It would also be nice if the account bank got tapped for DOff mission requirements, crafting materials, fleet projects, and reputation projects. As it is, the account bank may as well not exist as far as all of the above are concerned. Also, perhaps we could get a small (scales with level? tops out at 20 slots? more…

Bug hunt and a major re-balance pass. I think more missions to advance the story is likelier than another new faction -- the next new faction will probably be Dominion (alpha-quadrant 'new link' guys, I'd bet) or non-True Way Cardassians, and will probably come no sooner than two or three years from now. If we get…

I'd like the ability to slot kits on my BOffs -- and also two weapons (like captains can do right now). The BOff AI would need to determine when to switch between the two, with maybe a new Away Team command to use just melee or just snipe, or something. The ability to dedicate a BOff to a particular role, and pre-set…

Mostly what I would like for the Jem'Hadar... the ability to use any of the JH specific weapons as part of the JH ground set. Also, please add the kar'takin pole-arm and make it also able to act as the weapon portion of the three piece JH ground set. Ideally, BOs would have two weapon slots and I could slot a pole arm and…

Something with sand-castles or sand-sculptures -- even if just a an area of permanent works; or have NPCs start building them in the morning and the evening tides wash them away. Borrow & tweak more polynesian / micronesian / hawaiian / tropical memes for a Luau area with fire-dancers, hot-coal walking, limbo, sacrifices…

Maybe he's just pining for the fjords?

I ran both the Prepare Baked Tribble for Captain and the Prepare Tribble Kebab for Captain DOff chef missions once, and they worked normally. I ran them both again during the summer event -- the first time for each they both ran normally... but now I have the behavior described above. When I go to the Personal DOff…

I respectfully disagree. This thread is almost a week old, and we know folks at Cryptic are reading it -- and in that time we have gotten a 'working as intended', a 'the victims had it coming', and a 'Nope - that single word is not on the super-secret auto-ban list'. I am not affected -- yet -- but this is a major TRIBBLE…

So, I bought a Legacy pack -- took some saving up a bit, but I got the cash together and took the plunge. Paid with Visa through PayPal, smooth sailing -- no problems. Had to log in again with PWE towards the end, and that happened without incident too -- although I don't remember ever seeing my actual @name come up. Which…
-
Let me fix that for you... Or is the Federation a Humanity-fan-club? Maybe we should blame Cryptic and PWE for blatantly favoring their human players, just because humans make up >85% of the player base. Sheesh. :P

Power levels definitely need tweaking, although I really think they are married to the current set-up until at least LoR launch. What should have happened -- and never did -- was testing with no-powers singularity cores. This would have allowed balancing of the just-BC Romulan ships vs every other ship in the game. Step…

One solution could to be an account-wide reputation mission unlock. If any character has unlocked Romulan Reputation Tier 1, for example, then all other characters on that account get access to a new Romulan Reputation Mission "Shortcut to Romulan Reputation Tier One". Run this mission once for all the Romulan Reputation…

I'm not too happy with the art in that screen-shot -- both Romulans pictured are far towards the unattractive end of the spectrum. -- The oily male needs to either wash or shave his hands, and has basically had his butt surgically removed -- and don't ask me where it looks like his pants are going; the lopsided…
-
Heh. Told ya. :P Except we don't. The Romulan BC is better than the KDF BC in ways the devs won't tell us; it is numerically 'cloak-ier' which leads to better Defense, etc. And in your very next point, you object to using lessons learned about balancing the KDF cloak as 'just more of the same' and roundly condemn it. If…

I should mention that I am not part of the closed Beta, and haven't flown any of the ships or tried any of the mechanics discussed here. I have read the entire thread to this point, however, and have noticed a few issues that keep cropping up. I hope my input might, therefor, be useful. * Balancing the fact that all of the…

If I recall correctly, they said that the CE would return along with the LoR expansion on the 21st. Ideally, what could happen is that anyone who plays the CE event in specified rotating times (similar to how academy events, etc. are handled) after the 21st will get a single shard as a completion reward -- what those folks…

Looks fishy to me. Notice the fine print at the bottom right .. and of course the url goes to steamdb rather than to steampowered. Might be legitimate, but it makes me a bit hesitant. The steam store at store.steampowered.com only shows STO and the Steam starter pack for me. I would be delighted to be wrong of course --…
-
That is a fair point; nothing in STO is forever carved into stone. I was initially inclined to buy the pack, and further information has made me hesitant. It seems likely to me that further information could prompt me to buy, too. Right now the ships, consoles, and basic mechanics are still very much in flux; as the beta…
-
I was not invited to the closed Beta, and don't generally play on Tribble. I am a casual player, and any time I spend on the game, is time I'd rather spend actually advancing my characters. More to the point, all of the items I mentioned have already been mentioned to the devs in the exact thread to which I pointed ;) I am…

I have been reading the official Beta-test feedback thread, and it is pretty disturbing. Romulans do not get 3 lines of ships like the Fed does, or like the KDF does -- they get exactly one line of ships, the Warbirds. Warbirds globally get battlecloack and Singularity Cores -- but also have lower turn rates, and -10 to…

Christopher Allen Lloyd, aka Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and Commander Kruge, is alive & perfectly capable of doing his own voice work. Just sayin'.

I had this bug also; as well as another one. At the beginning of Temporal Ambassador, when requesting clearance to dock at the Tholian base my character is shown as the ship I flew into the mission. Once the ground map loads, all is well.

Tried the -enablerawinputsupport 0 workaround and only had partial success. Submitted crash report to cryptic, but here is what happened: I changed the options as directed and told the launcher to Engage on Tribble; got to the monitor adjust screen & made relevant changes -- mouse seemed to work fine; the Cryptic loading…
-
I like a lot of the suggestions on this thread -- especially the costume & emote options. What I'd really like to add to the C-store wish-list is the Radiometric Converter, the TR-116 Sniper Rifle, and the Automated Defense Turret -- all updated to be scale reasonably with the character, as well as being non-unique / equip…
-
This is a brilliant concept -- being able to stay at one particular tier or level seems like it could be very useful to role-players. This doesn't really cost cryptic much, and selling them could even lead to revenue... maybe they will consider it. I have one caveat though; how does xp interact with fleet projects? Doesn't…
-
As above, but I don't get to the character creation screen. The first thing I encounter on Tribble is the "Adjust your monitor's settings" screen -- the one where you adjust the color of the background against the black, dark grey, and light grey lines of text. There is no way to select anything, and no way to exit --…

Warning, long post. Having just read the thread (yes, all 53 pages -- whew) I would like to add my 0.02 ECr worth. This reply may be rather lengthy -- in section A I'll comment on some of the reference document; in B I'll suggest a few concepts of my own. [rant on how sci-fi writers routinely TRIBBLE up basic nomenclature…

The slider should not slide to a set maximum number; but to whatever is the maximum stack size of the item you are buying. * Buying Vulcan Spiced Tea (max stack size of 20)? Slider maxes out at 20. * Buying basic commodities (max sack size of 250)? Slider maxes out at 250. * Buying Eludium-Q13 Explosive Space Modulators…

Content! Mini-story arcs of 5 of 6 episodes, which include a variety of different activities and which can be viably won with several different play styles. Access to new factions -- first purchase buys basic Romulan access; another buys the ability to level Romulan captains up to level 30, etc. Similar for Cardassian,…

I have a few more features I think it would be nice to see, in no particular order: 1} Customizable floor-plans for ships and fleet StarBases, and other player structures. When choosing the interior of your starship, for example, having two or three variant layout 'skeletons' to choose from, and allow players to place the…
