  • The fix for this is to start the game in 'Safe Mode' from the Launcher Options screen. Click Safe Mode then 'Save'. You will need to sort your graphics out when it loads in. This usually happens when there has been a driver update or such that invalidates your gameprefs file.
  • The Crossfield Sci Spearhead is only reclaimable if you bought it as part of the Mudd's Bundle, otherwise it has only been part of an event reward for the Campaign Reward Infinity Choice Box for which you can not reclaim it. You can only reclaim the console on the character it was opened on if you acquired it that way.
  • Yup. You know what the doomsayers are like....game's only being 'dying' for 14 years :lol: :lol:
  • Actually the Ba'ul ship does the same thing to a point. The removal of the Omni limit will only serve to appeal more to AFK'ing, especially on static AFK build's. Even with a missing DMG mod, Omni's are still as potent as standard Arrays. I do not get why folk can't cope with the missing 90 degrees, because even with…
  • There are 6 events to this year's campaign (1 more than last year), mainly because you can now collect all 3 choices. The prevalence of 1 or 2 week Red Alerts is irrelevant to this. There's no point dwelling on whether there will be more or less, especially as there really is no convention (rules) or pattern on the amount…
  • This is for number 2. It is working as intended. You MUST complete the mission AND then warp out for the XP to be applied. It was changed to work this way to reduce server load years back. As for losing XP switching ships within a mission, that's on you I'm afraid. Finish the mission and warp out first.

  • You need to do this everytime. Click on the interface to go into Ship Customisation, then immediately drop out of it when it loads in, then go back into it. It will then show exactly what you have on. For some reason it doesn't sync with the database correctly and the second entry kicks it into touch.
  • The Vorta are not fighters because of their poor sight; doesn't stop them from shooting at blurry blobs, but makes them pretty poor soldiers especially as they are very slight in build, and they don't take orders from the Jem'Hadar; the Founders are their Masters, and they follow their orders blindly (The Dom Faction is…
  • Both bugs have been 'fixed' (as per last night's livestream) and have gone off to QA for testing. They should be live within the next couple of weeks.
  • Short and Long Red Alerts have tended to alternate, depending on what the Event calendar is like, and have been around for many years now. There is no reason to think this is going to change. I saw a few comments on FB about 'being robbed', and this is from new players with little knowledge on the Red Alert versions.
  • Absolutely 100% on the Assimilate ability.
  • What do you mean 'to compensate'? There is nothing to compensate you for. Short Red Alerts have been a thing for years and usually alternate with the long version.
  • This isn't a request thread :lol: There's been zero indication consoles are going to be sunset. Ignore the doomsayers.
  • ToS is transferable, and not annulled just because it's not PWE anymore. The fact the ToS are still as is means it's still applicable.......and don't get me start on China and it's 'Time Travel' bans :lol:
  • This is not a bug and is WIA. This is not how the sponsor feature works. It halves the XP needed on all other toons, that is all. It does not automatically advance your other characters, and never has done so.
  • Hallucinations I experienced when I was using a certain 'AI' app to help me find papers for a Research Project I did last year. About a fifth of the papers it said to look at just didn't exist, and it simply couldn't accept they didn't exist even after I followed every possible path to find them. It was only after strictly…
  • Console has 1 less benefit, that's it. Console is about a third cheaper, and can be acquired for Free; PC players do not get this option. That's why it doesn't have a stipend....literally the only benefit missing from Console LTS. I've seen some console players literally rage at this, but they refuse to acknowledge PC…
  • You are initially talking about Adaptive, not Generative. Whilst Adaptive AI would be fun, it wouldn't make it past the first month because it would then become 'too hard' for certain players. Generative AI creates content, and unless it's extremely tightly controlled, it will quick fall into the dubious territory of…
  • Try restarting the game in Safe Mode via the Launcher options. This will reset all your graphics settings to default, then set them back up.
  • It is normal, nothing to worry about. There's another content drop coming in the next week or so. They do not pre-patch just for fixes, only new content. No, nothing to do with upgrades or improvements. They only do this, as I said, for new content drops. They don't post about new content until it's very close to release…
  • Whenever you start getting 'Map Transfer Failed' it usually helps to switch instances or maps.
  • Frigate pets are mostly restricted to the ship they come from....mostly. A 'full' carrier is usually a 3/3 Carrier, not a Dreadnaught Carrier, or Flight Deck Carrier. It literally means a 'Carrier' and only a 'Carrier', not anything with 'Carrier' in it. Classifications are 'exact-literal' (because of how databases work),…
  • I am pretty sure it can be opened only on a Fed toon as per the description in your screenshot. Once opened, the ship is available in the Ships T1-4 tab on other toons.
  • You can't. It was a single character unlock only.
  • The Adv Hangar consoles are waaaaaay better. Stackable weapons power and bonus damage for torps on Hangar pets, in addition to re-engineerable Attribute boost. Add in Swarmer Matrix, the MVAM Console from the newest Prommy and it's Mastery and you've got midgets of death! :lol:
  • The new advanced consoles vary in what they improve, and are intended to provide more damage to ships that are not flush with Tac slots. The variations also allow for improved damage for Sci and Hangar based play. As with most things in STO, the value of something is subjective to you and how you play. What is 'bad' for…
  • Exactly. The 'Mirror' Universe started it's divergence as early as Zefram Cochrane shooting the Vulcans when they landed. Whilst there were similarities in the people in the couple of centuries we have seen, they were hugely xenophobic, and it's clear by the DS9 era that the divergence was huge.
  • It's contrived, but not impossible. But the chance your counterpart has the exact same skills, abilities, knowledge and equipment in the 'Mirror' Universe is almost zero, nevermind talking about affinity because that is cancelled out because the Mirror Terrans etc mostly have exactly opposing drives. The only 'recent'…
  • Apologies Dark, this was addressing the sentiment others made. I totally agree it's annoying when it's spammed, but it can be protected against with Hazard Emitters whilst that is active. On PC it's a judgement call when to activate it, but it would be great if conditional triggers were allowed on PC like they are on…
  • I always use Reverse Shield Polarity (RSP) for FBP, heals my shields and I ride FBP out whilst still shooting if I don't have Subnuc ready, and I'll throw Tac Beam (on my Sci ships) because that'll do the killing for me. VIP is indeed frustrating, but I don't come across the Mokai often enough to warrant to call for it's…
