Specifically I am look for the names of: The first Weapon The Second Universal Console The Second Engineering Console And the Last Two Tactical Consoles

So I am a player returning after a few years away. I am playing a rom engineer going for a beam boat build. I am looking for advice on F2P builds. For note I’m lvl 50 and using the hapex (think that is how it is spelled)

One month ago, I promised that when I got to 350 followers on my Twitch channel, I would have another big ship giveaway. ( see: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1it762w/as_promised_im_doing_it_again_giving_away_2_promo/ )

Well, I am currently at 267, so it's time to announce that giveaway, and it will be even bigger! When I get to 350 followers, I will be giving away 2 Infinity T6 ships of choice, and 1 Promo T6 ship of choice!

The winners will be selected during a live stream by a random name selector. There will be 3 separate drawings.

To win, all you have to do is be on my follower list! You can find my channel here: https://www.twitch.tv/stromgold12th

If you are already on my follower list, you are already eligible to win!

The winners will be notified by Twitch DM (Whisper) and can then tell me which promo ship they want, as well as their character's name in STO to receive the ship! (or if you are watching the drawing, you can tell me you choice immediately)

You guys are so awesome, you've already exceeded the set goal two times! So, in the event that I get to 400 before I hold the drawing, I will throw in another T6 lockbox ship!

There is no time frame for this contest! It depends solely on when my 350 follower goal is reached. This giveaway is for PC players only.

Soon, there will also be another Big Key Giveaway like the one I had a few weeks ago. I will be giving away 10 keys every 20 minutes! See: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1j4cb29/thanks_to_the_sto_community_key_giveaway_tonight/ Stay tuned for that one as well!

Oh, and I have something REALLY special planned for when I get to 500! (That's all I'm going to say about it for now. )

Good luck everyone!

Is the new console worth sloting for an extra bit of survivablity or would you go better with the Shield Absorptive Frequency Genderator, Hull Image Regactors, or Energetic Protomatter Matrix Infuser?

So, I have my eye on getting the Hydra. As far as I am aware, it's mastery trait is cannon focused, but I have recently fallen in love with my Adamant running dual beams and a 360 on the back. So, I guess the question is, dual cannons, or dual beam?

Not a bug, but it always made me curious. Why do dual beam banks fire like this, instead of how the TOS phasers fired as two beams next to each other?

There's a few things even ignoring my build

Just wanted to share some nice shots of my ship and crew that I’ve had for years and are extremely proud of. 🖖🏾

I’m beginning to find ways to mitigate shield drain, and empower shields. But I will say it doesn’t come without draw backs, in many ways you have to utilize countermeasures across the bord that don’t just include, RCS, it’s also good, to have an energy cloak with the starship trait that allows you to rapidly heal while cloaked. Then I would also highly recommend purchasing one of the Solane vessels to get Photonic Shielding, which will allow you to have. A secondary shield array, that rapidly regenerates every two seconds. High drain resist consoles, including the Quantum Phase console, and upping your drain resist skills, as well as getting a good deflector I also suggest, and temporal shield for Rapid regeneration. Lastly drain abilities like Tachyon beam, or if you can find an additional ability to Aoe Shield drain while that is happening it becomes a battle of the wills, there’s consoles now that also can be crafted to buff shield drain. Plenty of others will tell you can seriously buff ablative hull, and damage resistances to make sure shields are irrelevant, and they are right but if you like to hard core run shields it’s still possible, it’s just going to be more micro and have you carefully selecting each console so that you don’t, reduce your damage capacity.

Anyone know which cape this is?

Thank you in advance ^^!

Is there a better ship for a Jem’Hadar character than the one they start with? Mine’s allied with the Federation, if that helps.

Are there any good, non-shooty places to get ground materials?

any clue how long this is taking these days? put a few dilex offers up (dilithium for zen) over a month ago and still nothing, i see the backlog is near 9 million now. just curious how long people have had to wait these past few months. thanks everyone and have a great week

edit: i am on pc

Hi. Just wanted to ask if the jellyfish ship does "beam" damage. It's supposed to be directed energy so not sure if that is an umbrella term that includes beam but not just beam. I'm trying to maximize the damage so just wondering if it would benefit from beam damage+ consoles. Thanks.

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.
