Same problem (UK) here. I'd like to think the staff haven't got time to respond because they're too busy fixing the problem....
-
Viewing stats in system space. First became aware of it while people were shooting at me, in fact.... It seems to be fixed now, though. Back up to - well, a touch above what I'd considered usual (about 1% higher, in fact.) Maybe changing maps a few times, or relogging a couple of times, was all it took to bring the…

@finsches123: no, "pecus" is another word meaning "cow" (interestingly, it's the root of "pecunia", being the stuff which you buy cows with), and "buy" is a legitimate secondary meaning of "paro, parare" - I'm working from Thomas McCarthy's "Latin-English Lexicon" here, if you want to check my references. I suppose "Para…

So, OK, is the title "Para Pacem" ("Prepare for peace") or "Para Pecum" ("Buy a cow")?
-
Well, it seems to have recovered today - possibly yesterday's maintenance covered whatever foul things Microsoft did to my computer, or possibly the computer digested whatever MS threw at it and settled down. (The event log pointed a finger at something called ArcOverlayStub.dll, not that there would be anything much I…
-
Well, I'm now in a situation where I get the pop-up to start the queue, and I accept, and the queue never starts - "Planetary Assault" in the Karemma Sector today, if it's important. I can see a number of ships just sitting around doing nothing, I suspect they're getting the same problem. Good to hear a fix is in the…

Count me as another experiencing problems with Sinister Gathering today....

I got "Savior" from Mine Trap on my main, and happily use that one.

Surella I am in something of a pensive mood as I make my way back to the bridge. The impression of my - experience - in Vansittaert's device has already faded, as I said; it was something too vast for a single brain to encompass, unaided. Nonetheless, I cannot help but wonder - should I have taken that opportunity? Did I…
-
M'eioi "Whit in the guid Lord's name did ye dae, woman?" Carolyn Caird yells at Surella. The team from Temporal Investigations arrived aboard the Madagascar ahead of every other Starfleet ship. It's headed up by Caird and her associate T'Mev, an elegant Vulcan woman in science division uniform... whose Vulcan…
-
Carayl Nothing happens. That's the bizarre thing. Nothing happens. Vansittaert stands there with his mouth gaping comically open, and Surella charges across the catwalk, straight through the focus of the psi emitters. There's a brief moment when she seems to falter, that's all - and is there a tiny change in the humming…

If there's an analogue in the Trek universe to the British, I think it might be the Andorians, actually. Former colonizing and imperialist power, now given it all up? Check. Technically a monarchy, but actually ruled by an elected assembly? Check. Bloomin' awful weather? Check. All we need is an Andorian cricket team, and…
-
Surella I take a deep breath and step through the round hatch. Beyond, the spartan interior of an airlock chamber, and another round hatchway before me. I check the control panel beside the hatch. The boarding tube is a force-field cylinder, tethering the mission pod to the hull of the ship. The parameters of the tube...…

I had trouble getting this one started on a new KDF character. I tried building up the reputation, talking to the ambassador, and so on.... I was only allowed to start the New Romulus missions after doing every storyline mission before them in the journal. That's up to and including the Borg arc, plus any "Yesterday's War"…
-
M'eioi The interior of the mission pod is a single, spherical, space. A broad metal walkway runs around the waist of the hollow sphere, and a narrow catwalk crosses it from one side to the other. I can see machinery - exotic particle manipulators, I think - all pointing inwards towards the centre of the sphere. Someone…
-
Surella It is almost a surprise when we emerge from subspace without some sort of disruption. There is activity on the sensors, though, a great deal of it. I study the viewscreen for a moment, trying to establish what is happening. Galactic Object 4704 has dimmed to the point of near invisibility, a mere smudge of light…
-
Carayl Vansittaert presses his fingertips into his temples. He takes a deep breath, holds it for a moment, exhales. "What on Earth possessed you," he asks M'eioi, "to say something like that?" "It's no more than the truth." The Caitian is almost vibrating with anger. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Vansittaert…

Surella Amphicyon crashes out of subspace just as subspace itself distorts. The lurch makes my guts protest, evokes a warning bleep from the shields and the structural integrity field - On the screen, a twisting, roiling column of eldritch flame reaches out across the stars. I slam my fist on the command chair's armrest.…

It's in the Discovery lockbox. Which makes sense.
-
M'eioi "Welcome aboard," the man in the shiny black tunic says. He has a peaked cap with gold braid on it, and epaulettes with five broad gold stripes on them. "I'm Commander Parlabane. Head of security for the Carnegie." "Admiral M'eioi. Starfleet." I look around at the Carnegie's transporter room. "Head of security?"…

Very few Trek ships are actually tiny, by conventional standards. Even the Defiant is roughly the size of a football pitch, and the Defiant is way down the small end of the size charts. I think the Vanguard Carrier probably has all the space it needs, especially since it doesn't have to make room for all the frivolous…
-
First one I spotted was the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Share and enjoy.
-
Shortly after I posted that, real life started getting in my way.... I got back to my computer about an hour an a half later, and the counter had reached 97.31. Unfortunately, I had to go out, then, so I killed the process. Whatever's going on, then, it does just enough to stop the server from timing out on me - while also…
-
Carayl I nod to Vekna, who nods back and sidles down the alleyway, trying to blend in and look discreet - as much as a Klingon can, on a mainly human colony world. But the alleyway is crowded, and the main thoroughfare is bustling with traffic - hundreds of people all going about their business, with barely a glance to…

Never thought a thread of mine would be important enough to get necro'ed (@baddmoonrizin) To be fair, Cryptic sort of addressed this issue by bringing out the Infinity boxes, which at least are all the same kind, and are gradually displacing all the different ones in people's inventories....

M’eioi The Carnegie has moved. It’s holding station, equidistant between us and the anomaly, its prow pointing at the Madagascar. I don’t like it. It feels like a threat. Maybe it is a threat - I don't know all the capabilities of Vansittaert's ship. Right now, though, it's not my main worry. My main worry is human, small…
-
And today's patch appears to have fixed it, for me at least. So, after all the moaning I've been doing in this thread, it's only fair for me to say thank you to the devs for sorting it out!
-
Just to add to the fun, update 1803 finally came down the pike for me this morning. And comprehensively trashed my system, requiring me to do a full reset before I got anywhere with it. What effect this had on the textures thing, I really don't know yet - I'm still reinstalling STO (it was, believe it or not, not my first…

Please specify the exact area of difficulty in this locality. It is the invariable custom of your current interlocutor to employ phraseology of this particular nature. Tr: What's the problem here? I talk like that all the time. (Also, who let the Jolciots into this forum? Eh?)

The panoramic windows of the lab deck were closed. Normally, T'Shal enjoyed the view of the stars, but the kaleidoscopic glare from Galactic Object 4704 was distracting, headache-inducing. She reached for a PADD. There were other things that induced headaches, of course. "Professor." Tarul was at the next workstation,…
