Parts 2-3:

Found from the above link in the related videos section

Enjoy!

Just toss it in the fleet bank then?

Changed your sig to the new one for you. I can't see why it didn't let you save it, but we will look into it for next time.

Okay, I made big changes to a BO and hence my sig. Still refusing to let me save a new sig. It's not a cookies thing, best I can tell.

And a preview:


That BO (the sixth one) looks much better, don't you think?

Thanks
Peace

Cool! I haven't done the Vulcan diplo mish yet, so now when I do I'll be prepared.

Thanks for the helpful hints, all! I'm definitely going to give my tac's exploit weapons and see how good they are a vaporizing my enemies. But I'm also going to keep one for myself, because I love watching the baddies go poof. Bwahahahahaha!

A couple of my tips:

* Can't find one of the historians for the Vulcan diplomatic mission? Go down the stairs. Keep going the same direction, around and past the fountain. You'll see a faint trail going up a steep hill, which ends up being marked by huge torches. At the top of the hill is a round building. If you think of the building like a compass, and you're at South on the building, the last historian is at Northwest, just outside the building behind a little hill. Very hard to find but one of the keys to solving the mission.

* Have an unsupported video card, but want more detailed screen captures of your characters and ships? Go into Options > Video and crank the video quality all the way up. Your sound and manoeuverability will be shot but you'll get more details in for your pics. This is best done at a tailor or ship customisation station, or at an idle point in a mission.

Seannewboy: LOVE your captain's look! That's the kind of detail I can't get with my unsupported video card. Time for me to upgrade, eh? :-)

He's certainly better than the last guy in the office, but I have my problems with him. I definitely get the feeling he takes our entire community for granted and treats us like a gigantic GayTM.

That much has been obvious since before the election. He claimed to support gay rights, but wouldn't condone gay marriage.

Most Dems are this way.

These are all great tips. The only suggestion I have is that I've found equipping one of your Tac BOs with an Exploit weapon works really well. I've definitely seen the AI use this set-up effectively an exploit an exposed enemy when I'm busy dealing with something else.

no no! you are fine :D I should have explained better >

OOOOOooooooooo i get it now, maybe now Mensa will send that invite.:whistle:

You need the actual image link :) it would end in .jpg. I'm on my phone but try going to that site and there should be an option for a link to it with the .jpg. If not, try right clicking on the full size image and press copy image link

It always cheers me immensely when I see raging douchebags like McCance called precisely what they are.

I love you George...and Brad too.

If you want emblems quickly on fleet actions (big dig,and such) and do not want/need high power gear from them, change instances. You will end up in the lower tier game (ltcmdr or such) and your admiral can waltz through with almost total impunity.

Talking to myself, but I thought of another one:

Give your BOs Expose weapons, and use an Exploit weapon yourself. This is simplified, but basically there's no point in your whole team using expose weapons, or your whole team using exploit weapons. You need both.

Some others that may seem obvious, but totally aren't if you're just starting out:

Match your ship weapons to your captain's weapon skills. If you already have 9 training points in phasers, and none in tetryon weapons, try to find some good phaser weapons on the exchange.

The same goes for matching tactical consoles to ship's weapons. This is also kind of obvious, but there are consoles for weapon flavors (phaser, disruptor, tetryon), and weapon types (beam, cannon, torpedo). A pre-fire chamber won't help out a ship with all beam arrays and torpedoes.

You get a free respec at each major promotion, so don't be afraid to use it. Did you accidentally assign training points to mines, when you never equip mines? You can fix it by visiting the trainer at the center of ESD (among other places). You can also buy respec tokens in the C-Store.

When you're just starting out, get a tac BO with high yield torpedoes. This is totally a matter of opinion. When I first started in open-beta, I loved beam overload (even though it was bugged and your beams sometimes stopped working completely). Then I discovered high yield torps. Hit an average enemy with a tachyon beam from 10 km, fire your high yields, and then quickly broadside them with beams, and you can often take the ship out with just that first volley, even as a lowly Lt.

Here's one I read recently, but haven't really tried yet. Get your BOs to mount a frontal assault, while you sneak off to the side or back of the group for maximum flanking damage. You can do this by setting waypoints for your team. Also if you tell your team to attack first, they'll draw most of the aggro, leaving you free to flank. (Learn the team and team member commands available to you as icons by your team members in the upper left corner of the screen.)

Anyone else? Helpful hints for our newbie brothers and sisters?

Since all i can seem to do is post that actual link when i try to save it to my profile. Which should also explain why i was unwilling to try and make one myself.
