Hailing all Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, March 6th, at 7AM PST (click here to view in your timezone) for our weekly scheduled maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to last for 2.5 hours. The test server, launcher and access to manage your account may also be unavailable during some portions of the maintenance.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    Resolved an issue which was causing some KDF captains to not be able to switch to all costumes slots.
    Please let it be a delete button, otherwise I'm probably going to end up with more costumes than I have slots for.

    There is still a shared cooldown between two "Team" powers of the same career, e.g. Science Team I and Science Team III.

    Thank you SO much, Smirk!

    Hey, Devs, who was in charge of fixing the KDF costume bug? I want to marry that guy!

    why are you rushing the team changes to live so fast without us having enough chance to test this? I don't mind changes but you have to be reasonable and allow enough time for testing and feedback, a major change this fast from test server to live is completely unreasonable.

    Wow! The KDF uniforms issue is finally being fixed! Huzzah! :D
    And the bank shrinking thing fix is good, it's was sooo annoying.

    However, I'm starting with a new report now until I see these very important and even gamebreaking issues at least acknowledged.

    IGNORED ISSUES

    - Season 8 graphics/missing textures bug
    - KDF Captains can't enter Delta Volanis Cluster

    not really, in most games, things like this are decently common place when balance is a problem.

    Major change; are you kidding me? Being able to hit two buttons at the same time is not a major change. It's golden its perfect, we will all love it! We must press forth, the borg do not wait, the borg take no hostages. And I'm not interested in hearing the complaints of the 0.01% of players who spend all of their free time in PvP aiming to get 15 kills and suffer no losses and being the major reason so many fine features of this game have been nerfed. Also Cryptic, while I'm not thrilled with the reboot, I'm happy to hear that the lance beam has finally been fixed!

    As I said in the Tribble notes, all of my KDF toons still have the dead costume slots that cannot be worn or edited.

    Was the fix fixed or are you people just going to wave your hands around, these are not the costume slots you are looking for

    One question before the overhauled Dreadnought and its fleet brother hit the shelves : Wil the seperated saucer stick around the hull part and being a help, or is it going to wander around doing nothing, helping out others like the Ha'akona. I have that ship and it's annoying me that I have zilch benefit of the seperated piece.

    To be honest, and most might agree with me, but that seperated part should be controlled like a pet from a carrier (excluded the replenishment). For example an attack mode, defend mode, heal mode.

    Also concerning the Ha'akona, when will we see a fleet version of this ship.

    Well if you ignore some aspects of the game like PVP it might not be a major change for you. For those of us that play the entire game which includes pvp it will be. I am not trying to just have easy 15 kill no loss matches, I am worried some matches won't even end if everyone becomes unkillable.

    Think you will have to move to a state that allows polygamy, cuz it was a team effort!

    Who here thinks Worffan would make a lovely blushing bride?

    So what you're saying is that 0.01% of the players can tie their shoes while 99.99% of the players are having trouble managing to wear flipflops? It would matchup with what Geko said in the PO158.5 podcast mind you....

    I can see the thousands of KDF players being rushed to the hospital due to heart failures over their costume bug fix...
    :)

    Oh, and, afaik there are no states in the union which allow polygamous relationships...

    Which is unfortunate as he seems to hint that the solution is to make everybody wear those awful water socks. Small, medium, or large?

    Back on topic, I am looking forward to seeing how the team changes pan out. The Galaxy 'reboot' should be called something else, and I am really very hopeful that the KDF uniform situation is sorted because I am relentless with the STO Barbie mini-game. Thanks for at least a bit of KDF love guys! Now how 'bout that flanking? :D

    Not bad, but moving automatic shield distribution to somewhere other than Tactical Team would have been a better solution.

    I like your title proposition - it has the virtue of being honest. I'm also digging that costume concept. It sounds very Revan from KOTOR.

    We will be bringing down the Tribble server for maintenance to apply a new update: ST.36.20140207a.18

    General:
    • The Cloaking Device Console can no longer be used on the Exploration Cruiser Retrofit and Fleet Exploration Cruiser Retrofit.
      • This console was not meant to be usable on these ships.
    • The Galaxy Dreadnought Saucer can now fire its mini lance when separated.

    Sending things live when you know there's issues is just bad.i can only hope this patch has been ninja'd into todays patch

    I'll second that report. Just an acknowledgment of the gfx issues would be nice! They DO actually exist you know Dev's.

    Ok, you are officially a worthy replacement for the mighty BranFlakes, may His glorious Name be praised.

    Seriously, thank you guys sooooooooo much for fixing that costume bug. That thing has been the bane of the KDF faction for...well, at least three months, probably more.

    It's also causing your equipped weapon to randomly appear on your back even when you have the visual disabled.
    Arc is garbage. End of discussion.

    (...)

    Known Issues:

    There is no error explaining that loadouts and quick equip will not work if the captain’s inventory is full.
    Powers granted by a space set are not remembered in the power tray when using the loadouts feature.
    Warp trails are not consistently the same color for Romulan captains.

    Known Issue: Rom Embassy boffs lose body parts when trained by other Captains.

    Remember the speech you gave, the other day, about not ignoring things? Why, this would be a perfect opportunity to prove it, and finally get this very annoying bug fixed! :D
    Thanks for your patience and understanding,

    Reports of my patience and understanding are highly exaggerated.
