  • I'm a science fiction writer myself, though I usually write hard sci-fi, so I don't often venture into the timey-wimey stuff. I'd say my brain just isn't wired properly to come up with it, which is why I find your suggestion both impressive and appealing. I will say this: I mentioned the Klingon Arc partially because,…
  • Phew...this is the kind of detailed response I both hoped for and wasn't sure I could expect. Thank you. I would argue many of the changes I suggested are largely or solely cosmetic, which in my mind makes it more likely they'll be implemented. The changes in ship models (Voyager, Challenger, Enterprise...Titan?) in…
  • If I came across as pretentious, I do apologize. I was looking at this from what I've seen to be the main perspective by which STO's creators view most things: the business perspective. I was looking at it not from the perspective of long-running players, but rather attracting new ones, like those perhaps drawn in by the…
  • I'd say much has already been done to alter the game's continuity to conform to the new Trek canon post-Picard. The only real leftovers of the original STO backstory are in the lore files found at Starfleet Academy. And while it probably wouldn't be too difficult to rewrite them (or just remove them, which would be less…
  • Are you referring to the Battle of Deep Space Nine in the Tzenkethi arc, or the original battle against the returned Jem'Hadar? With the original DS9 arc having been removed from the standard game progression, I'd say it's now sort of a gray area in STO's canon. But originally, the new Enterprise first appeared in "Boldly…
  • I would say a few things to this. First, I would caution that this comment gets off-topic, and might be better received in General Discussion. I say that only because moderators are likely to see it that way. That said, I actually like it when they do things now and then without any explanation. I'd call it the "TNG Way":…
  • I can only assume this bug was left alone for a reason at this point. The next episode is set to take place on Boreth. My guess is they're planning to partially revamp the Fek'lri episodes with a redone version of Boreth, so any bugs on the missions as they currently exist are probably just being ignored. I was actually…
  • 1) I was experiencing this same problem until the patch today. For me, it is now fixed. 2) In the future, remember to post things like this under Bug Reports.
  • I feel your pain. There was indeed a patch. My only guess is they plan to wait until tomorrow to bring the server back up, so as to prevent us Tribble-ers from getting a head start.
  • Fair enough. And you haven't been able to transfer for a week? That's...odd. I transferred characters over about, what, four days ago? This might suggest an issue directly related to your account.
  • I have noticed this tends to happen whenever the server is being patched. If I may suggest, in the future if this problem crops up, check to see if there's been a patch before reporting an issue.
  • It's been a recurring issue for a while now. Happens whenever they go too long without a patch. This time around I was fortunate enough to be in sector space when the bug occurred, so I just kept plying the Beta Quadrant, buffing.
  • It appears your entreaties have been heard. New patch is up.
  • I was just thinking that bug looks eerily familiar. I think this is a problem related to the revamp of the reputation system; if you check any rep, it mentions something about "Reputation Skills" and says your skills need a respec in order to view said skills. I'd actually been trying to decide whether or not to respec, as…
  • Yes, this! When I saw the Disco-era logo on the create tab, I was horribly disappointed to see we couldn't yet make a Disco character. You guys really know how to tease.
  • I have a lifetime subscription and have been able to access the account bank since I subscribed. As it is, right now I have plenty of things in there, but cannot get them out. So I'm having this problem as well. However, this problem has already been reported. @gramuel1444 in the future, before reporting an issue, please…
  • I heartily agree. There are some truly fantastic one-offs among the patrols, especially along the periphery of the Beta Quadrant. I'd love the chance to play a few of those again.
  • And there's the rub. Because "Hail Starfleet" is disabled, completed missions can only be collected if the appropriate contact can be found in social zones. That means missions given by Adm. Quinn, Adm. T'nae, Sarish Minna, the Delta Quadrant contact, etc. are completable, but all others are not. My guess is this is…
  • Addendum: Renegade's Regret is fixed.
  • Beyond that, looks like we got "Home", the summer event, and the Excelsior revamp. Other than that, not sure.
  • Tribble is running properly again! By all the gods, someone heard!
  • Oh hosanna, the patch cometh!
  • Well, the current featured episode is expiring, new content is coming, so hopefully any day now we'll finally get a much-needed update.
  • I figure at the moment, what with the current featured episode, the Summer Event ongoing, and the introduction of the Excelsior revamp, they're focusing all their attention on Holodeck at the moment. My hope is that once the featured episode is added to the logbook, they'll do so on Tribble as well, and we'll finally get…
  • That console is, indeed gone, and has been since before I first came to Tribble (as far as I can tell). As the C-store is also currently disabled, the only way to get zen ships on Tribble is to purchase them on Holodeck and bring them over with your character. As for lobi ships, you can acquire them on Tribble the same way…
  • Curious. Do you have a lifetime subscription? Veteran rewards do not automatically transfer over, but other lifer perks, like account bank access, do. I've been able to access account bank on Tribble ever since I got my lifetime subscription (I gained access on Holodeck and Tribble simultaneously). I'm not sure if it works…
  • How long have you been experiencing this issue? My account bank works just fine on Tribble.
  • Phew...so it's not just me! Thanks for the confirmation, and confirming what I'd assumed to be the cause. Did you experience any visual FX problems? After the sounds started (following Tenebris Torquent) I also found certain visual FX were missing, most notably virtually all explosion effects.
  • I had forgotten that one. From what I can see, it's not so much that they pool in rooms as they are spawned in rooms and cannot leave. Both the exchange and Quark's have that problem: the NPCs are supposed to be able to walk in and out, but they cannot.
  • Kinda figured it wouldn't be fixed even after the release, but thank you for the confirmation. Honestly, I figured after they made the Gamma Quadrant episodes playable without Renegade's Regret that the bug had been back-burnered. I'll admit that, while I'd like to play the episode in the interest of completeness, the…
