

Not sure my preferred armaments on it at the moment, beams are ok as its turn rate (even with a 30% bonus RCS fitted) isn't great but the temptation to use Beam Fire At Will just gets me into bother more often than not. May go for some cannons as the 90 degree fire arc should be ok, using dual cannons seems completely impractical on this boat as getting them on target was painful.
One weird thing happened during a round of Cure, I had Fleet Maneuver Gamma kick in, which shouldn't be possible as I've got the wrong Dominion console, you need the on from a JHEC.This space left intentionally blank.

You'll level up pretty quickly just doing missions but if you want a really good XP boost, do Mirror Universe incursions when it's on as you can rack up a lot of it doing them. Probably best not to spend any real money on anything until you hit max level, anything bought before then will end up not getting used so it's a bit of a waste.
I've just started dabbling in this game, anything in particular I should keep in mind?
Also the best thing to do with your ship weapons is pick one damage type (say phasers in Federation at the start) at a time and use tactical consoles to boost their damage output. Using a wide variety of energy types may look pretty (the Rainbow Beam Boat) but you'll be less effective. Plus people tend to laugh at RBBs.

because of the way RCS consoles work they are pretty much useless on slow turning ships and way better on already fast turning ships

from the sto forums
The fastest turning Starfleet vessels (my apologies to the KDF, but I have not tested Klingon vessels yet) are the Tactical Escort and Tactical Escort Retrofit. They have a Base Turn Rate of 17 degrees per second.
The best RCS consoles currently available give +35% turn rate.
(17 - 3) * 35%
= 14 * 35%
= 4.9 degrees per second
The slowest turning Starfleet vessels are the Galaxy-class based ships (Exploration Cruiser, Exploration Cruiser Retrofit, and Dreadnought Cruiser). They have a base turn rate of 6 degrees per second. That 3 degree per second penalty before calculating the bonus literally halves the expected return of an RCS Accelerator.
(6 - 3) * 35%
= 3 * 35%
= 1.05 degrees per second -

Registered 11 years agoIt did make a bit of a difference, I didn't feel like I was pushing my hand through my keyboard while trying to turn! I'm used to escorts so it'll feel like an oil tanker to me.
I've got to stand off a bit more really, I blew up three times in an instance of SB24 because I got far too close and ended up swamped, still came third though. This space left intentionally blank.

Registered 7 years agoRight, this is going to sound weird but does anyone have any tulaberries (the +hp item rather than the Doff commodity)? Need 2 for the chef Doff missions and there aren't any reasonably priced ones on the exchange last I looked. -

Registered 11 years agoI think I've got a whole load of them, they were one of the drops from the operational asset crates from the Fleet support DOFF packs, I'll pop a couple in the post.
In other news I managed to solo a private SB24 (level 49 rather than 50) in my JHDC, took about an hour and I blew up about 10 times but it was nice to come first for a change!
edit: ah no, only the DOFF tulaberries I'm afraid.

Registered 7 years agoWhat happened to "No 3rd Faction until the KDF have content"? Are they also bringing in more KDF stuff?
Still, I would quite like a new Romulan alt so will love that Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.

Registered 11 years agoIt looks like KDF is level 1-50 as well now so that will hopefully be a big boost in content.

Registered 5 years agoI'm pretty hyped about the Romulans, enough to bring me back to playing the game. I don't suppose they'll give us a free character slot to try them out?

Registered 11 years agoI'm just wondering how the faction dynamics are going to work, the Federation and Klingons have both been working with New Romulus so it's not like they're going to be an enemy to either side. I assume the Tholians and possibly the Iconians are the focus of most Romulan stuff.This space left intentionally blank.

Registered 6 years agoGot the e-mail about this. Looking good, can't wait to give it a try. STO has come on leaps recently. It's very good for a free mmo. Although having the perks I had when I paid helps I guess.Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.
