    The Legendary Light Intel Warbird [T6] cannot be claimed through the Ship Vendor

    It can still be claimed through the C-Store once purchased

    do people actually do this? i've always claimed c-store ships through the actual store​​
    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

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.

    I haven't, though I ended up accidentally purchasing C-Store costume items in the character tailor back in the day.

    Short & sweet on these patch notes:

    General:
    The T'Liss Romulan Light Warbird as seen in Star Trek: The Original Series has been completely remastered!
    The new model features more accurate geometry and a new material.
    If you have a version of the T'Liss Warbird, ready that ship, visit the Ship Customization Screen, and choose the "T'Liss" preset to update your T'Liss to the revamped art.
    Resolved an issue that caused the Security Transport call from the Tong'duj to use Federation hailing frequencies.


    Known issues:
    The Legendary Light Intel Warbird [T6] cannot be claimed through the Ship Vendor
    It can still be claimed through the C-Store once purchased
    The “Go To Zen Store” button that appears when viewing the Legendary Light Intel Warbird [T6] in the Ship Vendor does not currently function
    The C-Store can still be accessed through normal means.

    Please fix the hardpoints and engine trail for the Tliss. They don't look right.

    Its hard to say it has been "revamped" if no real thought has gone into it beyond changing its look.

    People pay a lot of money for these ships, which repeatedly gets taken for granted by Cryptic.

    From issues with new pets for new ships nearly every single time, to issues with hardpoints and weapons firing from nonsensical areas.

    It. Always. Happens.

    Lets be honest, you are probably charging the same money here for one ship as people used to pay for a whole expansion. Yet they are getting a sliver of the content.

    The least you as developers could do is at least put some thought into the things that the players deem important.

    When people pay big money for a ship, they want it to not only be satisfying to use, but also aesthetically pleasing. I would say in MMO's now, looks are valued greatly by a lot of players, despite them offering nothing to gameplay.

    Hence why people get annoyed when you repeatedly neglect the same things. Happens with lockbox and promo ships as well.

    Weapon hardpoints.
    Engine trails.
    Visuals of moving parts.
    Customisation issues.

    The list goes on.

    I cannot fully express my disappointment that this ship isn't a Pilot ship.
    I mean, the Romulans have designed it to be fast, light and manoeuvrable yet it is an Intel ship?
    From the description of the T'varo, from before ship-specialisations were implemented:
    Fast, light, and maneuverable, the T'varo-class has been upgraded over time and remains in use by both the Romulan Star Empire and the newly-formed Romulan Republic.

    To be honest T'liss was never all that fast or agile. In the episode "Balance of Terror" a big deal was made about the fact the Enterprise was faster then the (unnamed) T'liss class warbird (aka the Romulan Bird of Prey). what the T'liss did have over the Constitution class was stealth (which would relate to intel ability) in fact the T'liss didn't zoom about the battle field and run rings around the target but rather it decloaked fire a single super heavy torp and then recloaked, constantly avoiding being detected as much as possible.

    Remember while similar T'varo isn't the same ship class as the T'liss.

    The ingame calendar was removed, but was unfortunately omitted from the patch notes.

    Wow, had not noticed that. Hopefully that is just a mistake that will be corrected & not some sort of stealth "nerfing". I cannot imagine a logical reason Cryptic would intentionally want the in-game calendar gone keeping us more in the dark.

    Kael made a post about it on Twitter. Just that it is getting removed.

    And it was wrong many times as well. It is a toss up as to which is wrong more often, the In-game Calendar or the News Blogs.

    Seems this Patch has taken away our Calendar Button under Mission Journal as of 6/18. :(

    Hopefully this is FIXED soon! :'(

    But why?
    It was an important and very useful part of the game to check what events when will begin or end, or how many days left to finish. Most casual player has no a lot of time to play 7/24. We have a real life with real workplace with 10-12 hour daily work, with a whole family, and only several hour to play for a week. Need some chance to plan playing here.
    If the calendar is/was inaccurate, fix it, change it, but do not remove it. If there's a bug, the coder fixes it (should be, at least), and not removes it. If you are ill, dear devs, the doctors try to fix you, not remove you.
    And I ask you, kindly, please stop removing features from game. Every time when you remove something, the game dies a bit, and we also. It _is_ a desktop game, not a freaky pay2win mobile thingy. That is a wrong way. We need back our old beloved STO game, with exploration system, foundry, B'Vat and TOS-arc, feature arcs, and now with calendar.

    I believe the Calendar button having disappeared, this should definitely be a UI BUG in this patch.

    I hoped it, too. But it was intentional (from devs posts in twitter).
    If I understand well, calendar was wrong, inaccurate (because devs' typing mismatches in blogs (e.g. jube)) and shows 'top secret' upcoming events too early (e.g. its 06.19 today and nobody knows when Risa will open).

    Not a bug, WAI. It was removed this patch.

    Here is a breakdown of Cryptic's logic. Imagine you have a nice untilitarian car that you drive to work or the grocery store because you live outside of town. Now imagine that car gets a flat tire. Cryptic's solution is to donate that "broken" car to their local NPR station and from then on walk for several hours every day to get to work or the grocery store.
  • foppotee#4552 foppotee Member Posts: 1,704 Arc User
    What concerns me about the calendar removal is Cryptic isn't always the best at communicating to us players whether by accident or intentions. Between the 2 options of in-game calendar & relying upon some posting either here or likely a 3rd party social media site I for 1 would prefer the in-game calendar. The in-game calendar also allowed us players to plan ahead at times. If Cryptic is taking away yet another feature, the in-game calendar, that leaves us players in the dark per information-wise with only the reliance of Cryptic's timely postings. The last couple of years Andre & his crew have been guillotining multiple features of STO & I have to ask has it been to make the game better or their job easier?
