Greetings!
Update ST.1.20100420a.14
Today's update is a hotfix to address some issues in the Season 1.1 update that were released on Thursday. We are releasing this ASAP as we feel the PVP issue is critical enough to warrent a weekend update (vs waiting till next week). We've also included a few other fixes that were available and ready to go out.
Updates
* PVP missions were not tracking mission completion properly and so you were no longer getting credit for completing a match. This is fixed now.
* Space PVP Assault maps were not tracking score properly and would sometimes end after 3 points instead of the intended 30 points. This is fixed now which should make these PVP maps playable again.
* Injury Pack vendors now allows for bulk purchases. Also the word "ea" is shown after the price to be clear that the price is per item.
* We've increased the chances that you'll find more "Aid the Planet" missions in Star Clusters. It is still random and rare, but previously after completing one, there was a cooldown timer before you could get another one, and that timer has been reduced.
* We've fixed an issue where DPS and Bind stats on Mark Store tooltips was displaying crazy numbers. Those tooltips should now be based on the actual item and correct.
* Fixed an issue where you could get in a bad respec state if you attempted to rank down some skills.
* The Pakled species traits have been updated and now properly show their traits in status windows.
* Addressed an animation issue where you would sometimes "slide" if you were firing a weapon and rolling at the same time.
* Mark vendor stores had inadvertantly replaced the Anti-proton gear substore with ground gear. This has been fixed and Anti-Proton gear is now available again.
* Fixed several client crashes that were introduced in the last update.

DP is optional not forced. And aiding planets is not Star Trek? hrrrmmm
i was going to say something but you seam to have summed up my thoughts
The only thing anyone should learn about that is Cryptic love to name drop CBS whenever they have a production delay.
Think about it. CBS had a problem with the Nomad. Okay.
So, Cryptic put in the Maelstrom in it's place. Err... wait, if the Maelstrom was ready and approved, why was it behind the Nomad in the schedule to be put in? Why wasn't it released before or slated for the same day?
Oops!
I have to agree. I find a lot of Cryptic's designs more attractive than the Big Nose era of Ships that Voyager brought us (Intrepid, Prometheus)
first you complain that they increase the amount that the Relief Efforts will happen?
then you say the game is not Trek enough.
first let me say "d'oh"
the one thing starfleet is doing in this game that is not, i quote "Starfleet rogue's gallery" are the relief efforts, now you complain about that?
also you are wrong from the start, they actually introduced a Cooldown Timer somewhere in the last patches and now since people WANT to try those missions again (because they upgraded them) they dont get any because of that cooldown.... they lowered that cooldown timer, that's all.
There was none before 1.1 you still will get a lot less. No 3 Relief Efforts in a row anymore (assuming it works as intended.)
because they were probably sent as a bundle and CBS vetoed the nomad but allowed the maelstrom "as is". The schedule was made up before any of the ships was finished and delays happen, especially when you have a few extra steps when having to get all things approved by CBS.
I know you just didn't think hard enough
My problem is that I think. I don't take the CBS defense at face value. You should try it some time.
Yeah, the death penalty is forced. If you don't use it, you don't get the "good" drops.
Yes, Aid the Planet is not Trek. Forking over a collection of parts to get a gift is not diplomacy.
You guys might be fooled by the gimmicks, but you know what STO should stand for?

it's rather because people would call shenanigans if cryptic would Drop 6 C-Store Ships for 6x 160 c-points at once. C-Store should not be to expensive to keep up or it does more bad for their reputation then good for their bank account.
I think he's complaining that the cost to buy the needed items went up, not the frequency of the missions.
Not sure though.
- so you want the items we are going to NEED to beat Elite on the Brain-AFK mode?
- Yes Aid the Planet is the most Federation thing that is in the game, and the "gift" is only a reason to not Warp Out of the instance. It still delivers that warm fuzzy feeling that you delivered 20 Entertainment Provisions to those Nerds in Need with to few Xboxes for the big Halo 250 Release next Week! (yes that actually happened, to me!)
I think your problem is that you'd rather believe in a conspiracy theory of your own devising then look at what most likely is the case. The simplest solution to the problem. You, my friend, do not think. Your paranoid that Cryptic is just trying to rip you off. The odd part is your not entitled to even get the content being developed now. if they wanted to be real jerks about it they could make a ton of content and make you go buy an expansion in a year, with no additional content in between. They don't and so your messed up logic fails.
Still missing the target...like a poor marksman.
I don't care about the drops at all. Items are meaningless. Star Trek is not about Phasers, Starships, or technology...it's about the people and the mission.
My god if you don't know that why did you ever start playing this game in the first place? That's why I did and I keep hoping it will turn into a true representation of Trek, but the joy I see in the dev's announcements at the drivel being dished out is dashing all my hopes.
You dont have anything forced on you because you dont have to use the difficulty slider. Lying doesnt help your argument.
Conspiracy theory? What conspiracy? All it is, is a bunch of assumptions and a couple of lies.
CBS being name dropped is a convenient lie to justify delays for Cryptic, and a convenient excuse for apologists.
So a conspiracy? Nope. A conspiracy requires actual thought.
Again, if CBS were half as stringent as Cryptic would have us believe, there would be no Klingon Joined Trills. Don't even bother debating this. It violates canon. The end.
Now, I can agree that STO is not like most of the 726 ST episodes but certainly not all of them. It's really the "Yesterday's Enterprise" version of the universe. You remember that episode? It's the one with the Enterprise C and history getting changed. It's the one where the Federation is losing the war against the Klingons. And there's a lot of the Cardassian War darkness from DS9. And there's the Borg and Undine darkness threats from Voyager. You getting the idea here? Many of the 726 episodes of Star Trek are about some pretty dark things whether you saw them or not.
Sounds like a pretty sad attempte at a lost mind trying to grasp reality, but seeing deceit around every corner, to me. I see some lies on your part.
I'm sure CBS and cryptic are fully aware of the supposed canon violation. it doesn't stop anyone from making it canon. Nor is STO hard canon, so it doesn't impact the universe of ST on the whole. Go whine somewhere else.
Now for the conspiracy part.
What most likely happened: cryptic bundled the ships and turned them all in for approval at the same time and CBS nixed one ship (twice)
or
Cryptic lies to its customers because lying gets small businesses like them everywhere.
i go with mine as most likely.
Ah yes, veiled flaming when you've lost the argument.
Concession accepted.
If STO is irrelevant in canon, why have CBS oversight over minutae like details on new ship variant (not new class) designs.
Oops, looks like you tripped on your own argument there, that must've hurt!
or
CBS is a convenient scapegoat for delays and mistakes.
Do at least try not to be so narrow-minded.
just because trill is part of the federation does not mean that individual trills cant join the klingons
we have seen bad humans from time to time. it does not violate canon in any way
by this logic worf violates canon for the entire run of tng, half of ds9 and 4 films
