To be fair, being sick and having to record this 3x because I was coughing so much probably contributed to me being salty about adjusting my video schedule.

[@hououinkymeowma2381]

@@CounterYoloGaming or..wait. No one wants to watch a video where the creator is salty towards their viewers, and openly admits that the video will be shit because he doesn't care because hes sick.

Dude, you do a good job laying out what's what on the hows and whys of STO. The effort really shines through and you should get a lot of thanks for what you and your friends online chew through to bring here man. It's clear, concise and made easy to understand. Would recommend this channel to any greenhorn noob. And we've been getting a lot of new and returning players lately as I'm sure you've noticed. Keep it up, you do good.👌

Hope you feel better bud. Thanks for the upload. Cheers

Console coupon is account unlock, samsar can only be obtained via arc points on xbox not PS4

[@ScaerieTale]

The new "Epic Starter Pack" just launched. For $28 you get a T6 coupon plus other goodies, AND (thank you Reddit!) you can get Rocket League free, which gives you a $10 coupon. So I just scored a T6 ship coupon for $18. Hoping this video is still accurate because the Cardie Flight Deck carrier is the one I was drooling over lol. Thanks for doing these great videos. I was worried coming back to STO from a long break that there wouldn't be much community content guides. I'm glad I was wrong!

[@CounterYoloGaming]

Cryptic Studios hasn't released much of the 3k zen C-Store starships recently (that would count for the coupon), so this video is still accurate for the moment.

[@thunderstar6997]

First, thanks for the breakdown and content. I definitely refer your channel for new players and it's even good for old players who need a refresh on the game breakdown.

[@grindergaming4572]

Great video guy, you always answer exactly what I am wondering. I know a few of the good traits but need to know more so I can decided which ones wills fit best in my builds or just have to have around. Thanks for the great content ^^

[@stephengarland3930]

You have to mention that the Improved Gravity Well trait is available from all the factions Pilot ships not just the Romulan one.

[@Milan_1389]

Is it ok to use History Will Remember with Honored Dead trait? I want to build tank with my engineer.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

Yep, they synergize well if you can afford Honored Dead today (as you pretty much have to buy the Sarcophagus Carrier for a single character if you don't have it unlocked for your specific captain already). Most tanks use 1-2 additional starship traits for added survival beyond History Will Remember (so they can go more dps-oriented in the console slots).

[@Milan_1389]

@@CounterYoloGaming I have Honored dead on my Science and Eng toons, I didnt get on my tac toon. Science is my main toon, also I have DPRM on him, and those 2 traits do You think that is solid start for thank? I have coupone so I am going to take Narendra to take a trait.

[@Tstahl962]

I agree with this list, but I have a question: Where's the Tactical Odyssey? It has a very good trait for most meta DPS beam builds, it has good console and decent BOFF layout, and it's full endgame stat. Just kinda wondering, would love an answer, also think the Presidio isn't that bad either.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

It's only usable by federation captains & allies. I value cross-faction starships higher in this list, which is why the Flagship Scimitars (with the same traits & consoles, but usable by ALL captains) are in the honorable mentions instead of them.

[@spartann117]

And the samsar can be purchased with Arc points. But to get enough points for it you need to play never winter as well. You can’t obtain enough points in sto alone.

[@Doublebarreledsimian]

are they doing arc points again? I stopped using arc when they stopped giving those out a while back.

[@spartann117]

It’s a character unlock only via a Phoenix lockbox ship. 😕

[@Gorexpert]

you are 50% wrong/right. Pheonix lockbox ships are character exclusive however the ship you earn via the featured TFO/console version of the coupon IS an account wide unlock.

[@spartann117]

That was my interpretation of the reward. But if I’m wrong then that is definitely a bonus.

