New re-vamps on Tribble

"The Space Attack Patterns skill was moved to Lieutenant rank. It was replaced with a Space Threat Control skill that increases your Threat while attacking, and grants a slight increase in Damage Resistance."

"GROUND COMMON:
Lieutenant: Weapon Proficiency - Buffs ranged weapon damage.
Lt Commander: Personal Shield Generator - Buffs Shield HP.
Commander: Threat Control - Increased Threat when attacking. Adds some Damage Resistance.
Captain: Willpower - Resist all control effects (hold, disable, slow, knock, repel, confuse, placate).
Admiral/General: Combat Armor - Improves Armor."

The CoS brought this point up the other night in "that" other game. His discussion was there was no ability for Engineers/tanks to get the attention of the enemy to actually tank.

I'm hoping this takes care of that, if not it's a beginning.

I got to say I'm excited bout all the new changes and stuff being taken care. It makes me happy to say this will still be my #1 game. Star Wars I love you, your my fav sci-fi, but STO is more fun to me

It's about time. I never understood why STO never gave engineers direct taunts.

I think you missed it a bit here huck.... the list you have is traits that will be COMMON or SHARED between all of the classes for ground combat... meaning tacs, scis, and engs will have these abilities.... whether or not they give engs some hold/taunt like abilities is yet to be seen.

ummm......no i didn't miss it all. After all STO is unique, its not like other MMO's(which i like about it). Even though its not an ability, it's PASSIVE. If a Eng, or even shield tank Sci, spec into this then they should take incoming fire. That's the way it is now, whoever is biggest threat gets the enemy's attention.

Does it matter its shared between all branches? No. Why? What tac in an escort is going to want to spec into that?

Common or shared is irrelevant, it just gives u options .

After that's what Tribble is for, to get it ironed out to work like it sounds they intend it to.

you have to remember that these are GROUND skills not space.. it still sounds like your talking about space...
