We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, October 29th, at 7AM PDT (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,

    Thursday is the 30th. 29th is today, in which case, the 7am is already long gone. :rolleyes:

    As I asked here as well:

    A playable Talaxian... how EXACTLY is this supposed to work?

    Remember that the game starts with you passing the Academy / taking over the Bird-of-Prey from your cowardly captain in 2409; a cadet stays at Starfleet Academy for 4 years, 8 if s/he's going to be a medical officer. That means your character must have entered the Academy in 2405 or 2401 respectivly... and access to the Delta Quadrant was just restored at the beginning of 2410. THERE. ARE. NO. TALAXIANS. IN. THE. ALPHA. QUADRANT. BEFORE. THAT.

    So playable Fed/KDF Talaxians are not possible!

    I was sad to see that too as the ones it lists are pretty awesome.

    There's an Ocampa already serving on ESD, they could have found a way to get here. Voyager was decades ago remember.

    Jeesh, they give new vet rewards when they dont have to and people find something to complain about.

    I for one am happy to see a new LTS bonus. Thank you.

    If it is not currently on the list I am in the dark as much as you are about when it will be fixed.

    Sorry I can't shed light on that bug, but never give up.

    As you can see we have a big ol' list this week of fixes, so the team is hard at work on more to come for next week too.

    I will cross my fingers and hope that the missing pips make it in soon!

    But I am sure you look smashing even without them ;)

    Patch Notes wrote:
    Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array from the Mission Reward for "Sphere of Influence" Renamed to "Ancient Omni-Directional Beam Array" to reduce confusion between this and the similarly-named Crafted Beam Arrays.

    This mission reward no longer shares a Equip Limit Category with the Crafted Beam Arrays, allowing both to be placed on any ship simultaneously.

    Damage from this weapon has been increased by a small amount.

    It still deals less damage than the Crafted Beams, but the difference is smaller, and this beam can benefit from a set bonus.

    With this change, Anti-Proton is now the goto for a DBB ship that has any Omnibeams and KCB.

    As it is, I still fail to see the reason for not allowing more than one [Arc] weapon on a ship. They are expensive to both buy or craft so there won't hordes of people using them. They really are as complementary to DBBs as Turrets are to DHCs.

    Please remove the [Arc] restrictions.

    Playable Talaxian? Well now I really want a 'species change' token haha. I don't have it in me to start a 15th character with the current state of the game.

    Can you clarify this item:
    Known Issues:
    The Federation, Klingon, and Romulan tutorials award the incorrect type of kits upon completion of the tutorial.

    I take that to mean the initial character tutorial you do at level 0. Right? Just want to make sure that doesn't mean any DR tutorial as I've not done DR yet.

    TIA

    as i asked in a seperate thread, since we have playable talaxians now:

    for any devs poking their heads in (or if you see this, smirk, please pass it on to the appropriate party for consideration), can we plase get playable benthans and hazari as an unlockable species in the c-store?

    it would really go well with those shiny T6 benthan cruisers and hazari destroyers...*gives big shiny puppy eyes of doom*
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I suspect that it'll get fixed with the other loadout bugs, whenever that's done.

    Massive patch as expected. Thanks for the hard work ;)

    Outstanding:

    1.) Unable to access the Intel costume purchased in the Operations Pack
    2.) Reman Fed-aligned players can develop, but cannot use ship mastery traits
    3.) Gather intelligence appear broken against some elite npc's (can stack, but no effect)
    4.) (mentioned, yes!) Bio-neural Gel packs are wonky
    5.) Loadouts randomly drop gear, previously saved settings and duty officers
