Answer one: The physical and CG models are their best references for STO ship design.
Answer two: I just realized that most of the queues I do and enjoy are for events, not actual STFs. For actual STFs I’d say the one I do most often is Infected Conduit. I’m really looking forward to Counterpoint though as I always enjoy seeing other people’s characters in the ground game.

2) For queues in general, “Mine Trap” since my Sci-AoE-Heals are actually helpful there. For STFs by the strict definition, CSA. It is the fastest when your team is competent, and a world of pain and frustation when your team doesnt know what to do.

Question #1) Physical/CG models from the shows/films
Question #2) I’d have to say Borg Disconnected is my favorite, likely because I play that one more than any others due to the variety of marks you can get from it.
I posted as Kyle last week, but changed it to my in-game handle. I hope that’s okay!

Q1.) “We always look at our reference for general inspiration, […] our best examples are the physical and [computer generated] models used in the shows.”
Q2.) A favorite STF, I would have to say the variant of the Crystalline Cataclysm STF that is active during the Crystalline event. I find the extra tricks available to the entity and the addition of the Terran Empire ships make it more fun during the limited event, that and all those sweet, sweet marks. 🙂

Question 1:
The best reference material for #STO starships comes from the physical and CG models used in TV series.
Question 2:
My favourite STF is Mine Trap. I played it about a week ago after not playing it for months and I finally remembered why I used to love it so much. It’s one of the only STFs where all doesn’t rely on DPS and mre DPS, but the point is actually to cooperate and think. 🙂
