For those of you complaining about the changes to Leech and Plasma Explosion consoles, I have to say this: 1) Leech was absolutely insanely powerful for its slot. You could either slot in a console that gave +5 directly to a subsystem (the normal junk dropped items), or about that to 2 subsystems (some Reputation craftable…

Make sure you're running STO under DirectX9. Cryptic's trio of games are very hit and miss with DX11. Some cards work great, others don't, and there's little reason why. Put it into DX9 just to play it safe.
-
They need to add Transwarp to all the Reputation engines. It's rather silly to 'switch out' your engine whenever you want to go fast.
-
FYI, the Tactical/Science Flagships do not have Commander of their respective types. All three ships have Commander Engineering, and then they have a LtC of their type if they're Tactical or Science. Also, for another bonus for the Presidio, it has a better Starship Mastery (+15% Crit Severity), verses Hull Regen (which is…

BUG: The Tail Length and Tail Thickness Sliders no longer do anything on Male and Female Caitians and Ferasans. Both sliders act like they are at max (all the way to the right) on ALL player characters, ALL BOffs, and ALL NPCs ALL the time. I made this exact same post...back in July of 2015. And the bug had been around for…

With chat outright broken now today, I have a feeling that Cryptic not paying their bill has come to bite them in the rear as now in game chat is completely dead (as in game and external chat use the same server). Nice work, Cryptic!
-
Before you could tell Pidgin to ignore the error - for me at least, it's outright refusing to let me connect. "Certificate for crypticspace.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid." "SSL peer presented an invalid certificate." The weird part is that not everyone is getting this error. And…

I love the " I guess for captains who like using kemocite weapons it’ll be serious" bit because Kemosite BOff powers ARE COMPLETELY UTTERLY AND TOTALLY BROKENLY OVERPOWERED (due to serious serious bugs that STILL haven't been fixed). *shakes head, sighs*
-
I know I'm back online as well. So whatever they did, things seem to be working a lot better than they did over the last few days. Thanks for keeping us informed!
-
So, CO is back up, but external chat is not. Any updates, Trendy?
-
Looking forward to seeing XMPP chat working after tomorrow's reset. Thanks for keeping us updated.
-
Thanks for getting back to us, Trendy. Here's to hoping we get a resolution as soon as possible. There's apparently a lot of us who use external chat - especially as it's a FANTASTIC feature for Cryptic's titles, and frankly something I wish EVERY MMO had!
-
So, Cryptic, anything? Two 'business days' have now passed with no CrypticChat. What's going on?
-
This, this right here. I want to see someone go nuts. See how many Kemocites they can stuff onto one ship and see if they can crash entire zones by firing off TS3.
-
So 35 runs a day (at least), at let's say 5 minutes a run (so it rounds well), is 175 minutes. Let's round that up to 180. So 3 hours. 3 hours a day, times 14 days (at least, but again, I'm going with simple numbers here), is 42 hours. In 42 hours of 'work' in STO, you made $50 in Zen. Minimum wage is just -slightly-…

That is just...insane. Wow. I'd again ask how this got past QA, but things like this clearly show there's no QA at all.
-
Wow, what an utter total failure of QA... ...again.
-
Yeah, people have asked for this for a very long time now. Sadly, it's just not going to happen.
-
Exactly. This is why everyone should install the extension so everyone can have any Title of their choosing.
-
This is by Cryptic design (for whatever reason). Somebody somewhere went and tested every single Bridge - in each one, there was always an unchanging amount of BOffs and Generic Randoms in various seats. Seems that Cryptic entirely dropped the ball with bridges.
-
Honestly, for starters, just keeping your subscription going while you level up your character is the best thing you can do. You get a ton of bonuses while subscribed, and you keep everything you've earned short of the Energy Credit Cap (the game's money) once it ends. During that time though, you're getting more BOff…

Standard 'shield regen' is absolutely useless. It triggers once every 6 seconds (so whoo, 140 or so per shield facing instead of 130 thanks to your Regen mod), and absolutely will not save you in any situation. And would take like 3 years to fully recharge, too. This is why every single ship ever (properly) built doesn't…

I thought the answer to that question was a Beam Array.
-
PWE is utterly incompetent. Keep in mind that they, and only they, are the ones who did this recent forum change. They broke and screwed up so many things it's not even funny. Don't blame Cryptic for this forum change as they had nothing to do with it. As for the comments above: 1. We asked for the forum titles we paid for…
-
Correct. They 'fight' with one another, overwriting the other buff each time either of them gets a stack. And people recommend the Iconian shield a lot because of the 3 and 4 piece bonus. That's very powerful, especially on a team.
-
That is the purpose of F2P, actually. You can spend money to make things go faster (getting more Dil quicker by buying it), but everyone can get to the same value in the end.
-
1) Pick one energy weapon type (Phasers or Disruptors, but not both). 2) Tactical consoles are always of your one energy weapon type. Never boost torpedoes. 3) Mines are utterly useless. Put in another beam array. 4) Beam arrays do more damage than torpedoes do (unless you're built for torpedoes - you're not). Get rid of…
-
IMHO, Regen shields are terrible because they have low capacity and crappy regen (despite regening faster). I mean, who actually doesn't use Emergency Power to Shields and Transfer Shield Strength and Science Team (and everything else) to regen shields an order of magnitude faster than native shield regen? Native shield…

I was able to get to the old site...somehow (I can't repeat it either) but I posted over in a thread over on CO telling people that they were in a non-existing version of the forums. Also, CM LaughingTrendy over on Reddit has noticed the issue:
