    As a newbie, can someone tell me how you log in on the test server, and how you copy a character to it...or, is there a webpage or forum message that explains it?

    Patch notes continued;

    Fixed PvP balance: KDF Level cap now set to 40
    All Fleet projects (Starbase and Embassy) now require Lock Box Keys and Dilithium only to complete.
    Lobi crystals are now bound to account as opposed to bound to character, but will expire in 24 hours if not used.
    Fleet ships now cost 8 Fleet ship Modules and 400,000 Dilithium.
    3 new Federation ships added, 6 KDF ships removed.
    All KDF boots now have spikes.
    Any zone, fleet, local, or private chat now de-cloaks all ships on the server.
    Beaming to First City no longer sends you to the Shipyard, sends you to Drozna station instead.
    Lockbox drop rate now increased by a factor of 200.
    Fixed invisible Borg torpedoes: All Borg weapons now invisible.
    Fixed framerate due to balloons: FPS now locked at 5 FPS.

    Made me chuckle.. If Carlsberg made patch notes...oh no wait strike that, reverse it.

    If i remember correctly the character copy can only be done when both tribble and holodeck are up.

    i'll see if i can find a link on how to copy and access for you, for another time

    Or, Click on "My Account", under Profile, choose Character Copy. Even though it says may take a couple of hours, it's usually available right away. With the server issues atm, no guarantees. :)

    brandon, you are the frackin' man for reading all this BS and not going completely postal (yes, this is mild in comparison). Frankly, I don't know how you can do your job from day in to day out. You have the patience of an angel. or a demon. they both tend to wait around a lot I guess. still, props :)

    Well, does "General server stability improvements." mean only that you turned off all the new party poppers?!?
    Or are you testing your internet-connection again? I'll run a tracert, just to be sure...

    Yeah, just two hours ... like yesterdays "two" hours?

    Or the other days of this week? Is two hours off a day going to be common? Would be nice to know.

    I like this game and spend more then enough money by now, but this maintenance downtimes every day are going to annoy me...

    stupid question: is there anything time limited going on with the event? (i think i've heard that the Ambassador is only around for 2 days or something like that? or am i way off here?)

    because with all the downtime and lag... any such timelimit REALLY should be extended
    could barely play yesterday and today i want to start and surprise its down again!

    oh well maybe tomorrow then

    Please provide a little more warning for these maintenance events. I live in PST and I set my alarm early so I can wake up and update my progress towards the Omega and Romulan reputation systems. I was prepared for the 31st's maintenance, as I set my alarm for 6:25 so I could knock out the queues. I wake up today, and maintenance has already started. Please stick with a standard maintenance time.

    Yeah, it's like 2 weeks. And takes about 30 minutes to do the mission. And the ship isn't really worth it.

    You think you're having it bad, for us Europeans it's right across the middle of the day, and well into the evening. Worse still, when they're down for more than two hours (which is common), then you're looking at days when playing at all is impossible.

    I played all night and not once did I lag from balloons, my computer if far from new but are some of you people on a 486dx? Not sure how you play the game at all, STFs must be a slide show!

    So this is the 3 year anniversary and this week. Monday maintenance ok fine. Thursday normal maintenance ok. But now again today after extended maintenance yesterday? Add to that those of us who got the shaft with the launcher issue this week. And got the shaft again while the launcher was being tested the next day. I can't say its been a week I am all that happy with STO.

    Im in a Fleet and 1 of the members spends no money at all on this game, so the ship was a blessing to him. It truly is a support ship, and that is just what he does with it in Elite STF's. We did them got the optionals. It is worth it if its put into teamwork.
