The portal behind Q on New Romulus Command can now be seen and heard on low settings.

Systems:

4 Year Anniversary Dyson Ships:

- Resolved an issue causing some ship animations to play incorrectly with all new Dyson ships from the 4 year anniversary event reward.
- Dyson ship interiors can be set to faction specific bridges now instead of only having access to the Dyson bridge.

- Descriptions on item and power updated to reflect this fix.

The Nimbus Pirate Distress Call can no longer be used while piloting a Small Craft.
- Fleet Support will now summon allied Small Craft if used while piloting a Small Craft.
Festive Party Horn:

Loadouts:

The "New Loadout" option will now be removed once the number of used loadout slots reaches the limit.

Loadouts can no longer be switched during combat.

Alpha Deception Field console now only affects the Cooldowns of Bridge Officer abilities.

Descriptions on item and power updated to reflect this fix.

*checks calendar*

Yep, almost a record, I think only the Valdore console fix was faster.

Very good.

wpace2 · February 2014

Any updates on the defiant model (new parts are only showing up on one side)

toiva · February 2014

Are Loadouts still having trouble with switching Boffs correctly?

Guess I'll have to look.

jam062307 · February 2014

How about a fix for the KDF Costume slots THAT I PAID FOR not working. This has been a bug for far too long!

erm...didn't a fix for the valdore console take over a month to make it to tribble, nevermind holodeck? this has only been out for 6 or so days; i'd say it was the faster fix

usscapital · February 2014

Resolved an issue causing some ship animations to play incorrectly with all new Dyson ships from the 4 year anniversary event reward.

will this solve the below or is that fix still to come ?

Still waiting on Dyson cat fixes.

Is this fix just for the headshot or have you fixed fields such as species and the biography too? Also, the ship field sometimes says that the character is in a shuttle even when he or she is not.

Another problem is that the headshots for saved costume files have the wrong zoom. See the bug report below.

Does this also fix the visible neck seam on all characters, not just Orions?

Yeah those costume slot thing in a few weeks I bet will go to the hidden section which is...

Swept Under the Rug:

KDF Costume slots
KHG Costumes
Jem hadar body armor costume
The KDF in General is bugged and not worth the time of day to fix.

Does make me wonder though D'angelo stated in his latest interview that he wanted to take STO to its technological limits but they can't even fix KDF uniforms so they are already at their limits.

zntech · February 2014

Their technical capabilities are under question from day 1 right now they have only one game project in development .

Number of open accounts are not the measure of good statistic only active players per day which is on STO very low number.

And the list of bug's on STO is that big (wall of shame ) that i think they will close this project this year (last set back of with start with season 8.5 and problems and bugs after that).

KDF bug spatially costume one, came up on the list after I pm all developers on the list that i found on this forum and this problem persist at list 2 years.

Community of players is 0 ,not exist , support I don't know what is it in this game.

So what can I say more to help those people to be better?

This start to be a recurring joke.
If it was affecting feds, it would have been fixed by now. But it's KDF, so it can wait. It was bugged for SOI, then bugged again later. It's been months, and still nothing. Are you even working on it, or just copy and paste the known bug on every patch note ?

kapla1755 · February 2014

irrc kdf costume slots have been bugged since prior to the Romulan expansion so June of 2013 or thereabouts.

Reminds me of three words: Romulan Senate Robes.

KDF bugs (K't'inga hasn't been fixed in 3 years, Marauding BOFF hasn't been fixed either) are always low priority.

I know mine all started bugging out at Nimbus entering the 'strip joint'.

dragonsbite · February 2014

And still no mention of anything about acc overflow not working during Fire at Will. Do they think it actually works when it clearly does not? /confused

mirrorchaos · February 2014

the khan hair option is back? what?

guess im gonna have to dleete a tribble toon and transfer another across just for the hairstyle whatever the dev meant by "back".

futurepastnow · February 2014

Good bug fixes.

Somehow, all of my KDF characters still have access to all of their costume slots.

primar13 · February 2014

I was hoping that the aniversery bug on the Fed ship which caused one of the nacelles to not compact would be fixed, but it does not appear to be fixed.

Please Add T4 Maurading Bridge Officer's customization being broken (Clothes Physical Features etc), when this does eventually get fixed

Tops of chests now blend correctly with Orion females.

This bug also afects all the females in the rest of the game, it was introduced last week and you see it if you make a new uniform or edit an old one.

Here is the report: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=14974171#post14974171

Does this also extend to the Romulan distress calls available through the Romulan Reputation? Not that anybody actually uses those anymore thanks to them being so thoroughly nerfed after they were abused in regular PvP to begin with...

It's part of the ARC giveway, with the Khan off duty outfit.

i call jinx ur in for it now :eek:

anyway i wont to buy more costume slots ive 5 at the moment but why should i when there bug out on me every couple of months n its now showing 11 costume slots on my kdf chars that cant be used for some mad reason.

kapla1755 · February 2014

no word on adding female nausicaans, letheans or possibly sulibans to the game?

hovering at 49 alts + 3 open character slots, don't really care about a new faction but new playable races even if they are c-store unlocks would be nice or possibly the purchase of a TR:unrestricted option as a tailor option purchase irrc I have about 10+ costume slots per alt at the moment between lobi, spire,fleet,omega,khg and off duty its like its own mini-game.

phew. Although omega's still a 90 degree KCB with recharge time now (tooltip still wrong btw, being calculated as if there was no torpedo GCD.)

[*]Destabilized Tetryon:
Resolved an issue that was preventing Science Team from cleansing the effects of this proc.

It isn't proccing as often either(possibly checking once per volley?) and the total only adds up to a normal tetryon proc(if the target has no insulator skill) after 15 seconds. Are those issues already fixed on tribble?

robos8 · February 2014

And the dyson uniform pants and boots bug? Dyson engine visual? Maco, Omega, Senator outfits they don't appear in the tailor for Romulan liberated borg? :mad:
