  • Technically speaking, you can't get to the Delta Quad until you've gone through the storyline to a certain point. You can however SKIP the missions leading up to the Delta stuff if you like, but I would seriously recommend that if this is your first time playing through, run every thing in order. One other thing to…
  • Seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, THIS seems like a good idea. Tomorrow it'll be T7 ships and having to buy upgrades so we can make our T6 ships into T6-U's. And then they'll create another half faction with the Cardassians and when they are added into the half Romulan faction, players will finally have their full…
  • Tell that to the newer Lockboxes. Yup, I spent pretty much every minute of my playing time last year on Risa. Last year my routine was... 1. Running the daily every day to unlock the new ship on one alt and save up for this year. 2. Running it twice on EVERY alt so they could have access to the ships if the mood hit. 3.…
  • Okay, I said it the other day that the ships that were shown were 'TRIBBLE'. After seeing all the ships now, I was right that the ones shown *were* TRIBBLE. The other 6 range from TRIBBLE to very nice. I'll break down *my* opinion of the LOOK of the ships going from worst to best. I'll start out with... The Romulan ships…
  • Yay, new T6 Escorts for everyone! Too bad they (so far) look like TRIBBLE. Pass.
  • I'm starting to wonder if perhaps with this new Delta Recruit event that's coming up if there may be a few new races offered for players. After all, the Iconians are a threat to everyone so gaining some new allies, in the form of new playable races, would kinda make sense. Xindi and Suliban would be good additions to any…

  • Perhaps the Heralds are the Sphere Builders from Enterprise? Just a guess. This sphere doesn't look anywhere near the size of a Dyson Sphere so... maybe? Hard to get a real sense of the size without something to give scale. Anyway, I look forward to trying it out on Normal at least. I just hope it's fun because I'll have…
  • *sigh* Some nice looking abilities coming with the Pilot Specialization becoming a Primary. A shame I'll probably never be able to use them myself. Considering I have at most 13 Spec points on any single alt, filling out even a Secondary specialization at this point is months if not years away for me. I mean, I know I can…
  • Personally, I don't have a main. I am an altaholic. I have too many ideas in my head to ever really focus on a single one. Granted, I can only play one character at a time, but I'm able to do that by setting a goal and reaching it. Once the goal is reached, time to move on. I've been like this since before MMO's. It goes…
  • And am I seeing this right, that the Command ships, while not getting the 20% discount are on sale so soon after going live? I do need to get my eyes checked (no joking, my appointment is next week) so I just want to be sure I'm actually seeing this correctly. 15% may not be 20%, but that they are going on sale at ALL gets…
  • Good thing for the patch and maintenance taking longer than normal today as it gave me time to think about this thread. Almost forgot about it this last month and it's almost at the 30 day limit before it becomes a necro-thread. Or maybe it's a bad thing, depending on your opinion of this thread. Either way, I'm posting.…
  • The Omega mini game has been bugged in one way or another since day one. While I personally don't have a problem with the Dust to Dust mission, several others have. The lag, the other non-Omega mini game bugs... perhaps we can get back to fixing things instead of just throwing more things on the already weak foundation…
  • No, I'm not tired of the bonus XP event. The "bonus" XP events should be permanent, at least post lvl 50. The amount of XP needed to level from 50-60 is insane, add in the fact they want us to get Spec points (so we can all have a reason to buy the new "X" Spec tree based ships), but they make getting XP so slow. I believe…
  • Yup, I see all these patches since the Anniversary event went live have done nothing to prevent the game from ending early. I click on the 'Begin Game' button and more than half the time the game ends before I even reach 100 points. Usually when it ends early like this, it's near instant and I wind up with 0 points,…
  • Thought it was just me having difficulty. Sorta glad I'm not alone. I'd be happier if there were no issue, but at least someone at Cryptic, if not STO, is willing to let players know what's going on. Was hoping to get in today before lunch, guess that's not going to happen now. Oh well, maybe after lunch.
  • You have to start over at zero, just like everyone else. Old progress is only good for titles and the Aegis DOff, as darkjeff pointed out. Memory Alpha is also closed, you can no longer enter orbit or beam down, it is now just a point on the map and has no relevance currently. You need to get to lvl 15 in the appropriate…
  • I have to say, I think those Romulan ships look pretty snazzy. Too bad I really hate Romulan ships and being stuck with Sing cores and having -40 power. I get that it makes them unique, but it also keeps me from playing and enjoying them. Hence I won't be getting them. The Klingon ships look like a bunch of garbage scows.…
  • Add me to the list. I too am trying to train the Delta Intel BOffs in regular Engineering, Tactical and Science skills, and having no luck. I can buy the manuals and get the confirm button saying it'll cost X expertise, but it does nothing. This is on a Fed/Rom, haven't tried any other Captains as of yet.
  • I do have a few more questions, if anyone would care to answer them. I was chatting with some folks the other day and they mentioned that the Mods on weapons stack their effects. Like if you slot 8 beam arrays and all of them have CrtDx3, one of the people was under the impression that would make the over all damage for…
  • Agree. As many problems as I have with the game currently, this is something that I personally don't see as one of them.
  • I could be mistaken, but it looks like there were some misplaced decimals there. I'm sure it's meant to read 20,000 R&D Pool for the small and 100,000 for the large. Also, the Zen price seems to suffer from almost the total opposite problem, since I'm sure it's meant to say 20 Zen for the small and 80 Zen for the large.…
  • Agree. This is something that has been asked for since the system went live. Probably was asked for even when in beta. Is it needed? No, but it would probably mend some fences at the least. Will we see it? Not likely.
  • Adding to the "no particles in Bajor Space" section. So far I've tried the daily with 3 alts, all 3 got Bajor space and can't complete the daily. For the second day in a row. And now with it essentially being the weekend I guess the earliest we can hope this gets fixed is sometime Monday. Joy. :rolleyes: Edit: Make that…
  • I'll add my voice, well, words, to those who have already spoken up. My mission says Bajor (Space), there are no particles in Bajor space and even going to Bajor ground and trying there does nothing. No particles in Bajor (Space) means not able to complete the daily. Both alts I've tried it with so far today have gotten…
  • Yeah, I'm finding difficult to finish my daily when all I have left to do is collect the particle from Bajor space. No particles means no finish. 2 days in a row now and unable to do the daily. I think I'll just run Dust to Dust to get my 40 Qmendations* for my alts instead of even bothering with this stupid trace hunt…
  • Funny thing about the possibility of people trying to complete their patching that may be causing all this lag, you could try and do a, oh, I don't know, a pre-patch system. That way players could download large patches like this and keep the bandwidth from being hit hard on the day the patch is released and following days…
  • There's a BOff reward for this mission? I saw no BOff in the reward screen. Let me guess, it's broken/bugged? :rolleyes:
  • No Qmendations from Party Patrol anymore. They moved those over to the Omega Particle trace mini game exclusively. Which is bugged. I wish they'd allowed us to PICK where we want to get the Qmendations from instead of forcing us into this new game. I get that there are some people (those who are color blind come to mind)…
  • I got the mission and the first place I went was Vulcan (Space). I get there and there are dozens of other folks there trying to scan the traces as well. Scan, start the game, no score. Scan again, start the game, no score. Scan a third time, can you guess what happened? Yeah, no score. I sat in zone for a few minutes and…
  • For me, I'm having a heck of a time in the ground portion of the mission when you need to shoot nodes to extend walkways. I picked the "Normal" setting and was informed I'd have 8 seconds on each platform before it retracts. I shoot a node, step on the walkway and before I'm even able to target the next node the one I'm on…
