    Here are some before and after images that I took for this specific project*:


    Image 1 - Before
    Image 1 - After

    Image 2 - Before

    *Note: Visuals from some of the past unlocks may be present in these screens, but they would be present in both the 'before' and 'after' photos.

    Nice work! I've been waiting for that one since I've seen the spire for the first time.

    Got the same thing here.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a picture of a 400 page that smirk uploaded.

    So what does it do? Does it bear fruit? Does it serve Vaal?

    Are you using Chrome? We can't reproduce this issue, they are all coming through on our end. Try viewing the webpage in Firefox. If it comes through, then it is your cache in Chrome causing the prob.

    lol.

    I typically have to clear my browsing data about once a month in order to keep the Error 400's away.

    On Chrome, go to Tools -> Clear Browsing Data -> check the boxes for "Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data" and "Empty the cache", and click "Clear Browsing Data".

    It only seems to work if I do both of those, one or the other doesn't quite pull it off.

    I always have trouble with the images giving me 400 messages all over the site always. I use chrome but I'll try clearing my cache later.

    Seriously, PWE's web people need to really work on this, because your servers are the only ones I have issues with loading images in chrome. And while you can tell me 'oh clear your cache and that should resolve the issue.' I should NOT have to do this all the bloody time just to view content on your site. This is primarily an issue on your end so I submit that they really need to step up and make the site work for everyone all the time, especially if you are going to be transitioning to this arcgames stuff (whole other can of worms, not included)

    I knew that this cosmetic improvement would be available today.

    Is this the last Spire Limited Featured Project and the next new Limited Featured Project will be introduced in Season 9?

    So, I'm guessing that, since this is the final one, we're on our way to Season 9 by March 6th?

    This seems like the kind of thing, once again, that should've been unlocked with normal progression.

    This fleet holding is the embodiment with what's wrong with the current state of the game. It's barren, every detail that something like the dilithium mine would've just come with via prgression is considered an extra unlock, and it's supposed to be OK because it's shiny and poops out uber dps consoles and wtfbowdowntokingcrit pets. There's no repeatable officer of the watch missions, and without at least 600k dilithium, a fleet has one dark windowless room for a holding, even at tier 3.

    The embassy and mine were fabulous, intricate, fun environments to explore, and even at least feigned a modest attempt at adding some small level of single-player replayability daily options. The spire is reused asset that's not even as nice as the public one. There wasn't a single optional project that the first two needed to have, they instead actually enhanced the environment. The spire without the optionals is practically unfinished content. For god's sake, we paid 200k to get a bar, didn't even get a bartender.

    I'm not using Chrome however.

    That's an easy fix:

    Go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/

    Click on 'Download Chrome'...

    j/k, but the methods to clear your browsing data should be pretty similar in most browsers...

    Chrome is so mainstream. Opera for the win.

    Link to the blog.

    Thanks a lot for Arc. Thank you so very very much for integrating the forums into it. :mad:

    When I click your 'Link to Blog', I get the blog page with a window on top of it that says 'Star Trek Online has moved. -You will be redirected in 7 seconds', after the timer reaches 0 it redirects me to http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/star-trek-online. It's the same for all your blogs.

    There is usually a re-run of all the previous limited time projects before the new holding becomes available.

    Looks way cool! Will never get there... :-) Not in my mini fleet, lol... Not unless there's a x2000 dilithium weekend someday :-)

    Same here with a mini Fleet. At least they should make these always available so if we ever get Dilithium rich.

    LOL I saw the latest episode of Star Trek Continues where the drama is an Orion slave girl. I thought to myself, "Why don't they just buy her with Dilithium?"

    LOL see what Cryptic has done to me.