[@yukikuran911]

Console versions only getting a account unlock ship from the Phoenix lock box ships

[@Duckspuddle]

Thinkin outside the box so to speak. The creation of the ship token by STO is a business decision. Players participate in an event to get credit towards a ship token in the zen store~>business part** it is a cheat on STO's part as they do no not have to spend time, effort, or imagination to come up with a unique ship as a reward for an event.. You basically are playing an event to get some old ship that is already in game/in zen store. Where all the effort /design funding has already been done.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

Though this is probably also true, I am someone who likes to try to see it from the most positive light possible. In this perspective, I feel that what the dev's are doing here is allowing those active players who don't spend money nor exploit the Dilithium --> Zen economy of this game to still have Zen Starships be attainable on their account by being active all throughout the year instead of just during 3 months of the year (to get the 3-4 event starships). Just an alternative thought to think about (which is actually anti-FOMO, something I can appreciate, as I have complained about that A LOT on this channel).

[@tarran6176]

hmm, sadly I have every one of these ships already, guess I will save the coupon for ships that haven't been released. Thanks for the video Yolo.

[@deavonw]

The Suliban Silik is much better than the Ghemor. I see what you are saying though.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

The Suliban Silik is better, but you do need the fleet version to get the best stats out of it -- and its trait doesn't quite measure up to other traits anymore in current STO. It barely made the list the last time honestly.

[@deavonw]

@@CounterYoloGaming good point. I had forgotten that it needs a Teir 4 shipyard which us way out of bounds for a lot of players. Not sure how their pets measure up but they can be used on all carriers which is nice.

[@tyneskipper]

have you done one of these for the console prize (which is an epic phoenix token)?

[@CounterYoloGaming]

6:52 is where I talk about it specifically for XB/PS

[@acasualcarebeargamer]

Excellent video, super thankful. Get well soon!

[@jeremypowell1829]

I think us Consol players got the shaft with this epic coupon from the Phoenix box, PC players get any ship from the C store. I have 12 characters and play every day, I already have every ship in the Phoenix box all they are is rewards from different events if you’re an every day player you’re gonna get those rewards anyway of course a few of the ships were before it was available on Consol but I already got every epic ship. Either get another copy For one of my other characters or get some upgrade boxes. It’s bullshit that’s how they reward someone who plays every day. I got my coupon two days ago, I don’t know what to do with my coupon considering I have everything from the Phoenix box! Not to mention there’s still one and a half events left and I already got the grand prize.

[@leefoster4133]

I can't agree with the ranking but that's only my take on it. The 31 century should have been number 1. But we are all free to choice as we please. I need to sort out these ships and I have for the reasons I have it. The only one am not overally happy with is the Klingon. Don't want any pets, large ship, 5/3 or 4/4 MW ship. There is more but I never find it 100% for End Game.

[@michaelkata2342]

FYI this T6 token may not work for new or relatively new ships added to the store. Found that out the hard way when I tried to use it on a ship I wanted, but it didn't work and it still cost 3000 zen.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

True, but the token doesn't expire -- and starships generally leave the new section of the store within about 6 months of it being added to the game. Having patience, you can still wait to use the token until it leaves the store and it is available to have tokens used on it.

[@adamwilder2943]

Thanks Mr. Counteryologaming for this video covering even more coupon ships to obtain.

[@shaungriffith9506]

@CounterYolo I love your videos, can't wait for the two hour one. I am a new player (on console cos my pc is broken) and totally appreciate all the info you share. I'm like a sponge for your knowledge, Thank you.

