Known Issues:
Do we need milk cartons with his picture on it?
Thanks for the update!
On a serious note, are you going to add more options to species customization? For instance, I noticed Female Aliens don't get the makeup option, and Trill do not get a VISOR option.
Bwhahahahahaha...
Very first thing I thiught when I saw Sulu was back, and ESPECIALLY after seeing that. lolol.
Classic. I'm not sure this can ever truly be resolved.
The only thing more awesome would be... added #HortaForDOff
Thank you!
Interesting. I know this is for the upcoming FE, however is the storyline actually going to make sense to have it permanently open to both factions beyond the limited events in the next FE?
LOL
Is that the only benefit? A store discount? How about getting more crafting xp?
Is this open to KDF players?
TRIBBLE.... Now I gotta patch before I can play tonight...
LOL at where's sulu 2.0
all patrols being scalable is great
not in love with the STF lock out timers but i guess once you rotate through them it wont be too bad.
Hoping this includes the blocks
Thanks for continued effort to polish this game for release to the public
Maybe it was actually a promotion. If he's a Captain or Admiral he probably wouldnt be serving under another Captain.
I just used the wrong term in my original posting of the notes. I've updated it now; thanks for pointing this out.
Is this permanent? Will going into the enemy contacts still count toward the accolades somehow or are those accolades changing/being removed?
Where's Winters?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
It's per segment of the mission. Once you complete Infected Space, you'll have to wait an hour to redo it. But that timer won't apply to the other STF missions, so you could do Infected Ground or Khitomer Space, etc.
But with everyone on different timers it is going to make getting into one more difficult - really not liking this change.
But these are the one that we really need to give the same level because most are bound. I just wind up selling these to the vendor because I'm alway about the level they are when I get to the missions that give them. If most of these unique items are going to stay "Unleveling" at least make the "Bind on Equip" instead of "Bind on Pick-up"
Is this retroactive? When my Tribble character made it to Ambassador /i didn't get the bridge officer or duty officer....
Is it possible to search by the Officer Type (Doctor) and the find the one in that search that have a trait (Just show Doctors with Logical). Right now it will show all officers with the logical trait.... I think it would be better that if you are looking for a certain officer with a trait and you chose the officer type and then the trait it would only show results if you had an officer with that type.
There are just a few questions I have....
Thanks!
This will be a biggy for accolade hunters, lucky I got them all on my main's but for others they may still want them. It's not exactly the best content in STO but it's something and a nice way to try out new ships/builds.
Yes this concerns me as well. Hopefully it is because they are getting updated to make their repeatability better????
Anyone...anyone...Mr. D'angelo....
Hard to imagine how. I wouldn't want my Klingon patrolling the Sirius Sector Block, defending it against Klingon attackers and resolving labour disputes.
I do hope original KDF patrols will eventually become available for all sectors in the game, though.
