New STF Gear | STOked 109

chris — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:38:22 +0000

The team takes a look at the new STF gear, and the current gear’s changes. Plus Chris shares his 2012 STO predictions, and plays back a few from 2011, find out how they did!

This will be the last STOked produced for the foreseeable future. The show will be going on hiatus.

I plan to take another look at things, perhaps as the new featured episodes are near release, or something really exciting that I want to share with you all. And I will continue to monitor news and the STO community closely.

Check out the live stream on Saturdays, from time to time I plan to do live game play with the chat room during the hiatus. Following my G+ or Twitter feeds would be the fastest way to find out when those happen.

And finally, thank you so much for watching. If we make our return, I hope you’ll be there to tune in!

Show Notes:

2011 PREDICTIONS from STOked 63

Jeremy:

Cryptic will acknowledge the positive impact the Foundry can have on their game, and embrace it by appointing a point of contact (or team) that will focus on publicity for the best-made and highly-reviewed player missions on a regular basis. Maybe a secondary weekly spotlight?
We will see an announcement toward the end of the year for a Romulan expansion. Including the new faction, 3–4 new sectors complete with PvE stories. The unique Romulan mechanic will be “espionage” and will be similar to Fed DXP.
More voice overs and cut scenes for episode content.

Chris:

Voice Overs + Cut Scenes (Demo record fly through)
More Star Trek
Slow Down
UGC will snowball into requiring a more robust out-of-game experience to discover and discuss new player created content.

2012 Predictions:

The possibility of failure lumes over STO. The price of failure may be too low.
The Foundry make it or break it time. DStahl has a big task on his hands. .
SW:TOR will help STO find it’s identity. SPACE COMBAT.
The next feature episode will be revealed to the community with the biggest fan fare yet.
D’angelo is replaced? The lack of transparency will turn the community even more angry. Anyone who takes the figure head spot, and does not chant “content, content, content” they will be flamed.
Foundry created episodes will take a larger role in the game. Cryptic will acknowledge them, and make efforts towards driving players towards them. After they get over having to admit they need the players to help them create content.
Crafting revamp replaces the current “vendorised” system with something spectacular and player skill based.
Additional writing staff, preferably with Star Trek experience, will be hired (possibly temporarily).
Cryptic will assign / hire a staff member to produce content using the Foundry toolset on a regular basis
STO will face it’s own “NGE” crisis and will only survive it by shifting focus to delivering content rather than game systems

Community Feedback

New STF Gear Sets:

Set feedback thread

Borg set (3 set items for 5 edc each from a vendor, console from the mission ‘Assimilation’).
Shield – The most regenerative shield of all the sets along with the lowest shield capacity and has a bonus resistance to plasma damage attacks to the shields by 15%. A bonus to shield power improves shield regen and resistance.

Engine – one of the slower impulse engines but a standard agility and a power bonus to engines, the greatest bonus of this engine is the ability for transwarp speed in sector space (minimum speed of warp 14).

Deflector geared towards (in order of magnitude) – Resistance – (geared towards greater hull boost, moderate restistance to shield/energy/movement debuff and a boost to auxillary power.
Hull Strength – change to an offensive debuff like power drain or exotic damage? Make it more offensive/adaptive deflector?
Resistance to shield and energy drain abilities
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Knock, repel and slow abilities
Aux power (improve aux based abilities)

Aegis – a craftable set
Shields – highest capacity (for the feds) covarient shields with one of the lowest regenerations but grants a boost to shield power and shield strength.

Engines – geared towards speed and defense (performing better at higher engine speeds).

Deflector – Shield defense (geared towards shield strength, buffs and resistance to debuffs and a small boost to shield regen/resistance).
Shield strength – Boost to placate/confuse? Make it a more evasive deflector?
Shield repair/healing
Resistance to energy/shield drain abilities
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Shield power (improves shield regen and shield resistance)

MACO – FED only
Shield – while the capacity is lower than a covarient, resilient shields regenerate slightly better and allow less damage to impact the hull. In addition for each attack you receive you gain a stacking 10 second bonus of +1 to all power settings. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – while a tiny bit slower than the Aegis engines there is no bonus to having a high engine power. In addition, ships in sector space can travel at 9.99 (so we aren’t all going to turn in to amphibian beings ) and in the eventuality that your engines are disabled, you’ll still have some maneuverabilty.

Deflector – Defense orientated (geared towards hull strength, shield strength buffs, resistance to movement debuffs and transfering power between subsystems).
Hull strength
Shield repair/healing
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Shield strength
Power transfer rate

Omega Force – FED/KDF
Shield – A less regenerative capacity version of the Borg shield. In addition though for each attack you receive you gain a bonus 5 flight speed and 30% turn rate for 5 seconds. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – The fastest engine available to both factions and one of the most agile with a greater bonus when using a high engine power.

Deflector – Debuff orientated (equally passive and damaging debuff boost with a small boost to cloak detection and shield repair).
Cloak detection and sensor debuff resistance
Resistance to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects
Resistance to energy/shield drain abilities Change to hold, disable, repel, knock and slow effects? Make it a more ambush/hit and run deflector?
Improved accuracy
Damage from ‘exotic’ attacks

KHG – KDF only
Shield – the highest shield capacity covarient shield and one of the lowest regenerations, however, there is a 25% chance when hit by energy damage to debuff the enemy’s accuracy by 25% for 10 seconds and placate for 1 second. Shield grants a standard 20% plasma damage resistance to the shields.

