That was established long before the first episode of Discovery streamed. Way back in 1993 with TNG S7 Paralells

IDK - Even as a Star Trek story for me it was a bit too self referential and small universe. Tasha yar becomes a Borg AQueen and is fighting her daughter Sela?? I mean she's conquered the majority of the Galaxy and in numerous confrontations Queen Tasha has never managed to assimilate her daughter? And it seems they…

Welcome to our new owners/operators (they'll be the new Ebracer Division DECCA is now under): Asmodee Embracer Press Release: https://embracer.com/releases/embracer-group-announces-its-intention-to-transform-into-three-standalone-publicly-listed-entities-at-nasdaq-stockholm/ For some reason they spilt DECCA into the…

Commanded by Captain Brave S. Robin I'll bet. ;)

They focus their limited resources on what the majority of the playerbase actually plays.
-
If I working one of the events for a daily reward, I just want to get it done as fast as possible because more often than not, the 'options for completion' is a TFO or other content I wouldn't touch otherwise because I feel it's garbage/not fun, etc. ^^^ In those case, no, I don't apologize for (where/when possible)…

then continue to play on 'Advanced' as that seems the difficulty level you're comfortable with and can handle. Elite is SUPPOSED to be harder, and require you to better hone your ship 'build' and also play the game mechanics needed to 'win' better. It's a challenge some players want, and if you can't match what's needed to…

Their own published player metrics say otherwise.
-
They've only done internet banner ads in the past when Paramount is doing some HUGE promotion, like an anniversary or a new major STAR TREK related feature film is about to be released. I guess the metrics show such advertising doesn't really affect new player infusion if they do it without Paramount cross promoting…
-
If anything they'll just shut down the Forums entirely. I don't think DECCA has run Forums for any of its mobile offerings. Plus it's not like the actual STO Devs or current STO CM really post anything to them - it's usually the LAST place current info is posted (if/when the CM remembers they exist) and its been that way…

Interesting, didn't know that was how the sale went down.
-
No, Gearbox is. But assuming the merger completes, Take Two will then be over Gearbox and DECA.
-
FTFY (And no as someone who's been with the game since closed Beta that's NOT Hyperbole.)
-
Um..I thought discussing forum moderation in ANY form was prohibited? But I guess you're special?

. Um, the USS Frankilin is already in game (since 2019) and also part of a Mudd bundle. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11273023-command-the-u.s.s.-franklin-from-star-trek-beyond%21+

If you're coordinated you send 1 player ship to each captured node. When you go through each one as a group, yes, you'll run out of time unless you have incredibly high DPS output in the group. (I dislike this TFO so I never bother with it. I have done it once during this current event only because I misclicked on the…

The point is moot. You created the name in Cryptic's game and if you read the STO TOS, Cryptic holds the copyrights to everything you create in their game.
-
Pssst - Here's a tip. You can keep an eye on what your Boffs say in Chat and STOP firing when they warn you when the Queen's Diamond is about to FBP. (Yes, I know, horrible you have to hit any other key than Spacebar in a fight from time to time and need to pay a little attention to the encounter once in a while.)

Cheaper salary & benefits cost is cheaper <--- And right now to Embracer cost cutting is their #1 priority. If it costs less to hire staff in Germany, it costs them less. They may make an offer and still allow them to work from home - BUT - said offer would probably entail a salary cut and a need to work 8:00 - 17:00…
-
Nothing unusual - they have done 1 week Red Alert events a number of times previously.
-
The BIG question: Will the game itself still be around long enough to make the cost of the LTS worth it at this point and time? (And I say this as someone who bought an LTS as soon as it was offered at the end of Closed Beta in late 2009, early 2010 - so yeah, it's definitely been worth it for me - but even back then no…
-
Well, I was wrong. They DID update the graphics layout in STO (and that required a HUGE patch) - but it wasn't for new Map/Zone Graphics - it was so they could display your current Expertise total in the 'Assets' tab of the inventory screen, and now when a new item drops into your inventory - it displays a small 'NEW' icon…
-
When its that size, it's usually just 'new graphics' that are going to appear in new content. They usually do better in that they don't usually push a pre-patch until the new graphics are finalized because whenever they do a major up to a map, or add a new zone, they need to have the client redownload all the STO game…
-
I'm sure they have a good set of metrics tracking what percentage of the playerbase logs in on what character and how many aggregate hours each faction is ;used', etc. They also have actual sales figures on what sells the best, the worst, etc. they're tracking multiple data points taken from their own servers.
-
There are some TFOs that are NOT included in the Random system, but they do not provide a list of which ones they are. (For Example: I think the Crystalline Entity stuff is NOT something that you can get as a Random TFO, and I'm sure there are others. But again, Googled and couldn't find a list of which they are.)
-
The issue has always ben that both Sony and Microsoft require more in depth validation of a patch WRT bugs, etc. before they will allow it to be pushed. Since the PC version is the one Cryptic has total control over; they release the patch to PC - and with a effective Live test, it allows them to do better bug fixing and…

Not sorry to see him go myself. YMMV.
-
Is it the T3 ship, or is it just that you can use the shown remastered Constellation skin on the T6 Cheyanne Class ship in the Bundle?

Nice. Thanks for the info.
