Blurr: he's stretching
FuturePastNow entered the room.
EmperorAndy: Salami, please tell Stahl we appreciate all the time he takes to reply to forum questions. he did a lot of that today.
Salami_Inferno: i know he has
Salami_Inferno: i will let him know
usemyspacename: salami: i had an idea - have a publically viewable leaderboard ranking the progression of all fleets in STO.
Salami_Inferno: after reaching T1 you should be able to unlock stores
usemyspacename: It'd encourage fleets to compete against each other.
Salami_Inferno: fleet comparison is somthing we want to do
Salami_Inferno: its why we give a fleet number
usemyspacename: Nice.
Ryoshima: I got reported for sucking in an STF
Salami_Inferno: yeesh, better step up your game
EmperorAndy: haha
Salami_Inferno: :P
frostdamage: o/ pvp?
hadrianone: lol
Salami_Inferno: you wont like pvp against this character
atquick: cge o/
Ryoshima: Thats crazy enough to work
EmperorAndy: BRING IT SAL
Salami_Inferno: i'll love it tho
Auraxium: oh a dev
Auraxium: hi
usemyspacename: If we knew we were only second in the rankings, for example, you can be sure we'd break ourselves trying to get to number one.
Salami_Inferno: hi trent
captainsnorlax: after I finish this CGE, I will PvP
hadrianone: wonder what kind of ship does a dev fly..
redhotkurt: Dev don't need a ship to fly.
FuturePastNow: Hello, Salami.
moonmoss: should I even enter pvp without an escort class ship
theuntanker: Borg cube?
Salami_Inferno: i roll with the armitage for now
Auraxium: Salami, what sets will be viable in S7, any tips? MACO or borg?
captainsnorlax: Borg Diamond
Salami_Inferno: but for fun i like the crystalline entity, the Gekli, or a cube
EmperorAndy: ahaha
jormuungaand: What does a dev need with a starship?
redhotkurt: Vove, you don't need an escort ship to pvp. many other clases do very well.
EmperorAndy: Salami, sersly, I wan tto fly a Gekli
frostdamage: Lol I could sooo kill that :P
Atheonyirh: Hey Sal.
Salami_Inferno: hey atheon
Atheonyirh: Another quick, silly question.
Salami_Inferno: fire away
EmperorAndy: pew pew
FuturePastNow left the room.
arcanoloth entered the room.
aashtag: Family Guy or American Dad?
FuturePastNow entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: family guy wins through season 4, american dad wins beyond
Atheonyirh: A long time ago they fixed the top nacelles on the Cerberus class (Advanced Escort variant) by adding a block to their underside to let them properly connect with the various pylons.
Atheonyirh: ...But, er. Why did they never flip the nacelles and save as the bottom (they're seriously just upside down) to fix those too?
Salami_Inferno: i was in charge of the ship team back then
EmperorAndy: o.O
Uxxul left the room.
Salami_Inferno: and there is always an answer for that
Salami_Inferno: time
Auraxium: oh ships
Uxxul entered the room.
CaptainBaldy: Hey Salami..dunno if you remember our SSR interview (it's Creamy btw) but I might be getting a job at a local game studio as a tester
Starwars_was_better left the room.
Skookah: tangentially related question. would it really be so hard to make all four nacelles glow for transwarp?
Starwars_was_better entered the room.
EmperorAndy: but now we have time ships so whats the problem
CaptainBaldy: so I'm totally following in your footsteps XD
Salami_Inferno: oh hey creamy
Auraxium: Obligatory Ambassador-class request!
Atheonyirh: Fair enough. It just struck me as weird because the model (seems) the exact same, just rotated 180 degrees. :V
Salami_Inferno: whew
Salami_Inferno: its quite a low paying journey
CaptainBaldy: so is being an EMT, unfortunately
shapey: no space rich?
JadithSlim entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: compared to QA it pays better and is more fun
jormuungaand: the KDF 1000 day ship, the nacelles extend for jumping to warp, but they don't show as extended in sector space.
Salami_Inferno: but just like voyager, its the journey
EmperorAndy: -_-
Atheonyirh: Also: for the record. JamJamz trolling everyone wanting the Ambassador class as, like, his first official act as a dev was hilarious.
Atheonyirh: So was the 'tier 5 connie' rowboat.
usemyspacename: Also, an idea for future KDF ships - hybrid designs. So a Gorn-Klingon mix, or a Nausicaan-Orion design.
Capt.Morgan0210 entered the room.
FuturePastNow: KDF needs more of everything.
Starwars_was_better: hey salami, word on the street is that it will take 2-3 months to grind the new rep system in S7, can you c/d?
Skookah: KDF needs more skants!
Atheonyirh: But, seriously: Please flip-and-save fixed Cerberus nacelles to fix the other pair too. :V It gives me such OCD fits to see that little bit of pylon hanging off. :T
Salami_Inferno: more than 2 less than 3
Capt.Morgan0210: Hello Reddit
Starwars_was_better: was there any reason given for the long timeframe?
