I very much hope the content for this goes beyond "Go here and defeat all, then go here and defeat all some more, then go and defeat X AV".

If this lets me solo the STF, then it will be pure awesome.

I made Mon'Kee last night after you logged... terror of the Klingon Empire!

Wait until you see him. He is a masterpiece, especially with his pet Targ.

Sorry to hear you all didn't get the MITF last night.

My all Trek Babe crew has some mountains for sure.

Just wait until they release the bikini wear for Risa and stuff.

Shatner would be proud.

I find it hard to imagine someone would post this as a suggestion without seeing the blatantly obvious flaw in their "opinion"...

Not so much anymore since the free 30 days is up and all the l33t, disenfranchised WoW crybabies left.

I PUGed it on full teams. It's impossible to solo fully as you need 3 toward the end to click 3 glowies simultaneously. It's designed for 5, but can be done with 3. Don't listen to the nooblets on the STO forums that say you need "healers/engineers only". They do make it easier if built right, but any class will do so long as you know what you are doing.

Part I: 4 ships engage all the Borg to grab their attention as they come through the gate. 5th ship zips behind the Transwarp portal and pew pews until it is destroyed (I usually have my Escort ship do this since it is built for maximum dps). Then go to town on the Tactical cube.

Part II: There are two types of Borg mobs in the station - stationary (around the nodes) and patrols. You can pull the patrols to clear them before hitting the node campers. Take out the nodes first to prevent ludicrous amounts of Borg reinforcements, clearing your way to the first Boss. Always destroy the nodes first whenever you see them!

Part III: Defeat the first Borg boss - pretty much a straight fight.

Part IV: On the final room, have 2 people provide cover fire while the other 3 do the Mario hop around to deactivate the force field units in the corners. Some things to keep in mind here ...

a. Use melee attacks to KB the drones into the acid. This is faster and more effective than shooting them to death while trying to deactivate the corner fields.

b. This is where Engineers are helpful. If they keep dropping phaser turrets/force field generators, the Borg will be mad and shoot at those instead of you. It buys you some time.

Part V: Once all the forcefields around the corners are down, upload the virus and the shield protecting the center thingy comes down. When it does, shoot it until it goes boom and the BQ will come out. Shoot her until she dies. We've found picking a corner to spawn her helps provide some cover from the drones that keep respawning. Having a Science officer here helps to debuff her and to buff you. Science powers can also spam exposes very quickly, so you'll have a better chance of getting/landing several critical shots to kill her quickly. She can do silly amounts of damage (1 to 2 shot you).

In terms of fighting the Borg ships... Science BOs and having a Science toon goes a long way. My Tactical/Escort toon does ok with Jam Sensors/Science Team II only (I've taken out 2 Borg cubes soloing), but my Science toon has much more powerful control powers at her disposal.

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind hearing more details on this?

"Your dearest wish will come true.... while pantsless"

Woo hoo!!!

We had about 5 gagillion feet of snow here between Thursday and Friday last week so I was home and I went nuts. The story episodes at Captain and Admiral are fun!

I'll have to get an away mission so you can see Monkey with his Bat'leth. It's so funny!

Not entirely true. Costume changes cost influence, if you have no free tokens for them. Buying items on the market costs influence. You can turn in influence for Prestige. Buying enhancements every few levels costs influence. Personally, I also spread the wealth to alts to outfit them with IO sets.

If their idea for endgame content is an IO that is going to cost me more over time than entire IO sets for a toon, I'm hesitant to think it is a good thing. If it is going to cost a ton of money, they better have ludicrous level buffs to them or the Devs need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something fun. I have to say, the idea of a deteriorating enhancement does not sound very appealing to me.

War Witch was referring to content for the upcoming issues this year, outside of GR where she said content was the main focus for the next several updates. I'm hoping this meant story arcs/TFs/SFs and not just new badges.

Same here. I'm waiting to see War Witch deliver on her statements of "content, content and more content". So far, I see only 2 new story arcs for mid-level toons and an update to Positron and Silver Mantis. Nothing in terms of new/any endgame content for all of my 50s to do again.

I'm hoping that the increase from 3 to 7 open missions in your contact list is a sign of things to come, meaning there is so much new content that you need the bump. I'm cautiously optimistic about that too though.

I'll probably be back to finish up some other toons I have during the next Double XP weekend. Otherwise I'm waiting to see all of what GR is beyond Ultra Mode.

In the interim, Monkey and I will be on the bridge defending the Federation and all of you from those nasty Klingons and the Borg. I wish I could take a movie of Monkey wielding his brand new Bat'leth, creating force fields and quantum mortars, dropping mines and doing the Shatner dodge/roll on away missions. You would laugh so hard lol.

Psssssssst.... I read it the way it was intended.

But yes, posts on a forum are always open to interpretation and what was written is open to interpretation (obviously).

However, the response was clarified. Telling a poster they are "backpedalling" and didn't mean what they posted even after said poster made clarifications to further explain the intent? That is neurotic.

Whether 1 person or 50 "read it wrong" is a moot point. Ultimately, the individual got it wrong.

I believe that is the point being made.

I'll have to post a screen cap of my latest Bridge Officer from STO this weekend... "Mon Kee". To see him running around shooting bad guys with his dual disruptor pistols, doing the famous "Shatner dodge/roll" then petting his pet Tribble is so damned funny.

I was able to design him to be a really close facsimile to a Rikti Monkey from CoH lol.

Have to agree with the comment that this is pretty neurotic. You read it wrong.
