Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, July 11th, 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 last for 3 hours. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

UPDATE (7/11 @ 9:37am): We're going to extend our maintenance window by 30 minutes. Our goal is to have you back in-game by 10:30am PDT (53 minutes from now).

    Better check the update thread, the patch on tribble is making the problem worse.

    Mail is separated by shard now (e.g. Holodeck, Tribble), so you shouldn't see your (new) Holodeck mail on Tribble, and vice versa. I think that seems to be what is causing the confusion with those looking on Tribble.

    Cheers,

    OK, so maybe I misunderstand how the tribble test is supposed to confirm the mail fix works, are there any tribble testers that have had mail go missing because of the new attachment limits ?

    I didn't see any posts in the tribble patch thread confirming their missing tribble attachments got returned back to the mail, only the one guy who found 'bonus' stuff in his inventory. If ITEMS are being returned to players inventorys, how does it work if the inventory is already max capacity before the patch returns them ?

    My guess would be the inventory overflow container is going to get flooded.

    Of bigger concern is how doffs will be handled, as to my knowledge there is no overflow mechanic for them.

    I agree, because returning stuff thru the mail as originally planned could either circumvent the new limit, or cryptic will once again be holding our mail hostage until we free up attachment space in the new system. Either way an overflow bag with possibly hundreds or thousands of items in it may cause new issues, and allows a new way to 'game' the system.

    Will the mail fix also restore missing mails that did NOT have any attachments?

    Great finally a fix to the TOS uniform pallete, thanks. I didn't see the clipping issues the uniform has in the notes, hopefully that gets fixed next.

    I may be mis-remembering this, but wasn't there a server-breaking issue not so long ago that had to do with the overflow bag? It was the reason the weapons in Colliseum were made unsellable...

    If so, that really doesn't bode well for tomorrow.

    * Items that were attached to in-game mail that were lost should now be back in your mailbox.
    * The TOS Romulan uniforms should now allow proper tinting for all pieces and color palates for all items should now match each other.
    * Completing Rank 5 of the Nukara Reputation now directs the character to report to the Nukara base camp, where the commander will provide a significant reward.
    Thanks for your efforts on these particular updates. The latter only affects (so far) one of my toons, but I look forward to the "significant reward" on others in the coming weeks. If you guys have actually/satisfactorily fixed the first two items, you've just sold a TNG Romulan Costume set. :D

    That being said, I have to echo the concerns being raised by LordMalak1 and Stirling191. Can we please get an official Dev Response explaining what exactly this fix does, what we should expect, when/how we get our items back, etc. It would be ideal if that post also OFFICIALLY acknowledged the new 100-item Mailbox limit and gave some explaination on the thought process behind it, and why it was released stealthily.

    Thank you.

    How about a fix for the people with lockbox ships who are not allowed to purchase the hangar pets and weapons that go with their ship? Is that being looked into yet? My friends have bug reports in, but I'm not seeing anything in the patch notes about it, unless I missed it...

    Also, I checked my Tribble mail - there were mails with items returned from the Exchange in there, (accompanied by the annoying duplicate mail with no item attached). These were return mails from Holodeck, which were in my mail when I copied the character. I have never mailed myself anything from Tribble. I posted longer explanation in the Tribble Patch Notes thread

    Bottom line - I can't verify player-to-player item attachments on Tribble, due to not having sent any items on Tribble. But, I thought all my mail, including those with attachments, existed on Tribble when I made the copy. If that is correct, then nothing was returned to me.

    No, they lost all the messages. Only the items remained because they were in a separate database. See the thread referenced in my sig for the ongoing saga & details :)

    • The Captain's Table will now properly gate access based on veteran or lifetime status.

    Does this mean the CT will start becoming useful again? How's about adding a deep discount commodity/device vendor for rep stuff? Or a vendor that sells dual-use ship devices? That would drive traffic up!

    Please don't restore my mail. I had thousands of exchange mail and it would cause major lag and cause my screen to constantly start flickering black. I don't care about the items I lost, they were worth the sacrifice. That glitch was the best thing to ever happen to me :(

    The buff as it is currently now only applies when you are out of combat - as soon as you jump into combat, the buff disappears till you leave combat
