"DOOM!" threads and comments in these forums are outrageously funny to me. I heehaw like a donkey at some of them. To quote James T., "People can be very frightened of change.". Kinda makes you wonder what the doomsayers do when they discover the Circle K is out of Cheetos and Diet Dew. XD

This is something which has occurred to me. I get the 'Map Transfer Failed' error message until I warp out or beam to my ship. Sometimes it takes the game a bit to place me into the Event TFO. Frustrating for others already playing the Event and myself. I've seen no pattern to the error and I've no idea what causes it.

Amused to see this thread still going. More amused by all the, "One Ring to Bind Them All", suggestions. Like vote/kick. Or gear/DPS check. I have a suggestion, too. Ready? Here goes. Once someone successfully completes any TFO on Elite, they should be blocked from doing TFOs on either Normal or Advanced ever again. Since…

@"phoenixc#0738" Me stating incorrectly it is a LockBox ship is irrelevant to its being in the game. Calling it an active bastion tank and claiming people are using it wrong does not change the fact it is possible to turn on the bubble, go do something else and then come back to collect the TFO rewards. The ship's…

I enjoy the episodes where I play as someone else. QL7 was hilarious the first time I played it. I spent more time laughing and reading the narratives than I did playing. The primary difference I've noticed is the lack of gear the alternative characters carry and use. Which is to be expected. Due to the dev team being…

I have a notepad beside my computer. Which has numerous things written down which I cannot recall immediately. It is nearly full. All of the pages are worn and covered in coffee stains. Learned a long time ago searching through all of my chars to find that one Console I want to place on my newest ship is slower than…

Been following this with some amusement. Which comes from the thought there are members of this player base whom are skilled enough and experienced enough they spend all their ingame time spoiling the game for everyone else. Why do people assume when things do not go exactly as they imagine, some other group of players…

Not a Prodigy fan. I'm not the target audience for it. But giving the players who are Prodigy fans their versions of characters is a good idea which I strongly support.
-
Why is it as a Captain, my officers can recommend DOffs for missions yet as an Admiral my staff remains silent on which ships to deploy? Are the Devs incapable of copy/pasting all of the Duty Officer system features over to the Admiralty? Or, as is much more likely, they're using the current badly inadequate and half done…

The Advanced Engineering Consoles will slot with Tactical Consoles from the Colony or from the Discovery Reputation. I've not found any limitation on any of the Reputation Consoles, either.

A bundle commemorating the ships which fought at Wolf 359 is a wonderful idea! And here's hoping Cryptic releases this in two versions as well. A full on version which has all the ships. As well as a "Lite" version which has the ships which I do not already have access to.

If online games banned people for going AFK, soon no one at all would be playing online games. I really enjoy playing STO. But, when Real Life intercedes, and it has done so plenty of times over the past twelve years, I'm out. Someone ran over my dog in front of my house. $600.00 in vet bills and a week later I got him…

Read all the entries in this thread. Some of them are really good suggestions. Some are even better ideas. None of them will ever be looked at. Let alone implemented. Unless... Cryptic or Gearrbox or the Embracer Group figure out a way to monetize them.
-
@jonsills There is nothing in my post about. "DOOOM!" Nowhere does it say the game will end without Cryptic immediately acting on my suggestion. Language is a precision tool and ought to be used as such. As to, ahem, "A joke... is a story with a humorous climax.". Two things: 1) Hyperbole is a legitimate form of humor.…

Just when I thought I'd seen every silly thing this game does...

Selling Starship Mastery traits directly to players means everyone will buy the same five or six, or recommend using the same five or six, or insult anyone not using the same five or six. What happens after everyone buys these same five or six?

My post was intended to be humorous. There is so little fun, joy, or laughter around here anymore. This is one of the reasons I seldom visit this place except when I am looking for something specific about a build. Too many around here simply lie camoflaged and wait for the next herd of newbies to come by. Then they lash…

The Reputation System is a horse ridden into the ground by Cryptic. We need no more Reputations. The Reputations we have now do not need to be revamped. The things the OP is asking for are not interesting. The things the OP is asking for would require far more man hours than Cryptic currently has available. This second…

AI-generated content? No, thank you. Current AI applications are expert copy/paste applications. They are not sentient. Except in some people's wishful thinking. Which means they cannot create something new deliberately. They might create something "new". Out of randomly placing together words. But it will be derivative…
-
Somebody posted earlier about improving ground mechanics. Second that. I'd like to see a complete revamp of the Player vs. Player part of the game. Something which would not be an afterthought like what we have now. Something which has better maps. Something where skill and experience matter more than money... ...what am I…

I typed < /played > into the Chat Box. Now I really wish I had not done so, lol.

One more piece of kit to clutter up my Reclaim window. yippee. hooray. One more piece of kit for the Devs to claim is overpowered and then nerf into uselessness. Just like the previous Maelstrom Torpedo. I bought the Bundle these came in because I really like both ships and the fluff on the torps sounded kinda cool. So I…

Q'sWW is something I always enjoy. Due to the silliness of it. Yeah, it's a little long in the tooth. However this doesn't detract from the fun I have visiting Q's aberrant version of a winter holiday. The Event Ship looks interesting. I'll see y'all the Pie Eating Contest or luring the Koskari out to pepper it with…

I see you only included the parts of my post you wanted to. The OP wants some sort of compensation for NOT getting something he/she wanted from opening Phoenix prize packs or Lockboxes. Why? Whenever I make the choice to spend on items such as Prize packs or Lockboxes, it is a choice on my part. I do not expect some sort…
-
Would the Lockbox ships be selling on the Exchange for the prices they are if there were not people willing to pay those prices? Would there be more ships from Lockboxes being used ingame if people were not purchasing them off the Exchange and immediately placing them back on the Exchange for a higher price? Should Lockbox…
-
Thank you for the new skins for when I use my Avenger. The new Avenger skin in particular looks very nice. The Oddy skin on the Avenger looks...odd. Looked at this Bundle when I got home from work. I thought the Legendary ships would be...Legendary. They're, "Legendary" in name only. The only difference I can see between…
-
If Cryptic added in an Advanced difficulty level to Events, players who just started playing STO would be populating the Advanced runs. "Because the rewards are better.", or, "So what if my char is only Level 10? The other four guys will do all the work anyways." I double dog dare anyone reading this to say they've not…
-
You're getting killed by Spheres detonating during the Event runs? Which have a default Difficulty Setting of Normal? How is this possible? Are you the only player with this issue? I have not seen anyone else post about this. I've not experienced anything close to what you've posted about. I've run the Event in a Hysperian…

Something which is pretty funny about all this complaining about the "new" remodulation stuff is this: Remodulating a phaser IS NOT adding a magic MacGuffin to it which allows players to slay Borg Drones with ease. Rather it is modifying how the weapon is used by changing the frequency of the beam, altering the power…