[@zelda3k838]

do you have any videos for making new chracters, tips etc

[@CounterYoloGaming]

There is this video that has some tips for leveling in this game, though it is definitely lacking in many areas and I will probably need to make a few more videos to shore things out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ69fqurfNyJe6c. STO is quite easy in the early levels, but starts getting harder & your builds start to matter more once you pass level 30/40 range. Science is the easiest profession (easy to do both damage & healing to keep yourself up in ground, and respectable profession abilities in space), Tactical is the generally best profession due to dps scaling in this game, and Engineering is the hardest & most situational profession. Once you get to level 30, check out this video on my suggestions for your away team in ground content -- it basically allows you to not worry about ground content at all in story missions (just ignore the ground equipment there, with the abilities suggested they are just "nice" to additionally have on them). kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXrWn3-OmLWsetE At level 40, I'd suggest really deciding on what playstyle in space you like to do. Energy-based builds usually use just one energy type (phasers, disruptors, etc) and one weapon type (beam arrays, dual cannons, etc). In my opinion, beam array builds are the easiest to perform in, but sciencey builds are good as well if you build for it (but it isn't that effective when leveling honestly). Dual cannon builds give the best dps (dual cannons in front & turrets in the back), but their weapons have a tiny firing arc on them. Once you get to max level (65 currently), feel free to check out the budget beam video or the budget science video as well. They are very cheap builds that only rely upon gear from missions, crafting, & the reputation systems (cheaper than most other builds you will find out there).

Nice video i have used your advice on things and it has helped.

[@tyneskipper]

would you ever do a video on the best promo ships and what each has to offer?

[@CounterYoloGaming]

I haven't done ALL of the starships, but a while ago I gave my opinion on my take on the top 6 at the end of my Top Tanks in STO video. I personally don't feel any of the new starships have beaten out those ones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpzPp5yBoteWiJY

[@cobaltblue1975]

Thanks for the video, also another cool thing about the Cardi ship is you unlock spiral wave disruptors for the account as well.

[@DeadInsideDave]

so as a rom captain with 2 of the tier 6 token i have about 10 ships to choose from all meh waste of time earning them. and tbh i too outraged by the predatory nature of the phoenix packs, they dont disclose odds and ive heard horror stories where people have opened thousands of boxes only to get zero ship tokens, when questioned on drop rates they run away an hide or block you, i used to love this game but if im honest with myself i think there the prostate cancer of gaming

[@CounterYoloGaming]

I have an "Economy of STO" video coming out soon to break all of that down for you -- included the drop rates of everything. Once it releases, there will be a TL;DR version on STO Reddit for those that don't want to watch the whole video nor read the entire script of the video.

[@jacobpruett9204]

Based on my own research, the phoenix rates go something like this: Epic: 1/1000 Ultra Rare: 5/1000 Very Rare: 150/1000 Rare: 350/1000 Common: 500/1000 They are crude estimates from what people have reported when opening >1000 boxes at a time but seem to fit pretty good. In other words, if you don't have a spare 4 million dilithium to burn, then your really just hoping for some serious RNG to go your way.

[@naomy1701]

pretty much agree with about anything u said in this, beside one thing: the Cardie Flight Deck carrier console is great, no matter what build u use it on, it draw enemy attn from u, heals shields and adds dmg, plus if u use all 3 Cardie consoles, its CD is down to 1 min, which gives it 100% uptime. even in endgame content this console set is always with me and so far it did me a great service always. either way, it depends from player to player i guess, but overall thats a very helpful vid for ppl that dont have alot ships yet and cant decide what to get. very well done, thx

Hi

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

Seems I only half botched-up my selections apparently! I did pick #8 (Vandros) but oops I broke-a-pack & selected the (Kopesh) with my earned -100% coupons. I also selected #7 (Tebok) as part of that 3 ships pack from Mudd's when it was on sale & also chose the Romulan over the JH Temporal Warship version. The Temporal Warship bundle 4 ships are still new for the -100% coupons btw. I'll have to consider #4 (Morrigu) if I want to chase dps with my last token from that Mudd's pack. Very detailed & excellent video as usual & wow a 2 hr long video.

[@CounterYoloGaming]

Getting the Khopesh is a common mistake currently because it is part of the new 5k zen romulan pack that was released with the 2k zen packs as well. I wish it was advertised better of the breaking of packs in this game honestly...

thank u ;)
