  • #1 has the most identifiable Trek elements, but the dome biosphere concept of #2 is too interesting to pass, and it got my vote.
  • Update: got the promotional Alienware Arena Disco starter pack, was able to redeem the items on ONE other character (the one who opened the pack in the "promotions" tab. No other character can redeem either version of the pack.
  • I have the same issue and, based on your second comment I'd imagine everyone else as well... I wonder if getting the Alienware Arena promotional Discovery Starter Pack will be a workaround, but those packs are limited anyway.
  • What's the stance on the UK now? Guess they're out...?
  • Am I the only one who is a bit put off by the way the temporal agents talk about the "anomaly growing over time" (and how this is bad), needing to find the secondary anomaly "before it gets worse" and "not having enough time" because the anomaly is "accelerating"? Aren't they time travelers? And isn't temporal shielding a…
    in "Ripples" Comment by velrenn April 2017
  • Very nice story. Again, I say those should be made available in-game. Just one part made me a bit confused. In the Security Officer’s Log, March 29th, 1572, T'Von wrote: "I have devised a plan of guerrilla warfare at Chief Sheridan’s request." Shouldn't it be "Chief Nichols"? Sheridan was the nurse, and if I understood…
  • This was a very nice story piece, and I'm going to echo the sentiment of others who said those pieces should be made available in-game. I have to say, however, that the beginning of it was a little rough around the edges. Kate Bankson got talent for sure, but maybe a little bit of editorial support would be beneficial. I…
  • If it had an aft-starboard and a front-port engines (as the picture could feasibly support), then it would spin just like that. Wouldn't go many places, but would be a nice allegory for the project.
  • Well, a forward spread would reasonably be a menace to the whole saucer. I guess targeting systems could create a dead zone in the spread for safety, but that wouldn't be tactically effective in a lot of situations (on the other hand, hitting the saucer would be even less effective).
  • Maybe it's coming in the next lockbox? Or maybe in a R&D pack promotion. It seems to have become the norm lately.
  • Well, it's half the amount of hangars to a ship from a half faction.
  • As a firm defender of IDIC I hope they bring this interface to PC as an option to anyone that wants to play the game with a controller. This is specially useful for folks that like to hook their laptops (or even desktops) to their TVs. In the same vein I still advocate that there is no strong enough reason to separate (or…
  • While I'm excited to see investment in further development for the game (specially the graphics update), I am sad and disappointed at the prospect of not having cross-play between PC, PS4 and Xbone. As is has been said above, Final Fantasy XIV showed it can be done, and it can be done right. And the absence of cross-play,…
  • Because other languages don't use or care about context. Right.
  • This: Seems to contradict this: I understand (and appreciate) that you went to the trouble of removing the need to run the seasonal events on multiple toons and even added a tab to the event store through which players can reclaim previous reward ships with newly created toons (which is really neat). But, since new players…
  • Abuse of the alt discount could be prevented by making the pearls BoA, having the ships unlock to the whole account with a single purchase and having the daily modified so it could only be completed once a day by a single character on the account. No need to change the currency or retire old ships. But, of course, that…
  • And what exactly is wrong with buying the event ship on day one with leftover pearls? It's not like those people didn't spend the extra time logged and doing the event to get them. It's just the metrics calling the shots, again.
  • With each update STO becomes more and more like a korean MMO (not surprisingly). I quit every single one of those, starting with the original Ragnarok Online, because eventually I just couldn't stand the grind. It will be a sad day when I have to quit STO. I love Star Trek and used to love this game. It used to be very…
  • From what I've seen so far I don't think many people have got the main point of the post quoted above. He meant that the iconian rep (and especially lock box ships) shouldn't happen because the Iconians are supposed to be absurdly overpowered (even more so than the Borg). If they just hand that kind of tech to the players…
  • So Iconians' sig was right all along. :D
  • So according to the Release Notes for June 19, 2014: " - Romulan Republic Powerboards have been added for Romulan Captains. - If players have already purchased their faction specific Powerboard, they may be traded in for free for the Romulan version at the vendor." But what if I, as a romulan captain, bought another…
  • It's not really that hard to address that particular issue. The simplest way to do that is to make it so the items that are currently equipped on your ship swap places with the items you're equipping through the loadout system, wherever they may be (inventory, bank or another ship). After all, they'll be trading places…
  • Such a passionate reaction. Clearly it is too much of a hassle to stop for a couple of seconds and check what you're about to sell. Also there's buyback. But in any case use of the system is not mandatory, and nothing will change for those that choose not to use it. So I really don't see the point for the outburst. It's a…
