    • Provisions in the Overflow bag can no longer be contributed.

    Being allowed to contribute provisions from the Overflow bag is something I think we really should have especially when some members of the fleet do not have expanded Inventory or Bank slots or have little room for those provisions due to other items being occupying space, especially once we start getting into the higher tiers where many provisions are needed. I for one have a good majority of my Inventory and Bank space (fully expanded) occupied with Kit Modules, Vanity Pets, Summer & Winter Event gear. If we have to have this, can we PLESAE finally get some sort of Vanity Pet tab or make the kit modules, pets, and Summer & Winter gear into unlocks so that we don't have to store them in the Bank or Inventory, but rather just delete the item and reclaim them for "Free" since they were purchased and unlocked?

    So glad you fix the Endeavor after its over. QA at its finest!
    This maintenance isn't going to take 14hrs like the last one is it? :D
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    That wasn't a patch, and it didn't take 14 hours. It took 10.5ish, while initially scheduled for 7.

    The Endeavor will still have a day left on it after the patch, so it's not going to be already over.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    * Donating to coffers now counts towards the Leaderboard standings.

    I actually liked that it did NOT count. Who wanted to be on the leaderboard still needed to show up and actually contribute to the running project. *shrugs* Guess I am not going to buy any provisions for my fleet any more if it corrupts the board.

    So... grinding for provisions and adding them to the pool available to fill projects is unworthy of recognition?

    Please guys... No mention of the radiation mini-game requiring too many points to get the highest reward (250 batteries)? It's annoying to always have to do it twice. The dilithium mining mini-game pays out the maximum reward at 735+ points, the radiation game at 1200+. It's barely if ever achievable.

    •The Type 7 Shuttle no longer requires a U.S.S. prefix.
    Hallelujah. I can use it without it being considered a starship now.

    A little niggle of mine but any idea when the account bank will be reactivated when calling freighter in sector space. You broke this around the time Agents of Yesterday launched ?

    Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

    Yes. You do not get to sign your name unless you show up when you are needed. If you only dump your wheelbarrow of dranuure you still get paid, but you DO NOT GET TO SIGN YOUR NAME.
    Like every other holding before. If you do not show up on time you do not get to sign your name.

    Now that you can spraypaint your name by dumping (potentially useless) dranuure just think a step ahead.
    Because the 'other' thing people wanted are coffers for other contributions. Which could work perfectly fine if you only get paid, but opens a whole can of worms if you have to get recognition. How would a fleet marks coffer now work? When you add FM to the coffer does your contribution get spread through all the holdings? Or do we need seperate FM coffers for each holding?

    You can get to your acct bank by visiting your starship bridge.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Actually it's 775 points for the ore mini-game. It would be nice if the radiation scan used the same reward table as the ore mining since the scores achievable with both are nearly identical.

    Are you saying you should get credit for clicking the button and adding provisions from the coffer that others have mined, but not get credit for actually mining (and adding to the coffer)?

    I think you should get credit for mining and adding to either the project directly or to the coffer, which will be used for the projects, and if you just click the button you shouldn't get anything for pulling just from the coffer to add to the project. But that is just my view.

    A smart tech would have run updates during the 10.5 hours downtime less than 48 hours ago...

    Nope, see they did maintenance on the servers, meaning the software like OS modules etc. that runs the server and/or the actual hardware. They couldn't also update the games that run on those servers at the same time. If that would even work it would probably still be running because of conflicts with rebooting and such. Think of it like trying to update your CAD program at the same time your windows 10 is trying to upgrade....something bad probably gonna happen!

    No, they could not do this because it's different teams. Maintenance on tuesday was backend, today's is a patch. And the patches might not have been ready as well!

    No, no. Let them speak. They clearly know more about Cryptic's hardware maintenance and release schedules than the people who work there. :p
