I hate to bump a thread that's more than 6 months old, but I'm having this same issue. The camera max zooms out when I transition to sector maps. And when I go into a local map (like outside ESD or DS9), it zooms in all the way. When I look at my game settings, I don't see any settings to lock/set a camera distance.…
I'm glad to see that Cryptic is slowly revamping all of the canon ship designs. They were so ugly at launch. I hope that they give other ships like the Nova Class and Nebula Class the same love as they've given the Defiant, the Intrepid, the Galaxy, The Excelsior, the Constitution, the Constellation, and now the Akira…
In my case, it doesn't matter if its Zen or Dil - you made my purchases per-character instead of per-account. I had access to the Intrepid Class with the ablative armor at one point. The character I purchased it on is still on my account, yet when I go to my alts, I have to pay another 2000 Zen for a ship that should…
Not happy with this. Once again, Cryptic has taken a half-attempt at an "expansion". Frankly, I would really appreciate it if Cryptic would stop treating each "season" as an expansion, and treat it as they used to - a season. Which brings me to my next point - when are you folks going to actually bother making more than…
TWOK uniforms really could use an overhaul. That side by side of Chekov in the TWOK uniform, shows exactly what's wrong with the uniform ingame. But aside from that, good job on the artwork. Why would Cryptic even put stuff from Babylon 5 in this game, since it's Star Trek Online...
I'm VERY impressed with the efforts you guys made to make him look accurate to James Doohan. If he were alive and healthy today, I think he would be very proud. And I cannot wait to see how his son captures the voice of his father's iconic Scottish Brogue. Are you guys going to grandfather the new TOS Scotty into that…
Well, considering that Star Trek, as a franchise, has been done primarily from the perspective of the Federation, it stands to reason that the Federation faction would get more stuff in Star Trek Online. However, from another perspective, STO was Cryptic's opportunity to flesh out the other empires of the Star Trek…
Okay, so here are my questions: 1) Does this expansion mean that we'll have a "23rd century only" version to the Galactic map? 2) Does this mean that we'll be getting 23rd Century specific ships from Tier 1 to Tier 6 for all three playable factions? 3) If this is taking place in 2270, how can players participate in…
Right, that scene you keep relying on was from STar Trek: Enterprise, the ****tiest ever series of the Star Trek franchise, and one that I choose not to recognize. And not everything you see on TV is canon. Or did not read that bit in one of my previous posts? Probably not, as you're a stuck up little **** that thinks he…
Okay, so I guess this means that Cryptic will be adding computer core consoles to the game soon then, so people can have their T5/T6 Connies, which have also, both, been requested since the beginning. I mean, it's only business savy right?
I sure as hell didn't ask for the Dauntless. I've been against it's addition to the game from the start, for the simple fact that it was NEVER a federation starship. What about that do you NOT understand? And accusing me of this, "my way or no way," I'm pretty sure you and a LOT of other forum posters are JUST as guilty of…
WRONG. McCoy was seen in "Encounter at Farpoint." He was used to "pass the torch" from the TOS cast to the TNG cast. This was Deep Space Nine. A series that Gene Roddenberry had nothing to do with, as he passed away in 1991, 2 years before DS9 went on the air. DS9 was strictly a Berman thing. So, epic-fail. Wrong again.…
You missed my point entirely. The NX Enterprise, and the TOS Connie, as well as the TMP Connie, being in-game, were also bad decisions. Especially since the Constitution class was retired and completely removed from service. Not to mention, Gene Roddenberry wanted TNG to stand on it's own, without too much cross over from…
I think this is ridiculous. The Dauntless was NEVER A STARFLEET VESSEL! If Cryptic even BOTHERED to watch any Star Trek episodes, you'd know the Dauntless was an alien vessel, disguised as a Federation Starfleet vessel, to lure Captain Janeway and the crew of Voyager to it, so that they could be assimilated by the Borg.…
I think this is awesome. And leave it to Suricata to get you guys to put the MSD on the Intrepid Class bridge, where it belongs. NOW, if you guys would use Suricata's OTHER ideas for STO (like the computer core upgrade system to allow players to upgrade their favorite ships, rather than being stuck with ships they don't…
I'm glad to see that nearly all the Fleet versions of ships will be upgradeable. But I'm concerned at this "zen" cost. The blog vaguely says that they'll be significantly cheaper than buying a fresh T6 ship, but that's not saying much. Further - I find it surprising, and somewhat funny, that only the Specialized BOff seat…
Interesting concept. Two things: 1) Will this still be true when Delta Rising actually launches, or will there be changes to how Tier 6 ships work? 2) Will there be Ship Costumes that will let us redress these hideous designs to look like our favorite Fed/Klink/Rom ships? Because that's about the only way I'll buy/get/use…
Dude, you get this kind of attitude from all MMOs. There are some people who have absolutely no social life, no friends, no job, no nothing. All they do is play games like STO, and in their minds, they are "masters" of the game. And thus, expect everyone else to play the game exactly the same way. It's what we term,…
I thoroughly enjoy the replies from the proponents of this idea refusing to consider playing more PvP-centric games, while turning around in the same post and telling others to go play Facebook games. Hate to break it to you, but you have no more right to tell others what games they can and cannot play, whether STO is a…
I thought so too, but the escape pod placements there, mirror the CGI model more. It's possible they used both for the Updated model, and just simply hybridized. But, in the long run, I really don't care. It looks a TRIBBLE ton better than the one on Holodeck. And I srsly hope this will lead to a renewed effort to fix all…
You're clearly not a Star Trek fan. Nor have ever seen a single Star Trek episode. If you were, you'd know that Star Trek isn't about blowing things up. Starfleet's directives say that diplomacy and ethical behavior come first. Wargames are a necessary evil only in training Starfleet ships to DEFEND themselves. Making STO…
It seems to me that they went with the CGI model of Voyager, as opposed to the physical model. On the original studio model, those four Escape Pods are inline with each other, although they are turned a few degrees differently (a few degress clockwise on the port ones, and a few counter-clockwise on the starboard ones).…
