My day with STO...

Well, I had a day off today and thought I would enjoy some Star Trek action on Xbox. Here's how it went...

1. Check the Microsoft store on XBOX for the free pistols we were promised awhile back but then the date was changed to 3/16. Today is 3/17 and still they are not in the XBOX store and no word on why.

Ok, well I'm not going to complain about a free gift. I'm sure they will get it out at some point...

2. Log in to the game and hail Q for the Omega event and yet again the mission only gives two locations. You can't complete it without three locations. This bug happens almost every other day and has been a part of the Omega event for years without ever being fixed.

Alright well that is really annoying but there are other things I can do to get the event progress. I have an endeavor for space plasma damage so let me swap to my plasma damage ship and do a queue.

3. After completing the queue, I switch back to my main ship and all my traits, experimental trait slot AND crew stations are reset. Wow that's annoying. So I re-select all my traits and rearrange all my boffs and re slot all their boff abilities as best I can remember BUT... nothing stays how I set it. Every time I leave the screen the game moves all my boffs around again and the experimental trait literally disappears from the screen. I try to re-do everything AGAIN and AGAIN nothing stays set.

Ok, so looks like my main is absolutely unplayable if the crew stations won't stay where I put them. So much for layouts. How about I switch over to my new KDF recruit and work on that 2,500 ambush kills. Not much fun but I'm running out of options here.

4. First patrol that I try to do, I get stuck in permanent cloak. Can't decloak no matter what I do. I know PC has some tricks to break out of this bug but nothing works on console. Really hard to get 2,500 ambush kills when your ship refuses to de-cloak.

The battle cloak failure to de-cloak is another bug that has been around for years on console and the devs apparently have no desire or ability to fix. Everything I tried to do today was broken and most of it is stuff that has been broken for a long time with no hope of being fixed.

I know the people who make this game work hard and I really hate complaining without also acknowledging the good things but the same bugs just keep adding up, year after year and never get fixed or addressed. A game should be fun. Today was nothing but frustration. I'm so sad that this is the only Star Trek game out there.

    As per my email.....see above.
    "You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    It really sucks that you had such a bad time today. I have had those days, but not in some time. I hope the next time you get to play, you have a better time.

    Are you saving loadouts for each ship, while on a space map? If you do it on a space map (not ground map) then crew stations should be saved too. Traits were not included in loadouts last time I checked though that would be nice.
