    It'd be awesome if the latest patch hadn't completely broken my game.

    Yay for new, albeit unobtainable, content!

    Crafting, a lock box and uniforms.

    That's a big update.

    This is the first time I can say that nothing in an update interests me. Roll on season 10. :(

    First impression of crafting: The game is telling me I need special items. It is not telling me how to obtain those items. Would an info box be too much to ask for, like, "You can obtain X through..."

    For whatever reason, after I patched, whenever I try to go to the tailor, it just crashes the game. It's happened three times and I'm not sure what's up.

    The damned conversion for the new crafting materials shafted our active science fleet project. It was full three hours ago, now it's only about 1/3 of the way to full!!!!

    Also, none of my crafting materials in my character's banks have been converted so what am I supposed to do with those now?

    You have to left click on samples and select "use." I too had to ask somebody.

    Well this stinks, all my purple prisoners got switched out with my common ones on doff assignments and are now gone. Edit: they appear to have been used in the assignment but are still in my brig.

    change maps = fix


    I was wondering if we have to exchange the old aegis sets, or if they will update automatically later? where to trade them if need be?

    Thanks for that. Still really annoyed at how it's handled the conversion rates though, especially for active fleet projects that just plain sucks.

    A new BO species - color me excited. Especially because he's customisable and shares his uniform. That's a great feature. Maybe earlier special BOs might become customisable in the future as well.

    Always in favor of new mirror ships. :cool:

    Now I'm off to put some of my chars into their new official standard uniform.

    Is anybody else having issues getting into their Arc account? Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but I can't get into the game at all since 9.5 dropped. :mad:

    One of the main things I find myself doing within STO is Doffing; flying around the galaxy collecting rewards, contraband and other duty officers.

    This new Doff System/GUI is far from user friendly. Quite frankly, it's a mess and it doesn't allow me to do one of the main things that I have been doing for some time now. I would like to see the old system back; there was nothing wrong with it.

    I cannot use this new system, and if I can't use something that is a key element of my play, well... I'm not likely to be playing all that much, am I? I'd like to say I'll wait till the next patch, but it's highly unlikely that'll revert the doff system back to pre 9.5

    Something needs to be done though; I'm sorry to the guys that spent a lot of their time on this, but what on earth were you thinking?

    No, you need to craft it.

    One would have thought they would have fixed the bug that accessing the Tailor crashes the game to the desktop. Great job, dev team, for letting this bug hit Holodeck! :mad:

    Edit: Seems to only crash Fed side. KDF side works for me.

    Edit 2: Game crashes when my characters on the Fed side that previously purchased the Odyssey Uniform before Season 9.5 try to access the tailor.

    I really only have 2 problems with the new Crafting System..

    1: And this is the big one for me.. You need One set of Crafting materials, in order to create another set of crafting materials, in order to then Craft the items you want. There's no game I've played where you needed to gather crappy materials, in order to make the ACTUAL materials you need to craft!

    2: Its insulting to see a "Finish now" button. Even if it is for Refined Dilithium. If you want to be a Facebook/Cellphone app based game.. Then go make one.. unless that's what your trying to do to STO.. turn it into one big Play now on FAcebook game.

    The only problem I have so far is having to make the components 1 at a time then go back in to restart the mission 5 and 6 times.

    Can you make a lot of the components at once?

    Yes they do allow multiple refinements all done consecutively, unlike here :(

    The new DOff UI is awful! The big buttons are just not needed and everything seems too wide. I can't even tell which DOff assignments I don't meet the requirements for anymore and it's so many clicks just o get one started. :eek: Until this is reverted, I officially give up on the DOff system and I have no interest in the new crafting system.

    The new doff UI is absolutely horrible.. :mad:
    I can only see a fraction of the list, huge amounts of waste screen space, can see less them half the assignments i could see before on the same screen real-estate, yet nothing new is shown :confused:
    I can't see when the next assignments ends, heck the running assignments aren't even sorted based on which one will end first..
    I have to hover over an icon to see what type of doff is needed, and sure the auto recommendations are better now, but I often don't put all my best doffs on a single assignment, but spread them out over a couple of similar ones.. and manually assigning doffs is an absolute nightmare now.. it doesn't even show which ones are the right profession, it only highlights the traits..

    I've always done the doff projects on at least 5 chars or so, daily.. but this UI really kills doff'ing for me.. it's an unworkable mess.. :(

    So nothing mention about the removal of exploration from the game. An I find it strange that the galaxy map include places that you can no longer go to because they have been remove. An it pretty pathetic for cryptic not to mention the biggest change in the game in their own blog, and the removal of content.

    Other than that there literally nothing in this update for me.
