  • It is disheartening to see that your bitterness over the closure of Foundry has blinded you to seeing anything positive coming out of STO. It doesn't seem to matter what the announcement is. In the middle of the page *** taking up a third of the space *** there is news of "Major Update" in May. As a veteran player you…
  • I don't see any confusion or anything deserving of the criticism of a "bad start". There are indeed presently six playable factions when you start out. Allegiance is irrelevant at this point (during character creation) and has no influence on my Captain's face, clothing options or choice between tac/eng/sci. Less is more.…
  • Usually your _first_ purchase of Zen with a credit card will trigger a fraud prevention flag (nothing to worry about). Anything you purchase with that Zen in the first week would (previously to March 1, 2019) be permanently bound to account "Due to recent purchase activity on your account …". So that was annoying if you…
  • ... and you can use 2020 tokens to finish the 2019 ship (during next years anniv event). So no real need to panic and spend lobi if you are short. Just start the ship project this year.
  • Unless part of a special event unlock, combat pets seem to always be 400z per character. If the Boffs are exclusive to pack owners (and not for purchase in the zen store), I'd agree they should be account unlocks (restricted by faction) similar to Delta Rising Bridge Officers. However, if boffs are available later for…
  • Last day? I'm not sure what the panic is about. You have until Feb 21 to earn the ship. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11070993-celebrate-our-ninth-anniversary%21
  • From STO Facebook: "Star Trek Online on PC will have maintenance this morning (Feb 6) from 8:40am to 11:40am PT, to correct the issues with logging in. We'll keep you updated."

  • Very Nice! Modern gift giving suggests I celebrate your nine years of bliss with a (ahem) leather item. I present to every Cryptic staff member a [Ferengi energy whip] hand-crafted from the subtle, tanned and blissfully smooth hides of 10x [tribble carcass]. May STO continue its stories of phaser/disruptor/plasma-strobed…
  • Why would you think this is a 'tac ship' with 1 tac, 2 eng, 1 sci/cmd, 1 uni seat and the largest +hull modifer of any of the Fed battle cruisers? Four tac consoles are usually on Fed dreadnoughts and assault cruisers. It reminds me more of a 'heavy' version of the Walker class Exploration Cruiser (with 5/3 weapons,…

  • You can press esc. It takes one key, really just a fraction of a second. 32 Captains x .25sec = total of 8 seconds. You have my sympathies on your grevious loss of time, but perhaps file this under the game enhancements forum thread, since it has nothing to do with the contents listed in this update. The landing page lets…
  • Of course this is not the place to request bug fixes (as noted in Kael's original post). "Experiencing a Gameplay Bug with our latest patch? Please click this link to be taken to our Gameplay Bug Report Section to file your reports."
  • Look here. Zen Store->Featured-> On Sale. You will see a claim button on the ship picture.
  • I'm not sure why the Crystal's visual static is an issue. Screen static is used repeatedly to represent interference in visual communications in Star Trek. e.g., ST: Wrath of Kahn, Video call from Dr. Marcus on Regulas One to Kirk (being jammed) re: Reliant coming to take Genesis. ST: Wrath of Kahn, Mutara Nebula Battle.…
  • Did someone say fun in the C-store? I'm personally a big fan of ship packs, especially cross faction, if you play Rom and KDF in addition to Fed. Each faction has their own style of play that may double or triple your enjoyment of STO. If I had a choice, rather than buy single ships, I would save for a 'Faction bundle' (3…

  • How soon we forget the lessons offered by Chicken Little/Henny Penny. There is no value for the STO Community Forums in spreading misinformation to stir up hate for an idea. Cryptic said nothing about changing your buffs and equipment. Open up to new ideas/things and at least TRY them before you unleash Biblical disasters…
  • Setting 21c politics aside, variations on this theme are explored multiple times across the all the Trek series with TOS ep s1e28: The City on the Edge of Forever perhaps paralleling this work. After jumping into 1930s Earth, McCoy is saved from a drug overdose by a kind, gentle woman named Edith Keeler. In a twist of fate…
  • gavesman, I'm with you on this one. We had no trouble with Star Trek characters dressing up in historical costumes for holodeck simulations in the TV series/movies. Certainly O'Brien and Bashir fighting The Battle of the Alamo in their current Starfleet issue uniforms would make the whole affair less satisfying from an…
  • Probably no use raging against the servers, because they don't care what we say. ;) Think of this as an opportunity to 1) turn off the screens, 2) go outside, 3) talk to people face-to-face (Discord doesn't count), 4) acknowledge there is a world other than STO, 5) direct your anger at the hedge - that you've been putting…
  • @Darthmeow, If you feel you have been inappropriately censored you have the right to appeal as per the "Disputing an Infraction" procedure provided below. I do wish to express my strong concerns over publicly threatening a moderator with repercussions for performing the duties assigned to them by PWE (e.g., I'll happily…
  • To quote darthmeow504 "I have not logged in once since [AoD] launched. It looks like I'll not be doing so until winter event, unless they slime that with TRIBBLE oozings as well. I guess I'll be logging off again after that until summer and Risa, again on the same condition they not Disco that up too." To quote anyajenkins…
  • Since starting to play STO I've seen the Dil:Zen exchange rate swing from 400:1 to 180:1, so the current rate of 285/290:1 is well within the historical moves. In 2017 we were running with a rate of 320:1, with the same Zen sales, key sales, Pbox Events and upgrade weekends. The price is what the market will bear. The…
  • The system is usually pretty good at detecting duplicate items. Check to see if that sneaky tribble is in your overflow bag. The Mugato Handler is still at DS9. Moved from the Promenade lower level to the upper ring level accessible via the spiral stairs. Have Fun.
  • I had the same thoughts of this a precursor to a future Temporal Agent Event, but our Ambassador says this is not to be. So consider me slightly more confused than entertained. The Ways of Cryptic are mysterious, and perhaps mere mortals are not meant to understand them.
  • If you are serious about this UI change request then the best place to put this type of item is in Forums > Home › Feedback › Controls and User Interface rather than placing random change requests in an unrelated patch notes thread.
  • Woot! Free uniform options … are always a "Good Thing". Really, what's not to like about free? Newly minted AoD captain - hopefully rocking a sweet beard and floppy hair - scheduled to arrive at SF Academy on Oct 9. ty Ambassadorkael (and the STO Team)
