    Run around the academy for Q, dealing with bugged party crashes that you can't stop despite being right on top of them and for my reward I receive.... Batteries.


    Great reward cryptic... great reward...

    Yeah, if only they just offered straight-up dilithium as a reward.

    Wait! They do!

    Indeed. Hang there quite a time, before I restarted the gameclient(worked for me).

    Any chance we'll be getting a CStore sale for the anniversary? Not that I don't like what we do get for it, but still it'd be nice especially with the recent jump in CStore prices. I'd spend a fortune in a sale this weekend.

    I was unable to open my Anniversary gift box, nor able to accept the Odyssey class mission.


    Logged out and back in and now I'm also stuck at the "Retrieving list of Characters" screen.


    Hello Anniversary Day server crash. You're early..... :mad:



    EDIT: Finally timed out. Telling me: "Unable to log out one of your Characters. Try again later or submit a support ticket"

    I keep having players steal my escaping party crasher. To the point where this isnt fun at all. I saw 2 people try to steal mine and steal others as well. Why couldnt they be locked to a single player where only they can capture them?

    Couldn't open the box, kept trying, eventually it did open, and now the ship isn't there as a selectable one to jump into. Am gonna try going to space/logging off etc.. to see if that works.

    Lagged out trying to open the anniversry box now can't get back in, the bugged Q's are annoying as all anything but the odessy mission was sweet, 40+ ships warping to Mars in one go from ESD looked awesome as well :)

    "Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few hours."

    Probably just as awesome that the ships didn't subsequently emerge from warp as one fused mess.

    In regards to the thread: Sometimes I see the reactions of players, and it makes me think of the Ten Forward scene with Data and Guinan in Generations....right after Data got his emotion chip...

    Data: "This is revolting! I hate this!"
    Guinan: "More?"
    Data: "Please."

    Love the new ship. Very sleek and graceful.

    As the designers' blog showed, it was an evolution of the Sovereign class.

    Just covering the bases: you are level 50, and you did open the inventory item?

    According to the info linked from the first post, the mission gives you an inventory item that you click on to get the ship, and you have to be level 50 to do that.

    Apparently any character over level 5 can run the mission, but they can't use the ship until they're level 50.

    Dear Devs, next time you make a q event, please at least take 2 minutes to program some text somewhere to explain where / when i need to spam my f key. bad mission design, even if its only for a 4 day event, is bad.


    for those who don't know, because it isn't evidently apparent, beam down to SFA and stand in the middleish area. Spam f while running around looking for tiny q's. once they disappear and reappear as a random animal, chase after it continuing to spam your f key. repeat until you have spammed your f key 5 times. now that's content any storytelling!

    It would be nice if this new patch didn't bork the game for MANY people, as evident in the tech forums. A lot of folks are getting a variation of this:


    Fatal Error: Direct 3D driver returned error code
    (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) while creating a texture
    (D3dERR_INVALIDCALL while creating 2D texture size 1 x 1(1mips,RTEX_R_F32),2.0 GB memory avaliable).

    Instead of being able to log in this is what loads of us are getting :(
