Tribble is being brought down for maintenance to update it to build ST.50.20150214a.4.
New Feature:
Sector Space Revamp:
Known Issues:
New Feature:
Sector Space Revamp:
- Sector Space has been revamped into three Sector maps:
- Alpha Quadrant
- Beta Quadrant
- Delta Quadrant
- The Alpha and Beta Quadrants are separated by the Traffic Controller contact in the same fashion the previous Sector map transfers functioned.
- The Delta Quadrant can be accessed in the same way through the Gateway in the Jouret System.
- This revamp also includes additions to:
- A different feel of flight through Sector Space.
- An update to make the Astrometics option more useful for players by creating a grid which helps let the player know where they are.
- This option can be shut off with the already existing Enable/Disable Astrometrics button.
- Some system art updates throughout the environment.
- Sector Space specific Duty Officer Missions will still be available.
- The transwarps to these locations will still bring the player to the correct spots to start these Duty Officer missions.
- Foundry missions will have minimal impact.
- If a door in a Foundry mission is connected to an old Sector door, it will be re-directed to the new Sector Space map.
- This is still a work in progress.
- For more details, please visit the Sector Space Revamp blog at: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9078783-sector-space-revamp
Known Issues:
- Sector Space Revamp is not in a final state.
- Some ships when placed into the new Sector Space maps will have the camera placed above or inside their ship.
- Numerous transwarps from missions do not place the player in the correct location.
- Some players with Windows XP OS will experience a graphics related crash.
- Some items are missing for missions and in player inventory.
- These items will be returned once the issue is resolved.
- Foundry is not available at this time.

Please.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.... check this out on the Mac version as well!!!!
THE WALLS have finally come down..
Will be checking this out later tonight!!!!
Kudoz to the dev team!!!
Nearly three gigs with ODP turned on.
I run Win 7 64-bit and loading Tribble crashed my graphics driver. And itself.
I'm cool with that.
Without On Demand, it's 6.622 GB.
But I expect there's a LOT of overwriting.
EDIT: Update. Alright full patched. It only took up an additional 300 MBs, so overall an excellent patch.
I'm wondering what will happen to the Borg sector alerts though? There's a lot of accolades related to those missions and even a title ('This far, no further' if I'm not mistaken?).
I hope these will all still be available.
They will be, DSEs are getting revamped, but will still be there as well.
Other than that, it's looking pretty good so far.
you can manualy reset it with /gfxsetdefaultfov 55 or 0 (55 is the standard they use)
Yep. Good thing is, it still looks great with the default fov.
However, I noticed this affects doff science and exploration missions. Do we have to manually scan for R&D compnents now?
"You seem to have gotten some of your blood in my raktajino. This is unfortunate."
There are flying comets and derelict spaceships (and many other things)now that hide resources in sectorspace
Lol, 2860 Mb patch
Redshirt is up so give it at least a month.
Ah ok thanks.
Been zipping around from one corner of SecSpace and I hain't seen a thing like that. I is so confussed.
"You seem to have gotten some of your blood in my raktajino. This is unfortunate."
This sounds awesome, :eek:
-the travel seems much slower than on holo deck. I'm not sure if travel rates are slower or systems are further apart, but it dragged on to get from place to place.
-it's hard to tell where things are because zooming out does not seem to go far enough
-Sol system only has eight planetary orbits. Pluto is sad.
Every time I cross a sector border the sound effects cuts out. Specifically of the Asynchronous Warp Field.
I haven't tried it on other characters yet, but will the restrictions on entering other faction core space still on? There was no notice when my diplomat character entered Klingon space. It's interesting that warping to a system sends you directly to the star instead of the relevant planet, if that can be tweaked it would be great.
My overall impression though...so beautiful.
They were going off. I didn't enter any of them, but they were there.
That's weird to me it felt faster even without my Transwarp MACO engines. But yes the systems actually are further apart. Closer to their real world distances.
Yeah the max zoom is set closer in. I'm a little sad about that as I want to be able to see more. On the other hand, I like that I can zoom in closer to my beautiful ship.
