RMC code in arc, not sure if it still works and all got claimed already
First for network administrator incompetence

did anyone get the answer about rmc?
the stream is laggy like fuck for me, so it froze right when he was about to say what kind of unlock it is, then when it resumed it was already after it.

bonniekin is probably taken
>>81657616
even if the chances are really small, if i get this DR ship pack i will punch a small child
it cant be. i cant have a RMC.
i cant even get into the game to check it out. but arc said i got something.
its..
its dragon dildoes isnt it?
>STO is SAG-affiliated now
>>81656163
Some weird message that doesn't apply to STO. It'll be in the c-store somewhere. Under unlocks or something, I think. And it's account wide.
I've wanted one of these fuckers for about 3 years now.
>>81657891
iktf. Just having a 1-in-3500 chance is making me nervous.
i cant log in
whats happening
>>81658346
it's definitely possible. i won a mouse 2 streams ago.
>tfw i live in europe so instead i'll probably get chump change in zen. probably not even 1k.
>>81658167
Once you start using SAG talent you become a SAG house. At least it means that the VO from Viscous Cycle won't happen again. That shit is fucking rough.
so there's probably no way to change the quality in order to maybe not get so much lag
>>81658310
nice.
>>81658509

oh so it can still be a box of dragon dildoes.
>>81658562
durs a rift to narmal SPACE nearby!
>>81658801
Well, what's already in will stay in. They just can't use non-union actors going forward. That's probably the main reason they were saying Jeri Ryan was "too expensive" a few months ago. PWE seems to really enjoy STO (and how much money it makes them) and probably bumped their budget to allow for it. But going forward we'll probably have less VO in general.
>>81658512
Eh, I'd take zen over the mouse. Congrats either way dude. Lucky as fuck.
"so we can't see the lair explode?"

>>81659790
It's clean, and you don't ever have to have it open. I keep it disabled most of the time and only open it for stream giveaways.
>>81659853
its pretty much the only reason why to open it, sto works without ark.
>>81659853
yeah. you can run the game easily with steam version.
get the game off steam, then go into steam folder and save a link to the launcher on your desktop.
skip all wrapper shits, use the game in its clean form.
>>81659853
i actually have a RMC, after all this time. thanks for being helpful sto friends
>>81659790
>not putting arc on a secondary computer just for these situations
How do you even live?
>>81659853
Ain't clean at all.
While I've (as of last night checked about six times over) managed to be sure of: my own computer is squeaky clean, even IE somehow, and yet clicking in the arc browser opens some random adsite instead of what it's supposed to half the time.
There's crap in arc itself, though ARC itself doesn't appear to try to spread or be malware in and of itself.
>>81660131
I've noticed just now that I cannot connect to the account server if I start the game through such a link without at least steam itself running (it works if steam's running, but not if steam and arc are both completely off AND I try to start things through the linke).
>>81660439
well, i dunno then. it works just fine for me, and has been ever since i abandoned arc.
>>81660439
The server's down, fuckhead.
>[Dwight]: We have so many IT guys here. Too much BO.
>>81660281
PEBKAC, not caused by ARC.
>>81660567
Well that's one thing they don't warn you about without the launchers first, eh?
Although I had the same problem as >>81660439 last week when steam was down for a few hours. Fine if you're already connected and in-game, though, mind. Just don't shut down the game while everything else is dead around it.

>Oberth
got that already years ago for 200 zen(or c-points back then)
>>81662065
It works, they're just retarded and make 500-redemption codes for a chat of over 3500 people.
They're fucking retarded.
>>81662135
took me about 1 5 seconds to enter the code, but it said i had to be loged in to sto or some shit, wile its fucking down. such bullshit

Gets me first place rewards in every stf
These number limited codes are ass though. Should be till the stream end like RMC
>>81662664
Or even just double the capacity, or just make it fucking work like the Oberth.
Did anyone get that one? I redeemed it as fast as I did the other one and I didn't get it.

Where are you guys even getting these codes? is there a stream going on?
>>81664270
>>81664271
Thanks I actually googled it up.
Only RMC worked. Section 31 uniform expired, the third one displays an error, and I need to be logged in for the Oberth.
>>81664484

This is the most tedious shit I have ever had to slog through in this game. I like the nifty new abilities and characteristics the delta quadrant's enemy factions have, but it wears off real quick when it feels like I've been fighting the same vaawdurr cruiser for 5 minutes and I see that I've still got 2 more satellite outposts to clear.

