    Also, everyone pick up the starter pack if you can manage. The ship is a nice bulky one that'll work beautifully for your Dom character. I love it.
    It is a great deal, though I wish you could pick other ships. I'm not a fan of huge bulky ships unless they're carriers, and this ship only comes with the single hangar. Still, not a bad ship to start with for our Jem'Hadar characters. (I did end up picking up the starter pack.)

    While I like the expansion, I kinda wish they would let us customize the uniform of the Jem'Hadar Boff we get as a reward from installation 4028, Just annoys me that I can't equip it with that awesome backpack the Jem'hadar vanguard uniform.

    I'm a bit more peeved that my KDF JH can't use his faction-uniform because it's bugged.

    I hesitated to even nab the honor guard set because it's also probably bugged.

    I picked up the full Gamma pack, I also purchased a T6 Jem'Hadar bug ship and the new Light Battle Cruiser. My Jem'Hadar is pretty well equipped now, I just need the T6 Dreadnought and the T6 heavy escort to round out his fleet.

    No need to save up for the full pack right away because you can buy the vanguard starter pack now from the cstore and they give you a 2000zen discount (cost of the starter pack) on the full gamma vanguard pack.

    Yes! I pre-bought the starter pack and went looking at the full pack after launch. Price shows 11,000 ZEN versus the normal 13,000 ZEN. Previously if you bought the smaller pack you were disqualified from buying the larger pack, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore--or at least not with these packs.

    Spotted on Reddit, this may be the epic DOFF reward from the Gamma recruits.

    It is, and not even that good so no nerf needed.

    I agree that it's not that good, but 20% of anything is still something.

    20% of 100k DPS is still 20k extra that you weren't doing before, but the question is, what do you sacrifice to put this DOFF in?

    It does not work that way, unfortunately.

    I hope this will help you to understand how it works: https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/w...age_categories

    That's not how damage calculations are done in this game. This doff is a 20% cat 1 damage buff, which means it will give you about half a tac console for your weapons.

    This link should help you understand STO damage buffs.
