  • Thank you for the kind words Trizeo! And to you Kin for the twitter links! :) I feel like I owe you all a slightly more detailled explanation. The connection and performance issues are just two of many reasons why I decided to leave. I had a lot of fun and became very attached to this game, and especially the community,…
  • Captains 07 After a very long time I finally give up on STO. It wasn't easy, but it turns out that it's more frustrating than it is fun. I tried to login since the last patch. Today it finally worked for like half an hour. I transferred all my EC to Trizeo before getting disconnected again. Those of you who are on reddit…
  • Those numbers look like it's the stock CPU cooler. Then 45-70ish is totally fine. But I didn't see that OP uses water cooling. Now I think OP might have overclocked too much/wrong, and that's what causes the PC shutdown. Good point @salvation4
  • It only touches events that have a ship as reward. So Anniversary, Winter and Summer Event. As I understood it it goes live with this years Summer Event, so in about two days depending on where your are on the globe.
  • I absolutely agree. I'm glad I managed to finish all projects before this is going live. It's STUPIDLY expensive. Once again someone at Cryptic had their I-See-What-I-Want-To-See-Glasses on and saw the community asking for old Event ships being made available via Lobi. That person failed to see that we were talking about…
  • I didn't want to imply that it's impossible to be an issue related to your hardware and STO not working properly together (in fact, I am one of the players having a LOT of issues with STO, and only STO, despite my hardware technically being more than capable of running the game). However, your PC shutting down can have…
  • If you use a third-party application to control your fans it might be bugged and shut the PC down when it shouldn't. I would try switching it off and using AMDs built-in CPU management to see if the issue persists. You could also run a very resource intensive benchmark while having an eye at your temparature monitor to…
  • Will this have any consequences for those players that are still unable to claim their 2014 Anniversary ship on their alts, despite having it completed and claimed on one toon this year? As far as I see it it's the same issue we had 2015 until a one-time workaround was implemented. I really don't see why the same can't be…
  • Arc Defender is nonsense as it just replaces one vulnerability with a different one (and it's one that PWE has no control over). Instead of your Arc password being the weak spot it's now your eMail password... I fail to see how this makes anything safer.
  • What gear is or is not good to use is less a matter of strict regulations than it is of general consensus among STB captains. While @trizeo1 always has the last word and the power to veto he seldom uses that power. I think the last time we got a definitive "no-go" was green phaser beams. For both the Gravimetric and the…
  • First of all: Welcome to the canoneers e30ernest and sirerblington! e30ernest: I am VERY excited that you are interested in the canon playstyle. While science builds seem to be perfect for canon loadouts, as they, at first glance, seem less dependant on weapon chice, I always struggled with them. Most Science builds seem…
  • TR-116 update is awesome! Really, I've been waiting for this for so long. I have no skills (haha) and still hit around 60k in ISA PuGs. I'd like to try an HSE before spending any skillpoints. If I survive well enough there I'll probably go all offensive in the Skill tree. Unlocking the Tac Cooldown Reductions is very…
  • Due to real life I unfortunately was unable to log in much on saturday. But we had some really awesome Triathlon runs yesterday, I'd like to thank everyone who participated! Everyone played fair so we didn't even need a referee at the finish line, which meant I was able to participate in the races (out of competition of…
  • Welcome back! :) Star Trek Battles is an open channel now, so you don't need an invite anymore. Just type in /channel_join Star Trek Battles and you can pewpew with us. It's a perfect time to come back as this weekend we will be celebrating the channel's 2nd birthday! INFO ON THE STB BIRTHDAY EVENT I decided against having…
  • (intentional double-post) My bank toon just got a pretty awesome supply drop from trizeo. Still looking for ideas. nayone really savvy with Trek Canon could make a quiz? I'd also like to use this as an opportunity to get more captains into the STB channel. Or at least increase awarenss of what we do. But to not clutter up…
  • We survived quite a lot of "forum fires" without moderator intervention, and yes it IS pretty awesome :)
  • Happy 2nd STBirthday everyone! We are not really sure when our beloved Admiral Trizeo started this thread, but it was sometime in February 2014. To give us some time I hereby propose we designate the last weekend of February as the official Star Trek Battles Birthday. That would be February 27nd/28th this year. Joining…
  • Hey Captains! o7 Well, talking about about DPS... I hit 79k the other day, which finally got me into the 75k channel with an STB build, which I've been working on for months! (when stoacademy is up again here it is: http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=stbarbiter_6112) At this point Setek is so well equipped it's…
  • We also saw them fire green Photons, so the Biomolecular Torps are a good match, too.
  • Ha! Stupid me! I had STO running in Win XP Compatibility Mode from when I tried to get it to run on the internal graphics. Switched that off and I know have sound and no more crashes! I'm officially back!
  • Two tactical consoles? My Oberth runs one tactical console, heh. ;P Only using two tactical consoles sounds awesome. Makes space for gimmick consoles :) BTW: I'm almost back! Installed my new PSU today, the system even started (I'm always scared when changing components). Started STO, but had no sound and a CTD during my…
  • This has been asked multiple times. Unfortunately I don't think we ever got a dev response on that. I'm not aware of any way to reduce the spam outside of disabling directional shield FX in the options. I totally agree with you. I'd really love to scale it down and see more of the beautiful ship models while in combat. I…
  • Well, seems like it's my turn to have a faulty PSU... I do have a new no-name one lying around, but it has no pins for the GPU (works okay with the the integrated HD 3000, but STO crashes with a Direct3D driver error). My tablet was enough to get my daily Q-thingies (thank you for /renderscale Cryptic!) but it's definitely…
  • If you want to go more defensive: Rally Point Marker is a very nice heal that starts at Lt.
  • I had to double check if this was a necro as the OPs info is really outdated. Plus, it's not the only way. The secret of high DPS: - Understanding of game mechanics - Piloting (i.e. knowing how to chain abilities, knowing the maps, when to use which buffs for maximum effect) There are plenty high DPS builds that don't…
  • I switched to Win 10 shortly after it released and I didn't have any issues running STO on it. If you have problems it is most likely connected to your graphic card driver. Always worth it to see if an older version works. There are guides on how to prevent Windows Update from automatically installing the latest version.…
  • If you are lucky enough to have http://sto.gamepedia.com/Emergency_Conn_Hologram_%28FED%29 from last year's Crystalline Event you can make cruisers incredibly fast. I did it once with the Sovereign with High Yield Torpedoes. It's almost TOO fast, but lots of fun. Sadly none of my Alts finished that project. They have it…
  • "Would you want LCARS type Forums?" - yes a - yes b - yes c - yes d - yes e What a poll.... I vote for "no". It is inredibly difficult to make a LCARS inspired design work. The only example I know that really works is ufplanets.com It has been pretty obvious that the current web development team (if there even is one) is…
  • I just want to mention something in response to all the "play the exchange and you have no issues with EC". The only EC in this game comes from loot, doffing and now the admiralty system. Playing the exchange does not generate more EC it just shifts it from one player to another. Usually from poorer, inexperienced players…
  • In Season 5 "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" Picardo actually plays both Dr. Zimmerman and the EMH. But afaik he was only in that single episode, so your point still stands. In that episode Sisko explains, that the Cardassian technology is incompatible with most Starfleet systems, and that's why they can't install an EMH on the…
