I get 2 Iconian Data Probes a day from two open missions in the Kobali Adventure Zone: “At the Gates” being part of “Breaking the Wall” and “The Last Stand” being part of “With Our Last Breath”.


Preparation for this is completion of the Kobali ground mission arc *.
This gives you a transport to the actual mission zone (you see me at the map heading outdoors). Using the Replay Mission Terminals at Kobali City (near General Q'Nel) marks your playground on the map (white=At the Gates , yellow=The Last Stand) and may help the open missions spawn.

Good equipment helps, 1 or 2 comrade players are invaluable.



* before last week end I did this once. Last year. I never thought I would ever do this again for any purpose.

My first encounter with the Kobali Adventure at Delta Rising was frustating. On almost every mission I tried alone I was killed and respawned near the gates of Kobali City having to sneak somehow through masses of snake men of absurd respawn rate with high tech equipment back to the actual mission map. Again and again.

The only ground set I had at that time was the Jem Hadar set, my 2 Officers had blue stuff with some Mk XII Antiborg weapons.

4 more Characters got to level 60 w/o seeing more than the 1st missions at Kobali required advance in the main Delta mission Arc.

The Romulan Delta Tactics Recruit did the same. All Story Arcs completed, minus Kobali Ground.

Last week end I decided: TIME FOR REVENGE!

She is a Patriotic Republican Romulan sans repution sets but I tried to make her a Beast anyway: The ground set from Uneasy Allies, with Subspace Rift, Vaadwaur Polaron Bombardment, Plasma Grenade and Cascade in the Kit, Paradoxon Corrector, Big Shield Batteries, Big Hypo Sprays and Triolic Tribble equipped.

My Bridge Officers (A Science Android with Spy's Chaos Infliction added and a Tactics Jem Hadar that was tought range skills) got Armor and Shields from my R&D dept, made as very rare at Mk II, updated during leveling, and are equipped with Big Shield Batteries, Big Hypo Sprays and Triolic Tribble.
Weapons are all from R&D as well: I switch the complete group between Automatic Plasma Rifles (starting at Mk II and upgraded during leveling) and TR-116-B Sniper Phaser Rifles.
The TR-116-Bs are certainly a Because I Can! It is kind of nemesis to shield carriers while the Auto Rifles do good damage in general. A mix is not productive since the sniper rifles leave shields unharmed, always going directly for the man.

My Duty Officers group has The Doctor aka MHN I, 2 for additional Redshirts, 1 for Grenade CD

The cryptic Devs are working on the removal of [pvp res][pvp dmg] mods  8-)


I have counted 10 weapon mods,

CrtD
CrtH
Pen
Over
Acc
Dmg
Thrust
Snare
PVP dmg 
PVP res 

and the IMO two worst will be gone, soon. I dearly hope, they do not replace them with something else useless like [pink] and [sweet]. :evil:
A clean cut would give us a chance of 1:512 (currently 1:1000) for the 3 mods we want most when we are serial-crafting!

I had no picture that makes sense. So I took that one. I see sometimes Fleet Projects where the Energy Cells are filled, and DOffs are not. DOffs bought at 22500 EC or less mean 75 EC or less = 1FC. The priceworthy range. Why not saving these folks from the dark & cold Exchange for a new home at the Fleet and get the FC for a shiny Console or a place for a 6th DOff at space duty a bit easier? A full DOff roster is all that can stop me on that. And only this could stop me from filling my DOff roster.

So I send a mail to myself, to put white R&D DOffs into custody. If R&D is not your cup of tea - Beam Weapons R&D DOffs like Ririna Tenksi sell in the Millions EC range.
Then I give me two more mails with unbound DOffs white or green.
Now I do my purchase at the Exchange and trade DOffs for Fleet Credits.
When done, I release the guys from the mail box, of course.

Ok, so I'm looking at my bridge crew and well, their skills suck.


So I figured, I'd upgrade one. I started with my engineer - He has a level I skill Engineering Team I

So I purchased a training manual, Engineering Team II (green) and Engineering Team III (blue). But for the life of me, I can't train the bridge officer the new skill. It doesn't show up in their skill abilities, hell, I even promoted one person just to see if that would do it, but no.

So my question, is, how in the hell do you train your bridge officer with purchased training manuals? HELP!

With the sector block walls down and Sectors renamed, it sometimes is a little bit difficult to locate places for certain DOff Missions now.


Klingon Marauders hunting for Commodities and Contrabande have to contact their First Officer or at their ship's bridge/ready room console the Marauding Contact for the jobs formerly found on the Current Map mission tab for your current sector block.

These maps look helpful

Recovered from last night blood wine drinking contest, I explored the Marauder's Route: there were more missions than my crew could handle... YARR  :evil:

As some of us know.. or maybe just me.. I donno lol... STO has a built in music player that ties into winamp and maybe some other music programs.

I'm regularly using it since STO's in game music is kinda meh for me 90% of the time. I guess listening to them outside STO without the built in player counts too lol.

As for me some of the things I listen to are...

During battlegrounds I tend to always listen to some of the tracks in this mix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTcAz7kEuXA the wave 7 theme in particular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1_RYpcO15k

During runs where I know there's gonna be LOTS of lasers flying around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykyz5tcJ-NE (and just for general space missions when I know I'm gonna be flinging lasers left and right lol)

Sometimes while waiting for Queues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkFNBtVEaQ&spfreload=1

And some of the others I listen to from time to time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgfbc0Nvx7M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmEKaWWeYA (this one I like in particular even outside the game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jGIa_J3E00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3f1ZlSKJLw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6F3bNgOXzc

So what do you guys listen to during your STO time?

If you are a GOLD MEMBER (only)

then you can take advantage of a feature in the Star Trek Online chat system which lets you chat with your in game friends while not in the game.

This is identical to AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo Instant Messenger, Skype(text), irc, Facebook Chat, Google+ (Hangouts) etc... minus the video and audio *(text only).

It has quite a few benefits if you are at all interested. Here is the Link to the general Instructions

There are quite a few choices out there where you can set this up, I recommend Pidgin and on your android phone you could use xabber.

Cheers!

Hey guys,


So as a few of us have undoubtedly reached level 15 in some schools, i was hoping to get some info on who can craft what items for fleet members. Simply someone can ask you to craft, say a TR-116 and you trade mats, basic stuff i don't think i have to explain.

So to start off i will list my current abilities and Doffs

Beams 15 - No Doff
Cannons 6 - Derroti Ohnorso ( white )
Engineering 7 - Hesla Zyhrill ( white )
Ground 15 - Hinni ( white )
Projectiles 15 - Mycroft Bert Swanson ( white )
Science 15 - Mariah Allison Gardner ( white )
Shields 8 - Gumarra ( blue Aegis ) *This Doff does all Aegis Set.
