What adds to torpedo damage other than high yield?

Spread for AoE damage and consoles can boost torpedo dps.
Oh you mean like the Dreadnought Phaser Lance weapon?

Yeah, but as an equipable item with a weapon slot rather than an innate ability. More weapon choices to craft, more loot, more reward options... you could even have an entire class of ships at various tiers designed around a spinal weapon type.
The biggest problem the game has at the moment is lack of diversification at end-game. If you had ships with turret-only weapon slots, spinal-only slots, more firing arcs beyond "fore" and "aft"... you expand the number of viable ship builds.

Spread is an Ensign skill afaik. Not sure if it has higher ones.
The BOFF trainer on ESD has it.

I don't suppose that there's a way to upgrade the ranks of the tactical stations. I lost a few good skills when going from escort to cruiser, such as rapid fire and fire at will and dispersal pattern beta. I should've been more aware of what I was doing.

You can use the Skill Trainer at ESD - he can train your BOFFs in tier 1 & 2 skills for Energy Credits.
Does it have any customization like hulls/nacels/pylons and stuff or is it just the ship as it is? I assume no changeable parts, but I didn't know for sure.
Anyone level 5 or higher and get it, but you can't use it as an actual ship until 50.
In the club in Earth Space Dock. Club 47 or whatever.
I had crazy lag over lunch break. My assignments window had 10 missions that were supposed to be complete and it took about 5 minutes for all the confirmations to come through.

You get the ship by doing a short quest in ESD, anyone can do it as long as you're over level 5. You get an item that gives you it so you can save it for 50.
Q is in the club on ESD.
There aren't any parts to customize on it but you can change the texture/design and windows.
Best change to happen today isn't that though, they switched Field Generators from Engineering to Science. The top end Generators give +35% to Shield capacity on ships and so now you can have both armor resistance and shield capacity on a ship instead of either or.

Sort of - my characters constantly get stuck. I can see stuff going on in the world (and can get attacked) but I can't actually do anything. Rubber-banding.
Sometimes I can play for a few hours, sometimes only 10-15 minutes.
Never happened to me like this in a MMORPG

Got the Odyssey
Now to get to level 50 before my 10 day Gold expires, I want my VA ship for free

To add to this, does it unlock it for all your characters, or just the one who did the quest? IE if i made a character after the event, would i never be able to get it on that character?

You need to be an Admiral, participate Special Task Forces to fight the Borg, gain Borg Encrypted Data Chips or Borg Salvage, go to Deep Space Nine, find the M.A.C.O. or Omega Force team and give them that stuff to claim stuff like Assimilated Borg Tech for your ship
Here is some footage I took of my ship with various components fighting a small group of Klingons

When I first saw the Enterprise-E I thought it was so elegant and sleek and awesome looking. And now the Odyssey just puts it to shame. More elegant, sleeker, and with all these sexy curves in all the right places ;D
Still, I think I'll be sticking with my Sov since it performs better -_-

Got me a borg beam array, makes the Jem Hadar go boom
Correct me if I'm wrong
As a silver member you do not get a free ship at 50 but gold members do?

Everyone over level 5 gets it, but you can only use it at Vice admiral rank.

Everyone gets it for free, you don't need to be Gold. I'm not.

Man, the patrol missions can be completed so quickly and offer significant XP......wish I knew this at lower levels
Ah... that's the stuff
Looks like we get to see more of Bajor, the inside of the Wormhole and more battles outside the space station
It's interesting to see the Dilithium/C-Store points market. When I started right when F2P hit, it was trading for about 275-280 dilithium for 1 point. This morning it was down to 208:1. I'm curious how much more this will drop. When do people who subscribe get their stipend? Dependent on their subscription payment time or does everyone get it at a set day on the month? Was wondering if this was an aberration because everyone has extra points to burn all at once and that was driving the price down or if the market is just falling that far.
I think everyone just gets permission to buy new ships at 50. No one actually gets a free ship like the previous milestone levels.
I have been doing the Klingon War Zone fights. Ridiculous XP and you can get some useful ship items.

And don't forget that you can also take a mission from someone on K7 so that you get 1440 dilithium ore for every three war zones you complete. I forgot what rank you have to be to accept them, but as soon as you complete your third war zone, you can just go back to K7, get your ore and then start the mission again.
