  • I love love love the show. I grew up watching TOS with my dad and then TNG and so on. I watch Star Trek:??? daily. I float between various series. I see nothing wrong paying CBS for a franchise I love to watch. It's like the same people who couldn't bring themselves to subscribe to this game. I started subbing for 5.99…
  • I don't think the numbers are out of line for provisions. Fleets should have more than five people working on projects. If you all remember when Starbases were introduced most fleets took more than a year to complete them. This is supposed to be a similar scale holding. Will smaller fleets have issues? Of course, as has…
  • First of all, any content that is made needs to generate revenue, so premade ship builds that are neutered won't sell lockboxes or real money gear. The whole point of PvP is to challenge your build against other players in both skill and equipment. I have been in maintenance mode on this game for a long time because there…
  • I'd like to see a PvE tied event that requires you to play through all the PvE queues. Kind of like a tour the galaxy event you can pick up periodically. You would need to complete each PvE queue to complete the overall wrapper mission which could then award extra dilithium, lobi, an upgrade token, or a random unique gear…
  • The lifetime on console is not exactly the same thing. I play on console also and its basically more of a bundle pack than a sub with a few things missing which is why its cheaper too. I can't imagine it being done for the same reason why ships aren't placed in the c-store. They want real life money not dilithium…
  • I just hope you can bring us forward to the correct time. I'm tired of the antique ships, gear, and personnel. I prefer the future not the 60's future look. I haven't bothered to play the pc version of the game since this retro launch. I'll stick to console for now until we are going forward.
  • You can create a manual in the interim from trading in boffs that has a skill you want to train. Boffs can be bought too with dilithium to convert. These won't give u the captain trained skills though.
  • The blog didn't mention reputations or PvEs. No Borg rep, invasion zone, or PvEs (except disconnected), Nukara rep or planet access, etc. Which also means your missing all associated gear and awards... Maco, assimilated module, Borg engines. A whole lot of PvEs are missing too. There is only like 6 or so. I hope all this…
  • The console LTS is more of an account wide bundle unlock than a sub. It's missing a few things you get with pc version but it's cheaper and can be paid for with zen. It does not give a zen stipend. There isn't any real subs on console at this point. Not sure why it isn't working... it shows active on my PS4.
  • I'm playing console and it's much smoother than pc no real lag issues. On PS4 there are 1000s more people playing. Just to get an idea I counted player instances in ESD and Beta Quadrant maps to compare this doesn't include any mission maps, pves, other social maps, but gives you a good idea. The control scheme needs work…
  • For those don't know it yet... there is no such thing as free. Someone had to spend money and the whole pay 2 win thing is just misunderstood people coming to grips with life's realities. This is however a game where it can be easily played without any extras. Since PvP doesn't exist here there is no reason to buy a single…
  • null The linking on console just links your arc profile with your game console profile. I think u get a free kahn outfit again on console for doing it. It's most likely for demographic purposes or maybe in the future they will have true account linking or other giveaways. I don't see any incentive for them to give u the…
  • Lifetime sub is on sale for both consoles for 16750 zen, it's in the zen store. 33% off Sale they say but that seems really cheap since 11000 zen is 99.99 and 5300 zen is 49.99 on psn store.
  • Your numbers are way low. Your own steam charts shows this. When STO has new launches STEAM shows 3500 - 5000 players alone and it was 7400 with LOR. Steam is the smallest portion of this games playerbase. STEAM shows on avg daily basis 1800 players but it moves between 1300 to 1800 throughout the year on avg. This is just…
  • I think some folks are under the misconception that this game will some how be a level playing field at day one. It will not and it never has been. Even without porting over, a pc player can easily just pay $$$ and have all the fancy stuff from day one. Buy the LTS, buy the ship bundles, buy dilithium without grinding for…
  • I bought 8 packs and got it on the 6th one. Don't care for old ships will most likely sell it and maybe buy multiple dreadnoughts or something. I don't keep these lockbox type ships because they aren't account wide and I have 22 characters. I prefer to buy c-store unlocks but I had 1600 promo zen lying around and decided…
  • Make me a winner! >:)
  • Needless to say disappointed. I have spent thousands and been an LTS subscriber since nearly the beginning. I have played thousands of hours over that same time and login multiple times a week. I can't imagine what the criteria are or were to get this. It's almost insulting as if my contribution to the games success isn't…
  • I would never ask for content to be removed from a game just because I personally don't like it. This a multiplayer environment with many different tastes and anything that brings in more variety and more players is all the more welcome. This game has never required you to play any specific content to level or enjoy the…
  • ETA on Nukara and Defera coming back up?
  • I prefer it just the way it is since I also have the orbital devastation trait (lockbox trait) for the chasing beam. I spent a lot of credits/zen on the chasing beam and don't want it screwed with. If it messes up people's immersion then don't use it.
  • Have you tried dropping it and reclaiming it? Sometimes when they make ship changes you have to drop it and reclaim from the shipyard.
  • I ran through the mission twice on normal and both times at the same spot in the cargo bay we could not kill the enemies stuck in the wall. We tried shooter mode and grenades. Shooter mode would target them but they wouldn't take any damage. I even tried going behind the rack but same problem. Since we couldn't complete…
  • Spoils Of War --There is some flickering of the star overhead when you first enter the system map. --If you wait too long to engage the Hidecki attacking the freighter everyone disappears and you have to leave mission and re-enter for the map to reset. --After defending the freighter it would seem to me we would render aid…
  • The changes look great! Could you please also look into getting our forum titles back for Lifetime, Veteran, and the various pack purchases? I would really like to shed the arc user title and have my career officer title back.
  • Do the beginning Kobali missions... I'm averaging about 1k XP per minute or just shy of it. I've gone from 55 to 58 in two days. They are repeatable every 30 minutes and then their are zone missions in between and some dailies you can find as well. THe missions I do are Calvary, The Son, Data Recovery, Breaking the Wall,…
  • Thanks for keeping the links to the interviews that are posted everywhere but in the forums. I know they used to have news articles that told you about the interviews but I guess they don't do that anymore.
  • I'm having similar issues since last night using Comcast . That last IP (Line 19) that it times out on says its Cryptic Studios according to Whois. All my other games run fine. Tracing route to patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com [208.95.185.41] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1 2 9 ms 9 ms 8 ms…
  • When you start the game either from ARC or the desktop icon for star trek... The first thing that pops up is the launcher, its the window that shows the patch loading before you hit engage. On this window go to the top and select options from the menu in the upper right and safe mode is a choice in that list. When you get…
  • Bypass ARC... search your main drive for startrekonline.exe and right click on it and create a shortcut to your desktop and launch the game from the new shortcut. You will not need to use ARC. You will need to enter your user name and password in the game launcher since you are not using ARC but that should work.
