Yes...but the fact remains that they are sadistic trolls, in a community of sadistic trolls.
but they DO listen and attempt to fix the bugs. I see lots of threads about bugs on the forums; 95% of the time, those bugs are fixed in the next weekly patch.
So give the devs a break. They're better than the other options (WoW, I'm looking at you).
I missed something here.. u talking about STO right? are u high?? lol. If fixing bugs for you is to fix 2 bubs of the 300 available every week.. (and counting that 10 new will appear in all the patches) then, you should go to mars, i think you are not human, dude.
So all those people who think Cryptic doesn't care because they're taking away a saucer which they said before "it wasn't supposed to be there," What you want is cryptic to violate the agreement of the CBS License, and if they do that, CBS Shuts the game down entirely, no more STO. Then you'll complain about that.
And Sidekicking is similar to what we use in FFXI Online, Level Sync. Although ours works works opposite as the higher level syncs down to the lowest level in the party. Either way it is a great feature.

I've heard horror stories about it. I will stick to STO. I am really looking forward to the bonus marks these next few days. Still on the fence on the Dyson ships. It is like I am trying to convince myself to get them, but I just cannot think of a reason to. I keep looking at the builds and they just don't interest me. I love sci and eng, but not much for tac. I know they were trying to make something a little different with them, but I just have a hard time getting excited about them. Sure, my Romulans can use some better ships, but I'm still not sure. I don't like the Scim either. As I said, I am not crazy about tac.
I have built tanks and I love playing them. My recluse is incredibly fun and often times tops the dps charts in runs like CE Elite if you can believe that. Maybe I will post my build someday. The damage is coming from somewhere and it's not my beams.
I'm on the fence about those ships too, many in my fleet also feel that way. But I can't say I'm leaning towards getting them, more away from them. The cannons were a gimmick too far in my opinion.

I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
In STO, however, the devs are mostly absent, unless you suck up to them. But as soon as you bring up an inconvenient truth, like bugs that haven't been fixed in years, they stay silent for months.
They got slightly better about acknowledging bugs for a single week this year and that was it. I wish they would deal with the bug issue better, but it seems it's all about pushing more content. At least dedicate half a season (9.5 maybe?) to squashing bugs.
As far as to explaining why things are a certain way, taco takes the prize for most helpful dev. He responds frequently and throws in funny comments every now and then. It would be great if the rest of the devs actually took his example and chimed in when people talk about certain mechanics and why they work a certain way early in a thread, instead of having to wait until the thread goes to 100+ pages to finally give in and say something. Yes, it might start a lot of complaints after the response, but at least putting that info out there is appreciated.
U kidding me right?? STO is far worst than EVE in terms of bugs and useless patchs. As i said time ago, i never saw a game like STO talking about bugs and the lack of interest from the team of fixing em. Not even *** on their release (known as the most bugged game ever in the story).
My concern about the new materials is for fleet ships. If a fleet ship does not have access to new materials, do we have to discharge them, buy more fleet modules, and purchase them again? Because that would really suck...
That concern is well understood. We included the possibility of having to discharge your ships, but we are hoping things wont come to that. Now that the skinz are live, we can see who is unable to swap them.
Please let us know if you have trouble with your ships, and don't discharge them right away unless you want to take the chance.
So, when you change ship-captain backgrounds to the Origin bridge, will you also be fixing the background behind the captain of the Constitution-class at Drozana back in the 23rd Century (as seen in "Night of the Comet")? Because it struck me on the last playthrough that the bridge in the background was that of a Galaxy-class...
Good catch, I am not sure what the answer is for that now, but whoever plays through it first, let us know what you see after this patch.

How will this be handled, will we get free Module(s) if the Fleet ships cannot use the new skins?
On the contrary xD. Ive been playing f2p since years ago (maybe since fp2 was invented lol.. yeah im that old, so what?). I think you are the one who never played a f2p mmorpg besides STO. Or maybe you are a cryptic worker lol?.
I say it again. STO is the most bugged f2p game ive ever played. It was bugged when it was not f2p, and now that it is, its even more. And so you know, the only thing f2p means is that cryptic have an excuse to stop investing money on the "fixing bugs" deparment and redirect all the foundings to just release new content. THAT is what means f2p and in the case of STO, with uppercase. Cryptic is gaining now even more money that when the game was not fp2. So..
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

Ok the KDF costume slots is gettin beyond a joke by now......BUT
where the HELL is the KDF Flanking bonus for Bops that was promised back at end of November?
Iv have not seen it mentioned in feckin ages... its all bout dyson ships and second deflectors now.
It will not surprise me at all to see secondary deflectors become standard on all sci ships and we will still have no ****** flanking bonus for Bops....:mad:
Seriously u guys really hate the KDF or something?
I'm sure at this point, Cryptic needs to be aware of and concerned about the potential health risks of actually going in and fixing some of these bugs, like the KDF uniform slots...
I mean, if it ever did get fixed, can you imagine the number of heart-attack or heart-failures there would be? The number of shock victims? That's a massive amount of lost customers...

The first time that Captain Smirk doesn't use Scotties' trick to announce a longer time and finish early...
Watch-out, you could give some parts of the community the chance to complain about you the first time... Or did anybody complain that you finished early the last two weeks?
LoL actually I did, and I was asked to change it My Scotty-ways are no longer effective.. oh no!
As for the Fleet ships not taking the new skinz, that's right I said it again, if it becomes an issue, we will update the community with solutions as soon as we can.
For the 'thread is still opened' posts, I am trying a new method so I could take some time after maintenance to try and answer some of the questions here. I do want to try and address the forgotten voices that permeate the threads, so none of you feel left out or ignored.
After reading thru the last 8 pages though, I found myself laughing at the witty back and forth between many of you. You had me bursting at the seems I loved some of the responses to responses, the sarcasm runs deep in many of you My people!
Now that Arc has launched, I have more time to devote to STO, hooray! ( I hope you enjoy all my hard work in the STO media section, the Guide section, and the Product Page section)
Closing now, but stay tuned for more bug fixes to come, and hang in there forum folks, we are all very hard workers and try to get as much address each week as we can. Oh if only I could tell you all about the upcoming REDACTED.

No, no, you got it the other way around.
In STO it actually is the opposite - people bashing other games they never even tried playing.

And has a much larger development team than it did then, too.
