    For the materials, that means that the ships will now be able to use the TOS version?

    Resolved an issue that caused stacks of this trait's bonus to be applied based on Pre-Resist Damage.

    yeah...there was no 'issue' - you DESIGNED it that way, it wasn't bugged - it may have been overpowered, but it damn well wasn't bugged​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.

    Yes, thanks for putting that force-verify does not work on the launcher. Please fix soon. :)

    Well given the tons of changes to the recently released ships, it certainly seems like they were rushed out the door.

    I hope so. As good as the Crossfield already looks, I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to look astounding in a TOS hull material.

    Wait a second, the new emotes are actually meant to be account unlocked? Ahahah! That's so not getting fixed till after the Anniversary event is well over, if it is ever getting fixed.

    These changes sound pretty good overall.

    This is a fairly typical reaction from older Trek fans - the newest ship is the worst, until later, when it's not. The Galaxy-class got it pretty bad too back in the day, so I'm told.

    Except I am not even an older Trek fan. There's plenty of reasons why I find it fugly, and while I am not a fan of the Galaxy I don't find it ugly overall.

    I appreciate the note about emotes supposed to be account unlocks.

    However I see another issue that will become a problem down the line: Discovery Kit Modules.
    They are not bound on equip but bound immediately when you open the Special Equipment Pack.
    Not a problem now when you still can trade the equipment pack itself.
    Huge problem when discovery stuff moves into infinity down the line. I do not need to spell out why do I?

    So I think a different approach to balancing the Honored Dead trait should be considered.

    Doing Gauntlet on advanced, I haven't seen 20 stacks (I get around 14-15) and my Fleetmate got up to 20 once when we were testing the trait (and died shortly after because he aggro'ed too many things). If you reduce the benefit and the pre-resist condition, people won't survive to see the full 20 stack benefit or worse, their combat will end before they get it.

    What we were thinking is reduce the stacks to 10, set the resist bonus to 15, hull regen at 2%, and keep the post-resist condition. This gives you 150 resist (37.5%), 20% hull regen, and is easier to obtain the full effect even though it won't be as powerful as a full 20 stacks of 10 resist (which would be 50% if you can manage to get there).

    The biggest problem right now is that there are few if any engagements where the combat last long enough to get the 20 stacks. Any phase changes will end combat and the stacks go away. So having less stacks that give a decent amount will benefit people more on both shorter engagements and longer ones.

    At least the beating with the nerf bat will bring the price down on the Exchange.

    Reduced magnitude of bonus received from each stack from +20 Damage Resistance Rating and 2% Hull Regeneration to +10 Damage Resistance Rating and 1% Hull Regeneration. you just need to reduce the number of stacks from 20 to 10 and leave +20 Damage Resistance Rating and 2% Hull Regeneration. 20 stacks very difficult to score fight last less

    so throw it away now? I have a lot of these still.

    I'm an "older" Trek fan. So what? I hate the Crossfield and Sarc, love and have the Walker. Just because some of us don't like it, doesn't mean we don't have legitimate reasons or that we're just "older Trek Fans" and therefore our opinion is irrelevant. I actually liked the Galaxy btw, and the NX.

    You can still aim by pressing the aim key. Are you talking about shooter mode? I'm fairly sure that still exists too.

    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    It would be nice if they could fix being able to turn in DOff's for better or worse quality DOff's. This has been broken for at least a month now. Trying to round up enough white quality DOff's for fleet projects as well as trying to improve my DOff rosters has basically come to a standstill.

    The X-key Aim mode, they managed to TRIBBLE it up quite a while ago. As soon as you activate it on any character created after that point, it auto-deactivates itself. Pretty sure it has been brought up often, but they never seem to fix it.

    That would work as well and with the post-resist damage count instead of the pre-resist, it should balance out decently.

    I think there is switch somewhere in the options that can change the Aim key from toggle to keeping it... yep - just checked on Tribble in Options, Controls tab (second or third from bottom, you need to scroll down) : "Aim mode as a toggle"
