    i have absolutely no ability to interact with any buttons on the character select screen. i used one of my kdf last on tribble, so as it gets to the title screen it starts with the fed coloring, then tweaks to the kdf coloring. and nothing works. might have something to do with it switching to the kdf coloring. also the mouse curser does not look like the sto curser, just looks like it does on the desktop.

    i also cant transfer any characters to tribble ether. maybe this would correct if all my characters on tribble got wiped? i don't think i can from here, but if you guys could maybe it wold start working

    So upon first logging into Tribble you had this problem where your mouse didn't work at all to click on things? Is that accurate?

    I see updates to the chat system but still nothing about the bug where you can't see half the chat at all to begin with!! Ongoing since the start of S7...

    I seem to not be able to select from custom chat channels when trying to select a chat channel in the original chat window. In new ones, I can't select *any* channels. Known bug?

    yes. i was never able to click on anything

    this is what i see http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/578984944716498225/31431595D33A86BF9E214C423F3BE23C9099309A/

    the second character, a fed, didnt seem to fully load ether. the character might be buging everything out, wiping my tribble characters @dontdrunkimshoot would be appreciated. it fails when i try to transfer any of my 5 characters too

    On the character creator the option to change the head appearance was a bit wonky. some seem to change, some did not. the randomize button at the top did not seem to do anything to the appearance. the changes to costume for example was much better. possible it was a slight lag issue with lots of people. I'll check in more detail tomorrow.

    the background ship on the character creator is cool. ive wanted that for a while but some of the ships are too big. the bortasq for example only has about half on screen.

    the new UI i pretty much love. The actual HUD menu with the powers in space i am a little less certain off. I actually preferred the old way but I imagine that will just take a bit of getting used to.

    This fab! Especially love the removal of USS from an NX class - could we also have the registry reduced to 2 digits? :D Would be fabulous!

    PLEASE CRYPTIC - can you add like a MACO pack type thing? Which gives you the Phase Pistol; MACO Rifle; and MACO uniforms from Enterprise?? Maybe even through in phase cannons? That would be fabulous! I, among many others I know within {UFP}, would certainly buy that! Would be amazing, and it is a, relatively, small thing to add :D

    Cheers guys, keep up the great work!

    Ahh. I'm guessing it was the original plan early on when developing the Legacy of Romulus content. Guess it needs updating then.;)

    Nope; they were always starting at level 1. :) Like Klingons ATM, they are disabled in character creation, so it's using an outdated tooltip, as flyingtarg mentioned.

    Cheers,

    I do really like the pop ups when you want to change zone or talk to someone. they are nice.

    going into combat on the ground changes the power tray colour which was very nice.

    i love that in the character creator you get a better look of a uniform option, and in the character sheets you can rotate your characters and ships around. All that is fantastic.

    the main character select page though looks a bit barren with your character floating in limbo. i think i preferred the bridge, but i guess that would make the ship above look out of place, unless you make that look like a holo projection?

    I am a little less convinced with the starabase project contribution screens. i cant put my finger on it but it does not look as nice. its quite a minimalistic UI and something irks me there with the set up.

    I have the same problem but my charactor is fed, so it isnt only just a kdf problem, None of the buttons are pushable and my curser looks like the curser from my desktop

    They could fill up that space with like earth space dock for fed, and different space docks for each... with your character and a window with your ship in it.

    Well, for now I like the old UI better, but I'm sure gonna get used to the new one.

    However, it seems to me unnecessarily bulky with space wasted and then too crammed writing, icons (anything you actually want to see).

    It's funny how the chat window (along with other previously opened windows) only appears when you click somewhere, after you change maps.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    The new bridge crew tab now hides the power tray because there's a huge black space after my last BO powers. I have to move the bridge crew up. Why? Do we really have to buy a 27' screen to play STO? :(

    [*]Captains can now choose to remove the "U.S.S./I.K.S" prefix from certain starships and shuttles in the Rename Starship interface.
    • This option is available for the following ships:
      • Class F Shuttle
      • Ferengi Shuttle
      • Peregrine Fighter
      • Vulcan Tal'Kyr Shuttle
      • Caitian Stalker Fighter
      • Tholian Fighter
      • Aeon Time Shuttle
      • Rozhenko Time Shuttle
      • Toron Shuttle
      • Type 8 Shuttle
      • NX Class starship

    why no Delta Shuttle?


    the UI looks like a preety early WIP, but the thing that I'm concerned about is no fix for the Maco Elite Accolade

    UI Feedback -

    - I EXTREMELY DISLIKE not being able to spin my character during the "Race & Class" section of the character creator. You ought to be able to spin the character from any point when making a character to observe it properly. Please do not take any bad ideas from Neverwinter. :confused:

    - There seemed to be in-continuity to picking faces / hair in the character creator's basic editor. If you merely hover over a face, you see a preview of it actually on the model before selection. But, if you try to hover over hair ... nothing happens. You need to actually SELECT hair to see it. Why is this? This seems unusual and inconsistent with how the other column works.

