Once again, reminding Cryptic that they're ignoring a huge portion of their player base. Why are all the flash sales at a single timezone? Can we please have them run for 24 hours, or have them run in timezones other than 10-18 PST? Let the people working and sleeping actually have a half decent shot at getting them.
-
Just missed this one, again, like every other one so far because I didn't decide to check STO first thing in the morning. I'm guessing those earlier discussions about the timing of flash sales amounted to 'change nothing'? The idea of regular flash sales is fine, but you have a global audience. We work and sleep just like…

It wouldn't take much coding insanity, at least no more than they already use. Depending on faction, Roms can use either the Fed or KDF Borg boffs afterall, and Fed or KDF ships.
-
Which just makes the idea of the flash sale even more ridiculous. Most people are either going to be asleep, at work/school/etc, or going between them in an 8 hour period. Either way, the majority are not going to be checking STO in an 8 hour block.

I would have bought a couple of packs, but since I don't live in the right region...
-
Playing missions on Elite at least felt like they were somewhat rewarding, and you could at least almost play most of the DR missions one after another rather than having to run off and grind away somewhere. Now it's back to Elite being completely useless. The experience rewards are miniscule compared to the amount of time…

Nothing new there. Players using the PvP system to make millions of dilithium ore quickly didn't cop anything. Players who created new characters, got them to level 11, dismissed all their doffs to receive the boatload of refined dilthium to transfer or sell didn't cop anything either. Not like you could claim that you…
-
Honestly, I don't know why they didn't just give us a normal token. It's not like we could have gotten more than one anyway, and I don't see the added bit of flexibility causing any problems.
-
I have lifetime. Would I buy it now if I didn't already have it? Absolutely not. DR was a mixed bag. There was some fun in there, but more than enough bleh that would turn me away from buying LTS even if I was considering it before. Once again, Tribble got used for testing, and the bug reports were predominately ignored.…

Since it hasn't been posted here yet, http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=20191171&postcount=9 Pretty disappointed about that, but it's no longer 'all rewards.'
-
So we get to go back to the 'good old days' where if you weren't specced for DPS (ie, not in a sci ship) you'd almost universally be reviled in a STF? Yay. And we get half as much for doing even more? Fantastic! I guess I'm going to strike doing a couple of STFs off my daily list of things to do. Going to really suck for…
-
A #DeltaRising pack? I could go for that.
-
I was expecting something pretty terrible from how the OP framed it, but reading it, I don't really see the big fuss about it. So he starts off with that STO is still alive. No surprise to us because we play it, sure. But to other people? They're probably barely aware that it's still running as well. As he points out, the…
-
You literally sent my own link showing liquid nitrogen freezing by lowering the pressure, which includes an explanation about why, but apparently I'm the one that doesn't know how fluids in a vacuum works? I'll just presume you're trolling.
-
He got blown out of a hull breach. No torpedo casing for him, unless they went back for the body so they could throw it out again properly.
-
I pointed out the spacesuit as evidence that heat does indeed transfer in space. Heavily insulating a spacesuit wouldn't be required if heat couldn't be transferred. No, freezing does not require moisture in the air to condense and turn into ice. It requires the average kinetic energy of the molecules to be low enough that…
-
I suspect that Harry Kim might want to retrieve Harry Kim's body if at all possible. But the Vidiians might have gotten to it first. Incorrect. I'll point you to the heavily insulated space suits we use. There's no convection, certainly, but there is still radiative heat transfer. You will freeze -eventually- if you're in…
-
It was the signal to retreat he said he couldn't see when he raised the telescope to his right eye. "You know, Foley, I have only one eye. I have a right to be blind sometimes. I really do not see the signal" It may be verbatim, but it's still quote mining. The actual quote in context isn't as bad as the out of context…
-
I'd say it's only the 'original' because it's the one that survived. William Riker is more likely to be considered the original compared to Thomas, because he's the one that spent 8 years with civilisation, even though they both have equal claim to being the original.
-
It may be that the Borg aren't able to support so many drones in an area without the supporting infrastructure. Largely just speculating here, but within Borg space, they use the Unimatrices like routers, limiting their expansion. They push out, then have to stop to build new routers to keep the collective whole. In order…

I've been missing my Liberated Borg Reman Bridge Officer on one of my Romulan characters for about a year. It's not in my Bridge officer list, the candidate list, inventory, bank or overflow bag. There's no option to reclaim it or the Reman Duty Officer Mini-pack, even though it was stated in the claiming process post that…
-
I've been running PUG Elite STFs with white Mk Xs, only C-store ship consoles and no traits on a couple of fresh 50s. I'd say we get the optional at least 90% of the time with only basic coordination, and I haven't even had a single person grumble about how many colours I'm throwing out there in the two months I've been…
-
The consoles were useful. Sure, you could get drops that were better, but it was a good, cheap way (pre-dil tax at least) of getting Mk XI blues. While some consoles you could get from missions as rewards, many you couldn't. Kits were the same, you could build yourself a good Mk X purple kit while you wait for a better…

It's good to see Cryptic generally listened to Tribble Feedback. We said that the new Doff UI is pretty bad and the old one is more usable, but they gave us the new one anyway. We said that being able to order multiples of a component would be a great idea, instead of building each component one at a time. So they didn't…
-
My guess is the person who originally added the Aegis set, named it for the mythical protection/shield. Fast foward to today where someone else is looking at it, and not realising the significance of the name, presumes that the Aegis set was named after the inventor. I really hope they change the professor's name, or just…
-
My thoughts exactly. Though I'd also let the guys where skirts too. No reason to limit it to the ladies, and you just can't play the bagpipes properly without a good pleated skirt either.
-
Why not? A skirt is perfectly functional for most work on a ship. I don't need to keep my legs protected from the environment on the bridge after all. Armour for when you're expecting unpleasantries, skirts for all other times.
-
I disagree. Most of the feedback that I've read I've felt was entirely legitimate and on topic. Some people may or may not be just be parroting what others have said without looking at Tribble, but I can't say I've seen many complaints about things that aren't in the system. I'd say most people who can be bothered to come…
-
That it's 'in alpha/beta' doesn't change the feedback. We can only give feedback on what we're given, not what it might end up being like. That more recipes might be added, or systems might get changed isn't relevant, regardless of any history that Cryptic has on delivering on promises. We have this UI and this system of…
-
Whatever you do Cryptic, please don't change the Doff UI to this. It's a worse design that takes up more room and returns less information. I can't see how this new UI could possibly be better than the current UI. Anything I say will just be echoing what others have already said better. Don't change the UI just for the…
