At level 7 now. So far, this is what I have:
Dislike:
- Starting in shooter mode. (at least point out the B key immediately, and with BIG letters! Some people, like me, HATES using WASD to move, and if this was the standard setup I never would have continued playing STO after day 1)
- The settings and options for everything should be looked at. There are sooo many options that are configured for less entertaining gameplay. Like the automated target-of-target setting, that will keep people wondering where their heal went for months!
Bug:
- Strafing, or using any of the WASD keys to move while crouched breaks the crouch. Moving forward by using mouse while crouch still works. Very big issue for me.
- "Stop the signal", I, having played this game for hundreds of days, can not destroy the dreadnought! I can not even keep up with the pet spawn rate! (at level 7) So maybe I suck, but players that are new to STO has to suck much more! Mission-breaker!
Will be back with more as I level

- I got a purple Astrometrics MkI console at Lt rank. Whats the point of this one at Lt level? There are no Lt abilities that are enhanced by it...
- Did not get gift for first Aid the Planet mission. Bug or Feature?
- My boffs gaine XP too slow compared to me.
- On-button-drop-down-menus (like outfit buttons at the tailor). Menu does not close upon selection.
- When having flashlight equipped AND switched on, I can not run. When it is pitch dark and I don't use the light, I can run... a bit backwards logic?
- Night of the comet: Holographic skin was not applied on the first map, but was ok on the second.
- Bridge officers are no longer res'ing their fallen comrades. Not even after the battle is finished.
- I have found a [particle trace] with no apparent use. (and no icon of its own...)
that's it for today!
the particle Fragments are for something thats not in yet, your supposed to beable to craft them or somehting, they were dropping ebfore they were supposed to.
as for the XP differences between BoFF's and Captains, I believe currently only Captain XP is being given a bonus to help leveling.
the aid the planet gift thing might be bugged, it no longer gives a box for you to open and automatically gives you an item, or is supposed to.
As for the purple "useless" Lt. level console... sell it for money, it might be useless to use, but you can still get creds from it.
I have had all of these at this level. I don't think the boff xp discrepancy is a bug, since it appears we are leveling at an accelerated rate, but nothing else seems to be accelerated.
/EndTribbleTesting :mad:
That's a very common response.
I've made Captain (okay, Cdr 10 right now, but I'll be Cpt 1 before I get home thanks to DOffs) via the Doff system, doing only 2 storyline missions, in 2 days. It's not too bad if you just want to skip that tier of ship and grab your next one.
Of course, I also levelled a new character from 1 to 12 in 3 hours, so that I can feed a friend more DOffs. I wanted to feed them to myself, but that can't be done currently, so I may be weird.
Now crossing Cmdr level in a T2 ship, just boring.... but I found one new funny bug. In "City on the edge of never", B'vat is taking Miral captive. In two different maps, he's pulling her away, while she screams for help...
...but whenever Miral says something, B'vat repeats it! so it looks like this:
Miral: Help!
B'Vat: Help
Miral: I do not want to go!
B'Vat: I do not want to go!
And then he pulls her with him and runs away!
lol
I'm generally not a fan of voice overs, but now I want at least one.
- In "doomsday device" I had to see the video of the kamikaze run twice for some reason. Being able to skip all cutscenes with ESC would be nice...
- "Ground Zero". The mission didn't register as complete on the first run, so I had to run it twice.
- [Transphasic Torpedo Launcher Mk VII] has no icon. Only a white blob.
- SB39 has two vendors by the name of Marrien. They're standing next to each other in the requisition area, peddling different types of goods.
- Escort weaponry at captain level is pretty much non-existent (except for the dilithium dealer, charging outragous prices in a pretty much non-existing currency..
- BIG BUG: When strafing/rolling from crouched position (rpg mode) you break the crouch. This is only if you move using keyboard. Moving forward with mouse does not break crouch.
- Mission Coliseum, part Marooned, Slamek gets stuck in the start of the valley, and you have to run all the way back to talk to him.
- Mission "Shutdown" can not be accessed by tracker, but starts automatically when you go to DS9. Very frustrating if you don't happen to go to DS9!!! Storyline stops up and you don't know why!
- mail keeps telling i have new mail, by alert sound and flashing icon, even if i have no new mail
-Tear of the Prophets, pathing messed up on the Ministry Mystery part, Cardassia prime Ministry of culture map.
KDF bugs:
- Pathing is also wonky on many other storyline missions on KDF side.
- klingon skill chart, not showing spent/available points above each tier
- KDF missions give rewards of a lower tier than they can be accessed at. (Example: The missions that you unlock at captain give MkVI rewards)
2) Pathfinding is annoying on Holodeck as well, hopefully that will be fixed (recent playthough I still lost a couple of BOFF's in the fire caves)
3) KDF skill chart, yeah, that is annoy from what I hear
4) Mail should hopefully be fixed soon (very annoying, I agree)
5) I have seen a few Plasma torps with the "all white" icon, so its a common bug right now
6) Cryptic did say that they did not want to allow people to skip cut scenes
7) Use a beam escort, its simple, works but yes does a little less DPS
8) KDF lower mission rewards, this too is happening for the Feds if you notice due to the accelerated boosting, we should hopefully see this changed later.
I think that covers some of the problems mentioned, and probably a few of my own.
But yeah, this IS a test server, so stuff is going to go wrong, if there were no bugs, I would actually be alarmed.
this is on holodeck as well this was pointed out to me the other night from a fleet mate that he noticed it.
