I would have loved to see all the old STO models being a bit refurbished and then kept in the game as the original purple-colored Terran Empire faction with the Typhoon as it's flagship.
I imagined that when the original concept Borg would assimilate ships, stations and the like, technology of any kind, they'd break that down and slap a new cube together from the material. There is massive storage and processing capabilities within a cube and a hive mind doesn't care how long it takes to build a new one.…
The Queen however is no metaphor. The authors of First contact clearly stated that she is a literal person and she owns the collective. It's evident later as she is irrational, emotional and has personal vendettas. This is when the Borg became a "faction" and held territory and such, that's in my opinion when they became…
How do you know anything is done on purpose when you don't even know who did it? The people you are playing with might genuinely fail at the task, skill and equipment varies a lot between players.
I wish all levelless ship weaponry was upgradeable. Some kinds are really hard to get these days and having the ability to just reclaim them and invest the resources to upgrade them would make things a lot easier.
It doesn't fix you issue, but as a work-around you can use the "None" prefix and write the E.C.S. as part of your ship's name. It's basically indistinguishable from having a "real" prefix. I have a Deferi character and some ships I RP as Deferi vessels, carrying the prefix D.S.V. which I just entered as part of the ship's…
That's the old issue of relying on third party apps to convey official relevant news. Your voluntary service is greatly appreciated, though it is a shame that there still is no reliable first-party way to actually get news. Even the launcher/official news articles are sometimes unreliable as davefenestrator pointed out -…
Ther short news forum thread isn't really all that prominent. It's a nice to have service, but news such as "use all bridges on all ships" should be launcher news. I had no idea about this either, and I have been asking for this since forever
While this is essentially what happened, the Borg (singular) was already ruined when it became the Borg (plural) with First Contact the movie. For that movie the conept of a hive mind around a cybernetic race that got the short end of a deal fusing with their technology became a very basic story of a Evil Queen and her…
Out of universe, this is just in to allow people to play the Battle of Wolf359 as seen in TNG. The in-universe fluff of it being a simulation doesn't hold any water but you just have to accept it at this point I would like to see all cubes in the game be like that, though. Having to destroy hardpoints before the actual…
Did you report it via the bug report tool or did you just post it in the forums? As I understand it, the forums don't work that well to report bugs. You have to use the in-game tool for that.
When you write something to CS - anything - you get a standard email back which includes a part about "posting in the official game forums". While it might have been intented for bug reports, they don't take this part out for other issues. Over the years I have seen OPs question posted so many times on the forums because…
However nobody in Star Trek ever made a secret out of the heavy weaponry the starships fielded. Yes, they always tried to say it's a defensive reason, which is true, however I don't doubt ESD is heavily armed and they don't have to tell tales about it. It is the planet's last (only?) defense after all. I'm pretty sure that…
I think we did en masse when AoY was released, though nothing changed until today. The same is true for Sci captain's photonic fleet and fleet support.
There are multiple electric weapons in the Lobi store, for example the Ferengi Whip and the staff weapon from ST:Beyond. I have a fully electric themed Lukari crew There are a bunch of kit modules and DOFF that add a bit of electric damage to standard skills like stasis fields and the like.
I stand corrected, by the way. They did release a few more bridges and made them available for free. However, the bridges and ship interiors are still a feature that lacks quite a bit of attention, namely expensive premium ships that get no customizable bridge at all or interiors that came with a purchase not being…
That's so funny, it's available through P+ AND Prime here. Since I watch P+ through the prime app, it shows me BOTH as available. And more than once I wanted to continue watching, but choose the wrong one and it did start over. Let alone the fact that each season got it's own "folder". It's such a annoying mess.
Honestly, in Germany, I can't tell which streaming service hosts what. I have paramount+ and Netflix and I find a lot of Trek on both. I was wondering though why prodigy wasn't available on P+ any more (which I watch through the amazon prime app...). I'm glad if it comes to Netflix. Not because I think Netflix is a…
That is correct, I have missed that. The bridges are even available across the board, as opposed to the regular Oddyssey bridge which is not available on other ships. These are the first new bridges in at least a decade or so!
When was the last time they did anything to player bridges at all? I think at this point it's an abandoned feature, getting the axe the next time the game is getting streamlined :(
