    Hey, guys.. the devs copped to it allready..

    Retiring Holdeck build.. IT"S A JOKE!. chill out, now bodys taking yer stuff.... yet.



    Original launch from 5 years ago STO on red shirt.. NOT A JOKE! Real!

    Enjoy the comparisons twixt then and now. Expect a much more primitive game with a a whole lotta stuff not only not there, but not availible ...


    ((and please, check brains here.. yer not going to see zen-store ships for the most part availible AT ALL.. because 5 years ago.. they didn't exist! So pure vanilla STO old style. It'll be kinda interesting to tell the truth..

    So, when yer done fer the day.. Open the launcher, point it at red shirt, and let it do its thing..

    Go play on it when yer looking for a little change up.

    Oh and by the way.. your ship will be damaged in battle.. make regular stops at a base and get it repaired or you'll wish you had...... If I recall it wasn't untill a bit after launch that they made hard level a different option.

    Hey, it's been 5 years ok..I remember most of it all.. but not all of it!

    Just play and enjoy... and really folks.. its not like the red shirt shard has been getting a lot of use anyway.. I think this is a great use for it...

    I wish I had time to download the patch, it's taking a really long time. I guess I'll try tomorrow if it's still there.

    Hey, could you link in your source please? I just want to be sure it's a joke and not some Cryptic shenanigans..

    might try going to the red shirt folder

    C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Star Trek Online-en\Star Trek Online\Beta

    and clcik on the executable "GameClient.exe"

    the problem might be the launcher isn't recognizing the old client. Don't know if that'll work, but give it a try.

    I honestly want to see the PROOF that the specific part in that announcement says that holodeck is getting shut down a joke.

    Redshirt change has proven true......so far......

    So where or which dev actually said that the Holodeck retiring is the joke?

    Joke would be funnier if holodeck launcher would load.
    the launcher is very slow to load.:mad:

    Presumably, the launcher is slow because errybody is patching 10GB of Darude - Sandstorm.

    Star Trek Online has brought us intense pride! Over the course of its run, we've made leaps and bounds! Today however we put to rest this glorious and sparkling pony! Holodeck is going to be retired. But wait! There's more! We are proud to announce our latest and arguably greatest project to date

    Star Trek Online: Rebirth


    ~MirrorTrendy

    Why rebirth all the time that people has spent time and money and now you are all you are forcing us to throw it all away unless there is a way to transfer your character to redshirt I don't know what i'm going to do unless perfect world is all stupid and wants to loose a lot of business then go right ahead steam has a lot of games and I think that will satisfy me while your business gets shut down.

    But I don't know if I will make a new character if I even restart and that's if I restart and that's asking A LOT of me expecally when I spent about 3 years on STO now and grinding dillithum and stuff to get my reps and all the stuff from my reps to T5 and still working on the reps i'm at T4 8472 and T2 on delta.

    But here is some advice for your business if you want to keep it do a character automatically for everyone playing on STO and I mean EVERYONE I would be pissed if I came back from vacation and found my account gone! and 2 please and I ask please do a lot of testing we do not need all the glitches going on whenever you guys do to the transfer I would like to log on with my main character and find that nothing has even happened.

    Don't have an executable there for some reason...

    just try to patch redshirt, if it fails.. go to options, select force verify then save and it will check the current files in redshirt, then fix it and start to patch it properly.

    I right clicked on my launcher, and in the properties, where it says URL, I added -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com to the end of the line, and the client is re-patching. Hopefully this is the right way.....Trendy mentioned that earlier.


    But as I asked earlier, If Holodeck gets shut down, what happens to all my zen purchases, my anniversary ships that I have gotten, lock box ships, and other things I have paid for? will they still be there, or will they be lost forever? Or is Holodeck retiring actually the joke?

    Hey, there are no patch notes for Redshirt.....lol...oh well. Too bad the chat server isn't connected, at least that is what I am being told by system messages on Redshirt.

    Redshirt - 3% patched. Here I come. Eventually.

    Maybe.

    After patching redshirt:

    Unable to start game client: Windows error code 2 (While attempting to format, received error code 15105.)

    Any Ideas?

    Edit.:
    Nevermind. I needed to restart the launcher. Now patching again - this time a bigger patch;)

    Which launcher am I right clicking on? The Arc launcher? There's nothing that says "URL" anywhere when I right click on it and go to properties.

    Yeah I too am curious as to how long this will be around. With it patching so slow there's a high probability I wont get on tonight, but I really don't want to miss the nostalgic walk down memory lane of asking where Sulu is and no ability to holster weapons.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    Right click the shortcut.
    Go to properties
    Go to the target field.
    Append this at the end: -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com

    And start,
    click Redshirt
    Prepare for giant 10GB patch.

    Just don't lose connection like I did, because it asked me to repatch all 10GB from the start.
    Errr...NO thank you Cryptic. I can do without the nostalgia, it's not worth paying my ISP to go over my bandwidth quota.

    you can also try going to options on the launcher and selecting force verify.. that is working for me, currently at 50% of a 3258MB patch

    Lol, downloaded it all using the command line. Heck, I force verified it. April's fools to everyone. Getting people to download 3GB, not funny.