    - I feel like if I open up the advanced character creation options, the basic character creation options (by that I mean the columns holding pictures of people's faces and hair and what have you) ought to go away. I don't need them. I'm not using them. The only thing they serve to do while I'm in the advanced option is obstruct the view of my characters shoulders and arms which I find kind of annoying. The UI is good but the basic mode makes it feel very cramped around my character. I understand if that's necessary, but in the advanced section? It's really not necessary at all.

    - Hovering over the buttons next to "Torso Scaling Options" in the advanced editor yields messages such as "Reset All Values of Head" and "Randomize All Values of Head". The randomize value buttons don't work, and dragging the sliders around didn't work either: the values wouldn't "stick". The only way they'd stay in place is if I use the arrows to adjust them. Likewise, hovering over the buttons next to "Arms and Hands Scaling Options" yeilds "Reset All Values for Base Complexion" which I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with, and also next to "Lower Body Scaling Options" the button tool tips read "Reset All Values of Earrings". ... huh.

    - After picking a basic head for the Alien part of the character creator, and then trying to select pieces from the advanced section, none of my selections would stick.

    - Where's the save/load costume button? I need a save/load costume button please. Please. Please please please or RAAAGGE.

    Inside the Game

    OH MY GOD UI IS AMAZING OMAHADGFHGHSDGHGHHJSK!

    I can really find no complaints here. Granted I haven't delved into the chat system yet but ... everything else looks great. :)

    EDIT >

    If your bridge officer pops up in space, he should have a bulkhead or technical screen behind him, not look like he's in the viewscreen. That's the ONLY critique I can find!

    Hey, having a weird issue.

    My macros don't work. I don't have the benefit of a gaming keyboard, so I'm using software to activate certain abilities in certain sequences (something that STO's default keybind option can't do).

    So for instance, when I hit the 2 key, my program uses control send to activate the powers in the second column (number 0, by the keybind settings) starting at the row 0, then row 1, then row 2. This way I can activate my tactical buffs in sequence rather than having to button mash, like I did back when I had the default keybinds.

    However with the new tribble patch, while I can confirm that the program is sending the commands to the game (it'll type in the chat box when I have it selected), when I don't have the chatbox selected.... nothing. Not even that error/can't activate noise, so I'm wondering if you guys did something to disable or limit macro functionality.


    Again, as I lack a fancy keyboard, if this is intentional it really seems to me like yet another "Well you should go out and spend 300$ on a keyboard if you don't want to button mash all day" sort of thing, which is IMO kind of elitist. I don't have 300$ to spend on a fancy keyboard.

    By the way, the new "nukara strikeforce" reputation is up on tribble. You may get there and see the placeholders and plans. :D

    When I try to copy any of my characters to Tribble, I get the error "Character transfer failed. Please try again later." I'm able to copy characters to Redshirt just fine and I've tested on Tribble in the past, is this just an issue of too many people trying at the same time?

    edit: works now

    I'm not tech support or anything, so don't assume this will fix your mouse woes, but I'm gonna try a few suggestions anyway...

    1) Do you guys launch the game in Admin mode?

    2) What happens if you try Alt-Tabbing to your desktop (or another program) and then tabbing back to STO?

    3) How about Alt-Enter?

    Any of those help at all?

    The patch notes list the following:
    • Creating new Klingon characters has been temporarily disabled.
      • This includes the Create Content character creation.

    Romulan gameplay is also not available at this time per this post: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=595951

    If you read the patch notes - they state KDF and Romulan character creation on Tribble is currently disabled.

    admin mode? never heard of that. i did alt tabing back and forth, ending the game process was the only way to quit the game because not even the back button worked. the curser is the same as desktop, its not changeing to the one you are supposed to have in game. alt enter did nothing.

    its like something else is layered over the character select screen, and i cant get past it no mater what i try. is there a file for the entire tribble patch i could find and delete so it could re download? maybe that would help.

    one of my characters, and a few in that other guy's picture didn't load right. maybe they are bugged, and deleting them would fix this? forum handle and character handle are the same for me
