    Really can't figure out what they've done to the graphics. On my laptop with Intel(r)HD graphics (which could previously render the game at high detail) I can now only get blurry graphics.

    I don't get it, the graphics don't change, regardless of what I change the graphics and advanced settings to. The HUD/UI elements look totally normal, but the game graphics themselves are just terrible!

    Go to Options: display (tab) resolution to max will (mostly)fix it

    Somehow fixed my CTD problem and got in and played around. Yays!

    Surface Tension is OMG good. Best yet. Seriously.

    Love the new kits, ESD, trait system, all that jazz.

    Not too happy with the new graphics settings. Not sure if I need to just mess with the settings more, but I now get 5 FPS in the Dyson Sphere space zones. Bleh.

    Not too happy with the new Undine Lobi gun being 200 Lobi. Thought it would be a fun gun to mess around with, but not for 200. Do like that the Hirogen Hunter armor is now 50 Lobi though. Is this a new releases are 200 then get bumped down to 50 next season type deal going on now?

    That's not the problem. The problem is that the npc armor isn't longer free as sierra or antares before. At ESD, that's not the odyssey template it's the Fleet Reputation Uniform for the NPCs.
    And the Odyssey template is the c-store jupiter uniform. That's the point.
    Sure both, Sierra and antares, are even not my favorite uniforms since beta, but free standards for optic equality in this game (esd, ship/npcs). And there is no equal uniform in c-store to get the new esd optic uniform touch. the one, of other owned costumes, as starfleet acdemy, isn't the same.
    It's simply inacceptable to get reputations and forced to spend time for an standard game uniform.

    And since beta the dynamic npc uniform rendering, equal as active bridge officers wear, not included yet.
    The current for free or minimum in c-store and fleets get a new one for reputation, ready.


    Your "Fleet Reputation" Uniform is actually the 'Odyssey Template'

    The C-Store Jupiter Uniform is exactly that... the Jupiter Uniform. You can visit your Fleet Starbases Tailor, give him around 16k Dilithium and you can wear the same uniform like the NPC's on ESD I dont see your problem, you dont even need to grind alot as you describe it.

    As for Armor and Kits...

    Everything moved into the Tailor aswell...

    Thanks, but that didn't do it. Fortunately, I found this:

    A few random disconnects, but to be expected on launch of a new season.

    Still getting the blank ship syndrome when spawning again in PvE. :(

    ESD is beautiful and perfect, obviously! :)

    Having the Undine remodel the old ESD map? Brilliant and Prioeless!

    Can we have the old ESD map in the Foundry please? Both the operational and wrecked maps please? :)

    Keep on Trekkin'

    P.S. I take it the Newbie "egg" task shall go away?

    I know the devs put a lot of hard work into the new season, but...sigh.

    Undine Assault is like another breach - remarkably boring.

    I have no intention of doing any of the Undine material from here on out. It was the same way with me and Nukara. Same with Dyson. Just the same thing over and over, and boring as heck.

    I think one of the biggest issues is I know regardless of how well I perform in the instance, I am still gonna walk out with just a few marks and probably nothing else. I remember back in Season 6 when you could still get a very nice MACO drop from borg instances. Then we moved to this grindfest rep system and now all any of us do is farm marks.

    We are just doing the same thing over and over. Season 7 = Season 8 = Season 9.

    The only difference now is the entire community as a whole got a huge nerf with the trait revamp.

    I am just so tired... so tired...of constantly farming marks. I want to actually go into an instance with the hope of coming out with something new. Not just pointless green drops. Even the new gear is just a lateral move to everything else we already have.
    No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    I can't make sense of what I am seeing. I get an image that is heavily distorted with the color washed out. It was doing this on Tribble. Until this is fixed I won't be playing Star Trek Online Cryptic. Good lluck fixing it.
    No sense fearing the inevitable. We all die. It is how we face that death that matters!

    ninja releases? You're serious about that? They've been talking about this release for at least 6 weeks, and it's a ninja release? Right...

    Great job!

    I have a request....

    Can we stop refering to the Undine as Undine and start to use their real name?
    The living Mines. :P

    Last Undine assault I tried about half of the ships moved up to a cozy range of about 1/3 km while I was stuck by those control points that works like gravity wells. Then when they all eventually get blown up my ship eventually got blown up to.

    Trust me, not funny. :mad:

    Surface Tension was awesome, new ESD was awesome, new graphic was awesome for me (my graphic card like the changes) and rework of borg season was awesome. :)

    The rest was pretty much frem meh to WTF! :(
    Why use use the worst of earlier events for the new Undine space events?

    And what in heavens name made you put in boring space content for the grinding of new reputation?
    If you want to put in more grinding at least make it fun and balanced like borg content.

    I love the new esd, but hate the trait changes. Why did anyone think reducing the traits was a good idea?

    I understand we can pick and choose what is active without needing a respec but I'd rather have the old way back for traits.

    It's so that they can release a bunch more traits in reps for each season without blowing up whatever balance is left.
    ...Anyway, yeah, season tweaks and SINGLE new story mission (facepalm) are great, lockbox and rep not so great.

    Our latest content update, Season 9: A New Accord, is now live on Holodeck! Team up with Tuvok against the imminent Undine threat. With a new featured episode, numerous events, upgrades and even a new Earth Spacedock, there's tons for players to explore. Learn about what you can experience in this latest update http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/star-trek-online/detail/3042463

    Check out the full trailer for Season 9: A New Accord here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcNY4a1GL4

    While this will no doubt be considered by some as lowest of the low in problems, I've noticed that in my kdf fleet projects available listing, the limited time project re-run projects are not listed as available, even though the option to run them is going until may.
    Tks

    Hi all,
    managed to login for just 10 minutes before my laptop started melting (it's just damaged, I don't have the good one with me now) and went strait to the tailor with my lethean KDF.

    I just want to THANK WITH ALL MY HEART the devs for allowing kit parts and armour as costumes, I can now FINALLY display armor and even customize a DARN GOOD, realistic and immersive battlesuit with equipment pieces etc. for my KDF characters! :D

    It is something I craved since I started playing this game!!!! I am sooooooo happy to be able to finally dump those idiotic and horrible canon-related pieces of junk that somebody from the Show, on acid, back in the 80s dared call "armour" for Klingons and the like.

    By the way, why in the world this huge revolution on appearance hasn't been mentioned in any interviews/posts I've read??
    THANK YOU, can't wait to play the new content as well, obviously.

    See you all in game! --->happy person<--- :)

    Borg STF.......you know you will face a fixed number of enemy ships...how well you and the team does is your time limit...very fun content the numbers playing prove it time and again

    this new undine content.....mind numbing respawns of weak cannon fodder making the content super long with extreamly poor rewards for so much time invested

    Cut the number of undine by 76% and make them stronger..and for petes sake put better rewards out there 240 dilithium.................Seriously ?

    and the space battlezone cut the end rewards by 75% and put that into the zones where it should be at
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    So, why is it that now you do not get all the rewards for a reputation daily or hourly until you complete another one and it starts the countdown again?

    Everytime I complete my hourly Omega, I get the Dil the second i click Collect Rewards, but nor reward box until I have contributed everything and it's counting down.

    This sucks.

    I'm just starting my Dyson rep, ... and can't collect me reward packs until I earn enough points to complete another daily and hourly? ?

    Did I miss a memo or something?

    The reward box is given for starting a project. At the end you get the dilithium.
