  • First and foremost, ONE colour palette for all uniform/armour/costume options. The inconsistency is maddening and I've never heard any reason given as to why there's so many disparate colour pallets. Despite creating newer, expanded more vibrant pallets some new items still come out with the old, limited and muddier…
  • I was able to claim the pack from the in-game store on my main character. I don't recall which tab it was under for certain. I'm thinking 'Promotions' maybe? They start you with a ship (T-5U bug ship) so you can carry on, Alfredyou!​​
  • Same here. I'm unable to create a Jem'Hadar Vanguard despite purchasing the pack on Friday, June 1st. The purchase shows on my account history. NB: I use Steam to play STO.​​
  • The patch servers have been slow/malfunctioning for several days now. At one point yesterday (there's a thread on it here) they crapped out entirely leaving some people with on-demand patching turned on, myself included, stuck on loading screens. I ran a trace route and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Can we maybe…
  • I love the premise, hazards & map and when combat actually occurred, I enjoyed myself. That said, the wait times between rounds is broken to the point of ridiculousness. Why on Earth would this be released in this state? Such a shame as this could have been a fun event to promote ground combat but as-is, all it's…
  • In theory I like the idea of identical consoles not stacking anymore. Not so sure about eliminating buffs of a certain type stacking though and for a whole host of reasons i.e., trying to decide exactly which console/piece of ship equipment to use would be analysis paralysis hell. One of the biggest boons to eliminating…
  • Is it possible that the toggle for the flashlight can be found on the powers list ('P' by default)? I see no mention of you checking the list so I thought it might be worth a mention. Not everything is automatically added to the power tray.​​
  • Ah, thank-you! And an extra thanks for not making me feel like a bigger boob than I already do. :smiley: That goes for you too, Reyan01!​​
  • I'm sure I'm going to wind up feeling silly for this but what the heck is a Command Assault Cruiser (the one with the Metreon Launcher)? I was sure I had every Assault Cruiser variant but I have not heard of this ship or it's console before. The Regent comes with the Metreon Gas Canister Console so where's the launcher?…
  • No one else has noticed any kind of oddities with their character's Hitpoints and how bonuses are being applied?​​
  • I think there might be more going on than just [HP] being bugged. I have a Delta kit with the [HP] mod and my Iconian armour gives +223hp. My HP has been 1486 for some time now (with all the other modifiers I have that give a boost to my HP). This morning I bought a kit with the [Armour] mod (but no [HP] mod) and upon…
  • While I voted Alpha, I realized after that I did so without knowing which end is the front. Having read through the thread to this point I see I'm not the only one with this issue. Given that voting is only for 24 hours maybe someone from Cryptic can let everyone know asap so people can make an informed decision. Further,…
  • The ability to fill in your points and build your tree before committing your points is essential and has been standard in MMOs for a long time (including this one). Changing things to a point by point basis feels really hack-kneed and backwards and ultimately, unjustifiable. I look forward to this over-site being…
  • I think what might be being missed here in the discussion is that there is no real 'bad' and 'good' guys in a war only opposing goals/viewpoints. Both sides in any such conflict will have both done things that can be considered 'good' and heroic and 'bad' and reprehensible; all in the name of winning the conflict. Having…
  • I believe the Vaadwaur costume is 150 Lobi currently. Either way, it's 50 less Lobi than the other costumes for some reason. It's a great set that's useable with a number of different items and the mask works really well with the Delta Reps 'headphones' gear.​​
  • This is making my head hurt...Is there really no official word on what players should be expecting with regards to excess specialization points? I maxed out all of the specializations (without trying I assure you; it is far too easy to gain levels in STO but that's a separate issue) and have continued to earn spec points…
  • It was tough trying to pick a 'favourite' as I like different reps for different reasons. In the end I went with the Dyson rep as that ground BZ is just so much fun. It's also rewarding, cool looking, engaging and dynamic. Basically the exact opposite of the Badlands BZ. Gear-wise, the Iconian Rep stuff is fantastic. I…
  • Excellent, thank-you OP and all tip providers for taking the time to share this info. I struggled last year before throwing my hands up and walking away. Armed with these tips I'm confident I'll get this years ship with a minimum of fuss. Thanks again!​​
  • I love that I can buy Count Chocula cereal again. Although I suspect they've taken all the dangerously unhealthy and therefore tasty ingredients out.
  • I understand the limitations regarding boosting the Proton damage but is there no real benefit to rear facing 180°, rapid fire/spread cannon fire available from the Experimental Proton weapon?
  • That may be how it was designed but that's not how it's working. No hyperbole, more than 80% of my missions are weighted Sci or have a +Sci event (and only +Sci) that pushes the mission over the edge to be Sci heavy. Given how few Sci ships I (and apparently most people) own, this makes the system an exercise in…
  • That's the problem in a nut-shell right there. The reason players don't have any interest in utilizing their ship interiors is that they're gawd awful. Period. The scale is out to lunch, the textures are t e r r i b l e as well as the layout and assets being uncustomizable, even on a basic level. I know of no other game…
  • Didn't they do something similar with the Obelisk Warp Core as well?​​
  • Buried under the snark the OP has some good points. When the exploration missions were removed so was my sense of being an actual Starfleet captain. It's not that I don't enjoy and applaud the efforts made to improve the game it's just that none of it has given me back that sense of being in the Trek universe. I'll never…
  • Very nice, Cryptic, thanks! There's saying you're excited and then there's showing you're excited ;-) As for the show itself, I was initially concerned about it being released solely on CBS Allaccess as it's exclusively available to Americans. Meaning that as a Canadian I'd have been left out in the cold (pun fully…
  • Indeed. A hearty 'thank-you', Cryptic for the fantastic freebies! I can't ever recall in 15 years of playing MMOs such great items being given away just to say 'thanks for playing'. Free inventory space is absolutely unheard of and items such as the Ship Upgrade Token and 2 (!) free spec points are equally unprecedented.…
  • Had to go with Beta. I like what's going on with the nacelles being attached to the saucer/hull and the funky saucer with the wide set impulse engines. Plus, there's already more than enough ships that look like the Alpha currently in game so I appreciate the variety Beta adds.
  • I'm intrigued with what I've heard so far regarding Season 11 and I'm thinking it's time to start giving us some more details. You guys did a great job whetting our appetite for what's to come but we're getting to that point where you start turning and looking at the kitchen wondering where the hell your food is. :wink:
  • Oh man that was funny. I think it's very fitting that to wrap-up the Iconian arc, you conclude with a story that spot lights the humour that is not always readily apparent in cultural differences. To those who think this is somehow calling out Federation worlds as cowards, I think you missed the point. No side is right or…
