Cryptic Studios is a leading developer of massively multiplayer online role playing games, with a reputation for delivering profitable, on-time and on-budget titles.
... Who has also gained a reputation for releasing their on-time and on-budget titles unfinished and bug ridden.
But I think that this reputation may be on the way to changing. Over the past few months many long standing issues have been fixed and most recently an episode release was actually delivered a week late in order to fix a bug BEFORE RELEASE!
This recent trend of fixing and testing things pleases me greatly. Long may it continue. Bravo Cryptic. Bravo.
I think I might spend some money on the C-store next payday... and I don't even want anything.
It also seem that some account unlock stuff has been transfered along with characters, since i can now also pick a Borg for a new toon, and have more (not all 25 i have tho) char slots available to pick...
The reclaim on my main char (after ditching all them) lists :
Special Requisition Pack - Breen Chel Grett Warship
Special Requisition Pack - Breen Plesh Brej Heavy Raider
Special Requisition Pack - Breen Sarr Theln Carrier [T6]
Special Requisition Pack - Risian Corvette
Special Requisition Pack - Risian Luxury Cruiser
Special Requisition Pack - Dyson Science Destroyer
Special Requisition Pack - Kobali Samsar Cruiser [T6]
Special Requisition Pack - Ferengi Warship [T6]
Unfortatly some event ships are missing.
The Odyssey Class (Federation) or The Bortas Class [Klingon Empire) from 2y anniversary event
Support Cruiser Retrofit (Ambassador) or Kamarang Battle Cruiser Retrofit from 3y anniversary event
The Obelisk Carrier for completing the Sphere of Influence launch event.
Not sure if i am missing more from the list....
I have checked on a Newer toon, and that one can also pick up the Dyson now, which it did not have available before.... AWESOME
Ugh, most of those I understand and reported (didn't know about the Aelahl and Faeht supposed to get +10 eng and having bonus aux, though), but are you sure the Ha'nom's actually supposed to have bonus engine power? And what about the Fleet Ha'nom?
Not that I ever tried those, but shouldn't they both have +15 Aux and that's it?
I wonder if you didn't mean Mirror Ha'apax to have the Ha'apax family complete for instance. (Haakona did have the correct bonuses before.)
I don't suppose this means that the Charged Particle Burst from Overwhelming Force will now work with Deteriorating Secondary Deflectors or the Multi-Spectral Particle Generator 3 piece bonus of the Tal Shiar Adapted Borg Technology set as well?
...were what I had to ask. Of course, for the latter I plan to patch and test after some sleep, as that is a biggie for me.
[EDIT] Never mind, the character I'd be testing is one of my Delta Recruits, and appears to be unavailable for transfer to Tribble at this time. Ah well, we'll see when it goes live.
@jivedutch My guess is that we won't be seeing the Odyssey, Bortas, Ambassador, Kamarang, or Obelisk as account unlocks. I missed it the first time myself, but it does say "event reputation project starship rewards"... and Event Rep didn't exist until the DSD's.
By the phrasing, though, that does bring up another question: if a player purchased (or purchases) the DSD from the Lobi Store, will they get the account unlock? Or does the system look specifically at your Event Rep project history rather than your actual ship ownership/roster?
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
I am unable to drag the dyson fixxed weapon to the upgrade slot ... sry ...
Guess we can assume the Tempest Tailgun has the same limitation.
Event item account reclaime store .... can we also include other event items, like :
Party Horns
Baby Nanov
Crystalline Shard
Does "owning" the pleshk ship now also unlock the pleshk frigates without equiping the ship first ?
Edit ... unfortunatly u need to claim and unpack the Sar Theln and Pleshk first, to get the option to buy them from the shop .... and when u discard the Pleshk, the option to buy them also disappears from the shops ....
Guess this would be another "Quality of Life Improvement" that can be done to the ship, as it is now ... on the basis, this clears up some ship slots and inventory space tho, for all the ships/boxxes we have been keeping around for when we might need the ships .... now it is just a reclaim away which is a nice in-between solution for now ....

