As of this last update; May 10th, STO is now unavailable to me, that is, I cannot access. As I 'engage' the launcher (attempt connection to the game client), as the attempt fails, a system generated message responds: "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly." Also, as I've tried multiple times to access…
EXCUSE ME? lol Return to the fleet stores and have a good look at the dilithium costs of fleet weapons; by way of example. Those facts blow your assertions out of the water. This is true of ALL Mk XII equipment as is compared to the costs of upgrading any equipment from fleet level Mk XII to MK XIV "Epic" levels....or even…
Of course that is the hope of us all...at least, those of us who aren't into crafting. Considering superior grade upgrade tech kits/modules will be requisite in great numbers overall; even per character...and they're now selling for an average of just under one million each, to fully bring any one character's equipment to…
VERY well said gameverseman and that guy calls himself a "veteran"? lol Speaking as someone who shortly would have begun my 6th year in STO...with the advent of the gear upgrade system, the most important aspects; indeed the basics of the game will have radically been changed. Too, it's not just individuals whom are being…
Curious how I've all too often heard and read visceral complaints against the upgrade system..."too many tech kits/tech modules, too much dilithium, etc...required"....some fewer; in number, people talking about the outrageous costs of these kit/modules on the exchange...for those of us who never wanted to learn how to…
Curious isn't it... People post charts well enough, yet never seem to do the math which is; by definition, implicated in a chart's functionality. Consider you're speaking of only one ship....not to mention we all have our characters' equipment to think about. I applaud you that you've chosen to break out your calculator…
Oh really? I eventually upgraded FIVE sets of shields....4 of which were initially identical in every way. I meticulously made screenshots/snips during the process(es) of all five processes at each step. I recorded on a word document precisely how many superior tech upgrade "modules" were used, while applying one…
Ok...RE-READ what I wrote...then, how you've responded. THEN...you'll understand why I'm wondering how you could have even gone there. Every Superior Tech upgrade "module" I applied to those 4 sets of shields were identical. So too were the shields themselves. I deliberately used identical upgrade tech modules on identical…

Very well said... To your thoughts I'd add...in the upper hundreds of millions of ECs...for two or three characters...into the billions with 5 or more. Having done the math; so to speak, the above figures represent an estimate made deliberately lower than the likely amounts. Too, consider what's being done to fleets and…
My friend, when I hear "Mr. Big" over and over and over again, beating his drum about being so vastly wealthy; apparently in...and outside the game, I feel the need to barf on his bridge. As if being wealthy is the end all and be all anywhere. rofl It is NOT. Ok, let me reassure you of what's truly important...and I'm…
and anything being dropped at Mk XIII or Mk XIV levels will surely be white; green if we're lucky. oh sure, that's how we'll acquire the best gear...wait and hope for Ultra Rare MK XIV gear. I should have thought of that. As for fleet stores selling Mk XIV Ultra Rare...or even very rare gear....nope...I'm sad to say (else…
Thus far, as I read through the forums it's easily recognizable that most of those who are supportive of this so-called new gear upgrade system, haven't actually tried it. I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying in your comment, but in truth you are only scratching the surface as regards the facts. One of my…
Yet another poorly written, bug filled mission...released much too soon (before it's been properly debugged) and subjecting the player community to sheer frustrations without end. I've been here in STO since Beta; long before day 1...and this mission is THE worst of them all...a complete and total waste of the player's…
Actually, I've nearly decided to sell my account to an old friend here. He's aware of my ships and equipment, as well as knows I maintain roughly 100 million EC's in my account bank. Short of creating a 7th toon and equipping him, none of my current 6 characters are in need of anything. Every available Advanced Fleet…
Once again you display a complete absence of both intellect and common sense....this time adding in a complete lack of honesty. Regardless of how long "PWE" (NOT PWI by the way) was "around"....(within the world's gaming community)....STO and PWE did NOT become affiliated until mid-2012. STO Beta was initiated in November…
Yup, PWE/Cryptic continues to make themselves look like incredible incompetents; in the eyes of the world's gaming community. It's a sad day for STO, which comes on the heels of a long period of repetitious server freezes and disconnects that had already often made STO completely unplayable. As for "legend epic fail"...;to…
Speaking directly to this statement : What makes them so special afterall this is PW game not Cyrptic game." Dude, you are stunningly, absolutely CLUELESS. STO was in existence for 3+ YEARS before PWE became involved in the game. ROFL Further, it wasn't until AFTER PWE's involvement in STO that we ever saw even one server…
I've been here since December 1, 2009; in Beta, long before opening day in early 2010. Having said that, any reasonable person would accept that I am somewhat experienced with respect to STO. During my 3+ years here, up until free to play came along, I paid a monthly subscription of $14. I discontinued paying for one…
yup...the server not responding issue has become such that playing the game these days is nearly a complete waste of time. Sadly; during the past few days, it's become far worse, not anywhere near better. I am a supporter of F2P for many good reasons, however with the increased player load Cryptic/ Perfect World has failed…
Brandon, my computer is setup specifically for gaming and I've an ethernet hard wired connection rated at 50mbps.

********************************************************************** This is the perfect example of the "me me me" seen in people today; how sad. Do keep in mind the nation's; indeed the world's economy, is currently in ruins. A great many people out there simply cannot afford to pay for this or any other game or…
This is the perfect example of the "me me me" seen in people today; how sad. Do keep in mind the nation's; indeed the world's economy, is currently in ruins. A great many people out there simply cannot afford to pay for this or any other game or "extras" in their lives. I've paid my dues since December 2009 in Beta, but I…
and btw, my "join date" reflects "joining" this so-called "Perfect World". I've been here since December 2009 in Beta. Trust me when I say Cryptic WILL get it together eventually. Just find something else to do tonight, kick back and take a breather from grinding. lol
How true...it IS only a game people. If you think this is bad; being unable to access for going on 11 hours now, you should have been here in the fall of 2010 when STO was down for almost 3 days. lol I do however wish Cryptic would "consider" debugging BEFORE going live, but they never have before so I don't expect they…
Imagine if you will during three consecutive STF elite missions being server disconnected only to return and discover your teammates have also been disconnected and one by one they return. Missions that typically last 15 to 20 min. maximum lasting up to 45 min. as each of us were being repeatedly disconnected and…