Atheonyirh: Space Barbie(tm) is half the reason I play this game and it is seriously effecting productivity. D:
Blurr: kdf needs more players *cough* :P
CaptainBaldy: 2-3 months isn;'t really a long timeframe IMO
aashtag left the room.
Starwars_was_better: to get endgame gear it is
FuturePastNow: I'm concerned that there won't be much solo-able content for advancing through the reputation systems. Seems like all team stuff.
Salami_Inferno: for anyone thats played the system, it doesnt feel that grindy
CaptainBaldy: took longer than that to get my Mk XII MACO set and that was with some SERIOUS all-day STF marathons
Starwars_was_better: compared to most mmos, its a long time
Salami_Inferno: the input costs are so low, even on the low end, that its not that bad just to progress
shapey: enough time to keep us busy between seasons ;p
DataSan left the room.
Blurr: It feels long if you compare it to the amount of time STFs have been out and how much time we've spent on them, it's a relative feel
DataSan entered the room.
EmperorAndy: is S8 still "story"?
JadithSlim: thing is, sto is 90% endgame, so the end game takes more effort
Salami_Inferno: we're reading feedback
Capt.Morgan0210: I like the reputation system, the only thing I'm concerned about is the amount of currencies: We got energy credits, GPL (which is next to useless), dilithium, fleet marks, fleet credits
Salami_Inferno: we're considering changes
Salami_Inferno: so keep making htem
EmperorAndy: awesome
Salami_Inferno: well, we removed 42 with the stfs
redhotkurt: cool
Salami_Inferno: so we bought ourselves some wiggle room
Salami_Inferno: literally 42
JadithSlim: in other mmos, most of the grind is on the front end.  One of the things i like about sto is the fact that it all takes place in endgame
Starwars_was_better: the answer to life the universe and everything
Atheonyirh: I do appreciate that. If only for the extra inventory space.
JadithSlim: so all the grind isn't useless waste once you hit level cap
Atheonyirh: Speaking of that. Dstahl said we'd get more inventory space.
Atheonyirh: When the hell is that coming?
EmperorAndy: i got mine did you not get more
Atheonyirh: I have so much crap on my person. :(
Salami_Inferno: soom
arcanoloth: agreed, theres no fracturing the userbase with mappacks or premium classes
Starwars_was_better: when you pay for the slots, atheon :P
Capt.Morgan0210: I get that part, but wouldn't a universal Reputation currency be a good option as well?
drthunder left the room.
shapey: ive maxed out my inv in all forms
Atheonyirh: Also. On the subject of inventory.
drthunder entered the room.
EmperorAndy: i dont doubt that james
Atheonyirh: Why can't I put the Fleet Tribble on one of my BOFFs?
Uxxul left the room.
Jane_Coder entered the room.
drthunder left the room.
drthunder entered the room.
FuturePastNow: James' inventory is full of lockbox ships ;)
Salami_Inferno: i can verify that
CaptainBaldy: yeah, backing off all the STF currencies was HUGE imo
shapey: nah just the bank
Atheonyirh: I was able to put the dilithium one onto one for storage.
Atheonyirh: But not the Fleet one. D:
Starwars_was_better: salami, is there any possiblity of giving the players more control over how long the grind will take?  so that powerplayers can get it done faster?
CaptainBaldy: especially after you guys said "hey, we're gettign rid of currencies...but we're adding more"
robopeen entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: power players can earn all the marks they need sooner
Salami_Inferno: then all they have to do is fill it up
EmperorAndy: thats what she said
Starwars_was_better: zing
Gamma11443377 entered the room.
swarek left the room.
Salami_Inferno: i know
faradn1 entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: i was giving a dev answer
swarek entered the room.
Starwars_was_better: zo if someone had all the marks/dil they needed to cap as soon as S7 hit, it would still take ~2 months to grind out?
EmperorAndy: ha
Capt.Morgan0210: I have to admit that I was against the Borg set changes at first, but now that I think about it, Odyssey's had become damn-near impossible to kill in PvP, so it needed to happen.
FuturePastNow: And we took that answer to where it needed to go.
Skookah: hey salami, I'll cut a deal with you. give me the assets and a week and I'll have four-nacelle ships glowing for warp properly.
Salami_Inferno: yes megan
shapey: should we dump all our EDC etc into dill conversion? or is it worth holding onto for season 7 (wondering if we will get burned on conversion etc)
Starwars_was_better: thank you, salami
Blurr: I think that depends on how much you need from t5 rep vendors
Salami_Inferno: it depends on how much you have
CaptainBaldy: I plan on converting all my EDCs right now actually...get some dilithium and earn what I need for sets as I level up the Omega system
cell0ne entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: sounds good
CaptainBaldy: since if I don't conveert, i can't use the stuff until Tier 5 anyway
Salami_Inferno: if you play elites it will seriously cut down on the number of missions you need to run
shapey: I know I got burned on the last conversion, was told it was not worth holding onto marks and to spend them, then a dev blog pops up telling us we will get a special bo etc if over a certian #
shapey: opps
Capt.Morgan0210: Will we be getting conversion rates soon? I'm holding off on doing anything w/ my EDCs, tech, etc. until I know for sure whether or not it'd be worth it to convert in S7 or dump them now.
cell0ne: OH wow, the dev's on! Hey Salami
Salami_Inferno: hey arl
Starwars_was_better: dump all salvage for dil and all edc for BROG doffs
Starwars_was_better: oh that reminds me
EmperorAndy left the room.
clayle entered the room.
