Favourite Bugs in STO

No, not the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship.

The gameplay bugs.

One of my faves was the one back when we first got access to the Jem'Hadar shield array and it's innate "brace for impact" would proc the shield distribution doffs. C&H was brought to a laggy crawl by shield tanking shuttles with a stack of 99 buffs. Yeah, at a certain point the stack would actually cause the map to lag real bad (like 2 frames per second).

The other one was when a Romulan Bird of Prey would fire off heavy plasma torps, only for the plasma torps to do a 180 and start chasing the bird of prey.

    That is an ability now!

    You what I like? The Borg's Rangeless One-Hit Kill Invisible Torpedoes. I keep an auto-turret console on my ship so that they would never bother me. But I love watching some guy rant about how much more awesome he is than me and then explode out of nowhere. :D

    Got that a lot when using plasma beams. And sometimes it would bounce off the BoP, harming it multiple times.

    During the LoR launch there was a bug with the romulan dress that caused reman arms to be invisible. I made an armless reman with a whole back story how she used her telikenesis to levitate pistols for combat. Then they fixed the bug and I deleted her and made someone else.

    I was really bummed the fix was retroactive. Many costume bugs last until you change them in the tailor. Sadly not this one.

    When you go to the exchange to search for a Quantum Torpedo Launcher and you click search and for some reason the system does not recognize what a Quantum Torpedo Launcher is and that it exists. Then you search Quantum and then somehow looking through all the Quantum stuff, you find the Quantum Torpedo Launcher you want and the mark you want it at. They really need to fix that. Holy mackerel! :confused:

    Red Fed.

    It got sadly squashed with LoR, but it allowed you to switch factions in Ker'rat.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Price per unit descending actually gives ascending prices. =)

    By far, my favourite bug was where plasma torpedoes would hit the thing that fired it. I used to specifically exploit that for the comedy of it. :D
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    My favourite is one that is still happening today. If you purchase Elite Fleet Disruptor Dual Pistols, their models aren't actually pistols, they're elite sniper rifles. So you fire normally, but with two massive sniper rifles. And they holster at your hip and hang down to the ground.

    During last year's summer event, if you wore the casual Risian clothes and an environmental suit, it would render the environmental suit pants, the Risian top, no head, and the EV suit light.

    During the Lor beta, I created a character or tribble, trying to make her as grotesque as possible. I finished, and it hung at 80% of rendering her, so she had no face, just a pair of staring eyes. I took a screenshot, and named her Eeee.

    to go with the unkillable Jemhadar set was the Valdore console bug that made that ship unkillable.

    my least favorite bug today is the simple fact that the counter command weapons set and the protonic arsenal sets

    1. don't stack
    2. don't give the damage bonuses they are suppose to
