the lag is a very well know issue and from what has been said is a hardware issue that is being addressed as fast as possible
dps.shivtr.com/
So is Doffing "working as intended" ... because I could think of mulitple things that seems wrong/off ... but I haven't seen any DEV Response on the matter ...
* Missing items still not returned.
* Tal shiar command codes, datachips, etc. still unusable
* Sector space DOFF missions not updating properly is not even a known issue
* Not working Improved Pedal to the Metal not even a known issue
* New lockobx Tac,Eng and Sci power not interacting properly with related traits not even a known issue
* Constant crashing in Zaria system mission not even a known issue
* R/D Crafting traits including the engineering one not doing anything at all is still not a known issue
* W to S epic mod on warp cores not doing anything still not even a known issue
* KDF players do no appear in the scoreboard in PVP EVER SINCE DR is released. Looks like no one even gives a c**p.
But nice patch, the most important thing is they fixed the camera shake in blood of the ancient. hooray.
Also nice going nerfing borg alerts.
I had the same issue with a Tal'shiar command code I got from a lock box but found there is a workaround for such items.
Open the available skills window ('P' key by default; or click the button on the right edge of skill tray), find your item and drag it to your skill tray, then click it on your skill tray to activate it. This worked for me and I was able to start the doff assignment for the Tal'shiar command code item. If you don't see it in the skills window on a ground map try beaming to your ship and doing it in space. Make sure you don't have an overflow bag button at the bottom of your inventory. If you do then open it and remove all items (if it won't open you'll need to completely shut the game down and relaunch it).
Dude you're the freaking man! Totally Works!!!
Dunno if these are game-wide, I haven't experienced these aside from the Tal Shiar Command Codes.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Red Alerts are key part of raising skill at low levels. Is why the 2x skill multiplier even exists.
And now you are going to lock them out?
Raising skill on low levels? You can get to lvl 50 on story missions alone, almost all my toons did.
And that was before I got the LTS.

you can get there faster if you take the Red Alerts that pop up all the time
story missions suck the 10th time through
Since you're fixing old issues, could it be possible to fix the years old miscategorization of all of the costume parts for the Fleet Scourge Destroyer? The ship customization interface still thinks the Scourge parts belong to the Gorn Draguas, and asks me to pay 1500 zen to use them, making it impossible to customize the ship at all.
hey...you know what that looks like?
a lag fix!
they're getting there, give them time.
Would it be possible to use that for historical datachips.
It's interesting when I look at the accolades for the Path to 2409, most of them are just missing. I don't know how that works.
http://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/3489vm/borg_red_alert_changes_on_tribble_4282015/
Two issues come to mind.
1) There are a bunch of accolades associated with the various Borg alerts. Rendering them incompleteable would be ... unfortunate.
2) I am wary of the cooldown. Does that mean my character cannot enter ANY of the various Borg RAs that used to be around? Can he only not enter the recently completed RA? Can we SEE 'before' using the warp to option on the RA button that we are on cooldown for that RA? Because currently you can only tell which Borg RA it is after you warped there.
---snip---
And my personal opinion: Making it even harder for the average Joe to get decent amounts of specialization experience is the wrong approach.
No. /10char
Was hoping to see the new elite Xindi hanger pets make this list, i guess my elite will spawn advanced for another week then.
OK, thanks for that. It might not be that bad of a change, BUT:
- Isn't Tribble still under the double XP event guise? It would put the updated Red Alerts at 'only' double xp of current holodeck (which is still nice, sure).
- Is the 30 min lockout applying for ANY Borg Red Alert, or only for the specific sector Borg Red Alert (and, uh, yes, you don't know what sector a current RA will take you to in the mission window).
- Locking it to lvl 50 is unfortunate, it's been fun figting the Borg in low-tier vessels. And it's a welcome change of pace from story missions (when you run a dozen or two of story missions, a very welcome change of pace).
Either way, seems like this is a plus for those that are level 50 that are doing it for marks (small quantities but still more than before).
It's a bad change for those that liked to run it at lower levels and/or to get xp (despite the added xp, you can now run many, many red alerts in half an hour, that will apparently not continue to be possible) and/or to get the associated accolades.
All in all, where revamps go, that's on the better side, but I still can't say I like it. I was rather in the group 'bad change' above.
Otherwise some nice fixes, but why is the account/fleet bank and mail item change to dynamic taking so long? That's one bug that I considered caused by an oversight, which should be easily fixed. Apparently I was wrong...
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!
Still retconning the story I see .
Not that the is anything more important to do .
... I know , I know , what could be more important then "THE FRIKK'N ICONIANS DID IT !!!!!!!" . Remind us again how you're planning to shortchange the Iconians by shortening this "war" to a few skirmishes ... ?
