It's up again 
So how does everyone else do the Ker'rat Warzone? I am under the impression that the goal is to scan the big things and blow up the repair hulks as fast as possible, and that you get points for how many you do individually, which dictates how good of an item you get at the end. I notice that sometimes Klingons and Feds start at the same spawn point, whereupon they immediately start shooting each other. I try to fly to each goal as fast as possible, avoiding any Borg for as long as possible. Is it asinine to try to snipe one of the goals that someone else appears to be approaching?

I am now the proud captain of a Galaxy class star cruiser. I love her so far, although I do miss my third rank Science ability. I was getting to like the gravity well beam.
I can't progress in the Klingon faction episode timeline. There is a common bug on the episode known as "Keep your enemies closer" where I have to raid Starbase 157, steal a runabout... I can't even get beyond the part where I have to disable the docking locks cuz whenever I try to go to the shuttlebay controlroom, I fall through the map into nothingness every singletime. I submitted this ticket twice, and seen others complaining about this on their official forum. So I can't progress till they fix this, which could be who knows when.

The U.S.S Redemption Ark bids you a stealthy hello:
Nice to be able to get Cryptic points
I want that ship more than my Odyssey
I think the Klingon side is really messed up right now with people trying to get both free ships

Can we still get the free ships outside this weekend period?
Oh shit, I guess I need to get the Bortas badly ASAP.
How the heck do I get out of the tutorial arena room though? There are no doors anywhere.
I never had trouble leaving that arena area... not sure what the issue is...but supposedly since the servers have been going up and down a lot lately and the update, all sorts of things are breaking down weirdly
I mean since you started this character, it's not a big deal to start over, just close the whole program and start again?

There's a door near the ring need to get close to it though.
If we missed one and want to get it, can we just replay the mission and get the same reward again? Or do you not get rewards when replaying missions?
You can redo missions and reget the unique item yes. In some cases it's necessary in order to improve the quality of that item because some items are specific to your rank at the time.

Is the Breen transphasic cluster torpedo worth equipping over something like a level X chroniton torpedo launcher?

I think I finally understand what people who bought LOTRO, and DC universe felt went those went free to play.
I bought this game at $50.
Good thing is, this will actually get me to reinstall and play it once more.

That's too bad. The Breen torpedo does minimal kinetic damage (only about a third as much as a chroniton torpedo), but I was wondering if the shield penetration rate would make up for it. For that reason the different technologies are difficult to compare.

I bought the Deluxe for $60 and don't regret it.
I got to play ~70 hours of this game 2 years ago and now I get to play an improved version.
You can experiment by all means, but that torpedo you mention reload rate is kinda slow... I could inflict massive damage in that recharge time with regular weapons

If you want to try an exotic torpedo launcher, i suggest the Hargh'peng that you get in the doomsday machine mission. Does loads of damage, the cooldown isn't too bad but it isn't affected by torpedo spread or high yield.
Ah, and they also have an AoE that destroys hostile mines/heavy torpedoes.

I was having a blast tonight using my type 8 shuttlecraft fighting the Terran Empire. I have it equipped with the entire Borg tech set, and 2 dual antiproton beam banks. I was coming to the rescue of much bigger powerful ships that were being surrounded by enemies... the enemies don't consider me a threat cause I was so damned small, so I could heal quickly and wail on them from a far and I never died once (but a few times pretty close) despite my hull strength was like 12,000 or something. Remember, if yer smart with yer skills, no enemy is unbeatable. Try it out... you should see some of the players, they were embarressed to be rescued by a shuttlecraft haha
Did the same in a Tal'Kyr a few weeks back.
So where is the door to exit the Klingon tutorial supposed to be? I've run circles around the room. I see 2 doors that won't open.
When I try to talk to the Spar master, all I get is a blank message and the option "Exit" from the conversation.
Ya that character was just bugged. I deleted him and recreated him and now I can use the door to exit the Klingon tutorial.

So, who do you talk to in order to get this free ship? I'll probably never be able to use it in my lifetime, but would like to have it anyway.

There's an engineer at the Earth space dock, I believe outside of the admiral's office.

I've been wondering the same. Just started up my Klingon character a few days back for Bortas, but still no luck by level 23.

Bleh, the Odyssey in game just really is ugly, thought it looked good on paper. Seems like a bloated Sovereign class.
I think we need to make one! How many people does it take?

Okay, so if you've read the OP you've already seen my pimping my Starfleet UGC mission "Uplift". Well happy days; I've just finished the Klingon version "yIn Chen" (basically the same name in Klingon).
Rather than make the same mission for both Fed and KDF, what I've done is set the KDF version a few days after the Fed version. Most of the locations and many of the characters are the same though. The plan is to have a single story alternates in progression Fed/KDF/Fed/KDF etc... but which can also be played well by just one faction.
For those of you unaware of the publishing process, missions need to be rated by a certain number of reviewers before they are added to the general pool available to everyone. Becoming a reviewer is easy enough - you should see if as an option in the UGC mission area.
Would you all be so kind as to have a look for it and give it a try? Feel free to post any issues you've had with it, but be kind when it comes to US/UK spelling differences...
Cheers!

Is this game any good? It doesn't seem to have very good reviews.
It's a very fun casual MMO if you like spaceships. No wonder about the poor reviews, as the game wasn't very fun at the launch, but it has improved a lot these last 2 years.
Depends if you read text or not. Most of the content in my missions is optional text. Uplift is more dialogue though, where yln Chen has more combat.
I'm a bit averse to putting them in a numbered arc. I find a lot of people skip them. I might add some bold text to the description indicating that play of [x] mission is recommended though.

Escorts are only really good for unleashing a wave of artillery hell on enemies before they blow you up, I love it that way
Q is not the one who gives you the Bortas as a Klingon.
Klingon you have to be at least level 21, so 23 is fine, there is an Engineer in close vicinity of where Q is the center of the city you talk to that will give you the Bortas mission
