This is the first anniversary bundle I'm not going to buy. Some ships look great, but the exclusives don't interest me at all.
-
I'll be honest. The premium ship makes or brakes the bundle for me. Neither the Tal Shiar Destroyer nor the Parliament interest me, nor the other "exclusive content" aka master keys, tech upgrades, uniforms, pets etc. So unless every last one of the Wolf 359 ships has amazing stats and traits, I'm gonna pick up the ones I…

The easiest solution would be to always put interactions like 'beam down assault team' or 'close rift' at the top of the list, rather than at the bottom. It's the same problem with Voth ground BZ. With all the loot boxes dropping from enemies, you have to click on the button manually, if you don't want to pick up all the…
-
In my totally not expert opinion, all they'd have to do is introduce a trait or shield that adds an immunity to drain, and caps maximum shield penetration (including exotic dmg) at a certain percentage. All of a sudden all those shield consoles and traits they've been introducing lately could become viable. It would allow…

I did the mission on a sci char and it was... tedious. I didn't much care for the episode, too many time gates, too repetitive. I also think that lately, they force us to play as someone else a little too often.
-
I'm having the same problem. Only the last char I played is loading on the character selection screen. All the others can be selected (clicked on), but are stuck at "loading".
-
Wasn't expecting this. And it wasn't really necessary either. The last thing this game needs is more power creep. Turns out I'm already at 743/750 and can now obliterate my enemies 1.701 seconds faster than before... yay...
-
Strange that they reveal him just like that, after building up tension for so long. I would have prefered not to know beforehand, but it was absolutely everywhere.. All that remains to say is: Live long and Shut up Wesley!
-
I can only speak for myself. But I would have bought each bundle-exclusive ship like the new Vesta, Shenzhou, D7, and Romulan BoP if they were sold seperately. The 10th anniversary pack came in two variants, one with lots of fluff, the other with ships only. Why was this policy abandoned? If they were struggling…
-
I will gladly spend money on the game once again, if they dial back the gambling economy and offer a reasonably priced alternative to overinflated $200 ship bundles.
-
I don't know. Making boffs stronger on ground is kind of pointless. (Single player-) Ground content is just too easy. And I don't think I'm ever gonna spend 1.500 Zen per boff (that's what Cryptic leaked a week or two ago) for a single upgrade token. That's 6.000 Zen to upgrade an entire ground party, plus the necessary EC…
-
Their asking prices are completely arbitrary, and scarcity is artificial. Whether Cryptic sells 10 or a 1.000 copies of the same ship, the base costs to create the asset remain unchanged. And they can copy it as many times as they like. As such, every additional sale, at any price, means more profit at zero additional…
-
Mindscape. I don't know why, but over the years, this mission bugged out on me so many times. I couldn't talk to Tuvok, the sickbay doors wouldn't open even after the doctor was defeated, killing 'memory gosts' or what they are called wouldn't trigger the door opening mechanism etc etc. And when I was able to finish it,…
-
I'm not even annoyed. It just reenforces my descision not to spend money on this game anymore. Everything I want these days is either part of an expensive $120 bundle with lots of useless junk in it, or the grand prize of a gamble box. Also: they are trying really hard to make shield tanking a thing, aren't they?
-
What I don't like about the new shows? The fact that they destroyed humanity's utopian future and dragged it down to our level. Modern Star Trek is Earth, or rather, the US in the ealy 21st century, with starships and fancy gimmicks. Gone are the days in which Star Trek used allegories to discuss a problem, provided…
-
These four ships will likely be part of future Star Trek guides and magazines, they will be discussed on youtube channels and get massive exposure far beyond the STO player community. It's a big achievement and they very much deserve it. The high quality of ship and environmental art is the reason why I'm still playing…
-
I'll get the bundle if it doesn't include a pile of junk to increase the price. Otherwise, I'll just get the mirror Yorktown, I've plenty of T6 coupons lying around.
-
Hmm.. Voyager variant number 7 and Galaxy variant number 6? In total: 5 Mirror ships, a lot of filler stuff and a "free"(hilarious!) T6 coupon. Another $250 bundle, no doubt. I liked the mirror Yorktown variant from the new episode, but the rest doesn't really interest me that much.
-
It's not that. Kael is getting comments coming from all kinds of people, those who don't like the ships, those who don't like the story, those who don't like the characters, those who are frustrated over persistent bugs and those who don't like aspects of a mission. And he just shrugs and says "those people" don't like…
-
That's my main gripe with Discovery too. Ships are basically cardboard cutouts that are part of the scenery, and optimism and ideas of morality are absent from the show. They got rid of the two characteristics that made Star Trek unique and different from almost any other scify show. And then they turned it into something…
-
I agree. Those 32nd century designs all look so generic and bland. And they can't be particularly popular. You barely ever see players fly them in game.
-
For a split second, after reading the title, I thought they were doing Earth ships from the Enterprise era again. Imagine my disappointment... But seriously, what is this? I'm sure the devs made the most out of it, but it's hideous!
-
Alien races such as depicted in Star Trek are always very homogenous in their appearance, their features don't vary too much. But looking at the human race where we have a wide spectrum of skin colours, facial features, body sizes and shapes, it wouldn't be unrealistic to assume that such variety also exists on other…
-
And since they aren't stupid, it is safe to assume that it was intended. The longer people have to wait for their dilithium/Zen purchase, the more likely they are to use real money instead (for example for flash sales).
-
A little over 5 years ago they released the Agents of Yesterday Pack, for 15'000 Zen. It included* 1 T1 ship * 1 T2 ship * 1 T3 ship * 1 T4 ship * 1 T5 ship * 7 (!!!) T6 ships * 6 costumes, 3 tech upgrades, 6 temporal qualifications, 1 unique boff, 1space suit, 3 titles Today we get 1 T6 ship, filler stuff, 1 lvl 65…
-
If they are admitting that this won't have much of an effect on the dilithium market, why implement it anyways? It puzzles me. As people have mentioned, this mostly affects new and casual players, who don't own a ton of admiralty ships and who can't complete most endeavours in a couple of minutes.
-
Ever since they started with these back-to-back events, even casual players can easily make ~200'000 dilithium ore per month, by just playing the game for 5-10 minutes a day. Events are a money printing machine and therefore the main cause for high inflation. The easiest long-term solution would be to remove dilithium…
-
I liked the episodes well enough. Although the hidden timers are really getting tiresome and it felt like they didn't have enough content to fill whatever minimum gametime requirement they were given by the managment (collect 50 tetryon detonators, 5/10 at a time, ugh!). I'm not sure about the story though. I had some…
-
It was.. fine. Clearly, the Klingon recruitment event should have been at the very start of the Year of Klingon, and the legendary pack was a big disappointment, but the mission were fun. I didn't enjoy the 'fantasy' parts that much though. We're going to Klingon hell so often, we might as well start a taxi service.
