Absolutely incredible work here. The originally announced prices were perfectly fine for per-character unlocks, but if we're going to have to pay 150,000 dilithium for a TIER 4 SHIP, it had better be account unlocked. Seriously! How do you manage to miss something so integral to an announcement as the NEW PRICES OF THE…
I love how they had to hide these changes in an announcement of a bonus xp campaign, and even then it was in the midst of a new super ultra mega ship reveal (featuring an uncountable number of drones to drive hype further) and another T6 ship coupon event campaign. This kind of behaviour is just incorrigible. Almost on the…
This change simply decreases rates of inflation, which means there's still nothing to actually "fix" our problem. This is so painfully obviously an attempt to wring out players for more cash.
This brings up a good point, though. Energy Credits have next to no sink in the game whatsoever. Everyone has a way to generate more Credits and introduce them into the economy, but from what it sounds like here, nobody ever uses them for anything that isn't player to player. It sounds like a very clear case of inflation…
Honestly, I wouldn't entirely hate a Halloween costume party event this year. Get all of the crazy ridiculous ideas out of the way all at once. Lincoln's outfit and hat, Q's mariachi and pirate getups, Warship Voyager costumes, maybe something inspired by everyone dressing up in that one DS9 heist episode. I've got plenty…
Why didn't they just stuff this into the Phoenix box?! The only possible problem I see this fixing is the gambling associated with the Phoenix prizes, which could've just been fixed by either giving us a currency we can exchange dilithium for, or just having all the items in the box become purchasable with dil directly.…
So this is a really really great thing you're doing, but next time, please make the higher tiers unlimited, or at least make more keys and stagger the releases so that everyone gets a chance at getting it. Some of us have jobs and had absolutely zero opportunity to grab anything aside from the basic bundle. It couldn't…
I'm definitely not a fan of this cooldown change. It reminds me of something they did back in Delta Rising, but got a ton of flak over. Still, it's really not cool to just make changes like this without telling, as if they had the idea that if they could avoid backlash, bad decisions don't become so bad? It's a whole lot…
I have to agree that the "second chance" system is hardly a second chance at all, if the only way of completing the project after the event is paying up. Also of note is that we have no more information about what happens to unfinished projects, or leftover commendations, or anything else, before it's too late to get the…
The only way I would be okay with a revolver being added is if I could spin in in my hand when I'm not shooting or reloading. I already have a Revolver Ocelot character who has a billion pistol weapons (most importantly the Comp Rep Pistol) and I would adore a proper SAA or similar.
You obviously can't copy things back from tribble, because in the worst cases you end up with a character with content that doesn't exist on holodeck that causes major issues, and at best you get someone who has had access to infinite resources and currency. I shouldn't have to mention why that would be utterly terrible,…
Guess all we have left is the hope that they won't keep forcing exclusivity into the game, and that we can still complete projects past the original time (Without paying) like we always have. But probably not, because I guess the new policy prefers money over players.
Irrelevant. The problem is twofold. First, it doesn't matter if "that's how everyone else does it," if it's wrong, it's wrong. If everyone on your street decided they were going to start dumping their trash into the roads instead of leaving it in the cans, you wouldn't be right for doing so too, you'd just be a moron with…
https://twitter.com/BorticusCryptic/status/1168778346047475712?s=20 This right here? This is my problem. All of these UI changes and "Events are faster!!!!!!!!" branding feels like nothing more than a cover for the removal of resuming projects at a later date. Even the main moneymaker in the form of the buyout is…
Supposedly the amount of dilithium you get for this is going to be the "average" amount. So, in other words, probably the same as of you ran it on two characters, but only refined it halfway on one and then just deleted them. I also strongly hope they do autocomplete stuff, and that it actually works, otherwise I'll be a…
I totally understand the reasoning behind the FX changes, but I'm one of the few people who enjoys watching a +120% haste FAW 8 beam death machine obliterate a swarm with billions of lasers. It was fun while it lasted, U.S.S. Firework Factory
I'm pretty excited for this! I love running around on patrols, and finding all of the old Klingon War system patrols was a fun time for me. Plus, I'm VERY happy to have more types of solo content being added in! This is possibly my favourite bit of news so far, though I hope the rewards are at least a little better than…
I love it when we all start accusing each other of being unsatisfiable overreactionaries, rather than actually talking about the news. I'd say some of these complaints have merit. It's a big change that sounds like it'll kill one of the best ways to get dilithium, and there are a LOT of questions about this abrupt,…
Admittedly, there's no real reason for changing desirability beyond 'it would be nice to see more species out there', but there's nothing saying that future changes can't be cosmetic options for those who may be lacking. I will also mention that the differences aren't just cosmetic. Traits are separated between species,…
@spiritborn The BOff trait system already works like that. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Bridge_Officer_traits Each rarity already has a specific number of basic, standard, and superior traits they may get, and the pools from which the traits are gathered are already separated by species. All that would need to be done is take…
"Yes, I want more costume options" isn't the same thing as "I want more outfits especially for RR, Dom, and KDF". I do totally agree that they could use way more choices (Hesitant about the Jem'Hadar, but I guess the point of Home was getting Jems to be more individualistic), but there's still a tribble hoard's worth of…
We shouldn't put too much stock into a 5 year old census. Entirely new demographics and fans have come and gone from the Kelvin movies, Discovery, and even just from the passage of time. That list also doesn't separate things by faction or gender, so it's really not so useful for determining what could be made more or less…
Please just make sure there's a way to catch up on missed events that isn't super slow because you had to split the earning between like 50 of the events. My free time has massively dropped since I got my new job, and I've already got 2 14-day events and the entire summer event sitting there with next to no completion, and…
How about we fix firing cycle haste soon? My main's build is 50% useless consoles/sets/traits because it's been nonfunctional for a long while now. I've submitted plenty of bug reports too, but I guess it just isn't important enough to fix... Unlike Captain Ferrel of the Dyson Sphere wearing an old uniform?
