Hi Captains,
We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, August 16th, at 7AM 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

Check your Fleet Starbase. In Ops by the entrance there is a console that will allow you to run Doff missions to trade 10k CXP for 75 Fleet Marks. If you cant find it walk towards the Duty Officer then turn around, you should see it glowing.

You beat me to it, admrenlarreck.

C-store releases aren't usually included in patch notes

It's in the URL dude not to mention the title banner of the page.

You spend zen in the cryptic store.
Tell me more. Is this a buff or a nerf?
You even look at the link? In game it CLEARLY shows Z Store. If you are buying things in Europe with Euros is it a Dollar Store? The only reason it says cryptic store in the banner is because they didn't redo it with the Zen conversion. They used the same website layout for STO and CO that was used before the Perfect World transition so players would still be able to find things (and so that they didn't have to change any more than possible). Find a store page for ANY of their other games (including Neverwinter, a Cryptic game). It isn't there and the only reason it is for STO and CO is because the playerbase is used to it.
Anyway, that is from my signature, not my post, so now back to the topic...
I wish I could test the stuff that got added to Tribble yesterday and will be added to Holodeck today, but every time I try to log in to Tribble I get "Star Trek Online is closed for maintenance at this time" and can't figure out why (Holodeck logs in fine and it seems others are able to check Holodeck). I still think less than 24 hours is not a good "test". Why even put it on Tribble? What possibe level of testing can you get done in such a short time. Do I expect it to break other things? No, absolutely not, not with the extensive testing being done (sarcasm if you couldn't tell).

Pray-tell, where is this alleged console supposed to be again?! No such console in Ops at all.
Go where you gat the Daily FM mission for 5 FM. On your way out of there, the console on your left, next to the doorway. These become available after you reach 110,000 commendation points in say, Engineering, etc.

They've been discussing this on the PVP side:

Sigh, and I'm afraid the general consensus is, it's yet another nerf for science....
It also looks like they nerfed the tactical officers. Cryptic nerfed the stealth buffs to prevent people from making more fleet marks in the new missions. I guess too many teams were making progress.
Does Cryptic/Perfect World want people to play this game, or are they trying to get people to walk away? I don't understand their mentality. When they make these drastic nerfing changes, Cryptic comes off as the adult who interrupts a well established party. As they walk into the festivities, Cryptic/Perfect World's sudden arrival creates a buzz kill. I swear these guys have never had fun in their lives.
Too much grinding for resources.
Too much nerfing game elements.
Too expensive store items.
Too many repetitive tasks.
Do you guys actually give a damn?
What else are you doing? Something for the future? Server performance?
I think they turned Tribble off since the Regent should take the place of the Armitage in the ESD Shipyard as the newly released ship and maybe they didn't want to let people see it early.
The devs say it's the c-store. I don't agree with it, but it's official.

Like this?
No, things are NOT Perfect.
No, complaints from users or even thread posts on the forums don't cause Devs to lose sleep.
No, I'm not even sure they read these.
No, ranting does no good.
No, this isn't a game for the illiterate, angry, or even impatient.
Yes, it's really fun.
Yes, it has a lot of potential for growth.
Yes, the voiceovers by Leonard Nimoy and Terran Empire stuff make up for a multitude of bugs.
Yes, even broken, it beats a lot of MMO's out there, because it makes us, even in fantasy, feel like a part of lots of various Star Trek traditions.
Yes, as long as there are new, shiny tech, ships, and uni's to get, I'll be playing for a long time to come, no matter if I post a lot on the Forums.
And, finally, since no one reads these I guess I can throw in one (probably often suggested) idea: there should be either a Constitutioin Terran Empire Bridge Variant, or a Terran Mirror Universe Bridge variant sold as a Z store item. I know I'd pay to have an authentic bridge, and not just go with the TOS because it's "close" to what I want.
@carterjohns1209, various TE and KDF officers
They never told us when we will get them... I'd like to have them as well and I think it will be Cryptics gift to us on Christmas...
If Star Trek Online was an Open-Source (GPL) Game, we would have a low-grind fork.
Dstahl actually said recently it will either be in this patch or next weeks patch.
AMEN to all of your points!
The devs, unfortunately, are all human beings. They can only fix what they can fix.
They must look for things to make us go.