>9km away from the nearest cube
>Take 78k through full shields from high yield 3
>Respawn in 30...
>>81684727
You sure you're not getting lanced by the bger ships?
>>81684821
the bigger ships uses torpedoes
whatever the fuck spheres uses, its not targetable. it might be the same torpedo in a non-heavy variant, but would not justify doing the same if not more damage that a gate's invisitorp.
its some sort of tractor beam that doesnt slow down, it just eats hull
>>81684821
Nah I checked the combat log (if there's a way to get what's beyond the scrolling limit back I could post it) and it was specifically a high yield 3 that did about 229k before shields and armor.
Lance hits are about 200k+ with the shields up, and it does state lance in the logs.
>>81685924
So they have a better attack that most cubes
id swear it was a aux power shit.
>>81685924
High Yield plasmas are targetable torpedoes. You just have to shoot it down or FAW/Scatter the general area and it'll never get to you.
>>81686696
>I've never done an STF
>>81686629
Just to specify, the unimatrix ships weren't warped in yet.
These are tactical cubes firing off the invisitorps.
>>81686696
Borg have a habit of firing invisible plasma torpedoes that can one hit just about anything.
>>81686696
No see that's where the problem lies.
These are High Yield IIIs that cannot be targetted. Nor seen.
So you don't know it's coming
You can't target or tab through to it, not that you know it's coming
You can't fire to destroy it, not that you could target it in the first place... not that you know it's coming
You just explode out of nowhere, unsure what the fuck happened because whatever you were shooting continues filling up the log with individual beam and cannon hits and plasma fire ticks.
>>81687113
Just about.
They deal between 220 and 250 thousand kinetic. This gets quartered if your shields are up, of course, leaving you with somewhere around 65 to 75 thousand damage.
All but the tankiest builds of the tankiest ships are basically vaporized in one hit, and that's assuming they were at 100% shield/hull.
My destroyer for example has 52k hull and about 13k shield. A 65k hit may or may not annihilate me if everything's going great, depending on the exact niggling little numbers in the tens and ones columns.
A 66k after quartering? BOOM. Even brace for impact may not be enough against the higher range of those hits.
And these are torpedoes you don't see coming, that you do not know are coming, and have no inkling of timing or moment as to when they hit to work from.
>>81687556
Just use the 2 set Aegis bonus and tank it at 0 damage.
>>81687847
Aegis tanks the first hit but doesn't care what hit it is. If you've taken one hit off a shuttle's single burst of FAW as it came out of a hangar and got annihilated, your aegis is on cooldown.
Generally if you're targeted by something, they'll at least plink you with something before a torpedo gets there.
A good (but far less lethal) example is those little plinks of 12 on your shield you'll occasionally eat in Azure Nebula, that mostly just ensure you aren't too easily killing the tractors on that falchion in mid fight.
>>81688561
>not using EM to ram an incoming deathball aimed at someone else.
>>81688695
You CAN, but why don't you just blast it out of the sky for them instead?

No, no, no, see it was so bad he deserves to be marched through the Mars Shipyards main space station, put into a shuttle airlock, then dumped into space because it was that bad.
>>81700387
No, you beam them into space and then into and out of the airlock on a repeating 1 second cycle so they eventually explode.
>>81701419
What about if you almost let them suffocate, then beam them out, but instead of rematerializing them in safety just leave their pattern in the buffer to degrade into nothing.

