And there is also the Mirror Universe where Cochrane shot the Vulcan visitors to death and raided their ship... there is another universe where Picard, Dax, and Riker all destroy the Borg by introducing them to their long lost cousins, and another alternative universe where I wear bowties, solely because they are cool. And…

You are more than welcome to use the social zones, but you also cannot force people out of the zone you do not like. Anymore than the trolls wish to push you out. Again, Suspension of Disbelief. Your Character dances? Ignore it. Just like when you spaz out if you misclick something. Or if you mistype something... Of if you…

My Mistake. I have not looked THAT much into it because it honestly does not affect my gameplay or my immersion. I just suspend my disbelief that everyone is an admiral and that I only graduated the academy a year ago. Personally, I would rather see balanced power and mechanics over arguments of rank structure. But I would…

I have a similar issue on Chrome. But it fixes itself whenever I try to reply to a thread. I'm logged out. Click "Reply" and it reloads back to the original screen, but logged in.

Not going to happen and please don't let it happen. While the Vulcans and the Romulans are technically the same species, they are completely different races in their own right. Much like there is a marked difference in a South Korean and the North Korean. The Romulans fought hard for their identity over thousands of years…

Changing your costume to match your new rank would at 30 seconds at the tailor and cost 300 ec. Not a valid argument. Also, I have not seen anyone say to get rid of all ranks below Captain. The general argument is to make Ranks and levels independent of each other. Making the rank a cosmetic thing, which is how the RPers…

I am pretty sure that Kirk was promoted precisely for his heroically successful deep space mission. As soon as he returned, the Ship began refit, and Kirk took up the Office of Fleet Operations... *cough*

Actually.. That calculator is not congruent with STO. STO has it's own clever stardate calculator that converts out time stamps into a pretty string of numbers that looks trekkie, but still conveys a sense of time and timekeeping. That calculator is Here and the date it gives is March 19, 2014 07:55... which is probably…

^^^ This is what my fleet is using. Also, you can earn fleet marks as one of the packs. That is what my main is doing as he has zero need for any other marks. It is really easy to organize as everyone gets something out of it. You get: * Marks of your choice for any rep you need, or Fleet Marks * 480 Dilithium instantly…

You can purchase Miinor and Major Components at several standard vendors throughout the game. Critical Components, however, are loot drops only, and thus are very rare. You can purchase them off the exchange if you look. As mentioned before, you can avoid critical injuries by healing as you go. I've found you can even heal…

I read half the thread. I dare not read the other half because I have only so many keyboards... D'angelo specifically said that the new map was being done for two reasons. First, It was functionally awkward for new players to navigate (And it really was. Every 5 minutes in zone chat you get some noob who is asking where…

There has to be a Suspension of Disbelief and a dichotomy between YOUR personal history and the gameplay. I'm an RPer. I like my canon and my lore. So I know where a lot of you "Cap at Captain" guys are coming from. But I also realize that the gameplay, the levels that I play though, do NOT have to be my characters…

I think for the purpose of RP and canon the ship hierarchy could be broken down into the following * One ship * Squadrons: 4-5 ships working in concert in one area and one engagement. i.e. teams * Task Group: 4-5 Squadrons working on different elements of a single engagement. i.e. Starbase Fleet Defense * Fleet: Several…

While I agree with the OP's sentiment, there are several other ways of getting around the email system, especially if this is a game that you enjoy. For instance, you can follow @trekonlinegame on Twitter. This is the official twitter of Star Trek Online, and has up to the minute updates direct from the community manager…

You can only get Sponsorship tokens on your own account, and from a toon that has finished T5 in that reputation. There is no way around this for your first toon. You cannot get them from anyone else as they are account bound. The system is designed so you will have an easier time leveling up alts. But you will still have…

MMO players usually know what they are getting into with a chat system. STO at least has the public account handle system that allows you to associate toons to accounts. There is a chat option to always display account handles. Takes up more room, but worth it. I think the only way to keep the conversation going while…

DPS helps, but crowd control and Aggro grabbing are viable and encouraged tactics now. The fact that the mission is not solely "deafeat 5 waves in X time", but you actually have objectives, and the bad guys are in the way, means that we have more options for winning. My CC wizard Vesta class was actually contributing to…

^^^ This. Having your rift closing interruptible means that you have to rely on your teammates to cover for you. On the Dyson ground maps, you are mostly by yourself except for your Bridge officers... which are AI... which you should not trust to cover you. Dyson ground is also a semi-soloable map if you plan yourself…
-
^^^ Have to agree with this. The game mechanics is based around the classic MMORPG style. to chnage that right now, thit late in the game would be impossible. You would have to add 1) Actual shooter mechanics what is dependent on where you aim the mouse (the kind we have now still locked onto a target box, not the center…

Game Season =/= Television Season. Just saying. It takes alot more development time and energy to create one mission than it does to create one television episode. This isn't a passive media, it is interactive, and thus requires alot more time.
-
Several things wrong with your thinking, OP. First of all, Cryptic most definitely has more than 6 devs working on STO. at last count, I believe they had 40. Second of all, Cryptic doesn't release hard data and hard dates anymore because of the nature of their business; they have billions of lines of code to wrestle with…

The Gravimetic torpedo is designed for crowd control.. not damage. It is a torpedo that controls crowds.. and maybe does damage if it hits bare hull. This thread is like saying that Beam Overload does not do enough to stop a Borg Probe from reaching the gate. That's not what it was designed for. For a crowd control wizard…

On your skill tree, you cannot have more than 99 points in any one skill. However, you can supplement that with passive gear. Passive consoles, deflectors, engines, and warp cores all add directly to this score. Your effective skill points score is shown on your character status sheet under "Skills". That number takes into…

Naming and shaming will not be tolerated in the forums. So change that quick. At any rate, this is why as a fleet leader, or even as a regular memeber, you have to watch out who you put at what rank. If this detestable person was at a high enough rank to DO this, you have to ask yourself "Who put him there in the first…

Again to answer questions -The Quantum Field Focused Phaser (Or the "Phaser drill" as we call it in the business) is kinda a hit or miss console. Great fun and powerful to drill away whole chunks off gates and unimatrixes, but it is impractical on other npcs, and impossible in PvP. Good fun, but not completely worth the…

I remember Diangelo saying that he wanted to implement a landing screen that summarizes what has happened since you last logged on. Doff missions, exchange sells, as well as content you might have missed. Sort of like a PADD from your Yeoman.

I have to agree with this. My fleet is spread across the globe and I simply have their common time zones on my windows clock. Same with the PST timezone for Cryptic. Eventually, you just LEARN when timezones are. "Oh, it is 3 pm right now, I can send a Pm to my Australian friend really quick and ask him about this Dev blog…
