Yawn at yet another U.S.S. Discovery variant, I guess it was inevitable though. Fair play to those who enjoy it, just not my cup of tea personally. One thing I strongly disagree with though is the use of the "current" canon Starfleet uniform being locked behind a paywall. This should be something available to all.

I'd love to see the Luna class remade and added to STO, a really pretty ship design with elements of the Akira and Nebula roled into one. Sadly I believe there are some legal issues surrounding it which may not be possible to overcome. Regarding the new R&D ship, I feel like Cryptic have finally lost their collective…

Visual spam has been an increasing problem for years now. Newer traits and modules have to be MORE FLASHY and MORE EXCITING than those that came before, because reasons. I echo what one user posted about early game space battles feeling more appropriate and I tend to agree. I deliberately use "non-meta" builds in my ships…

It's decent, don't get me wrong. However if you look closely you can really tell it's an old model from the poly count, especially around the phaser arrays. Texture quality isn't as good either, bussard collectors are very plain when they should have a similar texture to the Sovreigns collectors, just in a smaller profile.…

I actually quite liked the Guardian of Forever mission. It was a great throwback to one of the best TOS episodes, they would do well to consider reintroducing it at some point. One thing I'd love to see Cryptic do, is to make a mission arc that doesn't necessarily have some new "threat" to justify the constant pew pews.…
-
Yes, I have all of them :). I quite like the Brigid design, however in my opinion you can't beat the original, hence why I'm hoping for a remodel at some point. Agreed, I love many of the STO inspired designs however there's something rather unique; dare I say "alien" about the Vesta. Like they were trying something…
-
For what it's worth, I'd be happy to buy this from the C-Store. Just not lobi nonsense... I'm tired how much content gets locked behind that, especially if it's Federation related. Alien costumes or tech? Sure why not. But a Federation uniform? That would be taking the pee.
-
Agreed, it would be cool to see. However I think Cryptic have more than enough story content to chew on just with the new shows coming out, it's quite a turn of events really. If you think about it Cryptic was the sole creator of "prime" timeline Star Trek content (excluding comics and books) for quite a number of years.…

I've mastered 6 of the Legendary Bundle ships thus far in recent days, in total... probably too many. It's actually very straight forward to get them to rank V mastery, if you team up with a few people one Argala run on Elite difficulty is typically enough to get to rank V. Rank VI takes several more attempts though. I'm…

Some interesting comments here. I've played STO since launch, on and off. The most recent break being two whole years. I've come back to it and found it a lot of fun to get back into, to the point where I'm thinking of creating another alt (to add to the large already pile) and play through it all again, as well as…

I reported this bug a few hours ago, see this thread for more information. Community staff are aware. https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1253573/dyson-battlezone-causing-ctd-character-stuck

Darkblade. I just tried to log in on that character again, CTD. No error code, but the error reporter gives me an incident ID of 11a268.

"It's just done to represent Harry Mudds notoriety as a conn artist". From a thematic perspective, yeah... it would make sense. However, this isn't just a store where you're purchasing things with free in-game currency i.e. energy credits. You're paying with real money with Zen. If it were credits, it could be laughed at…
-
For the record guys, unless you're lucky it's often best just to sell keys on the Exchange and outright buy whatever you want with energy credits. I've only ever won one ship through lootboxes, the good old Bug attack ship back in the day... since then... nothing. Walkers are going for about 220 million at the moment,…

I've tried reducing the number of UI panels I use to a minimum in order to improve FPS but that starts to present issues with game play. I got rid of the "throttle" bar in space, but then that means Shift+R for full impulse and slipstream don't work for some reason unless you bind them to an action bar... for which I have…

:D Well, wasn't my intention to start an argument... Can I have popcorn too btw?

You are quite correct about the RAM usage, however what I'm getting at more than anything else (I didn't communicate this well) was the fact my RAM clock speed is signifantly higher than yours. Thus better performance for what RAM is being utilised by the .exe.
-
It seems highly unlikely for you to be having better performance than me given that you half half as much RAM, a slower CPU and a model down in GPU to my system. Also, as the poster just stated the reason you're getting 60fps constant is because of vysnc which ties the refresh rate to that of your monitor (60mhz in your…
-
Much of what you've quoted there is to do with CONTENT updates, not back end engine tweaks and reworks. The lighting system and the way in which kits work etc are some of the notable exceptions. Pretty much 2/3 of that list isn't even related to what you're quoting me. What settings do you use? And what are your system…
-
I don't use vsync or and FPS limiters because I don't need them, Gsync replaces vsync and helps to stop screen tear. I'm using Overwolfs overlay for Teamspeak which has a built in FPS counter. Are you guys honestly serious when you say you suffer no FPS drop with or without the UI enabled? Just pressing U to open up…
-
You would be wrong friend, I would LOVE a T6 Nova/Rhode Island with a model overhaul. It's an awesome little ship!
-
Thanks guys, i'm still upgrading the consoles on my Sutherland atm but she's shaping up to be quite nice indeed. Like you say, I've got no tactical consoles on the ship, just universals which boost EPG and Drain with torps as my primary offensive weapon next to my space magic. I'm just about to start a night shift, but…

I still have my Windows 3.1 install floppy disks upstairs somewhere, I doubt they support that either. Nostalgia though, imagine most people having to go through command prompt just to load the Windows OS. They'd have a fit.
-
As much as I loved Windows XP, it's time has well passed now. Anyone still using it is frankly leaving themselves open to vulnerabilities in the code since Microsoft hasn't given it any security updates, or updates of any time for quite a while now. Windows 7 is still a great OS and I plan on using it for a while yet…

You will be able to trade to a degree, so you open the pack... get lucky and pick which ship you want. It will then be in a reward package in your inventory which you can trade if you wish. However once you open it the ship will be bound to that particular character.
-
To be people reminded us of "well the game has to be paid for somehow" yeah I realise Cryptic are a business, but putting something like a Constitution which is ALREADY in the game as a T1 ship shouldn't be then put in as possibly the most exclusive and most expensive ship with T6 status slapped on it. Yeah I imagine they…
-
I'm glad people will have another shot at the TOS Connie, but seriously Cryptic. It belongs in the bloody C-Store, I can deal with alien ships being in your gamble boxes but not playable factions it's more than a little bit of a TRIBBLE take. It's not like I can even take advantage of this because it's possibly the worst…
-
I'll agree with most things said here. It's absolutely one of my top STO missions, I'd say easily in the top three. Please Cryptic, we really love these missions where we actually get to explore for once with limited combat. We have plenty of time for pew pew but very little exploration. I would agree that the way in which…
-
I have to agree with this, instead of throwing out a huge amount of missions like with LoR (although they had to in some respects to flesh out the Romulan faction) the downside is the players mow through said content in a few days to a week then complain on the forums that there's nothing to do. We have our initital boost…
-
If Cryptic did that I would likely throw my wallet, debit and credit card at the screen until one materialised in my inventory ;). Sadly I was flat out broke during that promotion so after six years nearly of wanting an end game Constitution from the prime universe (I do have the Kelvin one - but it's not the same) I…
