Agreed. I dearly miss the times when you jumped to fight the Borg surrounded by Defiants, Vestas, Galaxy-X etc. Now a typical team has Breen, Jem'Hadar and Kobali ships everywhere. This isn't more a MMORPG. This is only a MMOG. It is sad that the cost of the game beeing alive costed its identity.

I do not see people who dislikes, let's say, VOY, being so vocal and threatening to simply rage quit because STO introduced the delta quadrant. There could be one or other. But I do believe most trekkies tollerates the "bad" series (except perhaps ENT, which caused such a lack of interest in the fans that simplily killed…

I personally do not see many ENT and VOY haters. Of course there are people who does not like these series, but the hate for JJ by some people seens much more intense than for ENT or VOY. I do think Cryptic is walking on eggs with this decision (as well as Paramount and CBS by insisting on following something that seens to…

My 2 cents here: JJ UNIVERSE IS POLEMIC. Many love it. Many hate it. Adding something like that to STO is scaring away the many who hate it. And the last time I checked, no business consider a move that scares away potential consumers as a smart movie.

I played around with the new skill tree and here are the things I found: -Energy and Projectile Weapon training are missing further explanation of by how much they increase weapon damage. I believe it is just temporally missing the description and an update is already planned. But better point out, just to be sure. -On the…

Really? Yet another Breen ship? You know, there is other places on the galaxy where is could, not juts in the Breen homeworld. I sympathize with dumas. Ok, the race is easy. But I find it rather boring. This and the fact that I do not feel that FED/KDF/Rom characters should be flying Breen/Iconians/Dominion/etc ships.…

Answer to Q1) Thomas exact words was "... the physical and CG models used in the shows." Answer to Q2) Infected before they split it in a ground and space part. I still miss the old STF's...

I liked a lot the saucer of Delta. But the positioning of the nacelle spoiled the design in such a terrible way that I had no choice but to vote #TeamGamma.

I agree with you. There were talks just after the launch of DOff system of admiralty ship being something like "BOffs in space". That would have been awesome. Specially if we could pick one or two of our BOffs, promote them to captain and put them in charge of one of the ships we already own and use these ships in space…

I have a bit of feedback on this promotion: when there is an item that can be reedemed once per account, it would be nice to have an warning emphasizing it. I was in a hurry when I saw the promotion in game in the C-Store. I did not noticed the once per account description because it was in white as the remaining of the…

I have nothing against the gamble game that Cryptic runs. I just use my freedom to not take part on this. I also learned to accept that Cryptic put on lock boxes/DOff packs ships that players should NEVER be able to play. I'm not okay with it, but I usually do not complain either. But, really Cryptic? Don't you think you…
-
Really, Cryptic? You incentive we to make new alts. We do. Now, perhapos some people would be planning on flying the old ships. But guess what? You are forbbiding us from using them!!! Way to go!!! :( Also, health people have life outside this game. And this life might require that perhaps in a specific year, some people…

I did understood that it is just advanced tech that looks like magic. My problem is that always that this happened, the new tech was something really different. The american natives have never seem a gun, or mirrors and steel armors. But the Federation knows what it is an trident or a staff. Those comes directly from human…

I understand and respect the decision of making the Heralds look toons from magic MMOs. But I respectfully disagree. I play STO exactly because Star Trek does not have this magic feel. And the justificative presented in the blog for why the Heralds have this design did not convinced me. The Dominion are similar society to…
-
Vulcans would ressemble a lot with elves, if you put some elfic clothes on them and elfic weapons on them, i.e. arc and bow. But since it is an Star Trek, yeah... I have to agree with virusdance. It seens an unexpected NPC design for a Sci-Fi MMO. I particularly did not liked this design. And that is ok. The same way,…

Scaling down is not the problem, I think. As deaftravis said, we are already scalled down. These are just the old DSE which are inherently easy and one get bored easily with them. So, it does not seems to be reasonable to remove a perfectly fine piece of content (the RA) and replace with something less desirable (the old…
-
The idea is definetly fun to think about. I approve it. However, I think Andromeda is set in the future of ST and the Comonwealth already includes the Milkway. So, it do not provides a consistent historyline (although would be really cool to see/play the Andromeda :D ). Back on topic, I did not like the art of the Heralds.…

Wait a minute... They actually went to the trouble of patching redshirt with the old build :eek: Ok. Delta recruitment can wait. Nostalgia cannot! Patching it up now. :D Oh, BTW. Cryptic, you should do this once in a while for a change.
-
That would be fun. But I think they are already kinda of doing this with the Iconian threat. Honestly, for me the simple return of old RA would be good enough. It was a fast and fun mission, rewarding descently. If what is on Tribble becomes the norm, I might very well simply start to ignore the RA. Except for Tholian RA.…

Forum bugged my reply. Never mind...

I own a Geforce 660M. On my PC, I have to go on the nvidia panel -> Manage 3D settings (hope is like this in english) and manually add the GameClient.exe of Tribble to the list of programs (usually inside Star trek Online/Playtest). It will default to run on the intel card. Change it to force using the nvidia card. I hope…

In the past, long before the game was F2P and before the sector revamp, the deep space encounters used to chase you and force you into a deep space instance. It was painfull. You couldn't park in peace at sector space without being chased down and ofrced into combat. I say that having to evade NPC is a not good. I prefer…

My piece of feedback: First, the map looks amazing! It is big and so filled with systems that it feels real!!! Congratulations to the team. Now, to the bugs and things I did not liked. I just approach Donia at high warp (transwarp on with the automatic pilot). The star went from a dot to a big ball taking my entire screen…

Just passing by to say thank you for the fix. Before the anniversary I could get 30 fps only in really desert areas. Now 30 fps is the norm, often going in the range of 40-50 fps. Really, thank you very much!!!
-
I do not think I would pay or grind that much when there is T6 ships for much less. But I would definetely pay a reasonable amount for a T5U -> T6 upgrade. The state it is, I do not think it is worth upgrading the ship at all.
-
Also getting the same problem. The game crashes to desktop with a dx error message. If I try to re-open the game, at the moment I click engage I get a BSOD with the error message video_tdr_failure. I'm running Windows 8 and never had these issues. This started after last patch. Also worth to note, I played a good amount of…

With this price, I will not buy it in a million years. My feedback: Keep the price, but raise the pool for more reasonable amounts. How about something in the range of 50k-100k? Edit: BTW. If these are fixed to give a more reasonable amount of Crafting XP, I will probably expend all my zen and dilithium on those things…
-
This mainternance was actually an big update. And they wanted to bring these updates to the game anniversary, therefore I think they did not want to postpone it. That said, I agree with you. They could have given more time for the ships. Today giveway could have started at 14 PST instead of 10 PST, for example. Or better…

I know this thread is about the QoL improvements for the GUI, not bugs. But anyone that hits the forum of graphical issues will see several threads complaining that the GUI is a fps eater. Its an old bug (like, really, really, really old), affects all cryptic games and severely impacts performance, heavily impacting the…
