On mine, I'm currently using on Ensign level Channeled Deconstruction I and in the Commander slot I'm using Recursive Shearing II. I'm using a human engineer in that seat to get the hull regen. In the Lt. slot I'm using Aux Pow to SIF I and in the Lt. Cdr spot I've got Engineering Team III. It makes for a solid combo to…

Well Captains with the launch of Season 11.5, I doubt the Mac client works past today. If that's the case, farewell. I spent a last week playing STO and I had fun. I did a tour of the galaxy and was finally able to visit every planet on the tour. Many thanks to the Captain who gave me some diplomatic immunity to help speed…

And guess what man, the studio doesn't care because YOU and others are experimenting with an emulator and are looking for ways to keep supporting the game financially. YOU and others are actually validating this behaviour by continuing to try to support this game. I wasn't going to reply to this thread anymore because the…

Man it is PAINFULLY obvious they don't care about their customer base and whether a certain segment of it is upset because they have the license and believe they have enough Windows users (and Mac players they've sucked into using emulators) to make a go of it. Like I keep saying, enjoy the ride while you can and when it's…

Dude, nothing is going to happen. No make believe letter that you penned will happen. Just stop living in a fantasy world because the truth is that if something was going to happen, it would have happened by now. Just enjoy the client until it's pulled and then head off to greener pastures. If you want to keep playing via…

I will answer your metaphor (it's actually much closer to a hypothetical scenario than a metaphor but I'm not going to debate those nuances with you) with this: I'm punching you in the face repeatedly and I'm making you give me your lunch money to help pay for my bandaids when my knuckles bleed. But then I grab your hand…

One answer to the majority of your questions is greed and that they were wholly unprepared to deal with the actual size of the Mac gaming base. I'm pretty sure they were under the impression that the number of Mac users wasn't extensive, maybe a hundred or so users max. And then they realized exactly how much they'd be…

Man you just need to stop. I'm not saying don't advocate for yourself or speak on your own behalf but you're wasting a lot of energy and proving Mark Twain correct. Like I said, the Mac client is done when the snow's gone and it's not coming back. And the handling of this situation by Cryptic and Perfect World has been…

Whether we are entitled to one or not, my friend that ship has sailed and is not returning to port. Clearly this has become such a massive challenge for them on all sides that they cannot overcome it so it's turtle time. I understand form letters but in this case wow. There is not going to be a positive resolution to this.…
-
I just received the exact same response myself. And like this player, I play this game using the Mac client, and don't use any emulators, nor have I used one before. So like I said earlier, truly unfortunate. But my life isn't over and once the support on the Mac client ends, so does my STO gaming time. Because even if I…

I can understand having a clash of personalities and giving into the urge to poke. I'm certainly not saying I haven't done it either so please don't think I'm holding myself up as perfect (not even close). But the truth is that there seems to be a larger than expected portion of the community that feels they have been…
-
Well I just received my ticket response and was told that all the disbursements have been made to those that PWE/Cryptic has verified as a Mac user. I find that strange considering I too was one of the Mac users who received the Season 11 promotional stuff as an identified Mac user who couldn't access things during the…
-
I don't know where people are assuming I've spent that kind of money. I've gone through my post history and I certainly haven't posted what I've put down out of my own pocket. And PWE certainly hasn't posted my transaction history. If folks are conflating/combining my posts with someone else's to make a broader point or…
-
I don't want to engage in a flame-fest because that's certainly not the point in replying here. But you seem to be operating from a faulty premise that I (and perhaps other Mac users) will be getting a windows emulator for my Mac or a PC for gaming purposes. At this point, neither or those options are in the cards because…

I noticed that this section got censored and want to make it very clear that I while strongly expressed my position, I did not use any four-letter profanity towards anyone. Use of profanity underscores the argument I'm trying to make, and does not get me to my desired position. Which is why the euphemism I was trying to…

So I received a response to my ticket inquiry and was told they have my money, they aren't giving it back and they've provided us alternative methods to continue playing their game. That's what Retribution said in my ticket response and then sent me a survey asking me to tell them how they did. My response: The response I…

On point, I don't see any purpose in going on a rant outside of it maybe making me feel good about myself for sticking it to the man in text format. And I've seen plenty of rants already in this thread so I'll let others are for me. It's just that for me, ranting doesn't hit the core of the argument and probably takes away…

As a follow up to my post from earlier, I just had a lovely chat with a member of the support team. No sarcasm here at all. Definitely a pleasant chat. She was nothing but polite and friendly and apologetic. I have distinct feeling that PWE/Cryptic/Arc are getting deluged by Mac player tickets and support requests for full…
-
So I am not going to spam or wail but I do have one major red flag with this refunding challenge - I made Zen purchases to play STO and no other game. I don't care for PWE's or Cryptic's other games. Nor do I care to support Arc because the only reason I use Arc is to play STO. So instead of refunding my money to an…

I got mine through the Promotions tab. It wasn't all lumped into one box/pack. I claimed my Excelsior. Still haven't taken the opportunity to claim the NX bundle yet.

My point there was't to kvetch about that, I was trying to get it back on topic about how the STO community gave money to support a good cause. If you think it about it, Trek is inherently about anti-bullying and being inclusive. With that thought in mind, it was easy to put down $10. This was such a good thing to do. I'm…

Heck even those of us who bought and have receipts within the first hour of the promotion going live haven't received our ships. So this will probably get figured out next week. The bigger issue here is I gladly supported a worthy cause. $10 well spent.
-
Hey I had no problems with asking, and it is only fair of me to have no problem saying thank you. So to the developer team, a sincere and gracious thank you very much for finding a way to make this happen. That's awesome.

Most NFPs or charities run administrative costs. This isn't a criticism at all, it costs to run those types of organizations. The industry average seems to be about 30% in the US, so when you give to an organization that has admin costs in this ballpark, you know you're giving to an organization wherein 70 cents of every…

I'm not saying your challenges are invalid and your experience to date has not been a positive one. But to be fair to the developers, by the looks at the time of your posting, it seems that you tried to log in during the weekly update/patch. It just happened to be one of those times that co-incided but because of your…

Good cause to support. We can all have a hand in helping to end bullying. Happy to help put $10 on this one.

You may want to un-install and re-install the client and go from there. I'm working on a MacBook Pro with an Intel 2.5 ghz i5 and 8 GB DDR3 memory and intel HD graphics 4000 1024 MB graphics card and I'm able to play and enjoy the game quite comfortably. I didn't even have to lower graphics resolution to get it to run…
-
I support this in its entirety as I see it as being an equitable solution for all involved. For those who already have it, they aren't losing out on anything. For those Mac client users (like myself), this is the opportunity to grab that ship(s) that we might have had our eye on. Based on the store prices and what you can…
-
I'm a free player so I'm not going to pile on because unlike some other Mac users, I don't have a paid subscription so I'm not losing out on something I'm paying for. I have sunk some of my own hard earned shekels into this game so I am disappointed that I haven't been able to play. And I missed out on getting that T5…

Oh, I'm well aware that there is a lot of Alpha and Beta Quadrant left to search, especially the Alpha Quadrant. And if I recall a certain episode, didn't they go beyond the edge of the galaxy and a couple of really nice people got some strange powers and then get all high and mighty on themselves? And I also recall a…