Engine – the slowest engine overall but the most agile especially at low power levels with an added bonus of being able to restart disabled engines after only 1 second and a flat bonus to all power levels.

Deflector – strength and offense orientated (geared towards boosting hull strength and offensive debuffs with a bonus to transferring power).
Hull strength
Damage from ‘exotic’ attacks
Knock, repel and slow abilities
Power transfer
Improved cloak

INTRO/NEWS

REMINDER: We will NOT be doing an episode next week. Thanksgiving weekend is nutso, and we ain’t got time.

When we return the following week, we’ll be doing a “Gift Giving Guide” for the Trek fan in your life.

More info from last week’s mission reward: Ophidian Cane
* Can be transformed into an Ophidian Snake, makes it more powerful.
* Stand within your Triolic Pattern Enhancer and use it.

Additional Easter Egg rumored to be hidden within the alcohol puzzle
* If you drink the Nerve Tonic as a female captain, it makes you do a dance.
* Also rumored to work with female boffs.

Changes to last mission (must’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback?):
* KDF now remain closer to the comet fragments (you can no longer kite them away)
— This makes the end combat MORE difficult, but they’ve also said that a new alternative method will open up if you fail twice.
* Due to complaints about folks missing the rings on the slingshot, an autopilot option will open up if you fail twice.

Season 3 Tribble Updates:
* KDF Crafting fixed (you’re able to get anomalies below your level now)
* Many, many, many more Replay rewards
* Sit in your Captain’s chair. And EMOTE!
* Traffic Control replaced with your boff/helmsman
* PvP points given to shield healers
* Fleet Names are now displayed
** Not mentioned, but the “Barn Doors” in ESD have been changed/shrunk

Design the next Enterprise contest
– US Only (doh!)
– We wanna see your ships! Send your creations to the usual email address, or post on jupitercolony.com

Big C-Store Sale coming up this weekend!
* Will not include items added in November (Enterprise bundle)

NEWS:

Top news: Craig Zincievich steps down as Exec Prod of STO. DStahl to fill his shoes. We’ll have an interview w/ Stahl later in this show, to cover some news about the transition, and what this means for STO. So don’t panic!

Season 2.0 should be on Tribble & ready for testing as of Tuesday, some new shiney things that should make it in: https://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=161026 (lots of screens)

If the full patch arrives, here are some of the major points:

– Level cap raised to 51

– Ship interiors

– Lvl 46-51 sector

– Klingon PvE missions

– Fed Diplomatic Corps

– Fleet Logos

To encourage testing: Another chance to get a Tribble of Borg (and more?) coming in a few weeks.

– The ability is currently a standard in almost everyone’s build, because it is TOO good of a tool.

– The ideas in this thread are only IDEAS to balance the ability, but a change WILL come.

https://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2805877#post2805877

– Make it feel more vast (tighter grids, darker tones)

– Make the ships stand out more (better lighting and selection of background colors)

INTERVIEW:

Say HELLO to the new Exec Producer: Daniel Stahl

MAIL:

Bridge Officer improvement responses

Smuzzle: Give each boff a specialization within their profession that results in a passive buff during ground combat when combined with other specializations. Examples include Biologist (Science) + Weapon Manufacturer (Engineer) + Helmsman (Tactical) = 5% increase in quality of weapon equipment dropped by enemies.

Dr_Drake: Be able to chat with your officers on your bridge/interiors. Could just be 1-liners, chosen from a list that would include responses based on rank, profession, race and earned accolades.

Brock_Lee: Allow passive feats to be advanced.

Micky Ward: Loyalty mechanics, driven by utilization and interaction w/ the Captain (both on missions, and via social mini-games on your ship like Chess & Poker), which would have a % effect on all abilities & recharge timers (disloyal crew perform poorly).

Scaryguy: It all comes down to writing. The current system could work, if the missions were just better written. (Everyone would have “the same crew” but we would at least care about them more.)

Leviathan99: https://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=157357

My Idea: Upon reaching Admiral, allow us to promote a boff to Captain and convert that boff into a CHARACTER starting in a Tier 4 ship. These ‘second generation’ characters would need an incentive, like an extra Trait.

Multiple Requests for:

* Position assignments (Chief Engineer, First Officer, Security Chief, etc)

— Rikturscale recommends that each position would have a requirement based on what your commissioned officer lineup is (e.g., Chief Medical officer would require you to have a total of 3 commissioned science officers. No chief without indians.)

— Rikturscale cont’d: Each would also have an ability that would unlock. (e.g., Chief Science Officer would be capable of enhancing sensors once per hour — each anomaly in the area would have a chance of either doubling/splitting, or triggering enemy encounters that were “on the edge of sensor range.”)

* Temporary or Permanent removal of Boffs, via kidnap, injury, death or reassignment.

— Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

* Separate missions for your boffs

— Storyline driven, based on a selection of ‘traits’ or based on the innate ground traits already given.

— Include the ability to play AS YOUR BOFF, instead of the Captain.

NEXT QUESTION:

Send in your ideas to revamp Sector Space (or replace? or remove?!)
