    The thing with Dabo is interesting: "The range of energy credits or GPL that can be bet at Dabo has been increased to be between 100 and 1 million"

    I wasn't aware you could bet GPL. Anyway it'll be good for endeavors to be able to bet more than 100

    Floating NPC with improved Floater action!

    Pre-Summer Event goodness :)

    There's a little arrow next to the wager amount that defaults to EC, but also allows GPL if you click it and select GPL.

    This update will also make getting the "Bet x amount of EC in Dabo" and "Win x amount of GPL in Dabo" accolades significantly less grindy, so that's welcome.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Well, Borts work is done. EC inflation now under control. ;)

    "Resolved an issue that would cause EV Suits to not appear properly with certain costume configurations."
    Saw this a week or two ago during a P1A live-stream. The guy had no arms lol.

    "The range of energy credits or GPL that can be bet at Dabo has been increased to be between 100 and 1 million."
    I like this minor change since now I can bet a bit more trying to earn enough for that "TRON" outfit.

    "Improved Mudd's Time Device uptime from 90 sec cooldown / 90 sec duration to 25 sec cooldown / 30 sec duration."
    Hadn't even heard of this item or if I did I forgot so glad to have read & learned something more.

    I guess some nice patches in these notes & of course the big two ships being released tomorrow. Good luck to all the gamblers!

    It'll be great for my Romulans and KDF characters to be able to wear their faction EV suits again!

    Thanks for the fixes and updates..

    But Dabo didn't need that..There is nothing useful to use the latinum on anywhere..

    Thanks for the fixes 😊
    People ask how long have I been playing STO - well the answer is simple: I have been here since the beginning. I just haven't always had a lot to say.

    Time gates added to Cure and Khitomer space. Thanks but no thanks, been playing these 2 missions since they were made into space only and neither require a time gate at the start.

    Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
  • ichaerus1ichaerus1 Member Posts: 986 Arc User
    @ambassadorkael#6946 What about those of us who still have unresolved event projects? I still have a pair of characters, each of them having a Mirror Invasion project that uses the old currency, that didn't auto-complete.

    Is the map zooming "fix" for the main map only or does it also prevent the compass/minimap from being at a random zoom every time you transition between zones?

    Reading the change to gambling gave me visions of a Tuvix style merging of Grand Nagus Zek and Dr. Evil.

    "One million DABO!!!!!"

    Won't do anything to curb ec inflation because in STO's canon latinum isn't worth the gold its encased in.

    Will help a bit in raising EC for pricey things...like the 2 Disco ships today

    Sadly, it won't.

    No matter what currency you bet, Dabo pays out GPL.

    There is no way to convert your GPL to EC.

    yes, they do, along with every other TFO so people actually have time to prepare pets - and mines as well since they're good now​​
    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

    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.

    Adjusted the Multi-Spectral Emitters on Romulan Drone ships to be able to adapt to a much wider group of enemies.
    There's a nice little change. :)

    While I find waiting for the full 30seconds to long a short 15seconds start timer after a loading screen is perfectly reasonable and beneficial to many players.

    funny thing, though...this so-called '30 second' timer doesn't actually work - whenever i load into a map, there's only like 10-15 seconds remaining

    it's like it starts when the FIRST player loads in when it SHOULD start when ALL players have loaded​​

    If there was I'd not put it past them to poke the odds away from a decent ec payout rate.

    Now if they could only work out how to better utilize the GPL in the game other than holographic (or trophy) tchotchkes, that would be fine. At it stands I have 2.5 million GPL sitting there and accumulating because of DOFF missions and the occasional Endeavors.

    And let's face it -- if the EC farming isn't going toward the Fleetbase sink, it's being used for purchasing lockbox ships other players have dropped into the exchange, so that inflation isn't going away any time soon.

    You know what... I thought about this after visiting this page to see if there's any changes, and there seems to be some.. How 'bout adding all the emotes and fashion choises that people forget to get/didn't get the chance to collect on the events. That way it's spread around to everyone regardless of when they join?

    Woven Hair (Female hair choice) should no longer look metallic.
    New "Version 2" of some existing female hairs have been updated and added.

    Ooo, some more attention to hair. I'm hoping at some point we're opening up the hair choices (male and female) to allow more species access to the Gothic Long, Swoop and Wavy Long hairstyles, and giving us Lorca and Landry's hairstyles too.

    I love that idea. Or a trade option to get Phoenix Prize Packs or Lobi with GPL.

    Bug with the new Dabo in Quarks bar (DS9 Instance 5), Allows for the player to enter 1,000,000 EC/GPL as your account is checked prior to the bet, but still caps the bet to 100EC/100GPL past 100EC/100GPL bet.
