Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, September 27th, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 2 hours.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    The Vulcan D'Kyr can now choose V.S.S. registry Name prefix and a VS registry Number prefix.


    Does this also apply to the vulcan shuttle? Are there plans to offer similar options to other ships based on their race?

    I'm not sure, but I can pass that suggestion along in case it's not. We're open to similar options for other ships as long as the prefixes are from the IP.

    Cheers,

    The actual Bridge Officer is, once you open the box it comes in, but you can purchase multiple from the Lobi Store to trade, give to a friend or alt, list on the exchange, etc.

    Brandon are you going to release the cost in Lobi tonight for the new items or do we have to wait till it goes live to find out?

    Thanks

    brandon, can you have them throw in a couple extra buttons on the Exchange for our Space and Ground Warfare Specialists so that we can actually sell the 50 we get from a stack of 150 fleet duty officers?

    Will this fix the bugs in the Khitomer Accord ground map and also others that are experiencing npcs disappearing and reappearing at random?

    • Increased the turn rate of the Aquarius by 1.
    • Increased the Turn rate of the Escort, Escort Refit, Escort Retrofit and Fleet Escort Retrofit by 1.
    May i ask why escorts get a turnrate buff, althrough they already have a very high turn rate. While cruisers still need 45-60 seconds for a full 360 degrees turn?
    Would it have hurt anyone if cruisers would have gotten some degrees more turnrate in general?


    Thank you for reading.

    The Aquarius is the Oddy mini-ship, I can understand why that is getting a buff, but for the escorts? Why!? :confused:

    no mention of the plasma high yield torpedo doing strange things; a romulan bop fires a high yield plasma torpedo, it travels close to you then swaps back on itself apparently going after the ship that fired it and destroying it or other friendly ships. from my end, high yield also playing up with collision detection with it's intended target, not exploding and then sitting there.

    A patch which didn't nerf anything...how disturbing. This is almost certainly a sign of bad things to come. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess. The other shoe surely drops soon.

    Know what would be awesome and I'd love so much? If the KDF Maurader bridge officer were able to be customized.

    Any chance that the random crashing that I (and others) have been experiencing will be fixed in this patch?

    Also any chance that the bug where EC rewards not being awarded for each sector block during the tour the galaxy event will be fixed.

    The second bug I listed isn't so important, but if the first one isn't resolved then this update isn't much use to me if the game can't go more than 20 minutes before it crashes.

    Why is there no fix for the spawn issues on Granalda? If I log out in front of the Exchange, I am back on the Transporter when I log back in. This applies to beaming out for FA's, etc. What about the other half a million bugs that continue to be ignored?

    Just tried Stranded in Space to see what it's currently like. It's worse than I thought. Enemies teleport but so do your Away Team members. Some went back to the ship and the others were completly gone. After a respawn some again teleported to the ship while another 2 teleported into a room full of enemies and died.

    If I was a new player that really would put me off the game. That's the sort of thing I would have fixed in an emergency patch, not aroutine one, as soon as I could as it isn't a far off mission but one of the first a new player will encounter.

    Glad they fixed the pathing on the Klingon missions, I just started one of those, and got stuck a few missions in.

    This was my argument as well.

    I have been unable to level up any additional toons because Stranded is so broken. Sure I could skip it, but I'm just going to sit here and assume that the other missions are equally broken.

    Well i do hope these story missions get sorted sooner rather than later, got a number of chars up to Night of the Comet, and yes i know i could skip them but i choose not to. This particular mission has been bugged ever since i've been playing it which is a while now.

    On another note, the missions you get when exploring nebulas, where you have to land on a planet and scan stuff, or occasionally fight someone, can somebody take a look at these as i constantly find planets where buildings are up in the air and you can walk inside them, i mean really badly placed on landscapes. Sometimes these npcs spawn inside the buildings so you can't actually complete the missions as there's no way in.

    It's like nobody seems to check these things, more a case of code and pray it works...

    Are the Fleet Armoury Doffs getting fixed? They're still classified as tactical instead of security despite the last patch claiming "all was well".

    finally I can get my borg boff thnks to KAG being fixed :) and I can get the sword of kahless on my alts. However since the npc paths have been fixed does this also mean that now my away team won't fall through the barge and die?

    The same can be said for the daily featured "Tour The Galaxy" Mission. It has not paid out properly since I began playing. If you are going to showcase a mission, it should work, lol.

    It's just routine maintenance. During the maintenance the server is down. There is no issue and we should have STO back at the top of the hour.

    Kinda surprised the new, vaunted "Temporal Lockbox" isn't in the patch.
