Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Monday, January 28th, at 7AM PST (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. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    A Monday patch? Fascinating.

    Why no release notes? Is it just maintenance only?

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Probably the nerfs to the game that HippieJohn and friends wanted.

    Edit: Tomorrow's patch has nothing to do with the Foundry. -Brandon
    Leave nerfing to the professionals.

    You are all wrong.

    So very very wrong.


    They are increasing the lockbox drop-rate. It's currently set too low and people are actually HAPPY with the game.

    :cool:

    Patch Notes:


    **Changed one line of code, broke 14 things. Attempted to repair those things, ended up accidentally nerfing all science abilities. Tried to fix that, made cruisers even more useless. I officially give up and resign as programmer.

    **Detected unusually high levels of customer satisfaction and alarmingly low Zen-Key sales... buffed lockbox drop-rates. Borg ships will now fire High Yield Lockbox Torpedos that fill player inventories with stacks of 250 lockboxes per hit.

    **Buffed purpleness of Jem'Hadar space gear by 22%.

    **Disabled Borg Plasma Torpedo in favor of Lockbox Torpedo (see above). Set random timer that causes one ship to explode at random every 47.2 seconds.

    **Installed grammar-checker and spell-checker in Foundry.

    **Changed all tool-tips over to British Spelling for that extra bit of colourful humour.

    **Decreased Romulan FE cutscene frame-rate by 33% and adjusted texture positions. This will address concerns that The 2800 FE cutscenes are of lesser quality.

    **Had time left over, adjusted font kerning again.

    **Banned themarie from the forum and permamuted her in game, for great justice.

    Where do you come up with this stuff? :eek:

    I'd actually love a spell-checker in the Foundry. And a High Yield Lockbox Torpedo would be awesome to use in PvP. :D

    Its not hard, I've worked in technical positions all my life, and I've got the gift they call "lightening wit." One hilarious flash and I've ruined everything... That's why they won't let me work directly with the customers anymore. :D

    Opened up my Dread Carrier on the same toon with the JHAS because of the JHAS pet and the additional stuff for JHAS.

    JHAS pet is slow and weak....

    JHAS skin is... PURPLE.

    If I knew that was the total benefit of having Carrier on same toon as JHAS then I would have put it on a different toon.... Just not likely to use it alot on a TAC Captain (too slow).

    If I had to guess, the Neural Neutralizer power and an associated doff which buffs it in an unintended way will be receiving a minor emergency change.

    -And, any word on the 50 lobi for those of us (Myself included) who bought it at the 200 price?

    Cheers.
