Thanks! I'd recently learned about the Bridge Officer color/rarity and what matters is their specific traits, but I never noticed how the Duty Officers have the diagonal stripes in one corner of their icon. When you are able to get Duty Officers I think (not 100% sure) there is a brief tutorial on them. If they don't…
Another thing I thought of right after I made my post (as usual). Look at the number of Starfleet captains in command of vessels designed and built by the Breen, the Cardassians, and other races, from lockboxes and events. ESD is surrounded by them. To me, having players being able to choose ships built by…
I am going under the assumption (and I may be wrong) that Vulcans, Andorians, etc, design and build their own ships which are subsequently commissioned into Starfleet service, and become Starfleet vessels. So having these other ships available as choices is not giving them ships of a 3rd faction. They are already part of…
I would like to see the competitive race run a little more frequently than twice in 90 minutes. I just wish more people would participate in the Tides of Ice and Cones of Conduct. When you have a good number of people, it is so much more fun than just by yourself or with one other person (though in 'Tides' sometimes going…
I've been 'bumped' by a few line cutters in the past. Yes, it's annoying, but what I do is just change to a less populated instance. As some have said, sometimes what happens is the player standing at the head of the line is afk, not paying attention, and suddenly realizes it's their turn and slams the 'Hail Race Official'…
First, thank you all for your great feedback. I really appreciate it! What I am thinking of is giving the player a choice of ship type, or let the game choose one. When I said 'Vulcan' ship I didn't mean a ship crewed exclusively by Vulcans. If a Vulcan player chooses a Vulcan ship for the tutorial, it's just a ship…
That pop-up can be really annoying when you are in the middle of a solo race! It would be nice if it would not appear if you have not participated in the event.
On several occasions I have run the first race with my Lethean (I am working on building up his tags), then prior to the second race switched to different characters, then back to the Lethean and the bug persists. I can tell when the bug hits because I am repeatedly prompted to 'Join The Race'. What I do now is prior to…
I see this happening all the time. The snowmen appear for a brief second, then despawn. If the map is up, I will see a large number of red dots appear for a moment, then go away. There are a few places where snowmen respawn and remain, but it makes getting the 100 snowmen a pain. Usually, you kill the 6 or 8 by the lake,…
Duncan Idaho, Thanks for your great information. On my 3 space maps I replaced planet M01 (appears as a white ball) with M04 and I see M04 fine. I still get the 'Skipped Probe Binning - Lighting' message. You advised checking the maps to see if I had excessive items, and I counted about 24 items on one map (the planet,…
First of all, thanks VERY much for the great insights! I never paid any attention to BOFF traits before, but I've seen where they can have some effect. I really appreciate it, and I've made a number of notes. Mcduffie369 made an interesting recommendation about not giving BOFF's (I assume he means Tactical) skills like…
I don't know about all the high-end content issues yet. I'm an occasional player of STO. On for four or five months, then off for five or six. That's just me. When I come back I have to re-familiarize myself with the game, the ability icons, and so on. This time I made a Romulan character, and as it turns out starting a…
I don't know if what I have seen with a KDF mission I have (unpublished) is the same bug. When I do the 'Play Map' for one of the space maps, a Federation ship appears which has to be destroyed. But the Fed. ship always fades out before I can destroy it. I have looked on the map to see if it warped to some other location,…
I agree with the OP's idea. I was also thinking about having a very small inventory window for your bridge officers. This would be to make it easy to have a few different kinds of personal shields and body armor easily available for each BO. Right now, if you want to experiment with different armor / shield types with your…
