Hmm. And I thought my bug was nasty. You also get the Fluidic ground Assault gun (like the ghostbuster gun, chained exploit) or at least I did on my AoY agent. Sorry the suggestion didn't help ilithyn, perhaps it needs something reset by support first in order to function again? The Support agent who advised that route…

The following, with full credit to the originator of the work of Douglas Adams, in the the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "Mostly Harmless", the fifth book in the trilogy (yes, you read that right) sums up my entire opinion on trying to make sense of time travel in the star trek universe. Provided for your enjoyment and…

I just posted a thread on this subject in General Discussion, but as a point of note, I can tell you the temporal probe has nothing to do with it or is an additional bug, because this instance splitting is happening in basic patrols as well. AoY characters are not currently required to cause the issue, which would mean…

I had this exact issue. Immediate resolution is when Tuvok is talking to you in the 'end zone' after defeating cooper and it offers you the chance to 'depart system', instead: 1. Do Not depart system. 2. Go to your mission journal to "hail Starfleet" before leaving the system. You can hand in the mission there before it…

QFT. The question everyone should be asking is not why this is being done, but why it wasn't done a very, very long time ago. There is an abundance of dilithium to be earned by actually actively playing the game. Simply identifying the best route to 'bot' the game through contraband does not qualify as playing actively or…
-
Add me to the list of those for whom it either didn't manifest or was manifested so invisibly as to be undiscoverable. Overall this has been a fun update and expansion, but this kind of poor implementation really should never happen at the point of 6 years into your development and release Cryptic. It's amateurish and…
-
I can hazard a guess. There are a couple of Admiralty missions whose base dilithium payouts are 1000d or 2000d. If you crit those, and you cycle with pass tokens to get the highest ratio of these as well as the 500d Payout missions? Voila, you could be generating a lot of dilithium very quickly if you have a lot of ships…
-
The fact anyone spends Zen on dilithium has always been a mystery to me and, bluntly, I'm fine with the exchange rate being high because, to me, that means game content isn't being deliberately hobbled and made more grind-centric around an in game currency that is artificially restricted to promote a monetary gain over…
-
While I respect your effort to make a logical and reasoned contribution on the subject, I would argue that this statement is the basis of a huge flaw in the logic applied. To you this is the name of the game and while that certainly has become the case in many MMOs, STO included, that is a failure of the design not a…

Actually, I had to go back and re-read the announcement because my first take on it was that BOFFs would be similarly affected. I'm in the 'please don't do this by halves, fix the BOFF imbalances' camp if that's not already a foregone conclusion. I cannot see why Cryptic wouldn't correct the entirely nonsensical state of…
-
Or it could simply be no one is bothering to buy Zen at all for any purpose in the same quantities as previously. I know that certainly describes myself and my circle of friends who have completely disengaged in the wake of T6 release after T6 release and the decisions regarding ships for the summer event; and I say this…
-
I truly fail to grasp the logic being applied here unless it's motivated by some as yet unstated re-monetizing of these ships via the Lobi Store, a feature I will never pursue personally if so. I was an avid winter event player this year expressly because I had some time and was interested in all 3 ships, having not been…

You may have had some 'pre-built' components already at hand if you used the new system earlier but didn't need to make the new parts. I found I had a number of lenses and bits already in inventory despite never crafting them explicitly as rewards from various R&D tasks.

Cute. Pointless, but cute. But your crew is in for a rude awakening if they think that galalxy far, far away in a time long ago is going to be one iota different. Safe travels captain.

You can go to quark's, order the special of the day and when you ask what it is be told: 'uh...it's um....erm... Iss Grreen.' Rest in peace Mr. Doohan. :)

Few possibilities: 1. if you had multiple F2P accounts, you added the gold status to the wrong one. yes, this _does_ happen. 2. you paid by a method that takes time to clear. 3. You have yet to log out and log back in to force the change. 4. There is something else at work causing a delay and you should submit a support…

Same. My only complaints at moment are purely technical (like why I've been rubberbanding since the start of the anniversary event) and their handling of the store items/ship progressions. The majority of systems changes are long overdue and I'm glad they are finally looking at correct core systemic issues like the BOFF…
-
I have to hope that's not plausible logic at work but as conspiracy type reasoning goes, I get it.
-
I'm in agreement here. Whatever is up, I'm seeing no similar behaviour with any other software and _everytime_ I have tried to play STO since the 5th anniversary, it's been a rubber banding mess of varying degrees of intensity. What's telling to me is it doesn't matter if i'm in well populated areas or in an isolated space…
-
Yah, i was afraid of that. I often feel like the last guy on the planet who really just wants to read the details rather than endure a bunch of PR constructed talking head content. Not a dig at Priority one as i get the fan service approach, I'm just of the mindset that actual data about the product/service should be…
-
Mustrum, Not like you to use qualifiers like 'pretty much' in the same line as confirmation. ;) What's the source for that? I haven't been able to locate it, but if it was a statement in a pod cast (and not written) that would likely be why? Just looking for where the origin point of the information is if you know off hand.
-
5 things 1. You sir, get the top marks for the maths. Well reasoned, well spotted, and well articulated. I tip my hat, sir, I tip my hat. 2. This illustrates to me why a dili/zen exchange has always been stupid (and multiple currencies in general when there are conversion points) because the requirement to keep these kinds…

Use it regularly. Would use it a hell of a lot more if i didn't have to go through 4 loading screens to cross to destinations. Will use it even more with the update to the Foundry system that will be making it worth flying around exploring planetary access points to do something approximating actual exploration in sector…
-
Exploration and Diplomacy come to mind as thematically valid. However, I confess, other than abilities that directly affect the efficiency of things like gathering materials from anomalies or a talaxian like salvage ability, i don't have a lot of thoughts on how to make either of them especially useful in the current game…

As i've said in other threads, the lack of a BOFF 'exit point' where boffs of varying quality can be put to some kind of constructive use has always been a major liability in the boff system and is now even further exacerbated by the new system. Don't get me wrong, I think on the whole the new system is great and the right…
-
I'm all in favour of the new system. In terms of utility and quality of life, this is a major improvement even with the costs in it, which don't seem at all egregious to me or out of line. My only concerns with it are: - There still needs to be a useful 'out point' for BOFF candidates that are not usable. This problem of…
-
Great, glad to hear it. Then, bluntly, don't release it yet. The promise of this system is high but not if in doing so you are carving out 'rare' skills as simply some kind of special snowflake you're figuring out for actual deployment strategies at a later date. This doesn't garner trust, interest or acceptance; quite the…
-
I'm glad to see this being addressed as the Captain's Table offers minimal value and has felt like dead weight since my first visit there. It seems the intent for the Captain's Table was to be Quality of Life improvements and incentives as well as some interesting theme points. While I do not, remotely, agree with the…
-
Thank you for the clarification earlier and I completely concur with this. We have rare equipment and rare officer base traits. Honestly, if there is one place I would like to see _less_ rarity and the focus be on player construction, selection and acquisition in a structured, organized way it would be in the boff skills…
-
Here's a curiosity: Does this system then include the capability to trigger Foundry missions from generic points of entry such as 'Trade with Cargo Ship' or 'Engage Enemy' points? Or Even hinge them off the Red Alert Notifications allowing people to make their own crisis response calls for the top 3 to offer on those…
