  • The Most Hated Thing STO, eh? A: Threads like this which espouse negativity. But I'll bite: rubberbanding/poor network connectivity to STO. (2nd place: GameClient.exe crashes on the Windows platform.)
  • That happened to me today on CCA: no entity in one case, no prompt to leave the map, or choose marks either. I tend to download the Tribble and Redshirt updates before logging into Holodeck. I wonder if you guys do the same. The code base is presumably different, but maybe this is the problem, esp with the CC event coming…
  • Thank you, OP. Great summary. :) As someone who wasn't thrilled with VOY, or the continued focus on VOY-based elements in STO, now I really, really like how the VOY actors were incorporated. Garrett Wang MUST return for more STO VO work. Just my opinion anyways... ;)
  • Maybe it shouldn't be a distant memory. Cryptic may want to consider either a modification to the ToS or protocols to accomodate those mourning within the STO game environment. Shatner. Stewart. Koenig. Nichols. Takei. These are just some of the Trek talent whose passing will bring together the STO community (to varying…
  • For the umpteenth time (because I'm tired of counting), the gameclient.exe (Windows platform) crashes during play. Map transition, in-game mission or STF PvE play, it happens once or twice an hour: the gameclient.exe suddenly fails. I get kicked out of STO. This has been occuring for me since February 2015. Bug reports…
  • Among the many superb Star Trek books, two personal favorites to recommend: Star Trek: Best Destiny by Diane Carey http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Best_Destiny http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Best_Destiny Star Trek: Debt of Honor graphic novel by Chris Clarement, Adam Hughes and Karl Story…
  • I'm leveling my T-6 Mat'Ha with my lvl 60 KDF ENG. I absolutely love the ship! Fast, durable (compared to my former favorite, the Qin Raptor) and loaded with firepower, esp. the cannon console. But... I miss my Fleet T5-U Mogh. REALLY miss the ship. With the right fleet consoles, I get a good turning rate. The Mogh tanks…
  • And disagreed here, too -- and siding with worffan101 on this. There's nothing wrong with celebrating Leonard Nimoy's life and accomplishments. But the needs of the many (to borrow from our beloved character's line) outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. And there are many people hurting/coming to terms with the…
  • Fortunately, there may be some retcon coming with Neil Blomkamp's forthcoming Alien-themed movie project. (See Aint It Cool News, among other sites, for details.) I share your disdain for the other two movies. Worst one, though? The Wicker Man with Nicolas Cage. Utter garbage.
  • BRAVO, patrickngo. This is another example of where the STO community shines! (Can't guarantee I'll be online, so not committing to volunteering at this time. BUT if there's a banner we can add to our sigs here, then please tell us where to get it. ;) It would be great if our resident Community Managers and various STO…
  • Given all of the good feedback here, there's an additional thread on the STO reddit to discuss this: http://bit.ly/1BOU16n Please go/share your thoughts about this topic.
  • Opt-out: YES.
  • "Thank you... Captain CONAN." (As riffed from the TOS episode "The Immunity Syndrome") :)
  • I'll second this. LOVE the shuttle event! :)
  • My top three: Star Trek (TOS): Federation Type II phaser pistol Logan's Run: The D.S. Pistol (The Sandman pistol) Battlestar Galactica (1978): Colonial pistol (Sorry, only naming 3 instead of 10.)
  • No. It has been mentioned elsewhere the episode will be available to play, as well as most of the award item options. The Kobali Uniform costume will not be available, though. And, no, it's not a dumb question. :)
  • I'm loving my FED Geneva command ship design. I'm still leveling my ROM on her Faeht, but I'm looking forward to flying the new ROM command ship designs. However, I'm still underwhelmed and unhappy with the KDF variety, especially the An'quat. Such potential for the KDF! It doesn't shine brightly like it could. For now,…
  • For further proof: Los Gatos, California was recently ranked #50 by Forbes Magazine of the most expensive places to live in the U.S. I know. I live in Los Gatos. :)
  • You mean Santa Cruz. And, no, the Lost Boys are gone. For now. ;)
  • This downtime issue needs to be addressed with the player (aka customer) base by Cryptic/PWE management. The downtime has been extended YET AGAIN... to 3:00pm PT.
  • Now we're at... 3:00pm PT. Cryptic, it's unfortunate, but you've lost this player for today.
  • As I drive home by Cryptic most days, I can tell you: Cryptic employees do not drive Ferraris. (And the CEO drives a modest car. Yes, he DOES have an assigned parking spot at the front of the building.) After months of "scheduled maintenance" which extends past the intended downtime, PWE needs to re-evaluate their IT…
  • Question: Does this affect BOTH the flow capacitor skill for Captains AND the flow capacitor consoles? Thanks for the informative post, btw.
  • If you thought the Scimitar doing a Rock 'n Roll maneuver looked awkward... ;) I think ginormous capital ships, like Enterprise-J, could work within STO. But the mission types would need to be revised to accommodate such ships. I keep thinking STO needs to expand beyond the Milky Way, perhaps going to another nearby…
  • What about a quarterly release of Exploration missions? * Create a set number of unique maps which are released once every three months. * Reward marks and/or dilithium to encourage repeat play. * Set the missions on the fringe of the new Galaxy Map. Make players travel to them. * Given the perceived limitations of the…
  • Have a hackathon, Cryptic. Give yourselves a few bugs to squash, have the community vote on which ones they'd like fixed the most (based on your list), then hold an event to report on how it's progressing. I think you'd see a LOT of happy players who feel STO is getting better attention/love. Great customer service. Have a…
  • Well said, OP. /10chars
