I applaud the spirit of the give-away, but this should have happened before T6 reputations rolled, and before a >6Gb bugged anniversary patch kept hundreds of us out of the game, unable to claim it... :(
-
Force verify, SafeMode, proxy, restart PC...nothing is working! Game got to character selection screen the firat time, and proptly crashed to desktop. So much for spending any more $$ on in-game items....
-
After patching, I cannot log in at all; Windows just locks up, until I close STO. If I force-verify, the game crashes to desktop. I'll take ANY suggestions for getting the game to run at this point...
-
Lots of broken things go unfixed, this joins my list. Thanks to those who posted the work-around, though! B)
-
Among other resource snafus - buying outfits for alts that can't use them, like the Lobi-Tholian robes for my Orion female, 2017 snow suits for my Jem Hadars, etc. :s
-
I have no interest in NON-combat pets; my storage is already at a premium. Now if Cryptic made a COMBAT version of the tardigrade, I would actually spend Lobi for that... ^^
-
I can't think of a single Event ship that had more than a canned bridge with no crew decks, but then I don't spend much time walking corridors in the first place. Interior disappointment aside, I do like the ship's agility, and the Aegis visuals are wild, wrapped around the entire hull in sector space, strung out behind…
-
Actually, I've had things go in the overflow and not be able to get them back out for days; no idea why. Tried opening the bag in sector space, ground, social hubs, ship bridge, no luck. IMO this is related to the delayed resource counting in the fleet projects I have also been seeing lately. Dump resources into a project,…

I recently played thru "Bug Hunt" with my original KDF Eng 'toon, and it was the easiest instance of that TFO I ever did. Killed lots of bluegills, survived the spawnmother chamber, never got killed. My Sci 'toons are second best at this one, while tacs for some reason wind up respawning all too often. And I have a bias…
-
I used the alien-gen tool to create my Disco 'toon as Aenar, complete with "blind" (reflective) eyes and Aenar antennae. The hair options are unfortunately limited, but I've given her all the telepathic and empathic traits available. Aenar leadership did not forbid individuals from seeking to live outside their colony, and…
-
I'm not aware of any speed boosts on any of my alts, and all of them come away with sufficient tags to keep the epohhs rolling granted, the event is not as often, but then, neither is each instance of running my alts, since I'm up to 12 now... :o
-
@ilithyn: There is a definite technique to that race, and I have never run it with the "frosty boots", either. One way to improve your odds is to login at non-prime time hours, when there are only a few or even no other contestants. But in normal play, I find that the key both in Fast & Flurrious and Fastest Game on Ice is…
-
Very generous to include the community, and a good idea! Cryptic has given us plenty of holiday colors and options, so this is going to be interesting... :p
-
@OP: despite frequent and vociferous objections to the contrary, THERE IS NO END GAME! Just when you think you've got your characters/fleets/powers sorted and settled, Cryptic adds something new. Whether it's a new "recruitment" program, extension of existing holdings, events, seasons, or whatever, there is always…
-
I have yet to collect any escape pods, as far as I can tell; most every time the meter runs down, I get a "rescue failed" message in the middle of the screen. Most runs I've been in, there are scads of KDF ships swarming the doomed ships, so I'm shooting all the time the meter is running. In several other TFO's the meter…
-
The problem for me is that there is a bridge ONLY, and no option to visit crew decks or engineering, which would be rather different on a time ship than other ships. The Paradox is one of the largest ships in the game, but we're locked into the bridge; that's just wrong...
-
The quadrants don't need to be any bigger, for sure. And making it easier to navigate the rumored 70K+ missions that have been created would be a welcome improvement; some of that content is really remarkable. Keep in mind that space scientists have also determined that only about 30% of a galaxy's stars will be within the…
-
Admittedly, on the front end STO seems wickedly complicated, but that's what keeps me in the game, frankly. The myriad of options of all kinds, variety of RP, and social interaction allow for a deeply immersive experience, with some homage to the franchise throughout. When you throw in the Foundry on top of it all, there's…
-
Gamma quadrant is a logical next holding, as long as there is a way to transition to sector space after using TW to get there. A trading station is a likely next facility, but I can't see any reason to go beyond T3, since it's purpose would necessarily be limited. The Dominion does have some useful tech that fleets would…
-
I've been running the event with a new 'toon, currently leveling up toward 50 from 40. As soon as I get my current ship mastered out, I'm hoping that the new loadout will follow me into the event; up to now, it's been kind of strange to have the same KDF loadout in the same FED ship every time I run the mission. It would…
-
The introduction of random TFO's was rolled out in much the same way as Obamacare - players are harassed into TFO's throughout the story arcs to drive enough players into the queues to keep the randoms from hanging too long. I especially resent the fact that on EVERY login on EVERY character, I get a series of pop-ups…
-
My ISP is Century Link also, with 40Mbps downlink and 7Mbps uplink. But this has been the same for a couple years, with the rubberbanding increasing the last few weeks; at least there have been fewer server kicks.
-
Rubberbanding in sector space, ESD & DS9 mostly; that said, the "Tour the Galaxy" is easily broken by this. It's hard enough to even come close to making the full tour without bouncing back a light year every few seconds...
-
@OP: I just used the alien-gen tools to create an Aenar character; she's pretty much spot-on, except for the info card, where I've written her correct origins. All the traits I've given her are based on Aenar characteristics, and she works just fine that way. B)
-
Perhaps the extended maintenance today will cure this problem, at least for a while. Any computer that runs continuously gradually builds up minute errors that need to be cleared by a reset/defrag/update to run smoothly the rest of the time.
-
Cryptic continually looks for things they can add to the game, for immersion, for new challenges, and new capabilities, hopefully without breaking something else. Since I've never really mined the reputations for gear very much (usually one rep set per 'toon), most of my mains are sitting on 1k-2k rep marks for each rep,…
-
Considering the number of server drops last weekend, and the fact that "Hearts & Minds" would start by midnight tonight, it makes perfect sense that the server should get some extra TLC. If the extra down time prevents another rash of random server drops, then I'm a happy camper. B)
-
Pretty sad, considering recent investments in content and talent, not to keep up on the physical plant of the server farm...and on an event weeekend! Edit: ...and back on again...!
-
Still waiting for server reboot...never a convenient time :s Edit: ahhh....here it comes...!
-
So there it is, and it's not my build or skills that got me an AFK ban. I frequently finish in the op 3 in CCA, I NEVER got an AFK ban until Random TFO's appeared, and I have been playing Advanced queues for the last 5 years. Most of my builds are at or near full Mk. XV status, along with a long list of passive buffs and…
