Jay, Tilor, and I would like to introduce the Star Trek Online Build Evolution Tracker and Technical Education Resource aka STO BETTER, our Star Trek Online site. So instead, we’re going in a different direction. They also don’t show up as easily in general search results on stobuilds. Now, we could have used the STObuilds wiki to alleviate some of these issues (you can embed pics on wiki pages), but it also seemed pretentious for us to use wiki pages for our builds and you can’t comment on those anyway. We’re aiming for something more akin to a wiki rather than a forum. Searching for things on reddit works…most of the time, but reddit is designed to be a free-flowing stream of information, not a repository of assessed knowledge. We’ve heard that feedback directly from people not used to reddit.įormatting reddit posts is not exactly easy or intuitive and then there’s the character limit, which Jay and I at least run into fairly often. You can’t directly embed images, much less videos, into reddit posts and while the general /r/stobuilds audience is more or less used to it, it is formidable for new players to read a massive wall of text and reddit tables. Eventually, the ability to comment on a post goes away after six months.
STAR TREK ONLINE DPS BUILD EXPLORATION CRUISER UPDATE
That means either making a whole new build post which is time-consuming for every update even with copy-paste or else tweaking an existing post and potentially not getting feedback on it. We like to make new builds, but we also like to revamp our classics with the latest toys.
Reddit is not conducive to maintaining and updating builds. Since then, we’ve finished dozens of builds, posts, and guides either directly posted here or made in the Google Suite and linked here, but we’ve had some ongoing frustrations with the reddit format, especially with new reddit. Some of my favorite memories in that time are teaming up with brilliant, dedicated geniuses like /u/tilorfire27 and /u/Jayiie to reverse-engineer various pieces of this ahem Cryptic game and make them more accessible to the wider STO community. My first posts on /r/stobuilds and explorations into the world of STO mechanics were back in 2016 and it has been a very fun five years.
