Nice.

I haven't had much of a chance (or will, to be honest, MMOs aren't my favorite type of game but what the heck, its free :P ) to get online.


So what time do you guys play?

To be honest, this hasnt played much like an MMO for me. I've spent most my time flying around in fleet battles.

I can be on anytime friday. Give me a time and (barring some unfortunate event) I'll be there.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Well I've been home on bed rest and now that I'm able to sit up again I'll be online for a good amount of time. Seeing how I can't do much of anything else.

Leveling doesn't take long. Once you can participate in the Mirror Incursions do it. Play for an hour and you'll gain three to four levels easy. That plus DOffs and you level quick just doing missions and running incursions.

Yeah, I have two instances I can run so in one hour. I run them, then go do a mission, get back and they are ready to go again.

QTs are the best overall weapons. Good punch and their RoF isn't too bad.

My personal favorite are chronitons, but thats because they slow down enemies which is extremely useful in the STFs (level 44-50 special PvE activities).

I only wish that ground combat was as entertaining as space.

OMFG, I have 2, count them 2 QT-Mine launchers! I put a pair of QTLs on my forward, and a pair QTMLs on the aft. Just lovely with tearing up enemies following me and I don't even have to target them. I get chased by a lot of fighters just to leave them a gift in my path.

Nice. Mine spam can lead to many unexpected kills.

Fly into a group, then fly out and just drop mines. Its not so bad if you're on a solo run and outnumbered. If you are grouped up I would recommend switching to a energy/torp combo for both fore and aft.

My current ship loadout and skill set up.

I'm running a beamboat set up, three polaron beams with [Acc] and [Dmg] up front along with a QT with the same. Duplicate it in back. Add in a pair of +DMG polaron consoles, a +damage QT console, and some +Weapon Power engineering consoles to try and help with the drain on my weapon power from broadsiding six beam arrays.

And my captain: http://imgur.com/nZff3

Tyyrlym is already in a fleet but my alt Cesina isn't. So if you see Cesina@tyyrlym online sometime give me a yell.