EmperorAndy entered the room.
Starwars_was_better: salami, will we be able to buy the BROG doffs with the new mark system?
shapey: Cockneys vs Zombies = somewhat good, no where near as good as shawn of the dead
CaptainBaldy: BROG?
EmperorAndy: like a borg but is also a bro
CaptainBaldy: is that like crossing Bros and Dogs?
cell0ne: hes his won worst enemy
Salami_Inferno: brog doffs will be back later, they will not be in the rep system right now
EmperorAndy: whoa good to know
CaptainBaldy: interesting
Salami_Inferno: get 'em while theyre hot
Capt.Morgan0210: Time to get STFin on my KDF
CaptainBaldy: will they be able to still be used as inputs for assignments?
the10of9 left the room.
CaptainBaldy: for starbases and such?
the10of9 entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: undetermined
CaptainBaldy: noted
Salami_Inferno: that doesnt mean no, we just havent decided yet
Blurr: Do you think the ships that come out in Season 7 (ie Vesta) will get Fleet variants?
moonmoss left the room.
moonmoss entered the room.
Salami_Inferno: any ship has the possibility of becoming a fleet ship
carlibiris13 left the room.
EmperorAndy: hahaha
carlibiris13 entered the room.
FuturePastNow: Not all of the ships in the game now have fleet versions.
Salami_Inferno: correct
redhotkurt: Even the Enterprise NX lol?
Salami_Inferno: doesnt mean they wont someday
lonewulf212 left the room.
shapey: excelsior etc
FuturePastNow: I'd like a Fleet Exeter
EmperorAndy: I'd like a pony
Skookah: I want a fleet tuffli
Voxaroth left the room.
shapey: oh and the excelsior at last look was still bugged salami
kenen301: I'd like a fleet pony
EmperorAndy: what bug
Salami_Inferno: fleet tuffli
Blurr: Oh I got a good question, the Aquarius and Hoh'Sus, are they meant to be competitive with the other t5 ships?
Salami_Inferno: just fill it with photon torpedoes
Jane_Coder: tuffli is op
Skookah: :D
l3eek entered the room.
Hokey entered the room.
Jane_Coder: needs worse turnrate imho
tehrepacker1 entered the room.
cell0ne: we did a shuttle pvp and someone had a tuffi
shapey: the Excelsior retrofit "claims" to give a passive bonus to ship performance, but with the whole skill change system
shapey: it no longer does
shapey: (if it ever did)
EmperorAndy: ... I am outraged
redhotkurt: That was barb who brought the tuffli to the shuttle pvp. Kicked some serious ass.
Capt.Morgan0210: Are there any plans to increase the amount of dilithium we can convert in a day? It's gotten a lot more valuable and 8000 is starting to seem kind of limited...
Atheonyirh: Also. Captain Trait Respecs come when? I mean given you guys altered quite a few of them with the skill revamp...
Salami_Inferno: we've thought about ways to increase it beyond the veteran mission
Starwars_was_better left the room.
shapey: I think the bonus passive power on the excelsior might have disapeared around when they added consoles to ships
Starwars_was_better entered the room.
theuntanker: Salami, I have a problem because most of the ways to get dilithium are tedious and repetitive
shapey: the RA version was supposed to get an upgraded transwarp console like the cmdr version has, and it would have been tied to that
tehrepacker1: Hello, I am new here, made a post on r/sto
theuntanker: so I don't even bother to hit the cap most days
Salami_Inferno: how would you like to earn dilithium
shapey: but people QQed about it, and they never added the console
shapey: the sto wiki has the icon for it still
kenen301: Break Dancing
EmperorAndy: well I do like that it is not tied to a console
clayle: okay, another question: how do I pick up Investigate Officer Reports?
Salami_Inferno: alright, back to work everyone
EmperorAndy: and I love when the TW fails
Salami_Inferno: thanks for being awesome as usual
FuturePastNow: I'd like to request that fleet ships get the upgraded Advanced Quantum Slipstream drive, too.
shapey: cya
EmperorAndy: thanks for stopping by!
redhotkurt: See ya Salami.
EmperorAndy: *goes back to work*
Blurr: Thanks Salami
Capt.Morgan0210: Thanks for stopping by Salami!
shapey: check out the excelsior c-store descrption salami ;p
Skookah: he's fleeing from your barbed tongue
FuturePastNow: Bye, meatfire
