The real answer is that the people responsible for these decisions simply do not care. This is further demonstrated by class names like Excelsior II and Constitution III. Leaving the Excelsior II to the side, there are several obvious class names that would be a better fit than Constitution III an they would still evoke…
Tribble Grenades! Chemical Burn Blast! Pocket Assault Tribbles that spit a chemical that does Chemical Burn damage. Tribble Torpedoes that have a slightly greater chance of penetrating shields and have a Physical DOT as they chew on a ship's hull until they die in space. Lobi Tribble: This would not produce Lobi for your…
I don't want to get into specific things that have happened since my goal isn't to throw dirt at anyone, even in private. I have a hypothetical in mind and since I'm going into the game to play around for a while I'll grab a UI screenshot to demonstrate and DM you the scenario, since it would be rather off topic to…
This was clear from the title of the thread. Question for the Forum Moderators: Wouldn't intentionally taking forum topics out of context violate the following rule? (I'm not pointing at rattler2. I've seen this behavior here before from users.) Flaming and/or Trolling You may not post content which contains insults to…
Based upon the observable evidence (the image of Lt. Valeris and the images of the in-game models in the original post, plus the image I'm posting here) it is clear from the existence of the details on the headband on the in-game model and the lack of details on the headband worn by Ensign T'Lyn that Lt. Valeris was, in…
How about new crafting recipes that allow us to change the color (not the effects, energy type, or visual effects) of our ground and space energy weapons? On "regular" weapons (drops or standard vendor purchases) this color change could be repeated indefinitely, while on Lobi, Zen (including weapons purchased from packs or…
I'll appreciate the mods stepping in under such circumstances. To the phoenixc bit quoted here, I think it's less because he's a male and more because he's a Vulcan. Of course, that may depend upon which iteration of Spock we are talking about. For clarity, I'm including TOS Spock, as that is where most of he character and…
(I posted my comment before typing my comment. Coffee is our friend.) If it turns into a flame fest it will not be by my hand and I have made it quite clear that my interest does not lie down that path. Meanwhile, I appreciate your insights. Thanks!
As I stated in my original post in this thread, this is not just so we can all take shots at each other. I'm looking for insight. If you have any insight regarding the topic of this discussion please feel free to contribute. Otherwise, thank you for the off-topic insight you have provided.
I'd say they need to figure out how to make outfits that aren't a study in clipping first. It's so bad that I'd say I'm only getting about 60-70% of the advertised value for the last 3(ish) outfits I've spent resources on and at least one of the older outfit parts, Starfleet Accademy Skirt, has developed a clip that didn't…
I had an idea for these Events in which we get the option to Bounty Hunt in addition to the TFO options similar to how some of the Endeavors work. So the Events would include: Theme Specific TFO #1 Each Day for X Number of Days Theme Specific TFO #2 Each Day for X Number of Days Theme Specific TFO #3 Each Day for X Number…
I have made a bug report with all the details I could gather on the subject at the link if you would like a better idea of what's happening. https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1272951/tfo-difficulty-level-selection-error I also provided a video to darkbladejk who has been quite helpful. This was…
Now that a pop-up has been mentioned, how about a a pop-up that informs the player that there is a bug that will jump them to a higher difficulty level than the one they've selected when chossing top play a random TFO? Or perhaps a clear notification in the UI itself.
I believe that most of those will qualify as Word-of-Mouth. Plus, in all but 1.5 of the hits your search produced (their own website and social media) they have no control over the messaging, unless we're looking at a Corruption in Gaming Journalism scenario which I tend to doubt. I say, "1.5" because of the dynamic of…
I'm not claiming to have any details about budgeting for this game, but it occurs to me that someone thinks that Celebrity Casting should be the primary focus rather than advertising and other considerations. Even then the only advertising I see (I don't ever search for STO because, you know, I'm already in) is the…
Agreed. I would add that even if those customers are banned there is no harm in them retaining the ability to read these forums, or at least no harm in the aforementioned banned customers reading official notifications posted to these forums.
Like leemwatson, this will be my final comment on the matter as a continuation of the subject could easily become... Feisty. Thank you all for your participation in this discussion. I have found your comments to be most informative. Good Day to you!
Non-sequitur, Ace. You will observe, if you check, that the series of questions form a progression that starts with the phrase, "Should we..." not, "Can we..." To put it in simpler terms, the following two questions, though similar in their construction, are asking two very different things: Can we implement a Death…
The part I find most interesting on the subject of the use of Artificial Intelligence is that many of the respondents are so caught up in their own superciliousness that they've provided a technical answer to a series of philosophical questions. I have found this unintended result to be quite illuminating.
I considered that, but the topic popped into my head as a result of the original post, without which my post loses some context. Plus I couldn't decide if General or Ten Forward would be the appropriate section for such a topic. Plans, on the other hand, do change from time to time. This may be a useful discussion in the…
This raises some interesting questions and ideas: 1. Should AI be used to "sort" the game code? 2. Should AI be used to detect bugs so they can be more efficiently dealt with by developers? 3. Assuming Question 2 works, should AI be used as an "Early Warning System" to detect bugs before updates go live? 4. How long would…
