I tested the KIDD drone module on a solo player mission and Pahvo ground team mission. The seperation mode worked as expected when solo, but when I commanded the drone to seperate during the team mission, it just disppeared. In the solo mission, the KIDD drone did nothing when not seperated, but in the team mission, it…

So it's still bugged? I ran it today, but didn't get an AFK penalty. I'm thinking at this point, I should just play it safe and buy out to conplete the prize acquisition. One Night In Bozeman is starting to get tedious, I'm not sure I want to do that daily for the remainder of the event.

For expedience sake, I decided to do the rocket mission, even though it's the queue I resent most in the game. Worst decision I've ever made today, because: Last time this happened due to DPS whackers, I gained an extra days worth of event progression because AFK queues don't count for the daily. And I've probably gotten…

@westmetals I’m not sure exactly how the changes are beneficial to other players, but for me personal, a bonus dil pool on minimal amounts earned isn’t enough of a motivation to keep doing Ferengi Admiralty, so I gave it up. I didn’t collect large amounts of Dil per day, so it seems like a bonus % would just be a trickle…

@trennan I do have 4 additional characters of level 11, but they exist for the specific purpose of storing inventory items I am not capable of using at this time or for keeping extra items for later use, just to avoid having those items dumped in the banks of my main characters. But I’ve never used those 4 for anything…
-
@sovereign010 I don't mind the players who only have 12 characters getting their rotation's worth out of Dil, as long as each of those characters was created for a purpose and not simply to get "free Dil". It's the ones who created 50 characters that caused Admiralty to be changed and as such, I have no sympathy or…

@trennan Events are probably the only time I log in and play consistently, to earn the reward unlock. And it seems like the timetable is accelerating, when I finished the Anniversary ship one, it felt like it didn't take them long to roll out the next one! Not long enough to give me a break that is..... Burnout set in…

Ironically, I was actually collecting the GPL from those assignments to use for the Trade for Entertainment Provision DOFF assignments, so it had a purpose. But not enough merit to keep me working on the Ferengi Admiralty chains without a direct Dil payout for conpleting TOD 10. It was more a side benefit, as in, I've got…
-
I didn’t say I forgot how to play the game, I’ve been doing that every day. I just don’t remember precisely what I did to get Dil before Admiralty, since those are the tasks i gave up doing. All I remember is it wasted time, a lot of time, which is why I stopped doing it. From my perspective, it’s like Cryptic wants me to…

For the record, I’m a Lifetime Sub. And when it suits me, I pay for items in the C-Store. Like the GQ Veteran Dominion Pack that included Cardassians, for example, that was quite costly. So by strict definition, I was never playing the game for free. The simple fact is, I’m ignoring the other sources of Dil acquisition for…

I think it was meant to be whales. Autocorrupt delights in changing words. I'm not sure what it means in the context of Star Trek Online, but in Transformers Earth Wars, whales are those players who spend hundreds of dollars every weekend on the game. And they get a lot of derision for doing so, nobody should be spending…
-
Let me run the math for you and see if it makes sense: KDF+Ferengi=60k dil (pre adjustment). KDF=40k Fleet Dil vouchers (post adjustment). So I lost 20k Dil immediately, therefore I fail to see how that is an improvement. And for the record, not all of it was going to the Fleet, I was using some of it myself. That option…
-
That's where the majority of my earned Dil was going and now Cryptic has essentially cut that amount in half. To keep in mind why it's inconvenient, my Fleet's T5 upgrades are almost ready to be slotted and I was intending to contribute large amounts of my Dil earnings towards those goals. Another factor to consider, a…
-
I think this is exactly the problem here, you've got someone with like 50 characters who, for lack of a better terminology, is misusing a game mechanic. So just because someone with 50 characters does this, I (with my minuscule count of seven characters by comparison) end up being inconvenienced? From my perspective, it's…
-
I didn't say I was spending only 10-15 minutes ingame, by the time I've set Admiralty running on 7 characters and run a queue for a daily Fleet mark box on 6 of those characters, I've been playing STO for 2 hours minimum. And that's all the time I'm willing to allocate, as I have other hobbies to indulge and other games to…
-
@balarick Yes, it's an irrevalant point now, given that the changes they made to the Admiralty system today actually resulted in me ceasing to use it. Ironically, this means I've stopped advancing Ferengi at all, because it's useless to me now, a bonus dil percentage on 0 dil earned is nothing, nothing at all.
-
As of today, I'm giving up Admiralty, I see no reason to invest time in a system that was changed to negatively impact my only source of Dilithium in the game. Because that was the only reason I was logging in daily, if the intention was to motivate me to play more, it's actually had the exact opposite effect, I'll be…
-
I am one of those players. I basically gave up on Admiralty today, since I'm not getting my Dil, what's the point of doing it? And they can't say they didn't know this was the case, since as soon as it was announced, the players who disliked the idea said so. I'm willing to afford the Cryptic Devs some latitude in that it…
-
I do it too, because it's all I have time for in my day. 1 hour, maybe 2 and then I've got to leave. Basically, set the Admiralty running, come back tomorrow, reap whatever rewards I wanted to get. Note: I don't try to succeed at all the assignments, I basically give the non-useful ones just one low level ship to get them…
-
For me personally, I can't tolerate Dyson Ground Battlezone or any other shared combat zones, because I just don't enjoy shared battle maps on that scale. So making this change to Admiralty will not be in the least bit effective in encouraging me to go to those zones.
-
I rather enjoyed doing Admiralty, but after this change goes live, I think the motivation will to keep doing so will cease to engage me. I was doing KDF to earn Dil, it may have gone to the Fleet or I have used it myself, but now that the option for personal use is being revoked, I don't think I want to continue. As…
-
Per day? Not possible. For example, one of my characters filled up all the available slots from one track and the chain one is still 2 assignments away. And that’s happening a lot, it’s not just a once off occurence. To me, it’s inefficient to not provide enough assignment slots to compensate for the ability to do many…
-
Probably somewhere around 100, I claimed every ship I could just to get the accompanying Admiralty card. But my problem isn't with the ship cards, it's with the lack of Admiralty assignment slots. Simple math, 5assignments+5moreAssignments=10 Assignments. With only 9 available slots, one Admiralty track doesn't get…
-
What exactly is in this bundle aside from the skins that makes it so special? But honestly, looking at the listed price without discount, it's 300$. $190 with discount. Assuming I got my C-points>$$$ conversion ratio correct, I may have not. In my personal opinion, that's too much money to spend on this game, especially…

I got my code 1 hour ago. But Cryptic seriously needs to update their reclaim webpage, telling me to redeem codes via Arc when I don't have it isn't useful or practical information! :s I had to go to the Steam forums and get this link unofficially to redeem my code for my account via the website function.

I've never seen my kitframe modules unequip themselves, but I have often seen the BOFF skills reset, hence why I am always wanting the ground trained skills to be discarded in favor of a BOFF specific kitframe. Nothing worse then entering ground combat and wondering why your tactical boff is not throwing grenades or using…
-
I don't know if the bug still exists, but I noticed at some point, the BOFF powers were switching back to the default ones they were given on a regular basis, which caused me a lot of frustration because they were using useless abilities. Also, some kit modules do not exist in BOFF skill form, for example, I wanted to load…

Um, it kindof did happen in America, the conference in question about banning loot boxes was held in Washington DC. My main concern is that Cryptic not do what SquareEnix did in petty retaliation for their game being "regulated", which was to take that game away from their customers in that country, simply because they…
