I only have 48 minutes in. It's built around the Clauswitz engine which has been the default grand strategy game platform for everything coming out of Paradox for about a decade. Like most games from the studio it's fairly content light on release. Is this case PDX is the publisher, not the developer, but for all intents…

I'm not even certain it's about being servants, but more broadly an authoritarian state. The average Cardassian appreciates order. Historically that was in the form of authoritarian governments both internal and external. Even the Federation engaging in a stewardship with the Cardassians fits the bill. It's certainly a…

I have to agree with a number of the posters about the value and "exclusivity" of the prize ships on offer. At a comparable price point I was on board for the Kelvin ships. It's not the price, but the lack lustre offering. For the simple act of grinding an event all of those ships could have been yours. Who doesn't own…

> @smokebailey said: > Just go TOS all the way. :) That's a forgone conclusion :smile: . It still might be amusing to go at it TMP style too.

Internally they have made perpetual retcons of the story over the last 13 years. It seems more significant because canon is having a direct effect on the STO universe, but making adjustments is nothing new. A score of tweaks to the continuity might make for a recruit event that would feel fresh and new and appeal to people…

Maybe skin my TOS D7 as a K'tinga for the episode and get some payback.

When they adapt? It's not a bad idea and if this is the first occurrence kudos to STO for seizing the initiative. I like the idea of the Borg that has the ability to act in the "ether". The whole meatspace presentation seemed largely for our benefit. Remote reprogramming, Manchurian candidates. Nice.

At the front end of every TFO there is an idle period. Maybe allowing players to select skills then would be worth considering. It would unbalance things if you could change them on the fly, but allowing a prep period across the board would level the playing field for random players joining a group who chose skills for a…

No token upgrade is going to happen and the answer is in the metrics. It's because of those same metrics. When they unveil a new set of goalposts one of their principle frustrations is when players day one whatever was intended to be a long term (or at least a short term hurdle). For all the over achievers out their who…

I seem to be having the same problem or something quite similar. The launcher loads slowly, as in what normally loads up in seconds take minutes. The various element in the launcher slowly crawl up; Evertyhing from the advertising to the starfield on the face of the launcher that gradually crawls down from the top top the…

Someone should have sent the regressives a note. 20 years on, and you just figured it out? 55 years on and they, "allowed" PoC in the cast on TOS. Is this a satirical thread? As for "grimdark" or "reality" I guess you missed that too. Consider TOS Doomsday Machine or Immunity Syndrome. Whole starship crews lost in the line…

Rough start? Season 1 TNG and DISC were far worse than ENT ever was. The story delivery was, unfortunately ahead of it's time and the head clown at CBS didn't think much of Trek and too busy Benny Hill LARPing and didn't support it. Sure, there were weak episodes but show me a Trek that hasn't been there. There are many…

If it didn't play constantly the day the event ended you could count on someone complaining they didn't get the achievement, and that someone should have told them about it. Still, "Thank you Mr. President". Done.

I just want them to focus on producing good stories that stand on their own merit, and avoid relying on fan service to titillate the easily amused. A good story might have have room to accommodate a featured character but it's a rare good story begins with, "I want X in a story".
-
@angrytarg We disagree completely on this one. I don't think anyone would hold back if someone made demands for no grind rep gear they expected, "now". This would be fueled by the rationale that people have to, "earn" it by playing the game, getting good, or that it wasn't fair to players who had, "worked hard" to get the…

@sennahcherib said: > seriously, selfish thought. + there are other incentives. Like I said in my first post, all the new ships don't have this restriction, so it is illogical to keep it for the old ships, and more free fleet ship modules used (from rep) = more fleet ship modules bought in the c-store. Is this a rare…

DeSoto is a Lt. Commander. While he seems to be in the know regarding the facility layout and purposes I can't think he'd be the senior officer at an installation of that scale.
-
I'm sure that they would love to sell you an increased cap, but I doubt they would want to expand the existing ceiling. It's one of the few "controls" they have over the economy. As is it isn't that effective. People circumvent the large cap by transferring funds between farming alts (2B a head) and the exchange which…
-
No, I'm judging in from the perspective of someone who has dealt with costs over the life of the game, as well as inflating costs at present. I'd like to think that gives a reasonable perspective across the board. There is inflation, but that extends to incomes as well as costs. It's much easier to acumulate millions of ec…

It's a kit module you can get from K-13.

Then let's look at that. How much content is built around EV suits? Maybe 10 missions? It sounds like your concern isn't an in game application but stretching your inventory capacity which does Segway, but not really Segway into the rest of the post quite naturally.

> @evilmark444 said: > I think their lust for power outweighs their xenophobia, so most Terrans would probably be happy to follow an alien if they stood to gain something from it personally. I thought it was something primal in the way Terrans were wired. The xenophobic nature of the Terrans wasn't really explored on…

What does any of that have to do with the, "must have" EV suit you want so badly? Your complaints seem to be centered on the difficulties associated with FTP. You bargain with, "If I put money into into this game", yet every "fix" you suggest makes that event all the more unlikely. Starting a new game doesn't begin with…

I'd see Klingon or Romulan "Terrans" as traitors to their people. There are plenty of possibilities under a broad heading like that. The Mirror Captain is collaborator of some fashion. Our own list of accomplishments in the Prime universe are extensive so similarly epic acts (or variations of) should be expected. The…

> @seaofsorrows said: > Now that they finally fixed it I was able to play it. It was good overall, the end was cool.. it was a good episode. > > Honestly, the part that bugs me the most is that DeSoto keeps ordering me around even though he's a Commander and I am an Admiral. I wish they would just establish the character…

I hope that Trek fans are wired differently than 40k fans. In gaming there is some crossover, but I don't see parity between the two. The "average" 40k fan isn't the "average" Trek fan. Even the STO forums aren't as awful as 40k fandom boards.
-
I'm all for new adds on the captains but I was hoping for more in the way of observances of bringing new perks into the equation seamlessly. The outstanding issues mentioned in the patch are troublesome, and just yesterday I encountered a more profound bug with the ongoing flipping traits bug that seems like an evolotion…
-
For sure! I've always felt that way about the early missions. The format fit the episodic style of classic TOS. Compared to the production values and technical improvements of more recent content the oldest episodes seem a bit "muddy" but they have an undeniable charm that channels the TOS vibe. If they ever remastered…
-
I think this is a good idea to trial. If it has no effect on the big picture I don't see a loss associated with adding this lever. If it is a failure who is going to begrudge a fleet becoming more self sufficient? To earn the backlash parity of endeavour tokens they would have to reverse the decision, and retroactively…

I doubt a Mirror faction would be viable. As content it should be a fun arc but beyond white hat/black hat demographics pragmatism works against the concept. Look at the homogenized story system that is the state of the game. Yokeing the Feds, to the Klingons, to the Romulans, then the Dominion has been a nightmare in…
