Tribble Maintenance and Release Notes - February 10, 2015

coldsnappedcoldsnapped Member Posts: 520 Cryptic Developer
Tribble is being brought down for maintenance to update it to build ST.47.20150112a.28.

General:
  • Resolved an issue where the Borg Command Ship and Support Ships would fail to appear in the Borg Red Alert.
  • Resolved an issue where players would sometimes not receive credit for the accolade “Twin Souls” from the episode “Dust to Dust”.
  • Resolved an issue where the Delta Intel Bridge Officers could not be trained in new skills.
  • Removed the Kobali Soldier 1 boots from the Off-Duty Robes category.
  • Adding VO to some areas of the episode “Taris” which were missing.

Systems:
  • Bridge Officers can now be converted into a Training Manual.
    • To begin this process, in either the inventory or Bridge Officer Candidate window, right click an Officer and choose to Create Manual.
    • The player can now choose to create one Manual from one of the available powers that the Bridge Officer has.
    • Pressing Choose Manual will create the Manual and place it into the inventory to be used later.
    • If the Bridge Officer is bound, the Manual will also be bound once made.
    • Commissioned Bridge Officers can no longer be traded or placed onto the Exchange.
    • Players can still sell, trade, and mail uncommissioned Bridge Officers unless they are bound.
  • Resolved an issue where the R&D Task Training for Emergency Power to Auxiliary III would not award the Manual.
  • Resolved an issue where occasionally switching a loadout with only one existing one causes inaccurate Bridge Officer switching.
  • Resolved an issue where Bridge Officers could sometimes get in a state where they can have Command and Intel powers at the same time.

UI:
  • Changed the unslotted Ground stations power slots to be empty slots as opposed to disabled slots when there is no officer slotted into them.
  • Removed the Officer Training school from the R&D School tab in the Overview window as this school does not have a level.
  • Resolved an issue where the EV suit button would take a long time to appear after equipping the suit.
  • Removed the "Train" option from Bridge Officer's Career Options as this is no longer how Bridge Officers are trained.
  • Resolved an issue where there would be extra Bridge Officer Power slots visible on the Stations page with a newly acquired ship.

Known Issues:
  • Foundry functions are not available at this time.
  • The Captain’s chair on the bridge on the APU ship cannot be sat in.
  • KDF players do not appear in the scoreboard at the end of a PVP match.

    Good patch (no nerfs, lol). Too bad for the poor bridge officers being turned into PADDS, but it's for the greater good.

    Thanks Cold.

    My most important question: Where will the Boff Training be moved to? :D

    Looks to be an excellent patch. Great job getting the manuals for boff-only abilities in so quickly :)

    Glad the VOs are being added to Taris, too. I've been putting off running that mission on Holodeck until they're in.

    Good changes incoming.
    I'm glad we're getting back the ability to train certain rarer BOFF powers, even at the cost of the officer which is pretty much the exact same as before though at least now once we teach another officer that power they will keep it forever.

    Glad the accolade for Dust to Dust is being fixed, I've completed 6 runs of that now and not gotten the accolade once.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    Great, time to clear them out -- they have been mail or stuck in box for quite some time.
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    [*]Removed the Kobali Soldier 1 boots from the Off-Duty Robes category.

    Hmmm... The Kobali Soldier 1 boots are already not available in the Off-Duty Robes category. Callevista said that was WAI, but he was going to look into possibly adding them as discussed here:

    We did not allow the Kobali Soldier boots on the Off-Duty Robes category because it would potentially clip through other existing Robes. I'll look at these again, we maybe able to get the less-bulky Kobali Soldier 1 boots to work with the existing Robes. But the Kobali Soldier 2 Boots certainly will not work with the Off-Duty Robes.


    Are these Release Notes intended to mean the boots have been added to Off-Duty Robes category?

    :confused::o

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    Reassure me: "uncomissioned Bridge Officers" are all boff candidates, right? Even those that are already in out candidate lists, correct?

    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Soylent Training Manuals are made of people! Sorry, had to go there. :D

    Glad to see we can still sell/trade/mail BOFFs around. Any progress on fixing BOFFs so they can be mailed? Unable to drag them from inventory or the candidate roster at this time to mail them around. At least this is the case currently on Holodeck.

    The guys in the left list are comissioned. Your Away Team and everyone you assign to Bridge stations.

    Uncomissioned is every Boff in the inventory or the "parking lane.

    Thank you for adding this feature.
    Commissioned Bridge Officers can no longer be traded or placed onto the Exchange.

    As far as I know, commissioned bridge officers could never be sold on the Exchange, but they could be traded. Is there a reason why this was changed?

    Turning the Bridge Officers into Training Manuals is a very nice move.

    Probably because now you could potentially trade a fully trained BOFF as opposed to one with just the original 8 powers.

    Right now it would seem the Boffs in the candidate roster are somehow bound to the player as well.

    It's just removed from the summary on the first "page". It's still on the R&D tab, where you start assignments. Makes sense to me, since Officer Training has no level.

    There is an issue you should be aware of; freezing on tutorial intro vids: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1367051

    I realize this isn't the proper thread for it, but I wanted to make sure it had the best chance of being seen, or even responded to. Still, of course, these fixes are great

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Not sure if anyone else noticed, but this means no more trading the diplomacy level 4 boffs. So get your all Orion slave girl crew while you can, i guess.

    Why would you block the trade of commissioned officers? Special officers cannot be traded any way. Sending a regular officer to a new player to help them out doesn't affect you. New people need help and this is a tool to help them...

    Oh and it says tribble not holodeck. Is that a typo?

    Is there any chance the devs could look at the Thoron Mines from the Delta Reputation store as they are completely broken. No proc, no thoron bonus. 20,000 dilithium and all you get are basic Quantum mines instead of Thoron mines.

    Items that cost dilithium shouldn’t be left broken this long. It rips the players off as it takes us 2 and a half days of grinding to get a that broken items. A great way to drive players away.

    • Commissioned Bridge Officers can no longer be traded or placed onto the Exchange.

    Some of us have a large number of unused commissioned bridge officers, and occasionally enjoy passing them on to other players who can get more use out of them. This also prevents RP crew transfers (which I have personally done several times). We've never been able to place commissioned bridge officers on the exchange, but we still need to be able to transfer them to others.

    Really confused as to why you're eliminating the trading of commissioned officers. Is it a side effect of other changes being made or is it being done purposefully? I can't imagine there's a balance issue here. Can we get some clarification?
