We already brought down the Tribble server for maintenance to apply a new update.
ST.31.20130714a.16
General:
ST.31.20130714a.16
General:
- Players that have had issues purchasing Spiral Wave Disruptors, Jem'Hadar Attack Pets, or any other limited item should no longer experience these issues.

- Updated another instance of corvette that was using a capital C.
- Turret Fabrication IV will now correctly fabricate a Tier 4 Turret when used by a Romulan Player.
- Sensor Analysis no longer forces the player into red alert.

- The Aquarius should no longer appear at 4 times its intended size when launched from an Odyssey.
- The Andorian Phasers have been given audio that is even more unique based on player feedback.
- Carrier UI Updates:
- All pets will be far less likely to engage enemies beyond a range of 12km
- Unless those enemies have also actively damaged their owner's Carrier.
- All pets are now more responsive while under Escort command. This includes upgrades to their behavior that controls:
- Targeting enemies that have damaged their Escort target, preferring targets that have also attacked their owner's Carrier, and ignoring orders that tell them to escort themselves or fellow hangar pets.
- All pets will now ignore enemies beyond 12km while under Intercept command, regardless of their combat activities.
- This allows them to more accurately intercept incoming mines, torpedoes and small craft heading for their owner Carrier.
- Resolved a logic loophole with the new Recall functionality that allowed pets to occasionally stop responding to subsequent commands.
- Duty Officers that rely upon Intercept, Escort and Recall commands being issued will now work correctly with Jem'Hadar Attack Ships, Bird-of-Prey Raiders, Syphon Drones and Shield Repair Drones.
- The AI routines of Shield Repair Drones have entirely new, and more responsive, set of command behaviors to follow
- For these pets, Intercept and Attack set these pets to sort of an "auto-heal" mode.
- Use Escort for increased control of their support features.
- The AI routines of Bird-of-Prey Raiders have been improved to include more well-defined Strafing Runs.
- These pets only have a chance to ent
- All pets will be far less likely to engage enemies beyond a range of 12km

I call it, the Stoutes paradox.
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
and the female version 1 republic uniform got screwed up a week ago when the vet uniforms first started getting added to tribble.
Turret Fabrication IV will now correctly fabricate a Tier 4 Turret when used by a Romulan Player
Does this include the standalone ships (from the ship store), both normal and fleet versions?
My fleet Aquarius is almost as big as a Galaxy-class.
Please enable us to buy a token with Zen to faction change a 25th Century FED to a TOS FED.
I tried to equip my regular fleet phasers and then swtich back, same thing. It sounds almost identical. Maybe it is not working for the Fleet versions?
Could you also make it so they don't do that while in attack mode? It's really annoying when sitting there waiting to heal and my pets decide to go after stuff 14km+ away and aggro EVERYTHING in sight.
Good example is I did the KDF 'Empire Defense' dailies and defeat the 6 groups in a single system in about 3 minutes but it takes another 5 minutes before I can leave. Can't exit while in red alert. I never wondered what it would be like to have 20 borg spheres come after me but now I know. Sure I could just let my pets die but then I'd have to deal with the 15+ enemies they aggroed because they went 20km away from me. Thankfully my mirror Vo'quv carrier is pretty tough, but it ends up making a mission take too long to get out of after it's complete.
Edit:
Does this mean they won't dock with the carrier suddenly on their own? I've had that happen a lot of times. They'll be attacking something and I can see them suddenly fade out as if I had them on recall and they docked. When that happens they can no longer be resummoned or undocked and your hanger is full and tied up.
Any chance of Elite Widows being looked at so they get FaW reduced to 30s like on other hanger pets? The Mesh Weaver getting the same? What about Cannon: Rapid Fire on Jem'Hadar Fighters and JHAS pets?
And it still shoots from the feet too I bet.
Been bugged from LOR release.
Actually, I *love* that.
- Deploy pets at 14km distance;
- Pets go aggro enemies (who in turn can't fire at you);
- Pets keep Tholians distracted;
- You quickly disable tractor beams at your leasure;
- Enemies despawn/warp off when tractor beams are disabled;
- Profit.
Fer'jais need to make better strafing runs, too.
And my fleet members have confirmed that only basic Romulan Drone Ships use FAW and BO, the Advanced and Elite do not. That's a pretty big hit to their DPS.
Good job Cryptic, they sound excellent :P
I don't understand the change? Are you saying the event has been completely changed and is no longer a daily?

I think; that's what I took from it, at least
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Maybe ... although wouldn't make much of a difference with the event being just 1 hour (and having a cd of 4 hours at the start of a run or end of a run) that wouldn't make much of a difference.
I got my decked out tour runner ready on Tribble ... will test in an hour.
female romulan republic v1 uniform- still bugged, still seeing yellow jacket texture on top of the undershirt incorrectly
select preset uniform screen on most does not change your colors correctly, and a lot of the preset screens were just black. it could be bugyness with tribble not recognizing what you bought from the c store on holodeck though.
I just did a complete run on Tribble, and then switched over to Holodeck and did a complete run there too. I don't see a single difference. We can do at most 1 complete run - rewards are exactly the same between the two. The 4 hour cd remains intact on Tribble, and starts as soon as TTG is picked up from Yim - exactly the same as it is on Holodeck.
Edit: And after re-reading the notes, that is exactly how they want it to work it looks
This seems like a really simple solution. If you didn't want them to attack, why are they set to attack mode? If you wanted to get out of red alert, set them to recall.
C'mon, Salami... I know you're aware of it.
Yay, if this is what I think it is.
Not a simple solution when doing the empire defense dailies. They have a tendency to go as far as 20km or more on their own aggroing everything in sight when you're attacking groups to finish the system. Not possible to get out of red alert even if I put them on recall. I'd end up with a ton of enemies on me anyway because they go too damn far out and you can't exit those maps while in red alert.
In other words, while attacking, the pets fly way far away from the targets and keep their distance as far as possible no matter if they're set to attack or intercept. I'm guessing it has to do with the new AI that forces them to avoid exploding ships. Well it works. Too well.
Edit: Forgot to mention if the pets decide to attack something 20km away, putting them into recall mode doesn't do any good. If they're too far away from you they won't listen. They keep attacking and in the mean time, everything they aggroed is coming straight for me while I'm still trying to defeat stuff they aggroed.
I've said it months ago somewhere in a thread on the forums and I'll say it again: Carrier pets shouldn't go after anything outside of your weapon range, unless an enemy is aggroed already and heading for you.
At a dead stop just sitting there not targeting anything, if it's up to 14km away they go after it on their own and it's really annoying.
For month, people have reported bugs about the Aquarius Destroyer size problems.
No reaction or answer from the Devs.
Today the bug seems fixed.
So I think there are still communication problems especially when it's about fixing bugs.
I don't know why it seems to be such a mystery for the Devs to tell us on what bugs they are currently working.
And we all know that once something is posted here, the crowed spreads the word.
It really would be good to have a list, no matter how long this list is, for us to see what is currently been worked on.
It would avoid for us to post the same bugs over and over again.
I do NOT want them deciding that they want to engage with something that i don't have targeted that is more then 15km from me. The max range they should be in is 0-15km +/- their orbit radius. When I hit recall I want them to hurry back as well. Some of them are really slow in returning.
Oh and on a side note, there are some weapons you can fire that have a max range of 15km. I know of at least 1 but I have not bothered to look for any others.
