Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow at 7:00am PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 2 hours.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    Hang on, wasn't this just added to the test server today? How can it all ready be set up to go onto the live server when it's not even been on the test server long enough to even vaguely see if it all works?

    I know you have no control over things like this Brandon, but why do the dev's even bother with the test servers if they don't use them to actually test stuff before it hits the live server... *sigh*

    It was tested for almost a hour. That's plenty of time in cryptic/pwe land.

    It's tied to your PC... Fix your PC's time and all will be well, so it'll show when there are new events and the like for you compared to when the events actually start in PST.

    Or you get 'Gameserver timed out' message while logging on, and waiting for the login server to let you log on after 3 - 4 tries and wasting time for the servers to allow you to get on the game. Some Priorty logon :mad:

    However, what is this....?

    In the Defera event, you can pick up a Zone-Wide mission "Borg Blowback" from Kumina. Your objective is to plant these charges all over the entire zone.

    As you may have guessed, when the mission first premiered the Unstable Matrices stay in your inventory when the event ends. They could not be sold, they could not be discarded.

    Until no-.. Well, until tomorrow.

    They're using these star bases as bait, like hanging a carrot in front of a horse, in an attempt to bring back players who have left and try to keep us interested. If the star bases were this far away from being ready, then why advertise them at all? Clearly season 6 is going to happen later rather than sooner. All you are doing is hyping this up to something it wont be able to live up to. Please change the launcher to something other than the under construction station and change Under Siege. :frown:

    More like the devs are being under siege from the playerbase and PWE's meddling.

    Hmm, some nice changes in there.

    New Doff missions are always welcome.

    Was kicked off a few minutes ago due to Maintenance.

    So the forum time is incorrect too.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    So.. Cure... it was hard? My fleet's record so far in elite cure space is scoring optional with a little more than 4 minutes to spare. I suppose this won't help us, come to think about it because we usually only deal with 1 wave from 2 cubes worth of raptors and 1 wave of negh'var anyway (mostly at about the same time) and it takes us, oh, 20 secs to deal with all that and move on to the carrier. So. meh. this nerf isn't much of a nerf IMO. It's basically a handout to elite puggers I guess, but that's about it. The new Doff stuff is always nice, I guess, but this appears mostly like a batch of copy fixes. Which is also nice, nothing makes a game feel unpolished more than spelling errors :)

    On Season 6, don't get your panties in an uproar.... it will come when it will come... sheesh, calm down. You're worse than my kids. Latest word is July -- JULY. That's next month, not JUNE which is *this* month. So, no one who has been paying any attention expected this patch to be anything to do with any of the Season 6 stuff.

    The only thing I have against the massive hype campaign is that the buildup might end up resulting in a major let down. I've played No-Win and Colony Invasion, and they're pretty neat, but... seriously, the fleet bases and other S6 stuff better be pretty awesome to live up to the hype. If it doesn't, hope the C/PW staff have their fire retardant suits and have been working on thicken the old skin, cuz you'll need both :)

    + STF BORG BALANCE:
    .....o "The Cure" - Space
    ..........- All assimilated Klingon ships have been brought in-line with other STF Borg critters
    ..........- Reduced innate damage bonuses of Negh'var and Raptors.
    ..........- Removed Negh'Var's ability to Critically Hit.
    ..........- Reduced hit points of Raptors.

    Haven't done that particular STF, but I sure hope that's not terran for "we've nerfed your Raptor as well as the Borgs".

    Odds are that it is but I do not know any serious player who actually uses a raptor their inherent stats amongst other things are not really elite stf worthy anyways LOL.

    Your decent players didn't have a problem the way they were but a lot of the newer players jumping straight into elites were getting one shotted left and right is why this nerf is coming out to make it easier for them to play :)

    As far as you getting the optional you should be getting it in about 8-10 mins to spare based on what was stated as far as other poster worrying about optional to spare times LOL :D

    What? Why? Really? Why? Cure space is doable, in its current level of difficulty... with a decent team optional is a given, with plenty of time left on the timer... (been on teams where > 7 minutes remaining on the optional timer is now considered standard).

    Why must the game get nerfed to make those who maybe shouldn't be calling themselves elite players, think they are elite?

    Seriously, the optional are a joke now (with the exception of going pug, or a little mistake... i can not recall the last failed optional)... If you want to nerf the mission, then create an advanced mode (similar to player mission settings). Take the elite mode as it exists today (or with the nerf), make that your advanced level, and bump up the difficulty for elite...

    I want it to be harder, not easier!
