  • In theory its the laws of supply and demand, in MMO's its more like greed & flippers because there are those who think that having bajillions in currency you can only use in that game is winning even though there's nothing to spend that currency on other than other peoples exchange offerings. Every game like sto with a…
  • The TFO is also popular because its quick and dirty requiring zero thought. In comparison the actual new TFO Guillotine has over a minute of gather up timer rather than 30 secs of SB1, completion can vary by 5 minutes or more if the folk wearing dps blinkers can't see the progress bars going down instead of up (or the…
  • Going by the sector space it's at a nearby star system rather than within sol
  • Splodeyballs hints that the mirrorborg aren't as into efficiency as the regular ones or that they played STO as part of their preparation to invade and knew that's what their ships would be doing. The odd thing is it does seem as though nuking them down too fast for the suicide to trigger no longer causes a warpcore breach…
  • The jefferies tube dangler would have been better triggered off the player rather than relying on a slow walking NPC eventually arriving. They're already in sight so should have had a voice over asking for help then as you get close they get pulled down or even have them pulled down midway as you hit a prompt to rescue.…
  • Not much of a reimagining when its just swapping one faction of baddies for another. The assimilators appear and do nothing to warrant the name, they should come a wave sooner and beam into the starbase to drain/convert its crew as a healthbar it goes down. The defenders then have to destroy them while beaming over…
  • Replacing an iconic design with a window squeegee so you can make the known ones better is fair enough IF you do both at the same time. Although I kind of suspect that by tougher it will be some immunity nonsense combined with massive hit point pool, perhaps with some visual spam to add to the rest of the junk on screen.…
  • Was fairly sure we didn't although by that point in the episode I'd stopped paying much attention. I also missed the final cutscene because the prompt was to leave system which made me assume it was a map transition of some kind as has been done in the past where we warp from a to b then transport to c to say hello &…
  • They gave up on the MMO trinity a fair while back and probably won't ever return to it
  • The borg red alert no longer has their iconic cube? Should we maybe expect a name change to Mirrorverse fanfic online
  • Another episode with zero replay since there's only a single reward item which does the exact same as the built in for the omega rep sets and you don't need to give them to your ground crew. Plus by design its been drawn out much longer than it should have been. Time padded poking of a panel while nothing else happens to…
  • Why explore when everything in the galaxy happens at starbase-1? At this stage surely some admiral must be thinking its a good idea to shove it into a blackhole
  • I believe they preempted you by having every security door require and entirely different code. And there was also the bit where a crewman, that kim knew by name, was forced to wait for him to slowy walk up before being yoinked down to their death. While only moments before he was rushing ahead like a noob and standing…
  • Complete immunity to batleths, can't even slap them to the ground Omega set is now a 3secs recharge rather than instant, not sure about the cooldown. As I suspected when I first saw this change coming, the button will randomly vanish from the bar meaning that while the game is screaming at you to remodulate you can't…
  • The unwanted lurking entries in the task manager seemed to have been fixed after last thursdays maintenance. However the original issue of the updaters loop of dismay is still going strong. Tried logging in just now (UK, 18th july) went to fix my lunch and came back to see it had gone into another loop, exact number of…
  • After todays purge I now have 6 sat there, including the three from yesterday, and noticed that when end tasking them a new entry pops back up almost immediately
  • No real surprise since its the same engine and launcher for them Currently have 3 entries sat in task manager refusing to be end tasked unlike the other couple from todays round of risa
  • 25 entries in task manager! Cryptics less than stellar QA strikes again
  • 9th July, there's been another launcher update since yesterday and once again its loopy time
  • Happening again with todays (6th july) launcher update. Caught it looping the first time around and killed it rather than have it chug through the same 100 megs over and over
  • I've used voice attack with sto but for anything involving keybinds more complex than a single key press then best forget about it unless you're somehow blessed by not having the game require multiple attempts before a command is accepted.
  • Dislike for the new makes sense when the new is done in such a hamfisted way that it obscures the point of a character select screen allowing you to actually see the character, ship and crew you want to select! Pretty picture yes but not added into the game in a competent manner.
  • The new tfo would be improved if the inquisitor stopped burbling all the sodding time, not that easy to listen to at the best of times and if its a voice that's meant to convey useful information during noisy combat then having the distortion going all the time is the kind of idea that should have been squashed after the…
  • If a money sink isn't a long term option the best it will do is cause the exchange to have a hiccup. A soon as anyone interested in the new dil based purchases are done the sink loses its purpose.
  • Only reason that message exists is to lure the more gullible players into burning money on gambleboxes. Before I opted to boycott the store entirely I'd drop some of my LTS stipend on a key sale and have actually had ships which provoked similar messages being sent asking to buy for a pittance or pleading poverty to beg it…
  • For the love of spock why does every patch have to be 15 gigs? Bad enough at the beginning of an event but 27hours of a download during one, no thanks, and this is the third in a row now. Upside is I now have a bit more space on the PS4's hard drive
  • Kamikaze maru event today, 4 timeouts while trying to log in. A good 30 secs or more before being able to even move from onna's counter outside quarks in to by the dabo table which was a constant rubber banding back to the counter. Had dabo as a daily endeavour and it too another 20-30 secs for leeta to respond and for…
  • This is like the elite captain tokens, pointless power creep! And just like those tokens should have been used as a dil sink to try to undo the damage caused to the exchange by the stupidly hard and rapidfire push of expensive zen ships just before the gearbox takeover. If they turn up for free I might get around to using…
  • I stopped putting money into the game when the greedonomics started speeding up a few years ago. Due to the impact their actions had on the dilex I see no reason to move away from a pure f2p style that doesn't even trade gems for the cash shop, something made easier by the aforementioned greedonomics that predictably…
  • Thread list should just be kept to titles and not have the first few lines of text thrown in for no particular reason. Could be worse, for example the revamp ubisoft did to their forums last year.
