  • Ummm, what world do you live in? *JUST* because it is a digital product does not imply that it takes "a few simple keystrokes" to alter or change. Some things can be altered in a simplified way, while others are harder to alter as they are deeply imbedded into the game's core programing. What you think may be simply be a…
  • I realize that. I know what the term "ignore" means when applied to an MMO type game. That was meant as sarcasm, maybe next time I should try harder? :P
  • Ask Cryptic this question - they designed the DoFF system. According to in-game descriptions, duty officers are members of *your* ship. Perhaps those 30-50 crews are those that can be on-duty at any one time due to stations and the like ...thus the other 70-50 crew members are either: 1) away on duty assignments; 2) in the…
  • DoFF's assignments are extended away missions ... still not the same thing. Those duty officers are from your ship - not another ship's crew.
  • Let us go one further shall we? ... Let's make it more realistic and not show us anything but the bridges of our ships? You'd have to say "On screen" in order to view the ship you are targetting and pay attention to your minimap to see things around you (sensors) - then when they do this, all they'd have to do is wipe the…
  • Well ... how would you know if someone on your team is from your ignore list if you are ... well, you know ... ignoring them? :P Just sayin' :D
  • Having the pick of your ship, and having the luxury of switching ships between battles is *not* the same as commanding a squadron of ships. That would entail being able to take said selection, choosing captains for those ships from *your* bridge officers and then taking all ships selected into battle. *HUGE* difference…
  • Hell, you can even do this another way too ...for Flag Officers:: * Commodore (Level 60) (Usually in command of a small "flotilla" or squadron of starships) **I would stop at this level for average players** * Rear Admiral (Usually in command of a small fixed outpost, ie: space stations) **Original Founder of Fleet (T2)**…
  • I know, but only gave the more typical duties of each type of rank - things can be defined and or added as the Admiral of the Fleet determines.
  • With this command structure in place, this is how I would break down the "levels" to rank (if they desire to do it this way - because for all intents and purposes, after the opening stories, you are a "Captain" of a starship, regardless of level/rank). However, even in wartime - lower ranked officers could be given a…
  • This is how I think they really should have designed the ranking system in Starfleet (others can be derived with their own names off this basis). In keeping with a "Naval" approach to starships, from least to highest: (I've only included notes on the atypical duties of a Flag Officer, because the others are pretty…
  • Kinda odd that you state that ships are not a game, yet in your post state that the ship is the character, not the toon you created at start up. Just sayin'
  • It would appear that no one cares that this system is broken and that over 37 DoFF assignments and over 8 R&D projects are still stuck on "Finishing" for days with not even a response from anyone on when this will be taken care of. Only responses are from more and more players (mainly Rom / KDF) that have had this bug for…
  • Still wondering when this might be addressed ...I've no desire to play my Fed captain - I like the KDF...but now I cannot doff nor do any type of research for them due to this bug.
  • Now all of my KDF captains (which is all but 1 Fed Captain) is getting this stuck on finishing for all DoFF missions and for R&D projects as well. How annoying ...
  • Now I have come down with this bug as well. Lots of missions simply state "Finishing" and it's been over an hour since I logged in ... now my R&D projects are also stuck on "Finishing" with no end in sight ... will this bug ever be quashed?
  • By any standards this type of Klingon is a traitor to the homeworld due to them serving against the KDF during the whole war by choosing the side of the Federation ...henceforth, I would say this type of character should be targetable with or without diplomacy 4.
  • Umm, have you been reading this thread? ... every other post is a flame-fest that is so typical of commentary on these forums lately.
    in Huh? Comment by valastsarran August 2014
  • What he meant was the only *useful* KDF space trait available ... after all, who needs "Efficient" when you have the Plasmonic Leech? :D:cool::P just sayin'
  • There's an upstairs to that embassy ... and a downstairs as well. Upstairs can be found by going to the "sides" of the circular room and looking for stairs up. The downstairs portion is where you want to be and can be found in one of the halls branching off the main circular room, where there is a turbo lift to get there.…
  • Umm, you do realize that the gateway is not the way to share a build as only you can see your stuff, and no other ... just sayin'
  • They shouldn't introduce any new factions in near future. Why? They need to equalize the ones they have now before addition of another psuedo-faction. Granted, the KDF has come leaps and bounds over what it was in the beginning...but still has a ways to go. Same with Romulans and their weird quarter-faction status.
  • Nah, not tears ... just wanting something in this game that it truly lacks: Equal development of each faction with the things that sets them apart... otherwise, why have factions at all?
  • ...and right when you have almost completed everything, the KDF comes in and conquers that section through valiant and glorious battles to expand their ever growing Empire. Hmmm ...kinda puts that into perspective huh? This game is not *just* about the Federation, as much as people would like to forget about the KDF, they…
  • Who says MACO? Use the Adapted Klingon Honor Guard set ... I would think this type of faction specific equipment questions might be better off in said faction's topic on forum... But seriously though, I wouldn't go for MACO as previous gentleman before me posted. Since you guys whined and complained and got one of the few…
  • Exactly ... but they should not be copy / paste of say, Caitan or Feresan either - otherwise you would have people mimicking them without paying for them ...but various other parts with those optionals would be a step in the right direction.
  • The "Workingman" doesn't play MMO's ... he's out ... umm ... Working.
  • My guess? The ones that can be searched for with any rarity are the older Aegis from the older crafting system. The ones marked MKXII are from new crafting. The ones marked MKXII and are Ultra rares are a more powerful set of the second option made with new crafting system. Thus, you want the Ultra Rares.
  • *reads post, sits up - eyes wide* wait ....we have CUPCAKES? Damn ARC from keeping that from me.
  • OR ... better yet... ignore the people that want to say thanks, stop your whining and complaining. There's plenty of other "Cryptic-hate, STO-Sucks" rants on other threads of this forum. Way too many to even begin to count actually. I enjoy this game. I want it to develop. I may not agree with everything Cryptic does or…
