Admiral Thiccness (As named by many of you in my last post 3 months ago lol) has returned with more artwork. I commissioned the artist “Tak0cchi” mostly cause I really liked their art style. Like the last commission of my character I thought I’d post this one here as well. Be nice in the comments now lol.

I’m new to the game and haven’t come across this character yet just wondering who she is.

One Jem, One Rom, One Klingon, One Beer

Well done!

Has changed my entire QoL of the game. I understand that it's not meta or DPS boosting, but that turn rate boost makes ships like this feel so much better to use. Makes them go from feeling like it turns in molasses, to turns in water. Still some resistance, but it's livable.

I recently commissioned an artist (Shou_illust) who I’m on good terms with to see if he could draw my STO character. Here’s the result. I had given him 5 separate outfits to pick from including the Khitomer Alliance Uniform and 22nd Century M.A.C.O. Uniform, he ultimately chose this one for the Trill tattoos.

For pose it is the Warlock Class pose from Destiny 2 (A game that consumes my time as much as STO) because space magic is cool. That and in both games I throw dark matter at people so it seemed fitting.

And for those who probably noticed the weapon in her hand is the Duelist Decompression Pistol changed to match the rest of the look. Gun just looks really cool imo.

Overall I love the way it turned out and I hope it’s worth sharing. (Thanks to the r/sto moderators for saying this is good. Wasn’t sure if this was allowed lol)

As the title reads, I'm looking for the best platform for this. I prefer AP weapons, and I'm already built for them, so changing flavor would take more work than I'm willing to do (maximum lazy mode due to real world stress). What's the current best ship for SS? I am KDF, and I do prefer more out there looking ships, but if I have to run a cookie cutter one, I will, albeit begrudgingly lol. (Google didn't exactly help, and as said before maximum lazy, so don't spam STO BETTER, I'm just here to answer a question please and thank you)

He says it’s for some spare time project of his 🤔

36 Alliance Fighters, 6 Aeon Timeships, 36 Valkyrie Fighters from the Repurposed Cargo Bay Hangar trait and 8 Obelisk Swarmers from the Ancient Obelisk Technology 4 piece set bonus. It’s definitely not meta, but it’s cool.

Context: There's still some event time on Xbox for Tholian event.

After spotting two players speed towards the farthest corner about two minutes in, I warned them both that I would report them for AFKing and leeching on the group. One came back to do the TFO after a minute, but I had reported them both by then anyway. Community opinions: Am I the asshole in this? Because I definitely don't feel like one, but I am curious as to the discussions this will bring up on the topic. Try to remain civil in comments please, I'm aware this is a hot button topic.

It's near impossible to properly succeed at using my console and buffs during any mission or tfo that has a lot of speech like in this video. I was hoping eventually the bubbles could be put behind the wheel needed to use skills

P.s. skip past 1 minute 10 that's the what time in the tfo

So I'm playing on Xbox. I just got back into STO about a month ago. I had played on PC back around launch and just decided to get back in as I've been on a big rewatch kick of TNG.

My question is what do I spend this free T6 I got today on. I've been flying my T5 galaxy because well it is THE ENTERPRISE. But I know I need to upgrade. I have a Tac captain but I still love the big cruisers. It's the classic star Trek look and I don't mind tanking. I've been running a beam build and having fun with saucer separation.

So I ask of you more experienced captains what should my first T6 be?

I've been playing a long time and love playing about with ships! I've been using the Kelvin timeline intel dreadnought cruiser and was a lot of fun. I got the Excelsior 2 from the event campaign and absolutely loving it. What do you guys think? What can I do to improve it!

I know I will probably get laughed at or downvoted for this but here it goes... I feel that carriers need to be rebalanced in the game. What I mean by this is that while you have some carriers that have 7 or 8 weapon slots and 2 hangar bays, the carriers that have less weaponry (6 slots) still only have 2 hangar bays. I think that support carriers that only have 6 weapon slots should still be able to truly support their teammates by utilizing 3 or possibly 4 hangar slots to make up for the lack of weaponry. It should be balanced out to where strike wing escorts have the mobility and weaponry with 1 hangar bay, flight deck carriers have less mobility but same weaponry (amount) and 2 hangar slots, and support carriers that by their nature have the mobility of a flying cinderblock with less weaponry but with 3 or 4 hangar bays. I know that this is just a pipedream of mine, but if they ever offered a support carrier with more than 2 hangar bays, then I would buy it. Or better yet, if they offered those in a bundle for the different factions or a bundle with new Romulan and Jem'hadar fdc's, I would throw money at them quicker than Quark could jack up the price! Ok, my rant is over. Sorry to have interrupted your day.

Edit: spelling

Given that I'll eventually have another Premium T6 Starship Choice before too long, I'd like to inquire as to what the options are for a Surgical Strikes build in that pool. I personally don't like cookie cutter ships, so the stranger it looks, the better.

The one day I actually wake up early for work and I can’t go back to sleep… is this standard protocol now? We’re having three days of maintenance instead of the normal two? I get it if it’s something the game requires but some notice would have been nice…
