    I see that I was not the only person unable to turn in the "new officer" mission. I still can't complete the Breen story arc as the "map could not be located or not patched". I like using the Breen set on my plethora of Breen ships so hopefully this will get addressed in the near future (yes I submitted tickets on it).

    Type-7 still AWOL?

    that was (purportedly) fixed in last thursday's patch​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Come and blow off steam or rant in the Forums, here, of course. :)

    Organized various items in the C-Store
    Hope you guys get to the ship part of the C-Store, soon. And separate them by Faction?

    No Foundry, yet. :( Awwww...still waiting to finish playing missions for that ViL Foundry Challenge.
    I still have 9 of those to do....though I already have a couple in the running for my vote. LOL!

    Before anyone says 5.5 hours for just that. There is ARC maintenance too, hence the 5.5 hours. The ARC maintenance is to effect all PWE games

    Can you link that? Thanks!

    I browsed the ARC News in their forums and checked ARC Fb feed and only see something about a game sale.

    Still no fix scheduled for the Dyson and Kobali ground BZ's - Still no fix for the Alts that aren't getting the account wide sponsorship bonus for reputations - still no word on WTF we are supposed to do with the old sponsorship tokens - still no fix for the warp out FX/SFX ...

    At least they did acknowledge the Installation 18 bug, although that doesn't explain the other 20+ missions that are MIA for many players, maybe the "fix" for Installation 18 will also resolve the others.

    The only way I knew was when launching ARC it came up with "There will be scheduled maintenance on our services and games October 24th from 5am to 9am PT"

    What about the exchange (over two weeks now and still no mentioning in open issues)?

    Also, why only fix DSC Klingon ships? The DSC Klingons on ground also don't give XP when defeated. Basically everything in the DSC Tutorial will not give XP when defeated, and it also won't give the player any loot (except for the scripted medium hypo).

    The removed missions are not a bug, this was announced back in September: https://arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10993953-streamlining-the-mission-journal.
    we’ve taken out several of the Klingon War missions while we work on improving them, too. We want to give these missions the polish that will make them better, in the form of updated environments, streamlined gameplay, and a solid story. Since we can’t leave these missions in play while they’re under construction, we’ve removed them for now.

    The Devs must be getting pretty annoyed with people bitching about this :|

    "Installation 18" is a known bug that has cropped up primarily for Discovery era Captains, which is why it is on the known issues list.

    People ask how long have I been playing STO - well the answer is simple: I have been here since the beginning. I just haven't always had a lot to say.

    Resolved an issue which caused owners of the Hur’q Ravager Escort Carrier [T6] or Hur’q Assembly Multi-Mission Science Vessel [T6] to be unable to purchase Swarmer Fighters from various stores.

    Howsabout you make the swarmers suck less so people are likely to buy them... a 20 second recharge would be a good start and synergize well with the science vessel's trait. The discovery era klingons can launch that fast and they don't even profess to be a "swarm".

    All this organisation of the Cstore makes me wonder if they're finally going to give us the option to see ships filtered by the faction browsing or checkboxes to show/hide ships we own or not to allow.

    Having to wade through a sea of off faction vessels is simply bad for sales and should have been sorted a long time ago before the t6 list got as bloated as it is now.

    No patch notes for console means they've STILL not got around to sorting the queue issue thats causing the population to dwindle as more and more folk find it harder to use the instance hop fix due to lack of players in what should be high pop zones (DS9, ESD, etc)

    It's only a core gameplay mechanic that's borked!

    I was having that same problem in some DSEs. The fix for that is to launch your launcher, go into options and untick Patch on Demand, tick Force Verify and save. Once it finishes verifying it will patch and you'll have your missing map pieces. Then you can reset PoD and untick Foce Verify.
    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

    According to the launcher, they are doing more than just applying a Patch - they are doing server maintenance as well.

    Just because there isn't a fix for something yet doesn't mean it isn't a working in progress. Somethings take longer to fix than others. Just sit tight a fix for xyz will come eventually. I'm sure players will prefer something fixed properly rather than just put a band aid over it. Sometimes a fix is more complex than originally thought. Sit tight they will get done.

    "Organized various items in the C-Store
    Delta Rising and Victory is Life Bridge Officers moved to Bridge Officer Tab.
    Agents of Yesterday 0718 Bridge Officer moved to Bridge Officer Tab.
    Legacy of Romulus and Delta Rising Duty Officers moved to Duty Officers Tab."

    does this mean we can now buy the bridge officers on their own without paying £100 for the entire pack?

    Trash them. They effectively gave you unlimited tokens for free, so there's your compensation.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    You're soo missing the point. They gave everyone 'unlimited tokens for free,' except that those who invested in sponsor tokens for an alt, lost 100 Marks per rep on top of that. Not all that much, but still worth 3 days of daily rep 'feeds'.

    Besides, the Dev in the podcast said they'd give us a trade-in Project. Let's pretend they'll keep their word.

    Being US based they do it at a time where it is most suited to them. If it were done at the time you state that would be at 9pm PT peak time for the US. Plus the devs have their families to get home to. But regardless of the time maintenance is carried out somewhere globally will be at a disadvantage. It is just one of those things that has to be accepted. Maintenance is only usually 2.5 hours at most so no real hardship. When they have to have extended maintenance it is done for the benefit of the player base in the long run.

    Yes, but why is it always the same lot of folks being the one to give in?
    Are we unimportant then, of less value?

    It's been years like this, you count in all the years just how much time we gave in, compared to US and similar based players.
