    Hm, seems like the problems that have been affecting Tactical Escorts and Birds-of-Prey since the T6 Escort Pack was released haven't even made "Known Issues" yet...

    I'm hoping this fix unnlocks my tour of duty assignment chain once again. Both chains are locked at 10/10. I didn't yet complete all 10 missions, nor did I receive any rewards on this char.

    Very nice patch !!
  • adorkabledoriadorkabledori Member Posts: 237 Arc User
    And none of you have already noticed since a couple of months that the Kar'fi and Breen Plesh Raiders ain't rendered well/not/not correct. I should not have to mentioned it, if you guys would play the game from time to time.

    My Admiralty skipped up from 8/10 to 10/10 when I completed 9/10 on the Fed... and I didn't receive any specialization points either.

    Now I don't mind not getting the reward for only doing 9 out of 10 of the tour... but I do mind not being able to do 10/10 in order to attain it legitimately.

    Breen Player Chel Gretts and NPC Chel Gretts are not fully rendering either.

    Even worse. Have you been to Vulcan lately. It's now like someone unleashed a bunch of toddlers on that planet with each a big marker in their hands. Texture is gone and a grid is drawn over the surface.

    Proof that it was a custom planet built by the Magratheans! Where's Slartibartfast when you need him... :)

    No mention of anything regarding MAC Client does this mean it has been fixed ? or is still an ongoing issue ?, that just wasn't included in these patch notes as there's a lot things happening with this patch.

    It's even been removed from the 'known issues', almost like it isn't a problem anymore!

    Hopefully. I know i can now login using it but as i've heard nothing official i'm a bit wary to run it.

    Nothing about the loads times at DS9? Nothing. Guess its not an issue?
    Positive thoughts.

    They've been broken since season 10 started. They're just more broken now.

    Most successful expansion ever, and the players love it! ;)

    I think my universal translator went off-line for a moment because that sentence makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    What do you mean? Yes again, because maintenance happens every single bloody Thursday around this time give or taken an hour or so at both ends. If you're not used to it by now I suggest you acclimate fast, it's not likely to change.

    Patch Notes wrote:
    Updated player power ground warning indicators like Grenades, Mortars, etc.
    Power indicators that hurt are red.
    Power indicators that won't affect the player are grey.

    This is nice...pretty much what I requested for the Iconian kit powers. :)


    Also, interesting that small craft are now available for Admiralty. Having a few more options is always good for us non-ship hoarders. ;)

    Let me just remind some of the folks here that the Known Issues section is not a reliable, "everything Cryptic knows is wrong with the game!" section. See. how the bug fixes in this update were mostly not foreshadowed in the last one. Ditto that update, and the one before that, and the one before that, ect., ect., ect.

    So - wasnt the MVAM supposed to be +20 to Eng/Sci, but was only giving 15? If so, they simply changed the card....so its now "fixed"?

    Or do I have that wrong.

    Also...NOTHING has been said about the rarity issues with doffing. If it isnt a bug, its a nerf. Whats the deal?

    Hello,

    I was wondering if we could expect any new Federation, Klingon or Romulan bridges? Specifically I would like to see Bridges like;

    1. The USS Enterprise Refit from Star Trek movies II, III and the USS. Enterprise NCC-1701-A Briefly seen in Star Trek IV and the Bridge seen in Star Trek VI.
    2. USS. Reliant Bridge (NCC-1864) From Star Trek II
    3. Klingon Battlecruiser IKS. Amar from Star Trek the Motion Picture
    4. The Romulan Bird of Prey Bridge from the TOS Episode "Balance of Terror"
    5. The Romulan Warbird Bridge seen in TNG Episodes, "Face of the Enemy" and "Redemption"
    6. The Bridge of the USS. Excelsior (NCC-2000) as seen in Star Trek VI and in the ST: Voyager Episode "Flash back"
    7. An actual bridge set (Crew Deck, 10 Forward, main Engineering, Cargo/Shuttle bay, Sickbay, Captain's ready room and Observation Lounge) from Star Trek the Next Generation


    As for changes to current bridges I would like to Suggest:

    1. Reduction in scale of the Current Galaxy class Bridge Sets, The are all far to large and open. (The look is fine they are just too spread out)
    2. Revamp of the Interior Corridors (Again these are all way to wide and expansive It feels as if you are walking through a Cathedral)
    3. Using the Interior Corridors from the beginning Training Missions with the Origin bridge as a bridge set
    4. The Option to have all bridges and Corridors on ships empty

    I the reason I bring these ideas up is simple, You can make a pretty good amount of money for the game from Die hard RPers and Trekkies by having these bridges added to Your line up. You could even bundle the Enterprise Bridges (From Star Trek II-VI) with a revamped Model of the Constitution class refit into a higher Tiered ship.

    Thanks for reading, (though I think this will fall on deaf ears because the developers are more intent on writing off the wall missions and adding new content instead of reworking and fixing the older Content. )

    I'm almost certain that's a problem with server load. Basically, you're waiting to get in (because DS9 and ESD tend to be very popular during peak hours), not for the map to run through the technical aspects of loading. Try during off-peak hours (US) and if you have the same problem file an in-game bug report (lately seems that's what they pay the most attention to.)

    Still no fix to the Headless Herald Armor bug? It was fun for Halloween, but not anymore.

    Cluster colonisation chain assignments (but not ones unlocked by a chain) seem to have disappeared too although it's a bit difficult to tell what they are now from the game engine's perspective.
