Worst change ever - especially for the Mirror Universe Event.
(And yes, I know it's ending, but like the rest of STO's uber grind content, I'm sure it will return someday.)
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
One should still be able to skip cutscenes by hitting ESC...
STOWiki admin.
WHAT!? Seriously? This is really unfair. I like story but some of these cutscenes KILL people in missions because they get attacked in it. And I dont want to rewatch overviews for missions I've played alot already.
TRIBBLE Hydra! Hail Janeway!
EDIT: Argh, beaten too it.
I actually like Delta Rising.
One can definitely skip cutscenes on Holodeck right now by hitting ESC... so I wouldn't be worried.
STOWiki admin.
You can skip cut scenes with ESC. They just disabled space bar so people don't accidentally skip cut scenes when hitting space to fire weapons.
Dracula is happy his drain-a-lot build is getting some love with this patch.
You can still use esc.
Please enable us to buy a token with Zen to faction change a 25th Century FED to a TOS FED.

"Play smart!"
Welcome to the Forums dude... Although I find it funny, I like the cutscenes. with the exception of the Station still being attacked and dropping in health during the Dreadnaught Cutscene in Mirror
Hey, if you've seen a cutscene once, you don't really need to be forced to watch it again a dozen times on all your alts, especially if it's a mission that is designed to be replayed a dozen times on each character...
I think people (myself included) are more concerned about not being able to skip tutorial cutscenes in PVE missions like say Mirror Invasion, which are long and wastes time we can spend setting up.
TRIBBLE Hydra! Hail Janeway!
We prefer skipping content after the first run. Are you guys ever fixing the "Kirkland Here!" constant interruptions in "Boldly They Rode". It is the #1 thing in this game I'd love to avoid, specially when I farm for 6 beams from it.
That just means we're relatively happy with the rest of it.
I kinda got really excited when you allowed us to just get dil&ec, and opened about 50,000 boxes ...
It's not really that important, i'd just like to have a go at the New Rep and i don't really want to give up my TalShiar ship i used the bajillion EC on
Fact: You're quoting the guy who voiced Kurland.
Lol, if he played that episode 6-7 times in a row, he'd wan't to fire Kurkland out of an airlock.
The XP Boxes got fixed last time, you have to re transfer the toon
Oh I agree.
this is not going to go over well with science captains whose main source of damage comes from exotic powers instead of weapons...especially since science captains are the ones who usually have the highest auxiliary level and therefore could've gotten the most benefit from this passive
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Oh right, so if they work properly now - Can i not just open the boxes untill my XP is in the positives again?
Worries me too, specially when the 1 deflector they put out had several bugs. Can't imagine what would happen when they release the whole lot of them at one time.
Agreed, I want my Aux Power to affect my Grav Wells and every other sci power
Your XP is in overflow, I don't think it will be positive again, just recopy your toon.
Thanks, these changes have certainly made the Nukara space set much more viable in all aspects of the game. Not to mention the sheer number of bug fixes, changes based on feedback, and improvements made in these patch notes. I'd quote all of them, but that would be a mile long reply. Thanks very much for all the work put into this patch.
