When it launched it was Darker and Edgier than the Star Trek Novel Verse. ![]() Interesting, retroactively, STO is gaining legitimacy in this regard.Basically it's the same as any other MMO. Rifts have formed within the game as vocal Klingon players clamour for content, among other issues. Rifts have formed over whether it's a credible addition to the Star Trek universe, or simply a flash in the pan and not long for this world.TL DR - Get elite fleet+story gear/ crafted (better with Pen) and reputation gear based around play style and weapon flavor. ![]() If you don't have a character with level 15+ crafting see if a fleet mate or friend can craft you up some purple weapons (or elite fleet gear if possible) as well as mission items that give weapon bonuses. A common one I've been seeing still is Antiproton for the bonus crit factor. Then pick a flavor of weapon to use with it. Ground wise I personally Love the Na'kul Temporal Operative Set due to secondary ability of shield as well as bonus to crit chance and severity for 2-piece set.įigure out what type of ship you want to use at 65 (tac/engi/sci based) and what play style suits it best (cannons on an escort for example). Get really boring after the first run or two since you are required to wait for conversation prompts. Outside of reputations, one of the better all around survival sets for early on is the Sol Defence Set from the mission Midnight. There are various different Bellum consoles as well as Pax (increase ship HP) for tac, engi, and sci slots. For example you can get a which increases maximum Shield HP as well as Crit chance. Some of the best consoles you can get for your builds right now are coming from the new Discovery reputation. The list goes on, and becomes really long once you start including reputation and possibly fleet gear, as well. If you love using shield drains, you might want to go for the "Stormbound" misssion's space set (deflector, shield + impulse engine). Similarly, the mission "Sunrise" with the Quantum phase set is basically a must-triple if you're a F2P phasers player, you'll probably still want to get the torpedo if you run a torpedo boat, and it's pretty pointless otherwise. If you don't do disruptors, the mission is pointless from a build optimization pov. ![]() If you go for disruptor cannons, you should still absolutely get the console and probably the torpedo, too. If you wwant to go for disruptor beams, you absolutely have to run that 3 times for the full Entoiled Technology set (beam, console + disruptor toprpedo). For space, you need to settle on a play style (and thus beams, cannons or maybe torpedos, as well as further details like whether you want to use shield drain a lot) and an energy type (unless you're going for torpedos, obviously).Īs a prime example, take the mission "Echoes of Light". What missions you should run for their drops depends on where exactly you want to get. If you don't have the T6 Interceptor, that Bajoran set is misssing a piece, and tbh it's not a particularly good set unless perhaps if you're running a core energy type (phaser, disruptor or plasma). Level up your crafting skills, build the equipment you want (which will most likely be just the weapons since everything else you can get from reputations in a better way) and then upgrade it with crafting upgrade materials. Besides, as the "new guy" most fleets wont allow you to buy stuff from their store since its theoretically limited how much can be bought. ![]() There you can buy things from the fleet store which is almost the best stuff you can get, BUT that takes a ton of dillithium and fleet credits (you earn those by donating towards fleet projects). Second option is joining a fleet with sufficient projects completed. You'll get lots of sets and also normal gear from them which is of a pretty high quality. If you dont want to spend a riddiculus amount of real life money on the game, the best way to get a good equipment is leveling up your reputations. You wont be able to grind enough ec to buy the good stuff within a reasonable amount of time. Dont bother with energy credits, sell everything you dont need and you are good. I myself came back just a few days ago after an 18 month break, but as far as i am aware things havent really changed that much.