That said, anyone know, perhaps from extensive parsing, what ARE the best uses of HY and Spread between... we'll say the following:

>Hyper Torpedo
>Enhanced Bio-Neural Torpedo
>Fleet Plasma Torpedo
>Gravitic Torpedo
>Rapidfire Transphasic torpedo
As far as I can tell the best use of spread is gravitics, but high yield the numbers are all over. I hear the borg plasma bolt far outdoes any other heavy torpedo, but the tooltip puts it well under the output of a graviton or bio-neural heavy.
>>81711748
Well, omega's been nerfed and re-tooled a ton so I don't expect anything honest from that torp.
Hyper torp is great on spread, good on high yield. Personally recommend spread, but go with what you like.
I don't think the bio-neural is affected by spread or high yield at all. I dunno, I've never seen it split. I've seen tricobalts split to 2-3 torps on spread, but have yet to see bio-neural do same.
Grav torp is goddamned amazing on high yield and great on spread.
Rapidfire transphasic is ok for a free weapo
>>81709291
he used the romulan intel ship, POORLY, and you got to take a look at it and some others. not any better then what you see in the blogs though. and no guardian or dauntless this stream, but probably for the next.
>>81712056
if you think the grav torp is good, you wont believe this new quantum in the delta set. 2k more base damage, and on hit an application of ~1500 rad damage to hull in a 3 range aoe. spread only fires as many torps as HY does with it, but each torp applies the rad damage.
>>81712329
Yeah I haven't had a chance to test it yet, I'm thinking of having one of my characters invest heavily in the delta space gear, haven't decided which. Might be my new 50 vulcan engie, >>81712056 since she's got xindi phasers for now.
Any speculation of what the new lockbox will be? What ship it will be contained
>>81712056
I can guarantee the bio-neural spreads.
It's a very bright, very slightly yellowish green torp, a more solid 'blob' than the usual hazy cloud-like torpedo effects.
High Yield fires a single, bigger blob, but unlike regular heavy torpedoes it acts normally (non-targetable) and explodes into a big green... splatmark?
The spread fires multiple biotorps at multiple ships. No idea how many in either case, but I've logged 8 hits on one cruiser in one blast, though there was nothing else in the firing cone at the time.
>>81712721
Ah I must have been thinking of the bio-neural from the universal console/weapon pack. The rep one I've heard nothing but great things for.
>>81713145
Oh fuck you're right I've been saying neural instead of molecular.
It's Bio-Molecular, the counter-command set piece.

A HORTA in a mobulai.
>>81714617
Mobulai is sexy
If the narcine didn't launch them im not sure i would have kept it
Is trading in five white doffs for random greens worth it
>>81716204
should also say that I'm at the cap, so it's either this or cashing them in for fleet creds
>>81716204
Fuck no.
Well it would be okay but it costs dil.
Instead, feed your white doffs to your fleet project meatgrinders or rep fighter projects, and get greens for like 20-50k on the exchange if you absolutely must have a specific type or ability combination (which eventually you will 'do need' when optimizing).
>>81716452
>rep fighter projects
what're these?
Can I be an intel ship too? I have tron lines and everything already!
>>81716527
Carriers (of all sorts) have hangars. Their hangar bays are filled with fighters, shuttles, drones, probes or even frigates (for the really big shit like Vo'Quvs).
These are equipment like anything else, and come in blue, purple or ultra-purple varieties.
However, they're a little more powerful and a little more expensive than just some rep beam bank. Getting "advanced" (v.rare) fighters requires a fuckton of dilithium and fleet marks. Getting Elite (the good shit) units is even worse. The Elite Scorpions for example require Tier 5 (maybe before, pretty sure it's 5) romulan reputation, and will cost you fucktons of dilithium, something like 30 white tactical officers, many hundreds of marks and all that shit.
On the other hand, let's take Delta Flyers for example. Each gives you two wings of two.
Regulars have
>Phaser beam array
>Micro photon torpedo launcher
>Tachyon beam I
Elites give you
>Phaser Beam Array
>Transphasic Torpedo Launcher (a proper one)
>Tachyon Beam III
>>81717032
Not enough illogical holes in the middle of the ship.
Go on, scram,shipfu.
>>81717767
>a little more expensive
100,000 credits and like 40,000 dilith aint a little, and you have to get two if you have a "proper" carrier :(
>>81717767
oh, carrier items
I'll probably just dump them on the fleet projects
>>81717767 cont
Same with Scorpions, where going elite adds dual plasma cannons to the 'plasma pulse cannon' it had, and teaches them High Yield I.
Keep in mind this shit all adds up. A single fighter item in a hangar gives you six fighters at a time (launched in wings of 3 every ~20s), EACH of which now has an extra set of dual cannons and a high yield torp ability.
This shit doth add up fast.

Never again. I only bump hulls with space stations now.
