Tried to write in all caps, but the forums didn't like that. XD
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

OMG! Finally, FINALLY!!! Wow, this is all so much WIN!!!!
(Especially love being able to turn in 100 Marks for 1 Elite Mark. My Alts will LOVE you!!!)
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
WOO HOO!!!
. . . and the "Elite Mark" will give us what, exactly ??
The 5% to 10%...is just for Ground or both Ground and Space?
Just ground.

Elite marks are the Borg neural processors and each rep's equivalent.

Yes, it was supposed to, but it's been bugged for a long time. Recently (finally!) one of the Devs (Bort, I think) noticed a(nother) thread about it and found that the RMC was fixing all the offline subsystems except Weapons. For some reason that portion of the RMC's ability was bugged. This patch squishes that bug.

It already worked for Engines, Shields and Aux Offline, but was not working correctly to cleanse Weapons Offline.

Thanks, Bort.
- Camera feels like zooming in/out at will while traveling through Sector Space
- DS9 is scaled HUGE in Sector Space, dwarfing the entire Bajor System
Flying around the new Sector Space, it appears that DS9, Drozana and K-7 are the only stations which are currently scaled incorrectly on the Sector Space map.
Deep Space K-7: Big, but has no surrounding system for scale comparison. Looks okay.
Deep Space Nine: HUGE, dwarves the entire surrounding Bajor system.
Drozana Station: Big, but has no surrounding system for scale comparison. Looks okay.
Earth Spacedock: Non-existent in Sector Space.
Federation Fleet Starbase: Looks okay.
Ganalda Station: Non-existent in Sector Space.
Klingon Fleet Starbase: Looks okay.
Starbase 39-Sierra: Small. Looks okay.
DS9 is the only major offender in terms of scale. K-7 and Drozana are large, but as they have no surrounding systems, their sizes are acceptable. Starbase 39-Sierra is pretty small on the map, but looks okay given it's located next to a moon.
Either the stations should be re-scaled to 39-Sierra size, or made non-existent (like ESD/Ganalda). Would definitely suggest someone look into the scaling issues before this goes live.
Edit: Sorry for bugging you (no pun intended), but did you guys manage to finally fix KDF winter scarves? They still aren't available for off duty wear. I reported it back in December and a dev posted in the thread that the issue was verified.
Am I reading this wrong, or did you get it backwards? I think you're trying to say that you've fixed this problem:
If you've actually fixed this problem, then great. Are there plans to address the other problems I mentioned in the thread below?
Technical details regarding problems with zoom

Dedication Plaque: "Nil Intentatum Reliquit"
I'm particularly happy about some of the fixes (Inspired acco, Intel spec ship trait) and quality of life upgrades (mark turn-ins).
Now what exactly do you mean by saving camera distance between system/sector space? Is the camera distance supposed to stay the same in both environments (thus making the ship much smaller in sector space because of the downscaling) or does it account for the downscaling in sector space (thus making the ship look exactly same on the screen in both 'spaces' - that'd mean the camera distance is actually lower in sector space) or does it save independently the values of camera distance in system space and sector space?
I'd check but currently the character copy feature doesn't work (EDIT: Now finally it seems to copy chars again as intended.) and I have little to no useful testing chars left on Tribble (thought I reached the max amount of them so started deleting them, which didn't help with copying of new ones anyway).
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!
This is a GREAT idea and one that I've been asking for a while for. I think the 100 to 1 ratio is still a bit high... and the 20 hour cool down is REALLY high.. but we're on the right track here with this.
Hopefully this will help with people want to get into Advanced queues just to get an elite mark before they're ready. At a 100:1 and a 20 hour coold down... this is still barely viable other then when you find yourself 1 elite mark short and have too many regular marks.
Are you sure it's not working? Because I was able to copy my characters over just fine.
If I'm interpreting amosov78 correctly, he's saying that when you exit a system to sector space, they keep the system space camera distance, making the ship look smaller. But if you try to manually adjust the camera angle or distance, the camera will zoom back in, because the maximum camera distance in sector space is still 12. If amosov78 is correct, then this doesn't actually fix any of the camera zoom problems. In fact, it makes things worse.
Ah, thanks for your reply. I retried and this (fourth time in two days) it worked.
I'll edit it in my post.

Well, from what I see now on Tribble, it really is worse than before.
It attempts to save the camera distance between system space and sector space (so if you're set reasonably for system space, upon warping to sector, you'll barely see your tiny ship). And that one setting actually sticks around after several transfers from/to system space. (That's the good part.)
BUT as soon as you start changing your camera distance in sector space, it all breaks down and resets the camera right into your ship. No matter what you do, it will randomly reset after a couple seconds. (That's the bad part.)
Proposed solutions:
- So I see two areas that need to be worked at:
1) Make it so that tinkering with camera distance in sector space doesn't TRIBBLE it up (AKA the camera distance can be set in sector space and remains as set).
2) Account for the smaller size of ship models in sector space by proportionately decreasing camera distance when going to sector space (and increasing when going in system space).
- Or alternatively:
1) Make it so that tinkering with camera distance in sector space doesn't TRIBBLE it up (AKA the camera distance can be set in sector space and remains as set). (Yes, same as above.)
2) Make it so System space camera distance and Sector space camera distance are two independent and individual values the player can set that load whenever player changes map from one space to another.
Oh, and please, fix beaming out of Qo'nos! It still puts you above the Gorath system instead of the Qo'nos system.
EDIT: I may not have clearly stated why the current situation isn't acceptable: When fighting in system space, one needs to see the surroundings of the ship. Therefore, one cannot keep playing with the camera set right onto the ship. --> That means that when one warps to sector space, one basically doesn't even see the ship he's flying. That small it can get.
(In fact, even when setting the camera distance in system space as close as possible, it still results in it being too far away from the ship in sector space to comfortably play.)
So that's why I propose the solutions above.
