    Tips on not having my ship get it's warp core handed to it during combat

    Hey guys I just finished leveling in STO, with help from some dude I met on discord I managed to get my ship to have the ability to actually take down enemy ships

    However my ship's DPS is not fast enough, my shields always fail almost instantly, I have to constantly try regenerating it, how do I fix this? Do i need to spend real money on the game just to have fun again?

    Befriending the Undine

    I noticed during the Assimilation quest that you can revive and heal the partially assimilated Undine, can I help them any further? Is that a glitch?

    How do bundles work?

    I've been saying a while but I haven't bought any bundles yet and I was wondering because supposedly with some bundles you can only claim four ships from said bundle. Are they account wide?

    32c Cloak

    I will put this out there now. I have never used it on any ship so I'm not sure how it supposed to be used or if I'm just miss using it but that being said I am sure it's not supposed to last the entire TFO and lock me out of turning it off everytime I use it until i die.

    I'm working on playing differently so using my Doorwedge Sci Torp (Merian) and well the battle cloak just seems to not function correctly for me. Activate it go stealth all is well.. try to turn it off after 10 seconds for the trait im using (Stealh bomber) but the option is greyed out unusble for the rest of the TFO or until I die?? And I am still cloaked unable to do anything but fly around.. I'm on Xbox so anyone else who experienced this let me know so i can report another effing bug.. or if I'm just being stupid enlighten me what I am doing wrong.

    It is too bright in here!

    At this stage I will never blame pugs for not being able to do the objectives in Cat's Tale.

    You'll be lucky to even see anything.

    Khitomer Alliance Set fix?

    Are they ever going to fix the Khitomer Alliance Set reclaimable items so they're level-less until you upgrade them, like the other reclaimable space equip items?

    Fastest 5-10 TFOs to complete in private

    I'm trying to complete the 100 TFO milestone for Gamma recruit but players are picking the longest TFOS in Random or are just... ugggh. Anyway I figured it might be faster if I ran TFOs solo in private so I have 2 questions:

    1. What are the 5-10 fastest TFOs to complete (so I can run a play loop) in private?
    2. Is it possible to set them up as custom playlist so I don't have to thumb through the picklist?

    I can't decide what to get for my Premium ship choice! Please help!

    This is my first time completing the event campaign, and I can't stand to wait anymore! Unfortunately, I don't know what to get as my premium ship. There are so many options, and I want to get something that satisfies me. I need some help narrowing the list down.

    I'm a Starfleet Tactical captain that likes to play both FAW and BO. I'll often alternate between broadsiding and forward-firing, too. Space Barbie and Starfleet standard themes are pretty important to me, so I usually stick to non-science Starfleet ships. (I also don't know anything about exotic builds.) To give you a sense of my taste, the ships I've spent the most time flying are the Arbiter, the Hysperian, and the Gagarin; the Typhoon is now my favorite--not just because it performs well, but also because it's the prettiest ship I have.

    I prefer larger ships to escorts, but I'm open to either option.

    I did watch some videos going over the premium options, but I still want to get some more ideas from you all before I decide which one I'll go with.

    And these are some of the ships I've already been considering:

    • Inquiry Battlecruiser - I've waited on this for the longest time and I actually like the design (maybe not the BBQ grill), but there are more ships now, and I also don't like the fact that the ship was massively downsized in the game. Still, I know it's a very solid ship and I believe I'd be mostly happy with it.
    • Theseus MW Destroyer - It's pretty and is a solid DEW platform.
    • Constitution III - As a ST: Picard hero ship, it would work well with Space Barbie. The narrow-angle phaser beam arrays also interest me. But this has a 4/4 weapons layout and I think the design is a bit anachronistic.
    • The Texas MW Escort - It's a cute-looking Lower Decks ship and has a cool console. But I seem to remember reading somewhere that people weren't loving it.
    • Excelsior II Intel Heavy Cruiser - It's a cruiser, which is a plus, it's got a great DEW console/trait, it was in ST: PIC, and it's pretty good looking. Not my favorite design, but pretty nonetheless. It's a 4/4 though, which is a slight turnoff.
    • World Razer Temporal Ops Juggernaut - It can easily fit in my Standard Starfleet theme with the Galaxy skin. I like the Galaxy class, which is essentially a hero ship; of course, this is also a larger ship. It's a good FAW (correct me if I'm wrong on this one)/BO/Torp platform, has the Juggernaut array, and has great seating. My only major gripe about the ship is that it is a Terran warship steeped in violence and genocide. Though that will hardly matter with the Galaxy skin on.
    • Sagan Command Cruiser - I think this ship is gorgeous, and it's a canon hero ship too. It's great for tanking, but not so much for other things. If I get this, the primary reason will be for its aesthetics.
    • Kirk Temporal Heavy Battlecruiser - Again, I'd get this for the aesthetics. It's one of the prettier 32c. Disco ships.
    • Deimos Pilot Destroyer - This one has a meta console. It's small and speedy and has a cool-sounding trait, too.
    • Kelvin Timeline Starship - I'm not sure about this one. I don't have a Kelvin Timeline starship and I have mixed feelings about it. Kelvin Enterprise is pretty, though.

    Is there anything I missed that I should also consider? Which of these ships are better than the others? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Klingon Ambassador Outfits

    I had a Star Trek binge today with the toddler and I couldn't help but think of STO when I saw the Klingon ambassador's outfits in IV and VI. They really had such a bold and distinctive look. Is there any outfit in the game that looks remotely like them, even with a bit of fiddling around?