Those ships, the ones missing are the ones i need more
Im patched up to date but i don't see the account reward claim option, am i doing something wrong?
Just tested that. You need to have already unlocked either the winter event store, or the summer event store for it to show up. Otherwise you can't actually click the store tab. They should probably fix that.
Edit: Last part of the post was wrong. Had to log in on a character who already had the projects completed. Having them on the server wasn't enough.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
Ive checked on my toon that has ran through the previous winter and summer events, claimed the ships and discarded them since i ran out of room. That is not the problem
Edit: I am a complete and total idiot, this is on tribble and not on holodeck, i invite the forum to insult me to their hearts content

Well, the Ha'nom still has the previously correct +15 Auxiliary power bonus on Tribble. I believe it's a mistake in the patch notes.
Also, the Faeht has +10 Weps and +5 Engines as advertised (not the +10 Engines as in the patch notes).
The D'Khellra has the+10 Weps and +10 Engines.
(And couldn't check the Aelahl on current Tribble chars...)
But I found a bigger problem: the Dyson Science Destroyer isn't available in the Event rep Account reclaim tab. All the other ships there can be claimed on characters that currently don't have them. I've even claimed the DSD from the rep project and discarded it on one character and that same character still couldn't reclaim it. Please fix.

Are they ever gonna fix "broken" weapons in the game? You know, the ones that were upgraded and quit working. I have some that have a ton of dil wrapped up in them. Thanks.
One thing though which seems to have happened is that the string bikinis have been removed from the tailor and all the npcs and characters are wandering around bottomless on Risa.
Since folks will no doubt want a list, like the previous batch, here they are!

... there might be more, waiting on confirmation as to which changes made it into this build. I will edit this post, if so.
If I don't edit this post, that means that even more power performance improvements are on their way.
Thanks for all these fixes Borticus and the rest of the dev team. It is truly remarkable all the bugs that got squashed within the last few weeks. Fantastic job!

I want to give a special thank you for allowing reclaim of event ships. This was very kind and will allow my main to gather or buy many new ships.

Yeah I'm glad of this feature. During the winter event I ended up picking up two of each ship on my toons so I could keep a backup in the banks in case I ever discharged the ships to free up a slot for new ships. Now I can clear those out of my bank and free up some space.

Tribble is being brought down for maintenance to update it to build ST.51.20150525a.3.
Character:
Dyson Sphere Uniform:
Adjusted to fit Fleet Emblems better.
The sleeves of the Dyson Sphere Uniform no longer clip at default scales with Emblems.
Klingon Emblems have also been activated.
Updated much of the male footwear to improve skinning, fit, and size.
Previously some footwear was proportionately small compared to the body, while other footwear was too large.
This update matches the footwear to the bare foot proportions.
For the Korath Uniform, Wristattach for both male and female are now available in Tight, Loose, Vest, Bare Chest, and Armored for Uniform and Off-Duty.
Made male and female sunglasses "octagon", "small round", and "shield" more realistically sized and they now fit the faces better.
Tribble is being brought down for maintenance to update it to build ST.51.20150525a.3.
Resolved an issue that was blocking the availability of many Special Commodity missions in the Alpha Quadrant such as Haggle assignments and Shortage assignments.
Any word yet on when "Cargo" ships will be available again in Quadrant (Sector) Space?

OK, so these notes sound dauntingly positive. Tell me, because I'm dumb, the Samsar cruiser sounds like it's available for every character on an account (even delta recruits) if one of those characters once received it. Is this true??

This is what happens when you spend ALL night working mastery levels for pilot ships
Haha, yeah it'll do that to you.
Though I did get something nice out of the log in, I found the stats for the new Nandi Warship.

I hope the fix for males also applies to females, because all genders got the same error. Regardless it is progress and appreciated
The bug is absolutely not fixed. See here:

In fact, I can't even tell WHAT they did. The sliders (Tail Length and Tail Thickness) still don't work on Male or Female Caitians or Ferasans.
