Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, January 10th, at 6AM PST (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 4 hours. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    I understand all of those words, but not in that order. Maybe some punctuation would help me understand that sentence. :)

    While I understand they feel the need to fix the Transporter Doff bug it did make the game more fun.

    Everyone I've spoken to prefers the shorter cooldowns on all skills. Just generally makes the game more interactive and fun.

    The word "only" does not belong in that sentence. ;)

    I was hoping the Flamethrower would make its comeback this update, but alas.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    First patch in two weeks and it's really small. :(

    I hope there's cool things going on server side that we don't know about.

    This may be a long shot, but would love a ninja'ed in voice over replacement in "Cutting the Cord." A little taste of what's to come.

    *Looks at the notes.....looks over the notes on tiptoes, walks to the left and right of them and takes a peek behind them and finally lifts them up to look under them..........

    Hmmm is that all there is?

    No fix for the KDF tailor;

    No fix for the Honor Guard/MACO Elite Commander and Omega Shadow Operative accolades;

    No fix for for the Fleet Scourge Destroyer customization.

    I guess it's all is working as intended.

    The team just got back into the swing of things on Monday, so it's understandable since this just went to Tribble yesterday :)

    The team is investigating many of the Foundry issues that have been posted about in the Foundry Bugs forum. We're hoping to have many of them resolved very soon.

    Just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten about the Founders... :D

    Thanks for the clarification. :)

    So what abilities was the Romulan Transporter Officer doff affecting that it wasn't supposed to be?
  • patarmarkanpatarmarkan Member Posts: 0 Arc User
    edited January 2013
    I think there are many bugs out there which should get more attention than a KDF-doff mission short before the end of the event.

    What about the fleet chat issue after changing characters.
    In the planet killer mission you still can't use any boffs while flying the Targ.
    In Ker'rat you still can find many broken items. (Funny though)
    There are still abilities and weapon modifiers without their proper functions as far as I know.
    Missing textures and background flickering still are around as well.
    I really can wait for new content, even when I am bored already - but a major bug fix would be appreciated more than anything else.

    Most of the folks at STO Central spent the last two weeks in an alcohol-fueled family-and-fun coma-like state. They stumbled back to work this week and spent the last three days trying to remember their passwords so they could log in.

    Cut them some slack you have NOT THE SLIGHTEST IDEA how things work there. :D

    Hello,

    After many months of playing STO, I really love the game. It pays great tribute to Star Trek and the ships and planets in the series. It is also a beautiful game, with the graphics and all.

    However, the crafting system could use a little work. It just seems to me that with all the time and effort that goes into getting all of the materials needed to craft things, the end does not justify the means.

    I mean, if it takes me a few weeks to gather the material needed to craft a phaser array, I should get more than just a mark VIII when I can just as easily get a mark XI or XII with better properties by either doing an STF or other group event.

    So please, either make the requirements less or make the items we get for all the effort with crafting worth our while.

    Otherwise, just can the whole crafting system and use that extra space for something better.

    Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more patches.

    Best Regards and happy gaming,
    Coy-G :)

    I remember pre s6 when the game patches only lasted 2 hours or so now there in excess of 3 hours. it's a pity that they are not resolving any of the other game bugs during this time

    Glad to see patches are resuming. But what is the status of the Romulan Plasma Flamethrower? There isn't a word in that name I don't like, and it motivated me to go through the Romulan Reputation. Right up until it was removed a week before I maxed out my Rep.

    Whats the status/when is it coming back?
