  • The fact that all three games share a chat server and can have common private channels seems to be intentional. It's been that way since STO went into whichever stage of beta didn't require an NDA. I believe CO and STO used to share the same in-game mail system, to the point that you could at one point view and delete CO…
  • Actually, pretty much all content from the point where the storylines merge and KDF start running missions on DS9 could potentially take you through there. Right now, getting to DS9 means using the transwarp and paying credits, or going the long way around through through the weird connections between Deferi space and the…
  • This is a terrible idea. It would not be fun, and it would be beyond abused by level 60 jerkwads camping the edges of low level story paths that pass near the borders so they can gank anyone that somehow clips the death zone. (The Federation missions involving the Gorn and the Derpy Paris storyline would be big targets for…
  • Except, after having read this entire thread, very few people are asking them to REMOVE this feature. Nearly everyone that isn't defending it (like you) is asking for the ability to turn it off for their own personal game play experience. If you like it, you'll still get to use it. If they add an Off switch, YOU won't be…
  • I've already provided the only feedback on it I intend to. I want an Off switch for it.
  • That's making the rather grand assumption that the new system actually WORKS. Based on the current Loadout system, I have zero trust that it actually will, or that it will receive any priority for fixes when it inevitably breaks. I already have to fight with the Loadout system as is - at least four of my captains have been…
  • I did read it. The new system would still mean that I have to do MORE to keep it from breaking my ships. I want the ability to turn it OFF.
  • I am thinking about the potential here. I'm thinking about the potential for it to make it a nightmare every time I actually do get a new ship, since it'll break my current ship by moving gear I didn't want moved. Even if the ship is the same overall type, I almost never use exactly the same weapons loadout from ship to…
  • My feedback: I want a simple, *functional* and account wide option to disable this feature. I don't want it, I didn't ask for it. And given the history of anything related to ship switching and loadouts, I'm fairly certain that it will NOT work as intended. Frankly, I spend enough time fixing my ships already, due to the…
  • Thank you, that was the problem. I had talked to her to close out the previous stage, but had failed to notice the new mission. I have done this series on many characters, but mostly over a year or more ago. So I had been skimming the mission dialogue, mostly looking for green text without really reading it.
  • I am certain I talked to Mesa Achebe. The mission tracker updated and the dialogue options changed, and the quest tacker step is now something like "Gather intelligence on DS9." I honestly see no point in submitting a bug report. I have very little faith that they actually check them, and a mission breaking bug that "only"…
  • Noted. Thank you. I shall continue to ignore the Advanced queues then. It's only really relevant for Omega items, fortunately, at least of the reputations I've attempted. Romulan gear doesn't use specific tokens, just Marks. Nukara doesn't either. But I only have one captain that will use anything from the Nukara…
  • I just ran this over twenty five times last night. Other than three missions where he got stuck trying to pathfind to his assigned spot after the cutscene (and wouldn't fight back) the only time he got killed early was when I had an engineering combat drone following me. And in the past, I remember setting up a mortar and…
  • No, I do not play them. I barely played the queues before - really just the Azure Nebula one for Romulan marks, ISE because it was *usually* possible to finish with a random queue PUG (and because it's really the only way to get the Borg tokens for building rep gear) and Crystal Catastrophe Elite for the marks to clear…
  • For this part specifically, what people are probably doing is running Duty Officer missions. KDF characters have access to Marauding instead of Diplomacy. Many Marauding missions reward contraband, and often Prisoners. Starfleet characters might rarely get Contraband from a Confiscate Contraband mission, or from inspecting…
  • Personally, I tend to set a ship to Weapons profile and leave it there. At least against normal PVE stuff, you're usually better off making the enemy dead faster than trying to take a pounding longer. Even on cruisers and science ships. If you're doing l33t level queues or PVP, it might be worth switching power to other…
  • Anti-troll ball device? There's something that will destroy the stupid disco balls? Where does it come from, and does it hopefully cost a fraction as much as the disco balls?
  • It's in the Dyson Sphere, in the first area when you go through the gate from Tau Dewa sector. When you first enter the zone, it's normally directly to your right. I believe it's the only spire you can actually reach in that area. It *might* be possible to spawn in facing the wrong way, but if the Iconian Gate is directly…
  • I might take you up on that this weekend, but I don't know how to get in touch with you in-game.
  • And I suppose I should mention that I was specifically planning on avoiding the queues. The Battlezone has a chance to drop the injectors, which I'd need to actually build anything if I ever get to that point. The queues are about to change when Delta goes live. I am not l33t. (According to the trolls who post DPS parses…
  • That's unfortunate, but kind of what I expected to hear. Almost all my ships have Engineering team. Many of them have Hazard Emitters. Almost none have Attack Pattern Omega. (For the handful that could even slot some version of that power, I usually have something else I'd rather use.) And the set bonus doesn't really…
  • I am aware that it isn't a mandatory part of the definition. But considering I've been accused of leeching because someone else's DPS parser says that I'm "only" coming in third for DPS in Infected Space Elite (at least three different times in the last week, in fact) it seems to be strongly implied. Which is still part of…
  • Thank you for the suggestion, I guess. But channels with "Elite" in the name don't automatically seem like a good place for me to try. As I said, I'm not interested in building for MAX DPS. (Or using voice chat, or installing a DPS parser.) I just want to run the mission on each character until I get the accolade, and then…
  • The closest KDF gets is their weird version of Star Cluster missions. KDF were originally locked into the one sector block, so until recently the only mission content they had outside that area was the Featured Episodes and the "Path of the Warrior" grind missions in the sector just north of their home sector. (You do…
  • My feedback on Arc: I do not have it, and do not want it. I realize that the purpose is to "encourage" people to try other PWE games. I'm already aware of them - I don't play them because I DO NOT LIKE THEM. I tried Perfect World International once. After spending most of a day downloading it, I made one character and…

  • As long as it's optional... whatever. If it becomes non-optional, like PWE account merging did, then there's a good chance I'll just walk away from this game. It offers absolutely nothing I'm interested in, and takes up extra space to do it. I've looked at the library of non-Cryptic games from PWE. There is zero chance I…
  • Until and unless the Elachi as a whole get a balance pass, my solution will probably be to skip the entire arc on any future characters. On the ground, Elachi are equally cheap, since every single unit can hold, stun, disable, or knockback. Several of them can do more than one of those. Frankly, I consider putting a…
  • Actually, having carriers available to each race is fairly new. For a long time, carriers were exclusive to the KDF. And there was much wailing an gnashing of teeth when that first changed, since some people felt it was the only reason to play a KDF character at all. At the moment, I don't know if they've hinted if…
  • Is there any chance of fixing some of the issues with costumes and characters models, such as the fact that Ferasans seem to have their fangs attached to their lower lip when they talk? Is there a chance of fixing some of the costume related bugs introduced with the new patch? For example, Reman females can choose from…
