    Are the Forums this bad that the Patch notes had to be Google Doced? :eek:
    You think that your beta test was bad?

    the pvp que button being moved to the drop down is lame. time for another row of those buttons under the mini map i think.

    I still say that they should remove ALL the non-minimap related buttons to a separate UI element/bar thing so that they can either all be displayed or customized to only show whichever options the player wants to see somewhere separate.

    This would have the bonus effect of making the minimap usable in more places than just the upper right corner of the screen.

    It is a significantly long set of patch notes, and I believe at the time these notes were written, the forums did not have the nested list format functioning, meaning that each line would have to be formatted manually which... just no.

    I noticed this delicious bit of irony as well. One step forward in game, two steps back on the forums.

    So "yes" basically. Look at the old Engineering reports, you could fit that much text in 2, maybe 3 posts. Heck, look at the Jem'Hadar post in my signature. The first one uses EVERY character (which includes some formatting).

    Go to Eta Eradina (sp?), and there's a Federation or Klingon Starbase in each corner.

    "All instances of Cryptic Points have been replaced by ZEN."

    That's probably the only thing I'll remember about these patchnotes.

    I'm wondering what will happen to my Cryptic Points balance... Will it be converted back to Zen by 80 points = 100 Zen or will it be just 216 Zen?

    Can some1 explain to me how to open this link? I've tried and it takes me to a sign up page for google doc. I find it a little ridiculous that I now have to sign up to yet another thing JUST to read patch notes.

    A button for the new Fleet Interface has been added to the row of buttons below the Minimap,
    replacing the PVP Button.
    o The PVP Queue can now be accessed from the Minimap dropdown menu.


    What, why is it the pvp button that gets replaced?

    I suppose they had to do something to take evreyone's minds off of the epic fail that is the new forums.

    Patching now though judging from what I have already heard, fleet bases are nothing more than an other esd with its own random borg type alert. Nothing close to what was expected really...

    I hope it's something worth spending time ingame for as I have not really played sto for a week or more :frown:

    The reason the patch nots were probably placed in a google doc was because they were too big to but on the forums - it covers 7 1/4 pages!

    On another note: fleet starbase interiors look great but isn't the main room in the tactical department just a fed style of the base in one of the klingon war missions? (i think the one in the briar patch?) Ops...wow but whats the middle circle thing on the floor with a blue circle light look a like fixture above it? and whats the 'section' on the other side of the glass walkway?

    Could someone please repost the patch notes in another format as I can't get them open with Google docs - it take me to an account creation page.

    Thanks

    I like that the Vault event is being taken off the timer. I would like to request you do the same for the Defera Borg Invasion. My friends and I would like to do it, but it never seems to be up during the times we can play.

    Cryptic's hope of getting more people into PvP certainly isn't going to be helped by this. Just add another row of buttons already.

    Updated the Vault to be always available but give bonus rewards when the Vault event is running.

    Hooray for making The Vault more available--it was annoying having most of its available timeslots being while I couldn't be online. Most of us do have to be offline 16-20 hours a day after all.
